INTRODUCTION
Congratulations on your purchase of WT-10 pH/Temp.
pen-type water quality meter. A convenient instrument
to measure water pH value and temperature.
Features
• IP66 Waterproof housing.
• Easy to read 45° angle display
• Dual display with ATC (°C / °F switchable)
• Data hold to freeze display
• Replaceable pH electrode
• Auto power off
• One touch only for calibration
OPERATION
1. Remove the cover to expose the electrode.
Electrode is protected by a small transparent
plastic cap. It is normal if white crystals are present
on the electrode assembly. Rotate the small
transparent plastic cap in clockwise direction to
expose the electrode glass bulb. DON’T pour out
the liquid in the small cap, the liquid is used to
keep electrode wet.
2. Press “POWER” button to turn on the meter. Dip
the electrode into the test solution and gently stir
it to get a stable reading.
3. A small dot “ ” is flashing while the meter
is working, the screen shows pH value and
temperature (ATC) with unit °C or °F (Fig.1)
4. Press “HOLD” button to freeze the current
reading. The small dot stops flashing.
5. The meter is capable of taking measurements with
Automatic Temperature Compensation. “ATC”
shows at the left corner of the screen.

6. Turn off the meter by pressing “POWER” button.
7. Put back the transparent plastic cap and outer
cover to protect the electrode.
8. Easy to change the temperature unit. When meter
is off, press “POWER” & “CAL/q” at the same
time and then release the “POWER” key to enter
unit setting. Press “HOLD/UNIT” to select °C or °F
(Fig. 2). Then, press “CAL/q”to store the setting,
the display shows “SA” for one second and then
return to normal measurement mode.
Auto Power Off
This instrument will shut off automatically in approx. 20
minutes for every power on. For recording or operating
over longer period of time, disable the sleep mode by
pressing “POWER” and “HOLD/UNIT” at the same time
before power on and then release the “POWER” key.
An “n” will appear in the middle of the screen for one
second (Fig.3) and return to the normal measurement
mode.
Calibration Mode (Cal)
Calibration is necessary and should be done regularly.
Recommend every day if the meter is used very often.
1. Power on the meter.
2. Press “CAL/q” to enter calibration mode, “4.00 “
&”CAL” will display on the LCD.
NOTE: If the buffer is incorrectly inserted or the
probe is damaged, “CAL” will not flash.
3. After about 60 seconds, the value will be
automatically saved. “SA” shows for one second
and then entering next calibration point.

4. LCD now shows “7.00 “ &”CAL”, CAL doesn’t flash
until you remove the meter into correct calibration
buffer. “CAL” flash for about 30 seconds, then,
value will be saved automatically and “SA”
shows for 1 second. Same procedure for 10.00
calibration. (Fig.4)
5. 3 calibration points: 4.00, 7.00 and 10.00. After
completing the last calibration point 10.00, the
meter shows “End” for one second and return to
normal measurement mode.
6. To calibrate “7.00” before “4.00”, press “CAL/
q”KEY to select the desired calibration point.
“CAL” should be kept at non-flash status while
selecting the calibration point.
7. The meter designs with an adjustable calibration
range to meet different solution standard. The
adjustable range for 4.00 pH is 3.50 to 4.50. Hold
“HOLD/UNIT” key cycle from 3.5 to 4.5 then
3.5 again. Release the key when desired point
is selected. The adjustable range for pH 7.00 is
6.50~7.50. For 10.00 pH range, it is 9.50~10.5.
8. Rinse the probe with de-ionized water or a rinse
solution (tap water...) after each measurement to
lengthen the meter’s life. without saving.

MAINTENACE AND REPAIR
Make sure the electrode is clean! Between
measurements, rinse the electrode with deionised water.
If the eletrode has been exposed to a solvent immiscible
with water, clean it with a solvent miscible with water
e.g. ethanol or acetone and rinse carefully with water.
Store the electrode carefully! Before storing, rinse it
carefully in deionized water and store WET.
Battery Replacement
Replace your batteries when the readings on the display
are flashing or meter can not power on. To replace the
battery:
1. Remove the pH electrode module (see next
section).
2. Replace with two new CR2032 batteries.
3. Put back the pH electrode module.
4. Recalibrate the pH meter after battery change.
Remove batteries from meter before long term storage.
Electrode Replacement
Replace the electrode module when needed.
1. Place the finger nail under the clip, pull up the clip
to release the lock and then push up the top part
of the meter.(Fig.5)
2. Push down the top part of the meter into a new
electrode module, align with the internal guides
to lock the meter.

TROUBLESHOOTING
Power on but no display
Check the batteries are in place and making good
contact and correct polarity. Replace a new battery if
needed.
Slow response
Clean probe by immersing the electrode in tap water for
10-15 minutes, then thoroughly rinse with distilled water
or use a general purpose electrode cleaner.
- - - -
Out of pH range. Too acidic or too alkaline or the
electrode is not immersed in the water.
