Recommendations for Users
Before using this product, make sure that it is entirely suitable for
the environment in which it is used. Operation of this instrument
in residential area could cause unacceptable interferences to
radio and TV equipments, requiring the operator to take all
necessary steps to correct interferences.
The glass bulb at the end of the pH electrode is sensitive to
electrostatic discharge. Avoid touching this glass bulb at all times.
For calibration it is recommended to use an antistatic
screwdriver.
Any variation introduced by the user to the supplied equipment
may degrade the instrument's EMC performance. To avoid
electrical shock, do not use this instrument when voltages at the
measurement surface exceed 24 Vac or 60 Vdc.
To avoid damages or burns, do not perform any measurement in
microwaveovens.
MAINTENANCE
• Separate the compartment from the tester.
• Remove deposits formed on the liquid junction
and pH glass bulb by soaking in HI 7061 cleaning
solution for 30 minutes.
• Soak the platinum wire in acetone for 30 minutes.
• Rinse glass bulb, platinum wire and liquid junc-
tion thoroughly with distilled water
• Re-assemble the compartment and the tester.
• Fill the compartment with tap water.
BATTERY REPLACEMENT
When the Water Test cannot be switched on or the
display fades, pull out the battery cover and replace
all three 1.5V batteries, while paying attention to their
polarity. Battery replacement must only take place in
a safe area and using the battery types specified in
this instruction manual.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The Water Test is a "four-in-one" portable meter designed for quick
and reliable measurement of the four most important variables in
water analysis: pH, ORP, conductivity and temperature.
Water Test is engineered with great simplicity, that even non-techni-
cal personnel can use it: just fill the base with the sample to be
measured, press the RANGE key to select the mode and read the
measurement.
Water Test is perfect for use in the fields of water treatment analysis,
wastewater test, ecological studies, aquaculture and hydroponic ap-
plications.

OPERATION
• Do not be alarmed if white crystals appear around
the cap. This is normal with pH electrodes and
they dissolve when rinsed with water.
• Take a sample of the water to be tested and pour
into the black compartment of the Water Test.
If you are scooping up the water with the black
compartment, do not immerse above the indicated
maximum immersion level.
• Turn the tester on by pressing the ON/OFF
key on the front panel.
• The tester will enter the temperature mea-
surement mode, indicated by the "°C" sym-
bol on the display.
• Press the RANGE key once to enter the
conductivity (µS/cm) mode.
• Press the RANGE key again to display pH.
• Press the RANGE key once again to dis-
play ORP (mV).
• If the tester compartment has been left dry
for more than 2 days, wait for about 5 min-
utes before taking pH measurements.
• For more accurate measurements, make sure that Water Test is
calibrated for pH and conductivity before use.
• After measurements, empty the compartment, rinse it with tap water
and switch the tester off by pressing the ON/OFF key.
• When the tester is not in use, fill the compartment
with tap water.
For long term storage, keep the tester in its origi-
nal box.
NEVER USE DISTILLED OR DEIONIZED WATER
FOR STORAGE PURPOSES.
pH CALIBRATION
• Pour a small quantity of distilled water into the
black compartment, rinse by shaking the compart-
ment and then discard the content.
• Pour a small quantity of pH 7 (HI7007) buffer solu-
tion into the compartment and switch the tester on
by pressing the ON/OFF key.
• Press the RANGE key until the display enters the
pH measurement mode.
• Adjust the right trimmer located behind
the front cover until the display shows "7.0
pH".
• Discard the pH 7 solution and rinse the
compartment with distilled water.
• Pour a small quantity of pH 4 (HI7004) or
pH 10 (HI7010) buffer solution into the com-
partment.
• Adjust the left trimmer located behind the
front cover until the display shows "4.0 pH"
or "10.0 pH".
• Discard the buffer solution and rinse the
compartment with distilled water.
• The unit is now calibrated for pH and ready
for use.
CONDUCTIVITY CALIBRATION
• Rinse the black compartment with distilled
water, then fill it with HI7031 conductivity so-
lution to overflow and switch the tester on by
pressing the ON/OFF key. The temperature
of the solution will be displayed.
• Note the temperature of the solution and read
the corresponding conductivity from the table
on the solution bottle label (e.g. 1413 µS/cm
@25°C).
• Remove the screw on the right side of the casing to access the
conductivity calibration trimmer. Press the RANGE key to display
the conductivity measurement mode and adjust the trimmer
until the display shows the conductivity reading at the noted tem-
perature (e.g. 1278 µS/cm @20°C). Replace the screw after calibra-
tion.
