(1) Press the
MODE
key on the converter to enter the operation level and press the
YES
NO
key to select the <CELL> mode (cell motor ON / OFF). Press the
NO
key with respect to the
message “CELL ON” displayed to stop the rotation of the indicator electrode.
Whentheelectrodestopsrotating,theCELLlampextinguishes.
Remove the electrode mechanism block from the measuring tank and set up the block as shown
