Torolàlana miasa
This section details how to take measurements and switch between different display modes.
1. Fandrefesana
- Ensure the device is powered on and probes are connected.
- Immerse both the pH electrode and the EC/CF/TDS/Temperature probe into the water sample you wish to test. Ensure the electrodes are fully submerged but do not immerse the entire probe body or cable connections.
- Allow a few moments for the readings to stabilize on the display screens.
- Read the pH, Temperature, and EC/CF/TDS values directly from the respective LCD screens.
2. Switching EC/CF/TDS Modes
Famaritana sary: This image illustrates the process of switching between EC, CF, and TDS measurement modes. It shows the main unit with a finger pressing the 'MODE' key. The display cycles through EC (e.g., 1.58), CF (e.g., 0.00), and TDS (e.g., 1000) readings, indicating that pressing the 'MODE' button changes the displayed parameter in the rightmost screen.
- Tsindrio ny MODE key located on the right side of the main unit.
- Each press will cycle the rightmost display between EC (Electrical Conductivity), CF (Conductivity Factor), and TDS (Total Dissolved Solids) readings.
3. Switching Temperature Units (°C/°F)
Famaritana sary: This image demonstrates how to change the temperature unit. It shows the main unit with a finger pressing the '°C/°F' key. The temperature display changes from Celsius (e.g., 30.6°C) to Fahrenheit (e.g., 83.0°F), indicating the unit conversion.
- Tsindrio ny ° C / ° F key located below the temperature display.
- Each press will toggle the temperature display between Celsius (°C) and Fahrenheit (°F).
calibration
Regular calibration ensures the accuracy of your water quality tester. It is recommended to calibrate the device upon first use and periodically thereafter, or if readings appear inconsistent.
1. pH Calibration
The pH meter typically requires a two-point or three-point calibration using standard buffer solutions (e.g., pH 6.86, pH 4.01, pH 9.18).
- Prepare the pH buffer solutions (e.g., pH 6.86 and pH 4.01 or pH 9.18).
- Rinse the pH electrode with distilled water and blot dry.
- Immerse the pH electrode into the pH 6.86 buffer solution.
- Locate the pH7 calibrate adjustment knob on the main unit. Use a small screwdriver to carefully turn the knob until the pH display reads 6.86.
- Rinse the electrode again with distilled water.
- Immerse the pH electrode into the second buffer solution (e.g., pH 4.01).
- Adjust the pH4.01/pH9.18 calibration screw (if available, or follow specific instructions for your model's second point calibration) until the display matches the buffer solution value. Note: Some models may have a single pH calibration knob for pH7 and then rely on internal circuitry for the second point. Refer to specific product documentation if available.
- Rinse the electrode and it is now calibrated.
2. EC/CF/TDS Calibration
EC/CF/TDS calibration typically uses a standard conductivity solution (e.g., 1413 µS/cm).
- Prepare a standard EC calibration solution (e.g., 1413 µS/cm).
- Rinse the EC/CF/TDS/Temperature probe with distilled water and blot dry.
- Immerse the EC/CF/TDS/Temperature probe into the calibration solution.
- Tsindrio ny kal button (if present) or locate the EC/CF/TDS calibration adjustment screw.
- Adjust the calibration screw until the display matches the value of the calibration solution.
- Rinse the probe and it is now calibrated.
Zava-dehibe: Always use fresh calibration solutions. Do not reuse solutions as their values can change over time due to contamination or evaporation.
fikarakarana
Proper maintenance extends the life and accuracy of your water quality tester.
- Electrode fanadiovana: After each use, rinse both electrodes thoroughly with distilled or deionized water to prevent contamination and buildup.
- fitahirizana: Always replace the protective caps on the electrodes when not in use. The pH electrode cap should contain a small amount of storage solution (or pH 4 buffer) to keep the glass bulb hydrated. Do not store pH electrodes dry.
- Fikarakarana fikarohana: Handle probes gently. Avoid dropping or subjecting them to physical shock.
- Vondrona lehibe: Keep the main unit clean and dry. Avoid exposure to direct sunlight, extreme temperatures, or corrosive environments.
- Hery: Disconnect the power adapter when the device is not in continuous use for extended periods.
