3. Instrucciones de funcionamiento

3.1 General Measurement Procedure (Soil)

1. Ensure the probe is clean and dry before each use.
2. For soil testing, gently insert the probe into the soil to a depth exceeding the lowest measurement line (indicated by the grooves on the probe). Do not force the probe into hard soil; pre-drill a hole if necessary.
3. Wait for the values on the app to stabilize. This may take a few seconds.
4. Read the displayed values for pH, moisture, EC, fertility, salt, light intensity, air humidity, and temperature.
5. After testing, clean the probe thoroughly with distilled water and wipe it dry with a soft cloth.

3.2 Liquid Measurement Procedure

1. Ensure the probe is clean and dry.
2. Immerse the probe into the liquid sample, ensuring the depth exceeds the lowest measurement line.
3. Wait for the values to stabilize on the app.
4. Read the displayed values.
5. After testing, clean the probe thoroughly with distilled water and wipe it dry. Nota: Soil testers cannot continuously monitor liquids. Remove and clean the probe after each liquid test.

Figure 5: The meter is suitable for both plant soil and water, accurately reading various parameters.

3.3 Continuous Monitoring (Soil)

The soil tester probe can continuously detect soil parameters for up to 72 hours. For prolonged use and to prevent probe damage, it is recommended to remove and clean the probe after 72 hours of testing, and store it for 2 hours before reuse.

Figure 6: The device supports 72-hour continuous soil parameter monitoring, with data automatically transferred to the app.

4. Calibración

4.1 Calibración del pH

Regular pH calibration ensures accurate readings. The meter comes with pH buffer powders for 4.00, 7.00, and 10.01 pH solutions. Follow these steps:

1. Dissolve each 4.00, 7.00, and 10.01 pH powder packet in 250mL of purified water to create the standard solutions.
2. Clean the device probe and wipe off any water.
3. Immerse the probe in the 7.00 standard solution to a depth exceeding the lowest measurement line. Wait for the value to stabilize.
4. In the YINMIK APP, navigate to the 'Calibrate' section, select 'pH', and then choose '7.0' to complete the calibration for this point.
5. Clean the probe and wipe dry.
6. Immerse the probe in the 4.00 standard solution to a depth exceeding the lowest measurement line. Wait for the value to stabilize.
7. In the YINMIK APP, select '4.0' to complete the calibration for this point.
8. Clean the probe and wipe dry.
9. Immerse the probe in the 10.01 standard solution to a depth exceeding the lowest measurement line. Wait for the value to stabilize.
10. In the YINMIK APP, select '10.0' to complete the calibration for this point.
11. Clean the probe and wipe dry. The pH calibration step is now completed.

4.2 Calibración CE

The EC (Electrical Conductivity) function is calibrated at the factory and typically does not require user calibration. If recalibration is needed, please refer to the YINMIK store or contact customer support for detailed instructions.

5. Mantenimiento

5.1 Probe Cleaning and Care

• Always clean the probe with distilled water and wipe it dry with a soft, lint-free cloth after each use.
• Avoid using abrasive materials or harsh chemicals that could damage the polymer electrode.
• When testing soil, use the included stainless steel protection sleeve to prevent damage to the probe tip.
• The probe tip is made of polymer metal, which is more sturdy than glass, but still requires careful handling to prevent damage.

5.2 Almacenamiento

• Guarde el medidor en un lugar fresco y seco, alejado de la luz solar directa y de temperaturas extremas.
• Always replace the plastic screw-on cap on the probe when storing to protect the tip.
• Si lo va a almacenar durante períodos prolongados, retire las pilas para evitar fugas.

6. Solución de problemas

6.1 Inaccurate or Erratic Readings

• Limpieza de la sonda: Ensure the probe is thoroughly cleaned before and after each test. Residue can significantly affect accuracy.
• Calibración: Perform pH calibration regularly, especially if readings seem off. Ensure correct calibration solutions are used.
• La humedad del suelo: For soil tests, ensure the soil is adequately moist. Dry soil can lead to erratic or no readings.
• Profundidad de inserción: Ensure the probe is inserted beyond the lowest measurement line for proper contact.
• Tiempo de estabilización: Allow sufficient time for readings to stabilize before recording.

6.2 Problemas de conexión Bluetooth

• Version de aplicacion: Ensure you have the latest version of the YINMIK APP installed.
• Bluetooth habilitado: Verifique que Bluetooth esté activo en su dispositivo móvil.
• Proximidad del dispositivo: Keep the meter close to your mobile device during connection.
• Reiniciar dispositivos: Intente reiniciar tanto el medidor como su dispositivo móvil.

6.3 Probe Damage

• The polymer probe is designed to be durable, but excessive force can still cause damage. Always pre-drill a hole in hard soil.
• Avoid dropping the meter or striking the probe against hard surfaces.
• If the probe is damaged, replacement probes may be available from the manufacturer or authorized sellers.
