ATTENTION
NEVER use the product when it’s freezing cold. Let it warm to room temperature
before using.
NEVER use your nger to touch the pH glass membrane or use other materials to
rub it. Doing so could generate static electricity and cause measurement errors. To
remove extra water on electrode, just shake it o or blot dry with Kimwipe or lint-
free cloth.
ShortPress — 1 second LongPress — 3 seconds
4.1.4 Wait for the reading to stabilize (when stays on the screen), then short press
again to nish the rst point calibration (pressing too early could lead
to Er2 error). "7.00" will be ickering and the meter will return to measurement
mode. Icon (the middle point) will appear at the bottom left, indicating a
successful 1-point calibration.
4.1.5 To calibrate the 2nd point, rinse o the electrode with pure water and remove
excess water. Dip the electrode into pH 10.01 solution and repeat Step 4.1.3 to
4.1.4. "10.01" will be ickering and (the high point) will show up next to
, indicating a successful 2-point calibration.
4.1.6 To calibrate the 3rd point, rinse o the electrode with pure water and remove
excess water. Dip the electrode into pH 4.00 solution and make a quick stir, then
repeat Step 4.1.3 to 4.1.4. "4.00" will be flickering and (the low point) will
display next to and , indicating a successful 3-point calibration.
4.2 NotesaboutCalibration
4.2.1 Always start calibrating with pH 7.00 first. Perform the 2nd and 3rd point
calibration immediately after the 1st point is finished. Do NOT turn off the
meter before you calibrate the second or third point. Otherwise, after you
restart the meter and perform calibration in pH 4.00 or pH 10.01, Er1 error
will be generated and you will have to calibrate with pH 7.00 again. For more
troubleshooting tips with calibration, refer to Section 14.
4.3HowOftentoCalibratetheElectrode?
The frequency that you need to calibrate your pH electrode depends on many factors such
as the nature of test samples, condition of electrodes, and the requirement of the accuracy.
For high-accuracy measurements (≤ ±0.02pH), the electrode should be calibrated before
every test; For general-accuracy measurements (≥ ±0.1 pH), calibrate the electrode every 1-2
weeks.
Inthefollowingcases,theelectrodemustbere-calibrated:
• The electrode hasn’t been used for a long time or a dierent electrode is connected.
• After measuring strong acid (pH<2) or strong base (pH>12) solutions.
• After measuring uoride-containing solution and strong organic solution.
• There is a significant temperature difference between the test sample and the buffer
solution.
5.1HowtoTakepHMeasurement
5.1.1 Short press to power on. Remove the storage
sleeve and rinse the electrode in distilled/
deionized water, then shake o the excess.
5.1.2 Submerge the electrode into your sample solution
at least 1 inch deep, make a quick stir and hold
still.
5.1.3 Record the reading as the pH measurement
when it is stabilized ( comes up and stays on
screen).
The meter is only as accurate as the electrode is clean. Always thoroughly rinse o
the electrode before and after each measurement with distilled water or deionized
water in a container or with a wash bottle.
To remove excessive water, just shake them o or blot dry with Kimwipe or lint-free
cloth. Neverrub the glass membrane of the electrode. Otherwise static electricity
will be generated and cause measurement error.
For tough contaminants staying on the glass membrane or junction, refer to the
following table for cleaning procedures:

Use a soft brush to help thoroughly clean o the contaminants. After the cleaning
procedure, the pH electrode should always be soaked in 3M KCl solution for 12-24 hours
for rehydration. A re-calibration is also necessary before a new pH measurement.
