5.1.1 Short press to power on. Remove the storage
sleeve and rinse the electrode in distilled/
deionized water, then shake o the excess.
5.1.2 Submerge the electrode into your sample solution
at least 1 inch deep, make a quick stir and hold
still.
5.1.3 Record the reading as the pH measurement
when it is stabilized ( comes up and stays on
screen).
The meter is only as accurate as the electrode is clean. Always thoroughly rinse o
the electrode before and after each measurement with distilled water or deionized
water in a container or with a wash bottle.
To remove excessive water, just shake them o or blot dry with Kimwipe or lint-free
cloth. Neverrub the glass membrane of the electrode. Otherwise static electricity
will be generated and cause measurement error.
For tough contaminants staying on the glass membrane or junction, refer to the
