Product Usage Instructions

Initial Setup

Before using the ST series pen meter for the first time, follow these steps:

  1. Open the battery compartment located at the top of the pen meter.
  2. Insert four 1.5V batteries into the compartment, following the polarity markings.
  3. Close the battery compartment securely.
  4. Remove the protective cap from the electrode.
  5. The pen meter is now ready for use.

Measurement Procedure

To measure pH, ORP, conductivity, TDS, or salinity, follow these steps:

  1. Turn on the pen meter by pressing the power button located on the front panel.
  2. Dip the electrode into the sample solution up to the immersion level mark.
  3. Wait for a stable reading to appear on the display.
  4. Record the measurement if necessary.
  5. Rinse the electrode with clean water and replace the protective cap after use.
  6. Turn off the pen meter by pressing and holding the power button for a few seconds.

Calibration

Calibrating the pen meter ensures accurate measurements. Follow these steps to calibrate:

  1. Prepare calibration solutions according to the desired range and type of measurement.
  2. Turn on the pen meter and dip the electrode into the calibration solution.
  3. Press the calibration button and select the appropriate calibration mode (pH, ORP, conductivity, TDS, or salinity).
  4. Follow the on-screen prompts to complete the calibration process.
  5. Rinse the electrode with clean water and replace the protective cap after calibration.
