• The measured temperature is shown on the upper display.
• Immerse the temperature probe in a bath at 0.0°C.
• Press CAL. CAL and BUF will appear on the display with the
"
" symbol blinking. The upper part of the display shows the
calibration point (0.0 °C).
• When CON appears on the display it means that the value has
been recognized and the reading is stable. Press CFM to confirm.
Nota: If the reading of the instrument is too far from the expected
value (in this case 0.0°C), the "
"
symbol starts blinking to advise of an
error. In this case verify if the tem-
perature of the bath is correct (for best
results, use a stirrer to agitate a solu-
tion of ice and water), and if the probe is functioning properly.
• Press CAL and then press BUF to visualize the second calibration
point (50.0 °C).
• Immerse the temperature probe in a bath at 50.0°C.
• When CON appears it means that the value has been recognized
and the reading is stable. Press CFM to confirm.
• Switch the meter off and back on again to return to normal
measurement mode.

PREPARATION
The FC 301B fluoride electrode is sent dry to prolong
its life. The HI 5313 reference electrode instead should
be maintained wet with storage solution in the protec-
tive cap.
Remove the protective cap from the HI 5313 reference
electrode.
Presence of any salt deposits around the bottom of the
electrode is normal and they will wash away if rinsed
with deionized water.
If the junction of the HI 5313 reference electrode is
dry, soak the tip in a solution of HI 7082 or HI 8082
for at least one hour prior to operation.
If the bulb of the FC 301B single fluoride electrode is dry, soak the tip
in a solution of HI 70702 (10 ppm of F

STORAGE
The FC 301B fluoride electrode must be stored dry to prolong its life.
After use, rinse it with deionized water, dry it attentively with a non-
abrasive cloth and store it dry.
The HI 5313 reference electrode on the other hand should be kept wet
for a rapid response. After use, rinse the electrode with deionized
water, fill the protective cap with a few drops of the HI 7082 or
HI 8082 solution and replace the cap on the electrode.
PERIODIC MAINTENANCE
Periodically check the electrodes and cables. The cables should be
intact and show no sign of wear and tear. The electrode bulb and stem
should present no cracks (in which case it, must be replaced). The
connectors must be clean and dry. Rinse the reference electrode with
deionized water to wash away any salt deposits that there might be.
REFERENCE ELECTRODE CLEANING
General: Immerse the tip of the reference electrode in the
HI 7061 or HI 8061 General Cleaning Solution for
about one hour.
Protein: Immerse the tip of the reference electrode in the
