USER MANUAL Waterproof pH Tester ECO pH INTRODUCTION The instrument is a waterproof pH and temperature tester The housing has been completely sealed against humidity All pH readings are automatically temperature compensated ATC and temperature values can be displayed in C or F units The meter can be calibrated at one or two points for pH with auto buffer recognition and against five memorized buffer values Measurements are highly accurate with a unique stability indicator right on the LCD The models are also provided with a low battery symbol which warns the user when the batteries need to be replaced The pH electrode supplied with the meter is interchangeable and can be easily replaced by the user The encapsulated temperature sensor allows fast and accurate temperature measurement and compensation Each meter is supplied complete with e pH electrode e 4x 1 5V batteries button type e User manual FRONT PANEL amp DISPLAY 1 Dual line LCD 2 ON OFF MODE button 3 pH electrode amp temperature sensor 4 Electrode body 5 Battery compartment inside 6 SET HOLD button 7 Clip holder pH1 7 KININ ooo 5 1 Stability indicator hourglass symbol 2 Low battery warning indicator 3 Calibration mode calibrated meter indication 4 ATC Automatic Temperature Compensation indicator 5 Secondary LCD level 6 Primary LCD level 7 Measurement unit for primary level TECHNICAL

5. nt Calibration e For a single point calibration with buffer pH 4 01 the meter automatically accepts the calibration when the reading is stable The accepted buffer is displayed together with the message OK 1 for one second then the meter automatically returns to the normal measuring mode e Ifa single point calibration with buffer pH 7 01 is desired then after the calibration point has been accepted press the ON OFF MODE button to return to normal mode The meter shows 7 01 and OK 1 for one second then it automatically returns to the normal mode Note For better accuracy it is recommended to perform a 2 point calibration Two Point Calibration e Fora two point calibration place the electrode in pH 7 01 buffer After the first calibration point has been accepted the pH 4 01 USE message appears The message is held for 12 seconds unless a valid buffer is recognized If no valid buffer is recognized then the WRNG message is shown If a valid buffer is detected then the meter completes the calibration procedure The LCD shows the accepted value with the OK 2 message and then the meter returns to the normal mode Note When the calibration procedure is completed the CAL tag is turned on To quit calibration amp reset to default values e After entering the calibration mode and before the first point is accepted you can quit the procedure and return to the last calibration data by pressin
