Product Usage Instructions
Preparation
Before using the ST Series Pen Meter, make sure to:
- Insert the required batteries into the meter.
- Ensure that the electrode is properly connected and securely attached to the meter.
- Check if the electrode needs to be replaced or cleaned before use.
Powering On
To power on the ST Series Pen Meter, press the power button located on the
device. The meter will display the current measurement mode.
Selecting Measurement Mode
The ST Series Pen Meter allows you to select different measurement modes
such as pH, ORP, conductivity, TDS, and salinity. To select a specific mode,
use the mode selection button on the device. The selected mode will be
displayed on the screen.
Taking Measurements
To take measurements using the ST Series Pen Meter, follow these steps:
- Dip the electrode into the liquid sample you want to measure.
- Wait for a stable reading to appear on the screen.
- Record the measurement displayed on the screen.
- Rinse the electrode with clean water after each measurement to ensure accurate results.
Powering Off
To power off the ST Series Pen Meter, press and hold the power button until the device turns off.
FAQ
- Q: Can the electrode be replaced?
A: Yes, the electrode on the ST Series Pen Meter is replaceable.
After more than a century of perfecting the art of measurement through our durable weighing products, OHAUS precision is now available in a line of portable electrochemistry products that providesaccurate measurement of pH, ORP, conductivity, TDS and salinity. ST series pen meters are an economical option when you are simply looking for meters that are easy to use and provide accurate measurements. The pen meters should not be used by Children of age 12 or younger.
First Usage
Condition the ORP electrodes by immersing it in ORP electrode protection solution for 1 hour before using. If the ORP electrode protection cap is dry (may cause white crystals), add storage solution in the cap and soak the ORP electrode for 1 hour.
ORP Measurement
Remove the protection cap, rinse the ORP electrode glass bulb with pure water
(distilled water), and wipe clean. (Glass bulb is fragile, be careful, do not
scratch it.)
- Press button On/Off turn on the meter.
- Dip the electrode about 2 to 3cm into the test solution(at least 20ml). Stir and wait until the reading stabilized.
- Clean the electrode with pure water after measurement.
- When measurement, you can press the button-Hold to freeze the reading, press the button-Hold again to release the measurement again.
- Press and hold button On/Off to turn off the meter.
Check
You can check if the ORP electrode (ST10R/ST20R) is good, you can use the standard potential solution to check it.
- Test Pen Standard Potential (25℃)
- 86mV±15mV (add excess Quinhydrone Chinhydron in pH 7.00 buffer to have saturated solution.)
- 265mV±15mV（add excess Quinhydrone Chinhydron in pH 4.00 buffer to have saturated solution.)
- The difference between 7.00 and 4.01 should be ≥ 165mV
- If the check result is not good, should clean the ORP electrode then check again; or purchase a new one.
Maintenance
Clean the electrode after test and cover the protection cap, be sure storage
solution is not dry in the cap. Harsh samples may short the pen meter life
time, such as sticky, dirty or oily liquids. The meter use button battery 1.5V
(AA)*4 , replace all the batteries when the display fade or not turn on
.
The electrode is replaceable.
