4.4 Sample Test
4.4.1. Rinse pH electrode in pure water, allow it to dry, and submerge it in tested solution. Stir the solution
briefly and allow it to stay in the tested solution until icon appears on LCD and a stable reading is
reached, which is the pH value of tested solution.

4.4.2. Self-diagnosis information
During the process of calibration and measurement, the meter has self-diagnosis functions, indicating the
relative information as below, please refer to chart – 5.
Chart – 5 Self-diagnosis information of pH measurement mode
Wrong pH buffer solution or the
recognition of calibration solution out of
range.
1. Check whether pH buffer solution is correct.
2. Check whether the meter connects the
electrode well.
3. Check whether the electrode is damaged.
Press key when measuring value is
not stable during calibration.
Press key after icon appears.
During calibration, the measuring value
is not stable for ≥3min.
1. Check whether there are bubbles in glass bulb.
2. Replace with new pH electrode.
pH electrode performance error
zero potential <-60mV or >60mV,
slope <75%
1. Check whether there are bubbles in glass bulb.
2. Check whether pH buffer solution is correct.
3. Replace with new pH electrode.
