pHep® Pocket-sized pH Meter OPERATION: · Do not be alarmed if white crystals appear around the cap. This is normal with pH electrodes and they dissolve if rinsed with water. pH · Remove the protective cap and turn the pHep® on. · Immerse it in the sample up to the maximum immersion level. · Stir gently and wait until the display stabilizes. · After use, rinse the electrode with water to minimize contamination. · Store the electrode with a few drops of storage (HI 70300) or pH7 (HI 7007) solution in the protective cap. · Always replace the protective cap after use. DONOTUSEDISTILLEDORDEIONIZED WATERFORSTORAGEPURPOSES. · Large differences in pH readings (±0.5 pH) could be due to lack of calibration, dry electrode or rundown batteries. CALIBRATION: The calibration procedure is simple. · Immerse the tester up to the maximum level in pH 7 buffer (HI 7007). pH pH HI 7007 300 HI 70 · Allow the reading to stabilize and using a small screwdriver turn the pH 7 Calibration Trimmer to read 7.0. Calibration is now complete. ALWAYS USE FRESH BUFFERS FOR CALIBRATION & NEVER REUSE THEM. BATTERY REPLACEMENT: When the pHep® cannot be switched on or the display fades, pull out the battery compartment and replace all three 1.5V batteries, paying attention to their polarity. Batteries should only be replaced in a non-hazardous area using the battery types specified in this instruction manual. + BATTERIES - RECOMMENDATIONS FOR USERS: Before using this product, make sure that it is entirely suitable for the environment in which it is used. Operation of this instrument in residential areas could cause unacceptable interferences to radio and TV equipment. The glass bulb at the end of the pH electrode is sensitive to electrostatic discharges. Avoid touching this glass bulb at all times. During operation of instrument, ESD wrist straps should be worn to avoid possible damage to the pH electrode by electrostatic discharges. Any variation introduced by the user to the supplied equipment may degrade the instrument's EMC performance. To avoid electrical shock, do not use this instrument when voltages at the measurement surface exceed 24 VAC or 60 VDC. To avoid damages or burns, do not perform any measurement in microwave ovens. pHep® Pocket-sized pH Meter SPECIFICATIONS: RANGE 0.0 to 14.0 pH RESOLUTION 0.1 pH ACCURACY ±0.1 pH (@20°C/68°F) TYPICAL EMC DEV. ±0.2 pH ENVIRONMENT 0 to 50°C (32 to 122°F); RH 95% non-condensing BATTERIES 3 x 1.5V alkaline LIFE approx.700 hours of use DIMENSIONS 150x30x24 mm (5.9x1.2x0.9") WEIGHT 85 g (3 oz.)
