    5.4 pH Measurement

    5.4.1 Calibration Preparation
    - The electrode slope and zero potential of pH electrodes drift slightly over time. To accurately measure pH, it is recommended to calibrate the pH electrode before use, the instrument supports 1-5 points calibration.
    - One point calibration is a calibration process with a single standard solution, commonly applied in a quick test. The calibration slope is 100% in here.
    - Two-point calibration is to use two pH standard buffer solutions to calibrate the electrode, and construct a linear calibration curve through two points. Two-point calibration is the most commonly used calibration method, and it is usually recommended that the pH value of the solution to be measured lies between the two standard buffer solutions. Two-point calibration can improve pH measurement accuracy.
    - Multi-point calibration is a calibration process with more than one standard solution. It is recommended to calibrate between two standard buffer solutions at the pH of the solution to be tested. Multi-point calibration covers a wider measurement range for accurate pH measurement. Before starting calibration, please prepare one or more pH standard buffer solutions.
    5.4.2 Standards group selection
    Before starting calibration, please prepare one or more pH standard buffer solutions. The meter has standards recognition function. Please set the Standard Group before the measurement.
    You can also set the identification type to "Manual Mode" and manually enter the nominal value during the calibration process.
    5.4.3 pH Calibration
    Go to pH electrode calibration by "pH Calibration". Connect the ATC probe or enter the reference temperature manually.


    Figure 5-7 pH electrode calibration information
    The calibration process is as follows:
    1. Select a method. The method includes the parameter (e.g. pH), NIST standard solution group, pH 4.01, pH 7.00 and pH 10.01, auto Mode recognition.
    2. Connect the ATC probe or enter the temperature manually.
    3. Press the "Calibrate"-"pH Calibration".
    4. Put the cleaned electrode into pH 4.01 standard solution.
    5. Wait for the instrument to display "Auto Mode Matched".
    6. When the pH and temperature reading are stable, press the "Start".
    7. If only 1-point calibration is required, after 1-point calibration is completed, press the “ " key to complete the calibration.
    8. If multi-point calibration is required, please replace the pH7.00 and pH10.01 standard buffer solutions. After cleaning the electrode, put the electrode into the standard solution. After the instrument recognizes it successfully, the instrument reads stably, press the "Next Point" to complete the calibration.
    9. After completing the calibration, press the " " key to complete the calibration, save the calibration results and end the calibration, directly enter the start interface. If the checked standard solution group is 8, automatically end the calibration after eight points of calibration.
    5.4.4 pH Measurement
    The measurement process is as follows:
    1. Select a method. The method includes the parameter (e.g., pH), reading mode (e.g., continuous reading, auto-reading, or timed format).

    3. Rinse the pH electrode with DI water, dry out.
    4. Put the electrode into test solution under test.
    5. Put the measurement end of the electrode into the sample solution.
    6. In the measurement status, press "" to enter into measurement status.

    5.5 ORP Measurements

    5.5.1 Calibration Preparation
    In general, ORP electrodes need few calibrations. When the electrode is used for the first time or has not been used for a long time, a calibration is needed.
    The instrument supports ORP 1-point calibration, the electrode can be calibrated using the ORP calibration solution. The instrument automatically calculates the offset and compensates for the measurement.
    Before the calibration, prepare the ORP calibration standard solution.
    5.5.2 ORP Calibration

    The user can press "Delete" into the delete menu. It allows users to select the parameter data or all data to delete.
    The user can view the data filter by storage number, time, operator, method name, sample ID and electrode ID. By the filter setting, press "Start" to look up the data. The filter data shows in a graph. Press "<<" and">>" to choose data. User can choose one and press "Detail" to see the detail result. User can choose one and press "Output" to output the current result, output matched result and output all result. Users can press "Operate" to the setting menu. In the operation menu, it allows to select the output type.
    5.7.2 Statistic
    The meter supports the statistical analysis function. By pressing "Statistic", the meter calculates basic statistical results, including maximum, minimum, average, standard deviation, relative standard deviation, and related statistical information of the results.

    6 Maintenance/Troubleshooting

    6.1 Meter Maintenance

    The correct use and maintenance of the instrument can ensure the accurate and reliable performance of the instrument. Additionally, exposure to chemicals or harsh use environments can affect performance.
    The pH electrode socket has a protective plug, when the meter is not in use, please insert the protective plug into the pH socket.
    - If the meter is not used for a long time, please disconnect the power supply.
    - The electrode socket of the instrument must be kept clean and dry, and should not be in contact with acid, alkali, and salt solutions.
    - Keep the meter and accessories clean and away from acids, alkalis, and any corrosive solutions/gases.
    - Users can clean the meter surface with clean waters and detergent.
    - When the meter is transported, please follow the instructions:
    please remove all connected cables. Please remove the electrode holder.
    Please use original packaging in the long-distance transport to avoid damage.

    6.2 Electrodes Maintenance

    For more detailed information, please refer to the electrode instruction manual.

    6.3 Battery Maintenance

    ● The instrument uses a built-in lithium battery. The battery takes 6 hours to fully charge. Follow the below instruction to maintain battery:
    - When the meter is turned on and not charged, the power light flashes four times when the power flashes once when the power is 25% and is 100%.
    - When the meter switches off, the power light keeps the lighting for a full charge.
    - Precautions for the use of lithium batteries:

    - Keep the meter away from the high-temperature environment.
    - Keep away from water.
    - Keep away from flammable and explosive substances.
    - Please charge for 15 minutes if not in use for a long time.
    - Please stop charging in time after fully charged.
    - Continuous charging may result in decreased battery life.
    - Please charge and discharge it every 3 months to extend the life of the lithium battery.

    6.4 Troubleshooting

    PhenomenonProbable reasonsSolutions
    1. No DisplayDamage to the meter.Replace or repair as required.
    2. Incorrect mV measurement is1. The electrode is out of service life.
    2. The electrode plug is in poor contact.
    1. Replace the electrodes.
    2. Connect the protection plug, if the potential is not 0mV, please contact the after-sales service.
    3. Incorrect pH measurement1. Refer to as 2.2.
    2. Refer to as 2.2.
    3. The electrodes are not calibrated or are calibrated incorrectly.
    1. Refer to as 2.2.
    2. Refer to as 2.2.
    3. Recalibrate the electrode or replace the standard solution.

    If the meter still does not work, please contact your local dealer for further assistance.
