Brief Introduction 

 

Thank you for purchasing  the Apera Instruments  SX811-PW Portable pH Meter kit. This device is an 

outstanding combination of advanced electrical, sensor technology and software design. The meter is 

equipped with LabSen 803 pH Electrode, designed for testing pH levels of purified water such as drinking 

water, RO water, distilled water, deionized water and other low ion-concentration liquid in an accurate 

and convenient manner. It also works well testing regular water solutions. 

 

(for other applications, please refer to Section 11 to find the most suitable electrode)

 

 

1.1 

Features

 

 

This  microprocessor-based  meter  features  automatic  calibration,  automatic  temperature 

compensation  (ATC),  menu  set-up,  calibration  reminder,  calibration  date  checking,  automatic 

powe-off and low-battery warning.

 

 

GLP data management

clock display, manual storage and automatic timing storage, USB port 

and power outage data protection, your data is safe even with a dead battery.   

 

 

Advanced digital processing technology improvs meter responding time and accuracy. 1-3 points 

automatic calibration, calibration guide and self diagnose.

 

 

IP57  waterproof,  operable  under  extreme  conditons.  Powered  by  3  AA  batteries  or  USB 

connection to other power source. Solid and durable case

accessories are included. 

 

 

1.2 

Features of the LabSen 803 Glass pH Electrode

 

 

Proprietary pH sensor technology and materials from Switzerland

 

 

Unique LabSen cylindrical glass membrane, faster response rate, better repeatability in purified 

water

 

 

Get  stable  pH  readings  in  purified  water  or  low  ion-concentration  solutions  in  30  seconds  on 

average. Say goodbye to constant fluctuations

 

 

Patented  pH/Temperature  combination  structure  (Swiss  Patent  Nr.699927),  increasing  the 

temperature respond time by 40% compared to conventional isolated built-in thermistor

 

 

Silver Ion Trap Reference System – On top of the Long-Life reference system, a silver ion trap is 

added to prevent the junction being blocked by silver sulfide, having better stability and longer 

service life.
