Chemical exposure hazard. Obey laboratory safety procedures and wear all of
the personal protective equipment appropriate to the chemicals that are handled.
Refer to the current material safety data sheets (MSDS) for safety protocols.
Setup for pH
The meter is ready for pH or ORP calibration without additional setup.
Setup for dissolved oxygen
Before calibration or measurement for dissolved oxygen, the probe must
be polarized and the settings for atmospheric pressure and salinity must
be entered.
Polarize the electrode
If the probe or batteries are disconnected, connect the probe or install
the batteries and wait for polarization:
