Display Icon
Description
Calibration Warning – Indicates that the electrode is calibrated. If the icon is flashing,
it indicates that the electrode needs to be calibrated. Calibrate the electrode at least
every twelve hours to prevent the icon from flashing.
Electrode Condition – Represents the performance of the electrode, based on the
last saved calibration and electrode measurement stability. If the
electrode icon has
two lines, the electrode condition is good. If the electrode icon has one line, the
electrode condition is fair. If the electrode icon has a slash through it, the electrode
condition is bad. Refer to the
Troubleshooting Guide
section for more information.
Method Number – Shows the method that is currently being used on that channel. To
change the method number, refer to the
Methods
section.
Auto-Read (AR) Read Type Indicator – If Auto-Read was selected as the read type,
the
AR icon will appear when the reading is stable and the display has been locked.
To change the read type, refer to the
Setup Menu
section.
Stabilizing/Ready Read Type Indicator – Specifies the measurement stability of the
electrode. To change the read type, refer to the
Setup Menu
section.
Measurement Mode – Indicates the unit of measurement for the measurement value
and determines the type of calibration that will be performed. To
change the
measurement mode, refer to the
Setup Menu
section. If the ISE measurement mode
is changed, the electrode must be re-calibrated with new standards that have the
same measurement unit as the measurement mode.
Temperature Measurement – Displays the current temperature based on the
selected ATC probe reading or entered temperature value. To change the
temperature display to Celsius or Fahrenheit, refer to the
Setup Menu
section.
Temperature Source – Shows the origin of the current temperature measurement. To
change the source of the temperature measurement, refer to the
Setup Menu
section.
mV Measurement – Shows the raw millivolt reading of the electrode.
Printer Interface – Indicates if a printer is interfaced with the meter.
Computer Interface – Indicates if a computer is interfaced with the meter. The USB
icon will only be shown when the meter is connected to a computer via USB input.
Timed Interval Read Type Indicator – Indicates when a timed reading is being taken
by the meter. To change the read type, refer to the
Setup Menu
section.
Autosampler Interface – Indicates if the meter is running the autosampler.
Time and Date (Single Channel Display Only) – Displays the current time and date
settings. To change the time and date, refer to the
Setup Menu
section.
Sample ID (Single Channel Display Only) – Shows the operator assigned sample ID
number. To change the sample ID number, refer to the
Setup Menu
section.

Meter Setup
EZ Startup Menu
It is highly recommended that the EZ Startup menu be completed the first time that the meter is
used. The EZ Startup menu sets important meter parameters, such as the displayed language,
date and time, measurement mode and read type for each channel and data output settings. To
access the EZ Startup menu from the measurement mode, press the setup key, press the
▲ / ▼ keys to highlight EZ Startup and press the f2 (select) key.
1. Press the ▲ / ▼ keys to highlight English, Español, Deutsch, Français or Italiano as the
language that will be displayed on the meter. Press the f2 (select) key to save the setting
and proceed to the next EZ Startup menu.
2. Set the time, date and date format.
a. To set the time, press the ▲ / ▼ keys to highlight Time and press the f2 (select) key.
Use the numeric keypad to set the time in 24 hour format and press the f2 (accept) key.
b. To set the date, press the ▲ / ▼ keys to highlight Date and press the f2 (select) key.
Use the numeric keypad to set the date (the date format is shown below the date
setting) and press the f2 (accept) key.
c. To set the date format, press the ▲ / ▼ keys to highlight Date Format and press the
f2 (select) key. Press the ▲ / ▼ keys to highlight MM/DD/YYYY to display the date as
month/day/year or DD/MM/YYYY to display the date as day/month/year and press the
f2 (accept) key.
d. Once all of the time and date settings are entered, press the f3 (next) key to save the
settings and proceed to the next EZ Startup menu.
