MEASUREMENT PROCEDURES

mV Measurement (± 499 mV)

mV measurement range is from -499 mV to +499 mV with a pH probe.

1. Follow Step 1 in the pH Measurement section (page 30) to clean and

soak the probe.

2. Press

POWER

to turn the meter on. Press

MODE

to select mV mode.

3. Follow Steps 3-5 in the pH Measurement section (page 30) to obtain

a reading.

4. Press

MODE

to switch between mV and pH.

ORP (mV) Measurement (± 1999 mV)

Oxidation Reduction Potential (ORP) measurement range is -1999 mV to

+1999 mV. Use an ORP probe for measurement:

1. Follow Step 1 in the pH Measurement section (page 30) to clean and

soak the probe.

2. Press

POWER

to turn the meter on. Press

MODE

to select

mV measurement.

3. Follow Steps 3-5 in the pH Measurement section (page 30) to obtain

a reading.

Note...

There is no need to take temperature compensation into consideration

when measuring ORP.
