2. 안전 정보

• Always handle the meter and calibration solutions with care.
• Keep calibration and cleaning solutions out of reach of children and pets. Do not ingest.
• Avoid dropping or subjecting the meter to severe impacts.
• Do not disassemble the meter; this will void the warranty.
• Ensure the battery compartment is sealed properly to prevent water ingress.

4. 제품 오버view

The YINMIK YK-T4 is a versatile 4-in-1 meter designed for hydroponic applications. It features a large, clear display that can show multiple parameters simultaneously, such as pH, EC/PPM, and temperature, without the need for manual switching. The meter is equipped with dedicated calibration buttons for ease of use and has a replaceable electrode for extended service life.

5. 설정

1. 배터리 설치: Open the battery compartment (usually located at the top or back of the meter) and insert the required batteries, observing polarity. Close the compartment securely.
2. 초기 헹굼: Before first use, rinse the electrode with distilled or deionized water.
3. Prepare Electrode Cap: Ensure the sponge inside the electrode cap is moist with the provided pH Electrode Storage Solution. This prevents the electrode from drying out, which can affect accuracy and lifespan.

6. 사용 설명서

1. 켜기: 전원 버튼을 눌러 측정기를 켭니다.
2. 모드 선택: Use the 'MODE' button to cycle through different measurement displays (e.g., pH/EC/Temp, pH/PPM/Temp).
3. 측정: 전극을 용액에 담그십시오ample solution, ensuring the sensor is fully submerged. Gently stir the solution and wait for the reading to stabilize (typically a few seconds).
4. 기록 읽기: Read the values displayed on the screen.
5. 온도 단위 : Use the 'TEMP' button to switch between Celsius (°C) and Fahrenheit (°F) if applicable.
6. 끄기: Press the power button again to turn off the meter. Rinse the electrode with distilled water after each use and replace the cap with moist storage solution.

7. 교정

Regular calibration is essential for accurate readings. Calibrate your meter at least once a month, or more frequently if used often, if readings are inconsistent, or after replacing the electrode.

7.1 pH 교정

1. Prepare two clean beakers with pH 4.00 and pH 7.00 calibration solutions.
2. 전극을 증류수로 헹구고 말립니다.
3. Immerse the electrode into the pH 7.00 solution. Press and hold the 'pH CAL' button until the display shows 'CAL' or a similar indication. The meter will automatically recognize the solution and calibrate. Wait for the reading to stabilize and confirm calibration (e.g., 'END' or 'PASS').
4. 전극을 증류수로 다시 헹구십시오.
5. Immerse the electrode into the pH 4.00 solution. Repeat the calibration process as with pH 7.00.
6. For advanced users, a third point (pH 10.00) may be used if available and required for your specific range.

7.2 EC Calibration

1. Prepare a clean beaker with 1413 µS/cm conductivity calibration solution.
2. 전극을 증류수로 헹구고 말립니다.
3. Immerse the electrode into the 1413 µS/cm solution. Press and hold the 'EC CAL' button until the display shows 'CAL' or a similar indication. The meter will automatically recognize the solution and calibrate. Wait for the reading to stabilize and confirm calibration.
4. Rinse the electrode with distilled water after calibration.

8. 유지관리

8.1 Electrode Cleaning

Over time, deposits can accumulate on the electrode, leading to inaccurate readings even after calibration. Regular cleaning is crucial.

1. 증류수로 전극을 헹굽니다.
2. Immerse the electrode in the provided Electrode Cleaning Solution for approximately 15-30 minutes. For stubborn deposits, a longer soak may be necessary.
3. Gently brush the electrode tip with a soft brush (e.g., a soft toothbrush) if visible deposits remain.
4. 전극을 증류수로 깨끗이 헹구십시오.
5. Perform a full calibration after cleaning to ensure accuracy.

8.2 전극 보관

Proper storage is vital for extending the life of your electrode.

• Always rinse the electrode with distilled water after use.
• Ensure the sponge inside the electrode cap is kept moist with pH Electrode Storage Solution. Never store the electrode dry.
• Replace the electrode cap securely after each use.

8.3 Solution Storage

The calibration and cleaning solutions are provided with double-layer strong sealing tape to prevent leakage and contamination during transportation and storage. Ensure bottles are tightly sealed after use to maintain their integrity.

9. 문제 해결

• 부정확한 판독:
  • Ensure the electrode is clean. Refer to Section 8.1.
  • Perform a full calibration. Refer to Section 7.
  • Check if the electrode is damaged or worn out. Replace if necessary.
  • samp온도가 계측기의 작동 범위 내에 있습니다.
• 계량기가 켜지지 않음:
  • Check battery installation and ensure batteries are not depleted. Replace if needed.
  • Ensure the battery compartment is dry and free of corrosion.
• 느린 응답 시간:
  • The electrode may be dirty or dry. Clean and re-moisten the electrode.
  • The electrode may be nearing the end of its lifespan.
