• Do not put the probe on the bottom or sides of the container.
• Make sure that the filling hole is open and above the sample solution level.
• Use a laboratory stirrer or shake the probe from side to side in the solution to refresh
the reference junction.
• The meter display shows "Stabilizing" and a progress bar as the probe stabilizes in
the sample. The display shows the lock icon when the measurement is stable.
• If a measurement error occurs, refer to Troubleshooting on page 12.
Measurement procedure:
1. Connect the probe
to the meter. Make
sure that the cable
locking nut is correctly
connected to the
meter. Set the meter
to on. 2. Condition the
probe in the sample. 3. Rinse the probe
with deionized water
and then with the
sample. Dry with a
no-lint cloth. 4. Put the probe in
the sample and stir
lightly. Make sure to
fully put the reference
junction into the
sample. 5. Push Read. Wait
until the reading
stabilizes.
6. Do steps 3–5
again to make more
measurements. 7. When
measurements are
done, put the probe in
storage (refer to
Storage
on page 11).
