SX610 pH Pen Tester Kit User Manual
1. Brief Introduction
Thank you for purchasing APERA INSTRUMENTS SX610 pH Pen Tester. This product is featured with
reliable and accurate measuring performance with a single-button operation in a slim body, ideal for
measuring pH in general water solution applications such as hydroponics, greenhouse, aquaculture,
aquarium, water treatment, pools& spas, cooling towers, beverage making, education, environmental
monitoring, body fluid (e.g. urine, saliva). The pH probe is replaceable and suitable for test tube measuring
and other small-volume sample testing.
2. Specifications
1) Range: 0 to 14.0 pH; 32 to 140°F (0 to 60°C)
2) Resolution: 0.1 pH; 0.1°C
3) Accuracy: ± 0.1 pH ±1 digit; ±1°C
4) Automatic temperature compensation: 32 to 140°F (0 to 60°C)
5) Automatic calibration: 1-point calibration (pH 7.0)
6) Power: CR2032 Cell Batteries
7) Dimension and Weight: 148*29*14mm/49g
8) Waterproof rating: IP57
3. Instructions
1) Calibration: Rinse the probe in distilled water and shake off excess water. Immerse the probe in
the standard buffer solution pH7.00. Stir for a few seconds and wait for the reading to stabilize.
Then press the CAL button for about two seconds until CAL appears on the screen. When the
calibration value 7.0 flashes, the calibration will finish after several seconds, and the meter will
return to measurement mode and the icon will appear on the screen.
2) Measurement: Rinse the probe in distilled water and shake off excess water. Immerse the probe
in your sample solution. Stir the probe for a few seconds and wait for the reading to stabilize, then
record the measurement.
3) After measurement, rinse the probe with distilled water, shake off excess water, and put the
protection cap back on.
4) Storage: Always leave a bit 3M KCL storage solution in the probe cap when storing the meter as it
will optimize the performance and maximize the life of the pH probe.
5) Change temperature unit: When meter is turned off, hold the CAL button until the meter reboots
and then the temperature unit will be switched (˚C–˚F)
4. Notes
1) Calibrate the pH pen at least once a month.
2) To ensure the accuracy, make sure the pH standard buffer is fresh and clean. The small bottle of
