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 ).
4-2 Requiring Equipment for Calibration
1)Combination pH electrode ( PE-12, included ).
2)Buffer solutions :
pH 7.00 buffer solution ( PH-07A, included ).
pH 4.00 buffer solution ( PH-04A, included ).
4-3 Calibration procedures
pH 7 calibration
1)Place the electrode into pH 7.00 buffer solution ( PH-07A )
2)Power on the instrument by pressing the " Power button "
( 3-2, Fig. 1 ).
3)Press the " Hold button " ( 3-3, Fig. 1 ) once.
the display will show the " HOLD " symbol.
Press the " button " ( 3-3, Fig. 1 ) once, the display▼
will show following screen in sequence.

pH 4 calibration
1)Rinse the electrode in distilled water.
Place electrode into buffer pH 4.00 solution.
2)All the calibration procedures are same as the
above pH calibration, except :
a. Change the buffer solution to pH 4.00 ( PH-04A ).
b. The calibration screen value will change to 7.00
instead of 4.00
Remark :
* Except calibrate pH 7, pH 4, meter also can calibrate
pH 10.
* The calibration procedures should start from the pH 7 at
first, then pH 4 ( or pH 10 ).
* During the calibration, the circuit will sensing solution
value automatically. If the buffer solution value already
beyond 7± 1 pH. 4± 1 pH, 10± 1 pH, the LCD will
show " Err ".
* When the LCD show the screen 2, it allow the user to
adjust another calibration value precisely ( for example
7.01, 6.99... ) by pressing the " button " ( 3-2, Fig.▲
1 ) , " button " ( 3-4, Fig. 1 )'▼
* Rinse the electrode in distilled water before change
the buffer solution.
* Repeat above pH, pH calibration procedures two
times at least.
* After calibration, the " Electrode sensing head "
( 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. MEASURING PROCEDURE
5-1 pH measurement
After the 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 solution' temperature.
The LCD will show pH value ( up main display ) and
the temperature value ( lower display ) at the same
time.
3)After make the measurement, please rinse the electrode
in distilled water.
* After calibration, the " pH electrode " ( 3-5,
Fig. 1 ) should insert into the " Protection
bottle " ( 3-7, Fig. 1 ).
* PE-11, 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 )
1)The data record function records the maximum and
minimum readings. Press the " REC Button " ( 3-4, Fig.
1 ) momentarily to start the Data Record function,
shows " REC " on the display.
2)With the " REC " symbol on the display.
a)Press the " REC Button " ( 3-4, Fig. 1 ) momentarily,
the " REC MAX " symbol along with the maximum
value will appear on the display.
b)Press the " REC Button " ( 3-4, Fig. 1 ) momentarily
again, the " REC MIN " symbol along with the
minimum value will appear on the display.
* When display shows " REC MAX " or " REC MIN ",
press the " Hold Button " ( 3-3, Fig. 1 )
momentarily will delete the max. ( min. ) value,
the display will show the " REC. " only and
execute the memory function continuously.
c)To exit the memory record function, press the "
REC " button for 2 seconds at least. The display will
revert to the current reading, not show " REC "
5-4 Change Temp. unit ,℃℉
Press the " / button " ( 3-4, Fig. 1 ) continuously℃℉
at least two seconds, then release the button will
change the Temp. unit from to or to .℃℉℉℃

6. DATA LOGGER
The meter can save max. 100 point data into the
the memory circuit
6-1 Save data
1)Turn on the meter.
2)Press the " REC Button " ( 3-4, Fig. 1 ) momentarily,
shows " REC " on the display.
3)Press the " Logger Button " ( 3-2, Fig. 1 ) momentarily
will save one measuring value to memory, display will
show :
Example :
REC
