The pH sampler settings can be adjusted without exiting the current file. Additionally, a correction
can be applied to each electrode’s pH shown on the screen. Occasionally, the pH readings shown
on the screen may differ from those expected in the field. If this is the case, the pH shown on the
screen can be adjusted up or down with the pH offset 1 and pH offset 2.
The offset is adjustable in 0.5 pH increments up to +/- 2.00 pH. NOTE: The instrument DOES
NOT apply this offset to the extracted file. Only the readings seen on the screen will be affected.
Sampling time is the duration that the sampler assembly is in the soil. Typically 2 seconds is
adequate. In soil conditions that do not produce a firm core, this time may need to be set at 3
seconds in order to allow soil to begin flowing through cutting shoe. If soil conditions result in a
very firm core, the sampling time may be reduced to 1 second. Press the up and down arrows to
adjust the sample time.
