This meter is designed with an
automatic temperature compensation
feature.
Please remove the pH electrode soaker
bottle on the electrode before use.
Step 1
Rinse the probe with de-ionized or
distilled water before use in order to
remove any impurities adhering on
the probe. If the electrode is
dehydrated, soak it for 30 minutes in
KCl solution before taking the reading
Step 2
Press power on key.
Step3
Dip the electrode into the sample, the
electrode must be completely
immersed into the sample. Stir the
probe gently to create a homogenous
sample and shorten the stabilizing
time.
Step4
Wait until the reading is stabilized.

Step 1
Rinse the probe with de-ionized or
distilled water before use to remove
any impurities adhering on the
electrode. If the meter is not used for
a long time, please soak the probe in
clear water for more than 30 minutes to
eliminate the inert effect of the probe.
Step 2
Press the power on key.
Step 3
Dip the probe into the sample. Make
sure there is no air bubbles trapped in
the slot of the probe. Gentle stir the
probe to remove the air bubbles,
Making sure the electrode tips is
totally immersed in the testing sample.
Step 4
Wait until the reading is stabilized.

SALINITY MEASUREMENT
Under normal mode, please connect
the Cond. probe to the meter. Press EC
SALT key to switch to SALT ppt unit.
Please follow the conductivity
measurement as step 1~4 above to
take the salinity measurement.
DISSOLVED OXYGEN MEASUREMENT
Pleas remove the DO electrode
protective cap on the electrode before
use.

Step 1
Press the power on key.
It might take a few minutes to about 1
hour for the meter to have a stable
D.O. reading in the air. The D.O.will be
displayed on LCD with mg/l unit.
Step 2
Dip the probe into the sample. Making
sure the electrode tips is totally
immersed when you stir it.
Step 3
Wait until the reading is stabilized.
You can press “% mg/L” key to switch
measurement unit to % .
In the normal mode, press MEM key
can memorize up to 99 points records.
The MEMO number will be displayed

In normal mode, press enter to
switch temperature display of
different probes. The TEMP icon
will blink with a second parameter,
like DO, COND, or pH on the LCD.
Then the temp column shows the
current temperature from the probe
with blinking icon. For example,
when TEMP and DO icons are
blinking, the temperature reading
on the TEMP column means the
measured temperature status comes
from D.O. Probe.

the upper part of the screen.
2.Press △ or ▽ key to change the status
from no to YES (Fig 3), press ENTER
key again to confirm to clear all memory.
The LCD will return to P10 when
memories are deleted. ( Fig 1)
NOTE:
The memo ry clear option is designed
to clear 99 memories at once. Please
consider carefully if you decide to
clear the memory. This operation can
not be recovered
The clearing function only delete the
current using probe records. For
example: in mode 8602 if the ph probe
is currently used, it only delete the ph
records in the memory. If the dissolved
oxygen is plugged, then only the
dissolved oxygen records will be deleted.
In model 8603,press yes to clear memory
will delete all records of the 3 parame ters
saved in the meter.

Rinse the electrode in de-ionized water
or pure water. DO NOT wipe the pH
probe dry. Wiping the probe may cause
static and cause calibration and
measurement instability.
CALIBRATION
PH probe
Selecting the valid buffer will help the
meter to recognize the buffer and
calibrate the probe precisely. Please
clear the electrode with de-ionized
water or detergent, and follow the
procedures for PH calibration value
setup.
The Ph calibration procedure is as
followings:
Insert the PH probe into the meter.
1. Power on the meter
2. Pour PH buffer into a clean container
and put the electrode into buffer.
Suggest to start from middle range
buffer, such as pH7.01
3. Make sure the pH electrode is
completely immersed in buffer.
In model 8603, first select the probe type
you want before entering calibration
mode. To select the probe type, simply
press “ ENTER “ to select, a flashing icon
or or will appear with each
press.

6. If the auto recognized value is different
from your standard buffer, pressing
△ or ▽ key to adjust.
7.Wait for 30 seconds or pressing ENTER
key, SA ( Fig 20) will be displayed on the
LCD to indicate the calibration is saved.
8. Repeat step 1~7 to do 4.01 & 10.01
calibration.
