Overview

Description

The Jenco ORP650N combines the functionalities of a temperature meter and a pH/ORP meter into one compact unit. This dual-functionality makes it an economical and space-saving solution for various measurement needs. The device is equipped with replaceable electrodes and automatic temperature compensation (ATC), ensuring accurate readings across different temperatures.

Jenco Digital Temperature Meter ORP650N Getting Started

1. Activate the electrode of the tester by soaking it in pH buffer 4 solution for about 0.5-2hours

   

2. Install four LR44 batteries by removing, properly inserting the batteries and then replacing the battery cover

   

3. Understand the LCD display

   

   1. Calibration buffer(s)
   2. Low Battery indicator
   3. Calibration mode indicator
   4. Display hold indicator
   5. pH / ORP reading
   6. Temperature reading (for °C)
   7. Temperature reading (for °F)
4. Understand the operation modes
   The pH610N tester has 3 operation modes and the ORP650N tester has 2 operation modes.
   • Measure Mode
     Measure Mode is used to make all pH ( for model pH610N ), ORP ( for model ORP650N ) and temperature measurements.
   • Calibration Mode ※pH610N only
     Calibration Mode is used to perform1 or 2 point pH calibration.
   • Hold Mode 
     Hold Mode is used to hold and lock the display at the most recent measurement values. Once in Hold Mode, the tester can be removed from the measuring solution without affecting the displayed measurement values.

5. Understand k 5 keypad operations

   Key	Initiating Mode	Action	Function
   CAL /     HOLD	Measure	Press and hold for 2 seconds	Enters Calibration Mode (for pH610N)
   		Press and release	Holds display with or releases the display from the most current measurement values
   	Calibration	Press and release	Exits Calibration Mode
   On / Off	Power On	Press and release	Switches from °C to °F and vice versa
   		Press and hold for 3 seconds	Power Off
   	Power Off	Press and release	Power On

6. Turn the tester on

   

   1. Press the “On/Off” key to turn on the tester
      Note: The tester will automatically turn off after 10 minutes last keypad use.
7. Calibrate pH (for pH610N) pH610N defaults to USA buffer set ( 4.01, 7.00, 10.01 ).  To change the buffer set, while the unit is off press and hold the  “CAL/HOLD” key while pressing the “On/Off” key to turn on the tester. 【Note】Only repeat this procedure to change the buffer set.
   1. Remove the electrode cap of the instrument and rinse the electrode with distilled water.  Place the electrode into the 6.86/7.00 pH buffer.
   2. Press and hold the “Cal” button for 2 seconds to enter the calibration mode.
   3. “Cal” is displayed on the LCD to indicate the current mode, and either 6.86 or 7.00 pH buffer value is displayed.
   4. Blinking “HOLD” is displayed to indicate the tester is stabilizing.  When the measurement is stabilized, the tester automatically stores the calibration value and the first calibration point is complete.
   5. “udr” is displayed while the tester waits for the next calibration point, which defaults to pH buffer 9.18/10.01 or pH buffer 4.00/4.01.
   6. Press “CAL/HOLD” key to exit calibration and save the first calibration data point, or rinse the electrode with distilled water and place it into either pH buffer 4.00/4.01 pH or 9.18/10.01 to continue to calibrate the second calibration point.
   7. Blinking “HOLD” is displayed to indicate the tester is stabilizing.  When the measurement is stabilized, the tester automatically stores the calibrated value and the second calibration point is complete.
   8. "Cal" and "HOLD" is no longer displayed to indicate the second point calibration is completed, and the top part of the LCD displays the two calibrated buffer values.
      Note: pH 610N must be calibrated before first use. ORP650N does not require any calibration.
8. Measure

   1. From “Measure Mode”, dip the electrode end of the tester into the test solution.

      

9. Hold Data
   1. When the pH/ORP reading is stable, press “Hold” key to hold and lock the display to the latest measurement values.
   2. Press “Hold” key again to release and unlock the display and the tester returns to “Measure Mode”. The unit is now ready for another measurement.

Setup Guide

1. Unpacking:
   • Carefully unpack the device from its protective case.
   • Ensure all included accessories such as the pH/ORP probe and temperature probe are present.
2. Battery Installation:
   • Insert four AA batteries into the battery compartment located at the back of the device.
   • Close the compartment securely.
