1. BATTERY REPLACEMENT To replace the battery detach the battery connector Pull on the vinyl strap to remove the battery Replace with fresh zinc carbon or alkaline 9 volt battery Reinsert the vinyl strap to secure battery CELL CUP Self conditioning of the built in electrodes occurs each time the button is pressed with a sample in the cell cup This ensures consistent results each time With some samples a small downward swing of the pointer is a result of this conditioning action This action is powerful and removes normal films of oil and dirt However if very dirty samples particularly scaling types are allowed to dry in the cell cup a film will build up This film reduces accuracy When there are visible films of oil dirt or scale in the cell cup or on the electrodes scrub them lightly with a small brush and household cleanser Rinse out the cleanser and the meter is ready for accurate measurements pH SENSOR The unique pH electrode in your pDS meter is a non refillable combination type which features a porous Teflon liquid junction covered by U S Patent No 4128468 It should not be allowed to dry out see pH MEASUREMENT If it does the sensor can sometimes be renewed by soaking in a saturated potassium chloride KCI solution for several days Drifting can be caused by a film on the sensor bulb Use a liquid cleaner such as Windex or Fantastic to clean it The sensor bulb is very thin and delicate Excessive pre
