Operating Manual for the Accurate PPM 3.5 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 een used for a long time you will need to
cali rate it for accurate readings. Skip to the cali ration section then return to step 3.
3. Dip the meters electrode into a small sample of the solution to e tested. Stir gently, stop and wait for the
displayed value to sta ilize. The readout num er is the PPM (parts per million) value of the solution. Some
environmental conditions such as electro magnetic fields from lighting, computers, transformers or other
electronic devices may cause the readout to ounce ack and forth displaying 2 or more PPM readings. This is
accepta le and an average etween the PPM readings should e taken. Example: A reading that ounces
etween 700 PPM and 710 PPM should e interpreted as 705 PPM. Note: 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.
4. Immediately after finishing your test, dip or rinse the electrode in distilled water. Stir gently. Then use tissue paper
to lot the excess water from the meter’s ody 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. Put the electrode protector onto the PPM meter
and store it in a cool place out of direct sunlight and moisture. For extended storage time, take the atteries out of
the meter. Do not store with the meter’s electrode su merged in water or solutions.
6. If the unit cannot e switched ON or the display fades replace all of the atteries with new atteries. Use only
one brand of batteries. Never mix battery brands.
