Care and Maintenance
General
1. The display freezes and will not change value.
• The meter is in Auto-Read mode. Press to start a new measurement,
or switch to continuous measurement in setup.
2. The Timed reading time entry screen doesn’t show up in setup.
• Measurement type is set to Auto-Read or Continuous mode in setup.
Change to Timed mode and the next screen will be the timed reading time
setting menu.
3. When I hit the Calibration key the display says “wAIt”.
• The meter is printing out and cannot enter calibration until printing is
complete. If the meter is at a default baud rate of 9600 then this should
rarely occur and not last more then a second before preceding to calibration.
If it’s set to a lower baud rate the delay could be several seconds.
4. The meter did not accept my setup changes. When I return to setup it still has
the old values.
• You either went back to the wrong setup or did not accept the value you
entered by pressing the line select key before pressing measure to return to
measurement mode.
5. How can I abort a calibration?
• Pressing and holding will abort any operation and return you to
measurement mode.
6. My printout is just a string of numbers and units with commas.
• The printout format in setup is set for computer output. Change this to
Printer output.
• The “SYSTEM” command was issued within 30 seconds of the printout.
7. When I press , the stirrer doesn’t work.
• Go into setup and select a stirrer speed. The current setting is probably OFF.
• The unit was running on batteries in a bench top unit.
