• For best results, calibrate frequently.
• From measurement mode, press and hold
ON/OFF
button until
“
CAL
” message appears on display.
• Release the button and dip the tip of the electrode (bottom
4 cm/1½”) in 7.01, 4.01 or 10.01 pH buff er solution at room
temperature.
• On the display 7.01 pH will appear blinking.
• When the buff er is recognized the buff er value will appear and
“ “ will blink.
• The calibration is automatically performed.
• If the fi rst confi rmed buff er is 4.01 or 10.01 pH, the calibration
is done “
Sto
“ will appear and the checker returns to normal
measurement mode.
• If the fi rst confi rmed buff er is 7.01 pH, the checker asks for second
calibration point.
• On the display 4.01 pH will appear blinking.
• By pressing
ON/OFF
button, the calibration is done only in 7.01 pH
buff er. “
Sto
“ will appear and the checker returns to normal
measurement mode.
• For second calibration point, rinse the electrode with water and
dip it in pH 4.01 (or pH 10.01) buff er solution.
• Once the calibration has been automatically performed “

Recommendations for Users
The pH electrode is shipped dry. Before using the Checker Plus
®
,
remove the protective cap and condition the electrode by soaking
the tip (bottom 4 cm/1½”) in pH 7.01 buff er solution for a couple of
hours. Then follow the calibration procedure.
• Do not be alarmed if white crystals appear around the cap. This
is normal with pH electrodes and they dissolve when rinsed with
water.
• Connect the electrode to the meter.
• Turn the Checker Plus
®
on by pressing
ON/OFF
button.
• Remove the protective cap and immerse the tip of the electrode
(bottom 4cm/1½”) in the sample to be tested.
• Stir gently and wait for stable reading.
NEVER IMMERSE THE ELECTRODE OVER THE MAXIMUM IMMERSION
LEVEL. THE CONNECTOR MUST BE ALWAYS CLEAN AND DRY.
• After use, rinse the electrode with water and store it with a few
drops of
HI 70300
storage solution in the protective cap.
DO NOT USE DISTILLED OR DEIONIZED
WATER FOR STORAGE PURPOSES.
• Always replace the protective cap after
use.
