Calibration Procedure
Calibration should be performed once a month. In order to calibrate,
a buffer solution is used. This solution is easily made using the buffer
packets provided with the original purchase. The buffer solution
insures the accuracy of the Safedip digital reader.
To create a buffer solution, follow these steps:
1.Empty entire contents of 1 buffer packet into a cup with 8 oz tap
water.
2.Stir the solution using a spoon for 20 seconds or until powder is
completely dissolved.
To calibrate, follow these steps:
1. Turn ON the Safedip.
2. Immerse the probes completely into the cup with buffer solution.
3. Gently swirl the probes to remove possible gas bubbles on the
probe tip.
4. With the probe in the solution, press and hold the CAL button for
more than 3 seconds and the 7.0 value will be displayed.
Release the button and the 7.0 value will blink. Press CAL button
again and the will then be displayed until calibration is
finished.
5. After the calibration is completed, the will be displayed along
with the calibration value of 7.0. While the 7.0 value is blinking,
press at anytime to abort.
Maintenance
Probe Care and Storage
1. Rinse the probe in distilled or tap water.
2. Store the Safedip with the probe sleeve over the
electrode. Always keep the sponge in the cap soaked with
tap water or pH 7 buffer solution.
3. Always rinse the probes in distilled or tap water between
measurements to avoid cross contamination. Double rinsing
is recommended when high accuracy is required.
4. Do not touch the probes. Touching the surface of the
probes may damage and reduce the life of the probes.
pH Probe Replacement
1. Unscrew and remove the pH probe collar. Twist collar
counter-clockwise.
2. Gently pull the probe away from the meter until it
disconnects from the probe socket.
3. To attach a new probe, align the slots and carefully twist
the probe clockwise into the meter socket.
4. Firmly tighten the probe collar to create a seal with the
rubber gasket between the probe and the meter.
Probe Cleaning Recommendations
Do not soak the probe in any cleaning solution. To do so may
cause a reference potential shift which will cause
degradation in performance. When cleaning the probe, use
tap water and be careful not to scratch or damage the glass
sensing surface.
Battery Replacement
1. Use a coin to twist off the battery compartment cap.
2. Replace the two AAA batteries. Observe polarity.
3. Replace the battery compartment cap and make sure it is
tightly secured to avoid water intrusion.
