GETTING STARTED
3.1
Unpacking
Your instrument is shipped with a pH electrode, a temperature
probe, buffer solution pH 7.00 , buffer solution pH 4.01 and this
manual. Check the items carefully and contact the place of
purchase immediately if anything is missing or damaged.
3.2
Setting Up
3.2.1
Pull the latch of battery cover located at bottom rear
of instrument and pull out the battery. Unwrap the
battery, attach the battery clip onto it and put it back
into the battery compactment. Finally close the
battery cover.
3.2.2
Plug the temperature probe and pH electrode into
their respective connectors on the side of the
instrument.
3.2.3
Next, you must calibrate the instrument. Follow the
calibration procedure in step 4. Always switch on the
instrument for about 10 minutes to allow the internal
circuitry to stablize before taking any calibration or
measurement

CALIBRATION PROCEDURE
To keep measurement accurate and precise, it is best to
calibrate the instrument each time before a series of
measurements. Use standard buffer solution with temperature
coefficient as in Buffer Solution Reference Table (Page 16).
Prepare one distilled or de-ionized water for rinsing and two
sets of buffer solution, one for rinsing and the other for
calibration. This will prevent carry-over of solution during
calibration.
