SETUP 

FUNCTIONS 

The advanced setup mode lets you customize your transmitter’s preferences and 
defaults.  This transmitter features different sub groups that organize all setup 
parameters.  

The sub-groups are: 

5.1  Offset Setting (Unavailable in ORP mode) 

 As a result of the continuous measurement and the application concerned, it may 
not be convenient to remove the electrode for calibration. In such cases, an on-line 
Offset adjustment is offered. 

1.  Press ENT key. Transmitter displays ‘

OFS

’. Press ENT 

again. Upper display shows amount of offset, in terms of pH; 
lower display shows current measured pH value.  

2. Use 

 or 

 

keys to introduce offset to pH readings. As the 

lower measured reading changes, upper display records the 
amount of offset. Maximum of ± 2.00 pH offset is allowed. 

3. 

Press both 

 or 

 

keys together to return to ‘ MEAS ‘ mode
