4.4 Stable reading display mode

When the measuring value is stable, smiley face icon appears on LCD, see

Figure-3. Please do not get the reading value or make calibration until the

icon appears and stays.

4.5 Data storage, recall, and deletion

Storage

When the measurement is stable, press key, the meter displays

M+ icon and storage numberings on LCD, and stores the measuring data.

In Figure-4, the meter stores the first group of the measuring data. Press

again, to keep storing.

Recall stored data

In the measurement mode, long press key to recall the last stored

Measuring data. The meter displays RM icon and storage numberings.

In Figure-5, the meter is recalling the 28th stored measuring data.

Keep pressing and to recall the stored

measuring data successively. Press and hold and to quickly recall the stored

measuring data. Short press to go back to measurement mode.

Clear stored data

The meter can store 50 groups of data. Once the storage is full, if user

presses again, the FUL icon will be displayed on LCD (see Figure-6).

The storage needs to be cleared in parameter setting P4 so as to keep storing

data. The numberings in M+ indicates the total number of stored data; The

numberings in RM indicates the number of stored data in current mode (ph/mV).

For example, if 20 groups of data are stored in pH mode, and 10 groups in mV

mode, then the numberings for M+ will be “M+30” in both pH and mV mode;

the numberings for RM in pH mode would be “RM20”, in mV mode “RM10”.

4.6 Max/Min Function

Use this function to display the maximum or minimum records out of groups of measuring data. In

measurement mode, press , LCD will display flashing icons of “MAX/MIN”, indicating the meter has

entered the mode of recording maximum and minimum data. After testing, press again, LCD will

alternately display the maximum and minimum value in the past measurements. Press to go back to

regular measurement mode.

5 pH Measurement

5.1 Preparation

Install the electrode holder

The electrode holder is composed of a metal stand base, a supporting pole, and an electrode clip. First, install

the metal stand base to the meter (screw it on). Please note that the metal base can be installed on either side

of the meter. Then install the supporting bar on the metal stand base, and then install the electrode clip on the

supporting bar.

Connect the power adapter

Plug the power adapter tightly into the DC9V socket. The power’s voltage should meet the requirements listed

on the power adapter.

Things needed in addition to what’s included in the box

A clean cup, distilled water (8-16oz), and tissue papers for rinsing and drying the probe.

5.2 pH Electrode Information

pH Electrode

The meter comes with the 35419-31, 3-in-1 combination electrode with a built-in temperature sensor, which

enables the automatic temperature compensation. This electrode is suitable for regular water solutions’ pH

testing. Please refer to Section 7 for ideal pH electrodes to use for other specific applications. The electrode’s

housing adopts polycarbonate materials, which is resistant to shocks and corrosion. A 3M KCL storage bottle

comes with the electrode, which is for storing the electrode when not in use to keep the sensitivity of the probe.

Technical Specifications of the 201T-F pH Electrode

Measurement Range: 0 - 14 pH, 0 - 80˚C (32 – 176˚F)

Junction: Single Ceramic

Reference Electrode: Ag/AgCl

Connector: BNC

Size: ø12*160 mm

Temperature unit: 30K Thermistor

Electrode Connectors

The pH electrode has two connectors: the BNC connector connects the pH probe; the RCA connector connects

the temperature sensor. Plug these two connectors into ‘pH/mV” and “TEMP” sockets. Please note not to pull

the cables in case of poor contact. Please keep the connectors clean and dry. Refer to section 4.7 regarding

how to properly maintain the pH electrode.

Use the Electrode

Screw off the KCL storage bottle, and put it aside (do not dump or spill the KCL solution). Prepare a cup of

distilled water, and rinse the electrode in it for a few seconds. Gently shake the probe to remove excess water,

and dry it with clean tissue paper (DO NOT rub or wipe the probe, just use paper to dap off excess water).

Gently stir the electrode for a few seconds after it’s dipped into the test solution and then let it stand still. Wait

for the stable measurement (a smiley face appears and stays) and then record the readings. When test is

finished, place the electrode in the storage bottle and tighten the cap in order to keep the sensitivity of the pH

sensor.

5.3 Information regarding Calibration

pH buffer solutions

The meter has 2 series of standard buffer solutions: USA and NIST (see Table-2). They can be selected

in parameter P1 (see 4.6.1).

3-Point Calibration

The meter can adopt 1 to 3 points of calibration. The 1st point must be using 7.00 pH (or 6.86 pH) buffer

solution, and then choose other buffers to do 2nd point and 3rd point. Please refer to Table-3 for details. In

the process of calibration, the slope of acidity range and alkalinity range will be displayed, which indicates

the health of your probe. The closer the slope is to 100%, the better the condition of the probe is.

How often to calibrate

The frequency that you need to calibrate your meter depends on the tested samples, condition of

electrodes, and the requirement of the accuracy. For High-Accuracy meaustements (≤ ±0.02pH), the

meter should be calibrated before test every time; For ordinary-accuracy measurements (≥±0.1pH), once

calibrated, the meter can be used for several days before recalibration. In the following cases, the meter

must be re-calibrated:

a) The electrode hasn’t been used for a long time or a new electrode is connected.

b) After measuring strong acid (pH<2) or strong base (pH>12) solutions.

c) After measuring fluoride-containing solution and strong organic solution

d) There is a significant difference between the temperature of the test sample and the temperature of

the buffer solution that is used in the last calibration.

5.4 pH Meter Calibration

1) Press to enter calibration mode. CAL1 icon will flash in the upper

right corner of the LCD. 7.00 pH will flash in the lower right corner of the

LCD, reminding you to use pH 7.00 buffer to conduct 1st point of

calibration.

2) Use distilled water to rinse off electrode and then dry it (with a tissue).

Dip it into pH 7.00 buffer solution, stir gently and let it stand still and wait

for the reading to become stable. In the lower right corner of LCD, the

process of auto recognizing the buffer solution will be displayed. Pressing

before the buffer is recognized will generate Er2 (please refer to

table 5).

3) When the meter locks 7.00 pH in the lower right corner, stable

icon displays on LCD. Then press key to calibrate the meter.

End icon appears after calibration is done.

The 1st point calibration is finished. In the meanwhile, CAL2 will flash at

the upper right corner, and 4.00 pH & 10.01 pH will flash alternately at the

bottom right, indicating using pH4.00 or pH10.01 buffer solution

to make the 2nd point calibration.

4) Take out the pH electrode, rinse it in distilled water, dry it, and dip

it into pH 4.00 buffer solution. Stir the solution gently and let stand still in

the buffer solution until a stable reading is reached. The meter’s display

will show the recognition process of calibration buffer solution at the lower

right corner. When the meter recognizes 4.00 pH, stable icon

displays on LCD. Press key to calibrate the meter. End icon and

electrode slope of acidity range will be displayed after calibration is done.

In the meanwhile, CL3 will flash at the upper right corner of the LCD, and

10.01 pH will flash at the lower right, indicating using pH10.01 buffer

solution to make the 3rd point calibration.

5) Take out pH electrode, rinse it in distilled water, dry it, and dip

it into pH 10.01 buffer solution. Stir the solution gently and let it stand still

in the

buffer solution until a stable reading is reached. The meter’s display will show

recognition process of calibration buffer solution at the bottom right of

LCD. When the meter recognizes 10.01 pH, stable icon displays on LCD. Press

key to calibrate the meter. End icon and electrode slope of alkalinity range

display after calibration is done. The meter returns to the measurement mode, the calibration icons L M

H will be displayed. Please see Figure-7 for the above calibration process.
