Testing the pH of a Sample
1. Perform the pH Calibratoin as described above
2. Rinse and dry the pH Probe and submerge it in a sample liquid
3. Stir the solution briefly with the probe and allow it to stand until the display stabilizes
4. Note that the closer the temperature of the sample solution to the calibration solution, the more
accurate readings

Notes on P2 and P3 Parameters: Measurements of distilled water and distilled water mixed with
ammonia affect the temperature compensation and the slope linearity of the pH probe. Such
measurements are sometimes used in the electrical power and petrochemical industries. Set these
parameters to ON only if necessary, otherwise leave these parameters in the OFF state.
