1.2. KEYPAD
KEY DESCRIPTION
Press to turn the meter ON. The meter will default to
the last measurement mode used.
When ON, press this key to turn the backlight ON or
on/off/ ☼ OFF (to conserve batteries, the backlight is
automatically turned off after 30 seconds).
When ON, press and hold this key for 3 seconds to
turn the meter OFF.
Press this key to toggle between pH, mV, Relative
mode mV (R.mV) and Ion (AP125 only) measurement
modes.
Press this key to enter Setup menu. Press again to
scroll through the Setup options.
setup/meas
Measure key also serves to refresh value when
Auto-Hold is active.
Press this key to activate and confirm the
standardization. Also to confirm selection or change
std/enter being made in Setup mode.
Press this key to store measured data into memory
(up to 200 data sets). Also to increase value or
save/▲
make selection in the Setup mode e.g. for date and
time setting scroll up selection.
Press this key to recall and select memory location
of stored data. Also to decrease value or make
view/▼
selection in the Setup mode e.g. for date and time
setting scroll down selection.

1. Condition your electrode by soaking as needed in
electrode storage solution, pH 4 or 7 buffer, or KCl
solution. Complete hydration can take anywhere
from minutes to overnight for very dry electrodes.

3. When the meter senses that the displayed value is
stable, STABLE will appear under the displayed
value. Record the reading at this time. This value
is the millivolt reading relative to the applied offset.

standard solution selected in Step (3) adding ISA
as needed. Provide moderate stirring if possible.

12. ERROR MESSAGES
ERROR DESCRIPTION
Low battery indicator “LobAt” will show on the
LCD before the meter goes off. This indicates
that battery power is low and that the batteries
need to be replaced.
Or “Over-range” when reading >20 pH, >2000 mV,
or >99900 Ion
Ur “Under-range” when reading <-2 pH or <-2000
mV
CAL Calibration error appears if reading is not within
Error the allowable pH buffer calibration range.
SLOPE Appears if the electrode slope is not within the
Error acceptable range.
