4. Орнотуу
4.1 Батареяны орнотуу
The device uses 3 LR44 batteries. If not pre-installed, open the battery case by twisting the cap at the top of the meter. Insert the batteries according to the polarity markings, then securely close the battery case.
4.2 Алгачкы даярдоо
Before first use, or after prolonged storage, ensure the pH sensor is clean. Remove the protective cap and gently rinse the sensor with distilled water. It is recommended to perform a calibration before the first measurement.
5. Калибрлөө
Regular calibration ensures the accuracy of your pH tester. Use the provided calibration buffer powders (e.g., pH 4.00, pH 6.86, pH 9.18) and distilled water to prepare calibration solutions. Refer to the detailed English instruction manual included in your package for the precise step-by-step calibration procedure. Generally, calibration involves:
- Prepare the buffer solutions according to instructions.
- Turn on the meter and immerse the electrode into the first buffer solution (e.g., pH 6.86).
- Press the CAL button and wait for the reading to stabilize and calibrate.
- Rinse the electrode with distilled water and repeat with the next buffer solution (e.g., pH 4.00 or pH 9.18) if multi-point calibration is required.

6.1 Direct Soil Testing
The YINMIK Digital pH Tester is designed for direct soil measurement. Follow these steps for accurate readings:

Image 2: A visual guide demonstrating the four steps for using the pH tester in soil: 1) Install the stainless steel blade, 2) Insert the probe into the soil, 3) Clean the pH probe with a brush, and 4) Remove the blade and replace the protective cover.
- Step 1: Install the Stainless Steel Blade. Attach the tapered stainless steel dibber to the probe tip. This protects the delicate glass pH electrode from damage when penetrating dense soil.
- Step 2: Insert the Probe into Soil. Gently push the probe with the installed dibber into the soil to the desired depth. Ensure the soil is moist. If the soil is too dry, water it and wait 20-30 minutes before testing.
- Step 3: Read the pH Value. Turn on the meter. Wait for the reading on the LCD display to stabilize. Record the pH value and temperature.
- Step 4: Clean pH Probe. After each use, remove the probe from the soil. Use the provided cleaning brush and distilled water to thoroughly clean the pH sensor.
- Step 5: Replace Protective Cover. Remove the stainless steel blade and replace the original protective cap on the pH sensor to keep it moist and protected.
6.2 Liquid Solution Testing
The YINMIK pH Tester can also measure the pH of various liquid solutions, such as hydroponic nutrient solutions, well water, or rainwater.

Image 3: The YINMIK pH tester is shown in two scenarios: on the left, measuring the pH of a liquid solution in a glass, and on the right, inserted directly into potted plant soil for testing.
- Step 1: Prepare the Meter. Ensure the stainless steel dibber is removed and the protective cap is off the pH sensor.
- Step 2: Immerse the Sensor. Gently immerse the pH sensor into the liquid solution, ensuring the sensor is fully submerged but not touching the bottom or sides of the container.
- Step 3: Read the pH Value. Turn on the meter. Wait for the reading on the LCD display to stabilize. Record the pH value and temperature.
- Step 4: Clean and Store. After use, rinse the sensor thoroughly with distilled water and replace the protective cap.
6.3 App Connection and Monitoring
The YINMIK Digital pH Tester supports Bluetooth connectivity for real-time monitoring and data management via a mobile application.

7. Техникалык тейлөө
7.1 Зондду тазалоо
Proper cleaning of the pH probe is crucial for accurate readings and extending its lifespan:
- Always rinse the pH sensor with distilled water after each use.
- Use the provided cleaning brush to gently remove any soil particles or residue from the sensor.
- Avoid touching the glass electrode with your fingers, as oils and dirt can affect its performance.
7.2 Сактоо
When not in use, store the pH tester properly:
- Ensure the protective cap is securely placed back on the pH sensor. The cap often contains a small sponge that should be kept moist with a few drops of storage solution or pH 4 buffer to prevent the electrode from drying out.
- Store the device in a cool, dry place, preferably in its original packaging, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
- Узак мөөнөткө сактасаңыз, акып кетпеш үчүн батарейкаларды алып салыңыз.
