Instruction Manual pH 5+, pH 6+, Ion 6+5Connecting Electrodes and Temperature SensorAlign the BNC connector slots with the posts of meter’s socket and rotate connectorclockwise until it locks—do not force. To remove, rotate the connector in counter-clockwise direction until it unlocks, and slide the connector off the socket. Insert the miniphono jack of temperature sensor into the socket on the meter. Unplug the phono jackto perform measurements without temperature compensation (25° C default).2.5 mm Phono plugfor temperaturemeasurementBNC connector ofpH, ORP, or IonSelective ElectrodePowering the Meter OnPress . All LCD segments will display momentarily during the self-diagnostic test,before scrolling the model number, software revision, pH buffer group, and number ofpH calibration points selected before returning to the measurement mode:If a temperature probe is not connected, either 25.0 oC (factory default) or the lastcalibrated temperature value is used. If a temperature probe is connected, the currentmeasured temperature is used.Note: The Ion 6+ will display “ - - - ” in Ion concentration mode if the meter has not beencalibrated or if the meter has been reset. See Section 3—Ion Calibration.“” (Over range) and “” (Under range) indicates the reading exceeds the maximumor minimum measurement range. See Section 6—Specifications. However, the mostlikely reason for these error messages is that the electrode is not connected or broken.
