4. pH CALIBRATING PROCEDURE
4-1 Calibrating Consideration
The pH meter already calibrated by mV signal that
simulated from the ideal pH ELECTRODE mV output
( base on 25 environment ). However due to (a) An℃
ideal electrode will produce 0 mV at pH 7.00, but most
electrodes are slightly off. (b) The measuring environment
temperature may not near 25 ( 15 to 35 ).℃℃
If intend to keep instrument combined electrode within
high accuracy, it is necessary to make the following
calibration procedures ( 4-3 ).
* Basic calibration ( single point calibration ) :
pH 7 calibration.
* Complete calibration ( two points calibration ) :
pH 7 calibration and pH 4 calibration.
* During execute the calibration procedures,
if the Display show " Error " information, then please
do the " Calibration clear " procedures, refer page 8.

Calibration clear
During execute the calibration procedures, if
happen some thing wrong ( Display show Error
information ), then execute the following "
Calibration clear " procedures will clear all the
existing calibration data and return to the Default
value.

However after execute the " Calibration clear ".
then make the calibration again. if the Display
still show the " Err " ( error information ), then
the " Standard solution " or the pH electrode "
may existing problem.
The calibration procedures are :
1)Power on the instrument by pressing the " Power button "
( 3-2, Fig. 1 ).
2)Press the " Hold button " ( 3-3, Fig. 1 ) once.
the display will show the " HOLD " symbol.

5. MEASURING PROCEDURE
5-1 pH measurement
After the pH electrode is calibrated
( section 4-3 ) , the unit is ready for measuring.
1)Power on the meter by pressing the " Power button "
( 3-2, Fig. 1 ).
2)Place the electrode into the measured solution, little
shake the electrode and wait a few seconds to let the
ATC ( automatic temperature compensation ) sensor
to stabilize with the temperature of the solution..
The LCD will show pH value ( up main display ) and
the temperature value ( lower display ) at the same
time.
10

3)After make the measurement, please rinse the electrode
in distilled water.
* After the measurement, the " pH electrode "
( 3-5, Fig. 1 ) should insert into the "
Protection bottle " ( 3-7, Fig. 1 ).
* PE-12, PH-07A, PH-04A is the consumer accessory.
5-2 Data Hold
* During the measurement, press the " Hold Button "
( 3-3, Fig. 1 ) momentarily to hold the measured
value. The LCD will show a " HOLD " symbol.
* Press the" Hold Button " once again to release the
data hold function.
5-3 Data Record ( Max., Min. reading )
