2.1 Package contents
The model ST3100M-B multi-parameter bench meter (basic package) has the following items:
In addition to ST3100M-B multi-parameter bench meter content, the ST3100M-F multi-parameter
bench meter package also includes the following:
Each pH buffer powder should be dissolved in 250ml pure water or deionized water in a
volumetric flask.
The best measurement range for STCON3 4-ring (or 4-pole) conductivity electrode is 70μS/cm-
200mS/cm. In this range the measurement accuracy can reach 0.5%.
If you use STCON3 to measure pure water which conductivity value is below 70μS/cm; the
measurement will be less accurate (approximately 1% to 5%).
Do not use STCON3 to measure conductivity value less than 2μS/cm, the accuracy is not good.
We have STCON7 pure water conductivity electrode which measurement range is 0.02μS/cm-
200μS /cm, with accuracy of 0.02μS/cm.

3.2 Calibration
Standard procedure of pH measurement is as follows:
a) pH electrode preparation
b) buffer preparation and pH electrode calibration
c) sample preparation
d) pH measurement
e) Record measurement results or print
f) Rinse the pH electrode and properly store
pH electrode preparation: pH electrode should be rinsed with pure water before and after use.
Check if the electrode is physically damaged. (Be careful with the glass bulb)
Note: please calibrate the pH electrode before measurement.
STARTER 3100M can perform 1-, 2- or 3- point calibrations.
Calibration: pH electrodes need to be calibrated with pH standard buffer solution before a proper
pH measurement can be made. Calibration is to display the correct pH value when meter receive
the mV value signal from the pH electrode.
Slope: the linear coefficient between mV and pH according to theoretical value (e.g. -
59.16mV/pH @ 25°C which means 100% slope);
Offset: the mV value when pH value is 7.00. (Theoretical value is 0 mV);
3.2.1 Performing 1-point calibration
When performing calibration, Ohaus recommends using Auto End Point Mode. After powering
the meter on, be sure the top of the screen shows to ensure the meter is in Auto End point
Mode.

o When in Manual Mode, to manually reach a pH measurement or calibration value,
you need to press button- when reading is stable and displays :
then the sample reading or calibration value freezes, blinks 3 times and
freezes on the display.
o When in Auto End Point Mode, the meter determines when the reading is stable
then displays and locks the reading or calibration value automatically, the reading
freezes and blinks 3 times then disappears; blinks 3 times and freezes
on the display.
Note: With the 1-point calibration only the offset is adjusted. If the sensor was previously
calibrated with multi-point calibration the previously stored slope will remain. Otherwise theoretical
100% slope (-59.16 mV / pH) will be used.
