3.4 Reading Stability Display Mode

When the measuring value is stable, smiley icon stays on LCD,

see Diagram – 4. If the smiley icon does not appear or flash, please do

not get the reading value or make calibration until the measuring value is

stable. Per parameter P1.3, there are 3 criteria for stability standard:

(Normal), (High), and (Low). The factory default is set “Normal”.

“High” is set for stability for longer time, “Low” is set for stability for shorter

time. User can select suitable stability criteria according to different testing

requirement.

3.5 Automatic Lock Display Mode

When the reading value stabilizes more than 10 seconds, the meter locks the

measuring value automatically and displays HOLD icon, see Diagram – 5.

In the HOLD mode, press to release lock-up.

3.6 Automatic Power-off

The meter will be power-off if there is no operation for 20 minutes. The time of auto power-off can be set in

parameter setting P3.2

3.7 Manual Temperature Compensation (MTC)

When the temperature probe does not connect to the meter, long press key, temperature value flashes,

then long press key or short press key to change the temperature value in one way, and press

to confirm the temperature value to achieve Manual Temperature Compensation (MTC).

pH Measurement

4.1 pH Electrode Information

The meter connects to 201T-F plastic three-in-one combination pH electrode with built-in temperature

sensor, with automatic temperature compensation function. Electrode housing is made of polycarbonate

engineering plastics, which is corrosion and impact resistant. The BNC socket of electrode connects pH

socket. RCA socket connects temperature socket. When dipping pH electrode in the solution, please stir

the solution briefly to eliminate any air bubbles and allow it to stay in the solution until the reading is

stable

Note: The 201T-F Combination Glass pH/temp. Electrode is only suitable for general water solutions’ pH

measurement. For special applications such as low ion concentration or complex solutions, please refer to

Section 10 to find the most suitable pH electrode model.

4.2 pH Calibration Consideration

4.2.1. Standard buffer solution

The meter uses two series of standard buffer solution: USA series and NIST series, 3 solutions for each

series which are corresponding to calibration indication icons. Please see Chart - 3 for the two series of

standard buffer solution.

4.2.2. Three-point calibration

The instrument can perform 1-3 points calibration. The first point calibration must use 7.00 pH (or 6.86 pH)

standard solution, then select other standard solution to perform the second and the third point calibration.

See chart – 4.

4.2.3. Calibration frequency

Calibration frequency depends on the sample, the electrode performance, and the required accuracy. For

high accuracy measurements (≤ ±0.03pH), the meter should be calibrated immediately before taking a

measurement. For general accuracy (≥±0.1pH), the meter can be calibrated and used for approximately

one week before the next calibration.

The meter must be recalibrated in the following situations:

(a) New probe or probe that has not been used for a long time

(b) After measuring acid (pH<2) or alkaline solutions (pH>12)

(d) If the solution’s temperature differs greatly from the calibration solution temperature.

4.3 pH Meter Calibration (with an example of 3-point calibration)

4.3.1. First point calibration

(a) Press key to enter the calibration mode, “CAL 1”

flashes at the top right of LCD and “7.00 pH” flashes at the bottom right of

LCD, indicating using pH 7.00 buffer solution to make the 1st point calibration.

(b) Rinse pH electrode in distilled or deionized water, allow it to dry, and

submerge it in pH7.00 buffer solution. Stir the solution briefly and allow it to

stay in the buffer solution until a stable reading is reached. When stable icon

stays on LCD, press key to calibrate, then 1st point calibration is

finished, the meter enters in measurement mode of one-point calibration.

Calibration guide icon will display at the bottom left of LCD.

4.3.2. Second point calibration

Press key to enter the calibration mode, “CAL 2” flashes at the top right

of LCD indicating to make the 2nd point calibration. Rinse pH electrode in

distilled or deionized water, allow it to dry, and submerge it in pH4.00 buffer

solution. Stir the solution briefly and allow it to stay in the buffer solution until

a stable reading is reached. The meter’s display will show scanning and

locking process of calibration buffer solution at the bottom right of LCD. When

the meter locks 4.00 pH, stable icon stays on LCD, press key to

calibrate the meter. LCD will display electrode slope of acidity range, then 2nd

point calibration is finished, the meter enters measurement mode of two-point calibration. Calibration guide

icons will display at the bottom left of LCD.

4.3.3. Third point calibration

Press key to enter the calibration mode, “CAL 3” flashes at the top right of LCD indicating to make the

3rd point calibration. Rinse pH electrode in distilled or deionized water, allow it to dry, and submerge it in

pH10.01 buffer solution. Stir the solution briefly and allow it to stay in the buffer solution until a stable

reading is reached. The meter’s display will show scanning and locking process of calibration buffer solution

at the bottom right of LCD. When the meter locks 10.01pH, stable icon stays on LCD, press the

key to calibrate the meter. LCD will display electrode slope of alkalinity range, then 3rd point calibration is

finished, the meter enters in measurement mode of three-point calibration.

Calibration guide icons will display at the bottom left of LCD.

Notes:

(a) The meter can perform 1-3 points calibration. When the 1st point calibration is done, the meter will enter

measurement mode of one-point calibration. Two-point and three-point calibration are in the same manner.

(b) During the calibration process, if measuring value is not stable yet (when does not stay on and the

key is pressed, then Er 2 will display. (See chart – 5). To s o l v e t h e problem, s i m p l y wait for to

stay on the screen before pressing

4.4 Sample Test

4.4.1. Rinse pH electrode in distilled or deionized water, allow it to dry, and submerge it in tested solution.

Stir the solution briefly and allow it to stay in the tested solution until icon stays on LCD and a stable

reading is reached, which is the pH value of test solution.

Diagram – 7 Calibration and measurement process of pH meter

4.4.2. Self-diagnosis information

During the process of calibration and measurement, the meter has self-diagnosis functions, indicating the

relative information as below, please refer to chart – 5.
