pH Measurement Mode

Preparation for Measurement

1. Turn the meter ON using the power key

2. Connect the pH electrode to the meter and the pH mode will automaticaly be selected.

3. Unscrew the protective cap on the probe jack located on the bottom of the meter (store

the protective cap in the carrying case for later use)

4. Carefully connect the pH probe to the meter’s probe jack. The probe can only be

inserted in one orientation. Once it is firmly connected, screw the probe collar onto the

meter to secure the probe

3-Point Calibration (7.00pH, 4.00pH and 10.01pH)

1. Press the CAL key to enter the Calibration mode. The meter’s display will show a

blinking ‘C1’

2. Rinse the probe in distilled water, allow it to air dry, and submerge it into a pH 7.00

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

stable reading is reached

3. Press CAL again and the display will show a blinking ‘7.00’

4. This portion of the calibration procedure is complete when the display stops blinking

and shows the ‘C2’ icon. The unit will automatically switch to the second point of the

calibration

5. Rinse the probe in distilled water again, allow it to dry, and submerge it into a pH 4.00

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

stable reading is reached

6. Press CAL again and the display will show a blinking ‘4.00’

7. This portion of the calibration procedure is complete when the display stops blinking

and shows the ‘C3’ icon. The unit will automatically switch to the third point of the

calibration

8. Rinse the probe in distilled water again, allow it to dry, and submerge it into a pH 10.01

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

stable reading is reached

9. Press CAL again and the display will show a blinking ‘10.01’

10. After the display stabilizes the 3-point calibration icon will appear

1-Point and 2-Point Calibration

Note that the user can calibrate one or two points only, if the expected measurement is

known.

For example, if the expeced pH is 4pH, it is acceptable to perform only a 1-Point

Calibration (4pH). If the expected measurement is between 4.00pH and 7.00pH, the user

can perform a 2-Point Calibration (4.00 and 7.00pH), and so on.

For a 4pH calibration, only the circled Lwill appear on the LCD. For a 7.00pH, only the

circled Mwill appear on the LCD. For a 10.01pH Calibration, only the circled Hwill appear

(Low, Medium, and High).

Note: Use the ENTER key to exit the Calibration mode and return to the normal

measurement mode when performing 1 or 2 point calibrations.

For all other applications, a 3-Point Calibration is recommended. Always perform a 3-Point

Calibration on new probes and probes that have been in use for long periods. This

maximizes measurement slope linearity.

Testing the pH of a Sample

1. Perform the pH Calibratoin as described above

2. Rinse and dry the pH Probe and submerge it in a sample liquid

3. Stir the solution briefly with the probe and allow it to stand until the display stabilizes

4. Note that the closer the temperature of the sample solution to the calibration solution,

the more accurate readings

pH Measurement, Calibration, and Electrode Considerations

•Error messages ERR-1: Electrode zero potential error and ERR-2: Electrode slope

error; For either error, check the following:

1. Air bubbles in the electrode bulb. Shake rigorously to remove air bubbles

2. Accuracy of the pH buffers used in calibration. Replace buffers if necessary

3. Set meter to its factory default state in Parameter P7 (previous section of manual)

•Calibration intervals depend on the sample, the electrode performance, and the

required accuracy. For high accuracy measurements (≤±0.02pH), 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:

1. New probe, or probe that is unused for a long period of time

2. After measuring acids (pH<2) or alkaline solutions (pH>12)

3. After measuring a solution that contains fluoride or a concentrated organic solution

4. If the solution’s temperature differs widely from the calibration solution temperature

•The soaking solution contained in the supplied protective bottle is used to maintain

activation in the glass bulb and junction. Loosen the capsule, remove the electrode and

rinse in distilled water before taking a measurement. Insert the electrode and tighten

the capsule after measurements to prevent the solution from leaking. If the soak

solution is turbid or moldy, replace the solution.

•To prepare a soak solution: Use 25g pure KCL dissolved with purified water and diluted

to 100mL. The electrode should not be soaked in a purified water protein solution or an

acid fluoride solution for long periods of time. In addition, do not soak the electrode in

organic silicon lipids.

•For calibration accuracy, the pH of the standard buffer solution must be reliable. The

buffer solution should be refreshed often, especially after heavy use.

•For best accuracy, always keep the meter clean and dry, especially the meter’s

electrode and electrode jack. Clean with medical cotton and alcohol if necessary.

•The sensitive glass bulb at the front of the combination electrode should not come in

contact with hard surfaces. Scratches or cracks on the electrode will cause inaccurate

readings. Before and after each measurement, the electrode should be washed with

distilled water and air dried. Do not clean the glass bulb with a tissue for it will affect the

stability of the electrode potential and increase the response time. The electrode

should be thoroughly cleaned if a sample sticks to the electrode. Use a solvent if the

solution does not appear clean after washing.

•Electrodes that have been used over a long period of time, used in a strong solution

that has damaged the sensitive bulb, or used with a substance resulting in a jam at the

junction will be become passivated; the sensitivity will decrease, its response will slow,

and the readings will be inaccurate. Replace the electrode as soon as possible in these

cases.

•For abnormal readings, try calibrating again; if the problem persists replace the

Electrode. The user can also try resetting the meter to factory default conditions per

Parameter P7 (detailed in an earlier section). Electrode life can be shortened by heavy

use, extreme conditions, and improper maintenance.
