Калибрлөө
Regular calibration is crucial for maintaining the accuracy of your YINMIK YK-4S meter. The meter comes pre-calibrated for EC/TDS, but pH calibration is recommended before first use and periodically thereafter.
рН калибрлөө
The YK-4S meter uses 7.00, 4.00, and 10.01 pH buffer solutions for calibration. It is recommended to perform a 3-point calibration for best accuracy.
- Prepare the pH buffer solutions (7.00, 4.00, 10.01) by dissolving the powder packets in distilled water according to their instructions.
- Clean the electrode with purified water and gently blot dry with a clean tissue.
- Turn on the meter and switch to pH mode by pressing MODE/CAL.
- Электродду 7.00 рН буфердик эритмеге малыңыз.
- Wait for the pH reading to stabilize.
- көпкө басыңыз MODE/CAL button for 5 seconds until "CAL" appears and the 7.00 value starts blinking. Release the button.
- 7.00 маанисинин жымыңдап күйүшүн токтотуп, турукташын күтүңүз. Бул 7.00 pH калибрлөөсү ийгиликтүү болгонун билдирет.
- Clean the electrode with purified water and blot dry.
- Repeat steps 4-8 for the 4.00 pH buffer solution.
- Repeat steps 4-8 for the 10.01 pH buffer solution.

EC/TDS калибрлөө
The YK-4S meter is pre-calibrated for EC/TDS. If recalibration is necessary, use 1413 µS/cm and 12.88 mS/cm (or 12880 µS/cm) EC calibration solutions.
- Clean the electrode with purified water and gently blot dry.
- Turn on the meter and switch to EC mode (µS/cm) by pressing MODE/CAL.
- Immerse the electrode into the 1413 µS/cm EC calibration solution.
- Wait for the EC reading to stabilize.
- көпкө басыңыз MODE/CAL button for 5 seconds until "CAL" appears and the value starts blinking. Release the button.
- колдонуу MODE/CAL (down arrow) and КАРУУ/ТЕМП (up arrow) buttons to adjust the displayed value to 1413 µS/cm.
- Wait for the value to stop blinking. This indicates successful 1413 µS/cm EC calibration.
- Clean the electrode with purified water and blot dry.
- Repeat steps 3-8 for the 12.88 mS/cm (12880 µS/cm) EC calibration solution, adjusting the value accordingly.

Техникалык тейлөө
Proper maintenance ensures the accuracy and lifespan of your meter.
- Пробду тазалоо: After each use, rinse the electrode thoroughly with purified or distilled water. Gently wipe off any excess water with a clean, soft tissue. Do not rub the electrode vigorously.
- Сактагыч: Always replace the protective cap after use to prevent the electrode from drying out or being damaged. Store the meter in a cool, dry place. For long-term storage, ensure the pH electrode is kept moist, ideally with a few drops of pH electrode storage solution in the cap.
- Зондду алмаштыруу: The YK-4S features a replaceable probe. If the readings become consistently unstable or inaccurate despite proper cleaning and calibration, the probe may need to be replaced. Replacement probe kits are available from YINMIK.
- Батареяны алмаштыруу: When the battery indicator on the display shows low power, replace the LR44 battery.
Проблемаларды чечүү
If you encounter issues with your YINMIK YK-4S meter, consider the following:
- Туура эмес окуулар:
- Ensure the meter has been recently calibrated, especially for pH.
- Clean the electrode thoroughly. Residue can affect accuracy.
- Verify that the temperature of the solution is within the Automatic Temperature Compensation (ATC) range.
- For pH readings, ensure the probe is fully immersed and gently stirred until the value stabilizes. Some solutions may require a longer stabilization time.
- No Display/Flickering Display:
- Батареянын деңгээлин текшериңиз жана керек болсо алмаштырыңыз.
- Батареялар туура полярдуулук менен туура орнотулганын текшериңиз.
- Зонддун зыяны: If the pH sensor bulb is visibly damaged or broken, the probe will need to be replaced.
If problems persist after attempting these steps, please contact YINMIK customer support.
