Configuració
Instal·lació de la bateria
- Unscrew the battery compartment cover located at the top of the meter.
- Insert the two 1.5V AAA batteries, ensuring correct polarity (+/-).
- Torneu a col·locar la tapa del compartiment de la bateria amb seguretat.
Preparació Inicial
- Remove the protective cap from the electrode tip.
- Esbandiu l'elèctrode amb aigua destil·lada o desionitzada.
- Gently blot dry with a clean tissue. Do not rub.
Funcionament
Encès/Apagat
- Premeu el botó ON/OFF per engegar el comptador.
- Manteniu premut el botó ON/OFF button for a few seconds to turn the meter off.
Prendre una mesura

- Ensure the meter is clean and calibrated.
- Immerse the electrode tip into the solution to be tested. Ensure the liquid level is above the glass bulb.
- Gently stir the meter and wait for the reading to stabilize on the display.
- Record the pH and temperature values.
- Després de la mesura, esbandiu l'elèctrode amb aigua destil·lada i torneu a col·locar la tapa protectora.

Compensació automàtica de temperatura (ATC)
The PHM-230 automatically adjusts pH readings based on the solution's temperature, ensuring accuracy without manual temperature correction.
Red Light Alarm
Image: The Elitech PHM-230 pH meter showing a red light alarm on its display, indicating that the measured pH is either less than 3.5 or greater than 11.5, signifying a strong acid or strong alkaline environment.
When the pH reading is less than 3.5 or greater than 11.5, the meter will emit a red light alarm. This indicates that the environment is strongly acidic or strongly alkaline.
Funció de desactivació automàtica

The meter is equipped with a 10-minute auto-off function to conserve battery life. If no operation is detected within 10 minutes, the meter will automatically power down. This setting is retained for the next startup.
Calibració
Regular calibration ensures the accuracy of your pH meter. The PHM-230 supports 3-point automatic calibration using standard buffer solutions (pH 4.00, pH 6.86, pH 9.18).

Calibration Procedure (3-Point)
Image: The Elitech PHM-230 pH meter immersed in three separate beakers containing pH 4.00 (pink), pH 6.86 (green), and pH 9.18 (blue) calibration buffer solutions.
- Enceneu el comptador.
- Manteniu premut el botó CAL button to enter calibration mode. The display will show 'CAL'.
- Immerse the electrode (glass bulb fully) into the first standard buffer solution (e.g., pH 6.86).
- Wait for the reading to stabilize. The meter will automatically recognize the buffer and save the calibration.
- Rinse the electrode with distilled water for at least 1 minute.
- Repeat steps 3-5 for the second standard buffer solution (e.g., pH 4.00).
- Repeat steps 3-5 for the third standard buffer solution (e.g., pH 9.18).
- After completing all three points, the meter will automatically exit calibration mode and return to measurement mode. Calibration is saved.
Manteniment
Cura i emmagatzematge d'elèctrodes
- Always keep the electrode clean. Rinse with distilled water after each use.
- For long-term storage, ensure the electrode is kept moist. The protective cap should contain a small amount of electrode storage solution or pH 4 buffer solution. Do not store in distilled water.
- If the electrode becomes dry, soak it in electrode storage solution or pH 4 buffer for at least 30 minutes before use.
Neteja
- Wipe the meter body with a clean, damp tela. No utilitzeu netejadors abrasius ni dissolvents.
- If the electrode is contaminated with oil or grease, clean it with a mild detergent solution, then rinse thoroughly with distilled water.
