4.0 Measuring the pH value

Taking a pH reading

Press the power button to turn the pH meter on.

Remove the storage cap from the pH probe and place the pH probe into the solution.

Wait 1-2 minutes or longer for reading to stabilize to a constant value. The pH

reading is displayed.

If the solution you are measuring is outside the measurement range of the pH meter,

a ‘Ur’ (under range) or ‘Or’ (over range) will be displayed.

Store pH probe between measurements. See section 8.0.

NOTE: If taking readings of more than one solution, rinse the pH probe tip thoroughly

in fresh water between solutions to avoid cross contamination.
