PARAMETER SETTINGS
• Once the parameter code (and password
if needed) has been entered, the current
value of the selected parameter will be
displayed on the LCD together with the
parameter code. The parameter or a part of it will blink (e.g.
only the hour blinks if time has been selected).
• Enter the desired value using the arrow keys.
FNC
CFM
• If there is another part of the parameter to be set (e.g. minutes
for the time), press RANGE and then enter the new value using
the arrow keys.
• Press the ALT and CFM keys to confirm the value.
• If the entered value is not accepted, "WRONG" will be displayed for
a few seconds and then the meter will ask for a correct value.
• If the confirmed value is accepted, the meter will pass to the next
parameter (asking for the password if it is protected).
Note:
If the ALT and FNC keys are pressed before parameter value
confirmation, the meter will not update the parameter and
after escaping will ask for a new setup code.

The meter can recognize different batteries charge levels.
1.
Fully charged batteries
- The backlight can be enabled.
2.
Weakening batteries
- The backlight is automatically disabled
and it is not possible to enable it until new batteries are inserted.
The "Batt" indication appears when trying to enable backlight.
The meter can work for about 10 hours.
3.
Dead batteries
- LCD shuts off. The instrument stops working to
avoid erroneous readings.
Battery replacement must only take
place in a non hazardous area using
1.5V alkaline AA type batteries.
In order to replace run down batteries,
simply remove the two screws on the
rear cover of the instrument and re-
place the four 1.5V AA batteries with
new ones, paying attention to the cor-
rect polarity.
BATTERY REPLACEMENT
At the end of the logged data the checksum (2 complement)
is sent.
Note
: The meter will send <CAN> if a corrupted or unknown
command is received.
These commands may be sent with either capital or small letters.
Invalid commands will be ignored. The characters sent by the pH
meter are always capital letters.
