TROUBLESHOOTING

Meter does not turn on:

1. Press POWER for more than 2 seconds.

2. Check connections of the power adapter or batteries.

Unstable readings:

1. Stir the solution to make a uniform sample and make

sure the sensor is completely immersed in the solution.
The measurement must be done while probe is in the
container/solution.

2. Move to new location for measurement, RF emissions

from unknown source may disrupt readings.

Readings not changing:

1. Check to see if meter is in “HOLD” mode.

2. Release “HOLD” function.

3. Check to see if meter is in “MTC,” if so, input

temperature value.

Slow response:

1. Clean and re-calibrate the probe. Replace with a new

probe.

Wrong real time:

Incorrect real time display will not affect the measurements.
Internal batteries (separate from internal batteries that pow-
er the meter) need replacing. Contact distributor for
replacement documentation.
