pH bias correction
Bias correction can be done directly on the monitor if it shows a difference from other pH testing products while other pH testing results are accurate during comparative use.
Enter the setting interface by pressing the middle button, and click the left button to access the first option “pH-set”. Continue to click the middle button to the option “PH-Adj”, and then click the left button to confirm. Thus, the device will enter the third interface (4.01 calibration interface), and the compensation value is 0 by default.
The measured value represents the value displayed by the device in the test solution. You can directly press the left or right button“-/ +”to adjust it, and then press the middle button“OK” to save it. -
ORPbias correction
Enter the setting interface by pressing the middle button, and clicking the middle button to access the second option “ORP-set”. Continue to click the left button to enter the third interface “Adj Value”. You could now place the probe into the prepared ORP calibration solution, and shake it a few times to let the solution and the probe make full contact for 180 seconds. And it will show the measured value, which is the current monitor value. If it needs to be adjusted, press the left or right button “-/ +” to make adjustments, then press the middle button “OK” to save it.
Note: It is not recommended to calibrate if there are no special requirements. This value has been strictly calibrated before leaving the factory. It is easy to produce deviations during calibration due to the effect of water quality on this value. Please follow these requirements strictly if calibration is needed.
1: Utilize pure water
2: Dissolve the ORP calibration powder thoroughly in pure water, and let it stand for at least three hours before calibration. -

Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: Why haven't measurements changed after the product is powered on?
A1: It’s necessary to unscrew the clear protective cap of the probe before use.
Q2: Why are there some white marks on the probe when I received the product? Has this product been used before?
A2: Not at all. The white marks are from the probe protective solution, as we added a special protective solution to the probe part to protect it. The protective solution is saturated, volatile, and easy to crystallize. Once the solution has overflowed and volatilized, it appears as white crystals that can be used after washing.
Q 3: Is the monitor accurate and do I need to calibrate it after receiving the product?
A 3: Any instrument will have a slight error in long-term use, generally within the normal error range. We have carried out strict calibration before leaving the factory. However, it is not excluded that storage in the long-term turnover process leads to deviation of value, and it is recommended to calibrate before use. Our monitors are recommended to be calibrated every six months. There are detailed calibration steps in the instruction manual.
Q4: Does this AquariumMonitor need to be connected to the application?
A4: The 7-in-1 Aquarium Monitor does not need to be connected to the application. It can be used directly after a simple installation according to the user manual. It is ready for use once it has been installed and calibrated according to the instruction manual.
Q5: How should I proceed if the measurements do not change with different pH buffer solutions when calibrating?
A5: Please click “Reset” to restore factory settings and re-calibrate.
