5. MEASUREMENT
The READY indicator appears on the display when
the readings stabilize. It will turn off if the readings
start to fluctuate.
NOTE: Be sure to remove the protective rubber
cap of the electrode before measurement.
To take readings:
1. Rinse the probe with deionized or distilled
water before use to remove any impurities
adhering to the probe body. If the pH electrode
has dehydrated, soak it for 30 minutes in tap
water.
2. Switch on the meter. The MEAS annunciator
appears on the top center of the LCD. The
ATC indicator appears in the lower right hand
corner to indicate Automatic Temperature
Compensation. See Figure 21.
3. Dip the probe into the sample.
NOTE: When dipping the probe into the sample,
make sure the tip of the probe is completely
immersed. Stir the probe gently in the sample to
create a homogenous sample. Be sure to tap probe
to remove air bubbles. Air bubbles will cause errors
in the reading.
4. Allow time for the reading to stabilize. Note the
reading on the display. When the reading is
stable, the READY annunciator appears.
5. To toggle between pH and conductivity
readings, press the MODE key. See Figures
22 and 23.
NOTE: Conductivity readings are autoranging and will automatically move to the
correct range (four ranges possible).
