SPECIFICATIONS OPERATION
• Turn the meter on by pressing the ON/OFF button.
• Immerse the probe in the sample to be measured, without 
exceeding the maximum immersion level.
• Stir gently and wait for stable reading. The meter automat-
ically compensates for temperature variations.
• To extend the batteries life, after 5 minutes of non-use the 
meter provides for auto-off.
ERROR CODES
Error in calibration, wrong calibration solution 
or damaged probe.
Over range.
Low battery indication.

BATTERIES REPLACEMENT
The ”Eb” message on the LCD warns 
the user when the batteries have to 
be replaced. 
Open the battery compartment and 
replace the both 1.5 V batteries, 
while observing the correct polarity. 
Batteries should be replaced only 
in a non hazardous area using 
the battery type specified in this 
instruction sheet.
Important note: Once the batteries have been replaced, 
turn the meter OFF and then ON again. Wait for about 
30 seconds to allow a complete self-test, and then perform 
a new calibration.
CALIBRATION
• Switch the meter on.
• Press and hold the ON/OFF button for about 3 seconds. 
The required calibration solution value will start blinking on 
the display to indicate that the calibration mode has been 
entered.

• Immerse the probe in the proper calibration solution without 
exceeding the maximum immersion level.
• Stir gently and wait for about 20 seconds.
• Once the display stops blinking, the meter is calibrated 
and ready for use.
