4.4.3. pH temperature principle 

Please note that the closer the temperature of the sample solution to the calibration solution, the more 

accurate the readings.   

 

4.4.4. Factory default setting 

For factory default setting, please refer to parameter setting P1.4 (Item 7.3). All calibration data is deleted 

and the meter restores to the theory value (zero electric potential of pH is 7.00, the slope is 100%). Some 

functions restore to the original value (refer to appendix -1). When calibration or measurement fails, please 

restore the meter to factory default setting and then perform re-calibration or measurement. Please note 

once set the factory default, all the data deleted will be irretrievable. 
 

4.5  pH Electrode Maintenance 

4.5.1. Daily maintenance 

The soaking solution contained in the supplied protective bottle is used to maintain activation in the glass 

bulb and junction. Loosen the capsule, remove the electrode and rinse in distilled or deionized water before 

taking a measurement. Insert the electrode and tighten the capsule after measurements to prevent the 

solution from leaking. If the soaking solution is turbid or moldy, replace the solution. The soaking/storage 

solution is 3M KCL (SKU: AI1107). Using other brand’s storage solution might cause potential damage to 

the electrode.   

 

The electrode should not be stored in distilled or deionized water, protein solution or acid fluoride solution. 

In addition, do not soak the electrode in organic silicon lipids. For best accuracy, always keep the meter 

clean and dry, especially the meter’s electrode socket. Clean with medical cotton and alcohol if necessary. 
 
4.5.2. Calibration buffer solution 

For calibration accuracy, the pH of the standard buffer solution must be reliable. The buffer solution should 

be refreshed often, especially after heavy use. 
 
4.5.3. Protect glass bulb   
The sensitive glass bulb at the front of the combination electrode should not come in contact with hard 

surfaces.  Scratches  or  cracks  on  the  electrode  will  cause  inaccurate  readings.  Before  and  after  each 

measurement, the electrode should be washed with distilled or deionized water and dried. Do not clean the 

glass bulb with a tissue for it will affect the stability of the electrode potential and increase the response 

time. The electrode should be thoroughly cleaned if a sample sticks to the electrode. Use a solvent if the 

solution does not appear clean after washing. 
 
4.5.4. Renew glass bulb 
Electrodes that have been used over a long period of time will become aged. Submerge the electrode in 

0.1mol/L  hydrofluoric  acid  for  24  hours,  then  wash  the  electrode  in  distilled  or  deionized  water,  then 

submerge it in soaking solution for 24 hours. The method to prepare 0.1mol/L hydrofluoric acid dilute 9mL 

hydrochloric acid in distilled or deionized water to 1000mL. For serious passivation, submerge the bulb in
