Note
Press the switches 0.5 seconds or more unless
otherwise specified.
Initial Setup
Attaching/detaching the sensor
Note
Be careful not to twist the waterproof gasket.
Inserting/removing batteries
Electrode conditioning
Note
Before using the sensor for the first time or
after several days of disuse, perform electrode
conditioning.
Perform calibration after electrode condition-
ing.
1. Place some drops of 2000 ppm standard
solution to the flat sensor.
2. Wait a few hours before use.
There is no need to switch the meter ON.
3. Clean the flat sensor with running water.

Mass
Approx. 50 g (excluding batteries)
*1 0.05 mL or more if sampling sheet B (sold sepa-
rately) is used.
*2 The closeness of agreement between a mea-
sured value and an actual value of standard solu-
tion after two-point calibration using 150 ppm and
2000 ppm standard solutions.
The standard solution used for the later cali-
bration was measured after two-point calibra-
tion at 150 ppm and 2000 ppm.
The calibration and measurement are per-
formed at the same temperature.
The error of standard solutions and rounding
error (
1 digit) are not included.
*3 The meter cannot be used underwater.
*4 When the backlight is used, battery life will
shorten.
