Operating Manual for the Accurate PPM 2.5 Meter
1. Remove the protective electrode cap and switch the meter to the ON position.
2. If you are using this meter for the first time or the meter has not been used for a long time you will need to
calibrate it for accurate readings. Skip to the calibration section then return to step 3.
3. Dip the meter’s electrode into a small sample of the solution to the immersion level as shown. Stir gently,
stop and wait for two minutes for the temperature compensation display value to stabilize. The display
number is the PPM (parts per million) value of the solution. Some environmental conditions such as
electromagnetic fields from lighting, computers, transformers or other electronic devices may cause the
readout to bounce back and forth displaying 2 or more PPM readings. This is acceptable and an average
between the PPM readings should be taken. Example: A reading that bounces between 700 PPM and 710
PPM should be interpreted as 705 PPM. Note: The meter is not waterproof. Never dip the meter into a large
body of solution as you may drop it in and ruin the meter. Test small samples only. See pictures. For a
complete temperature compensation, allow the meter’s display reading to stabilize for up to 2 minutes.
4. Immediately after finishing your test, dip or rinse the electrode in distilled water. Stir gently. Then use tissue
paper to blot the excess water from the meter’s body and the electrode’s two metal pins. Replace cap. Note:
As with all quality PPM meters, do not allow the solution that you are testing to dry on the electrode s metal
pins. Also, blotting action must be carefully done in order not to damage the metal pins.
5. When storing the PPM meter, switch the unit to the OFF position. Complete step 4. After step 4, put the cap
onto the PPM meter and store it in a cool place out of direct sunlight and moisture. For extended storage
time take the batteries out of the meter. Do not store with the meter’s electrode submerged in water or
solutions.
If the unit cannot be switched ON or the display fades replace all of the batteries with new
batteries. Use only one brand of batteries. Never mix battery brands.
