9. Stir the probe gently to create a uniform
sample. Wait about 15 minutes for the
reading to stabilize.
10. The unit of measure
will ash on the LCD to
indicate that the pen is in
Measurement Mode. When
the reading is stable, the
unit of measure will stop
ashing.
Hold Function
1. Press HLD to freeze the
current readings on the
display. “Hold” will appear
on the LCD.
2. Press HLD again to release
the hold function.
Set the temperature coefficient to
the right value. The meter is factory
set to 2.1% per °C and this normally
can provide good results. See page
9 to set the temperature coefficient
if needed.
Select the normalization temperature.
The meter is factory set to 25 °C. If
you need to normalize the meter to
20 °C, see page 9
Rinse the probe with deionized or
distilled water before use to remove
any impurities adhering to the
electrode. If the meter is not
used for a long time, please soak the
probe more than 30 minutes to clear
up the lazy effect of probe.
Dip the probe into the sample. Make
sure ther
e are no air bubbles trapped
in the slot of the probe. To remove
air bubbles, give the probe a gentle
stir. Making sure the electrode tip
is submerged when you stir it.
Stir the probe gently in the sample
to create a homogenous sample.
Allow a few seconds to reach temp.
