2.4 Functional specifications
The tables below display the specifications for measuring different substances with the
5081.
pH/ORP Table 2-4:
pH range 0 to 14
ORP range -1400 to +1400 mV
Calibration/standardization The automatic buffer recognition uses stored buffer values and their temperature
curves for the most common buffer standards available worldwide. The transmit-
ter also performs a stabilization check on the sensor in each buffer. A manual two-
point calibration is made by immersing the sensor in two different buffer solutions
and entering the pH values. The microprocessor automatically calculates the slope
which is used for self-diagnostics. An error message is displayed if the pH sensor is
faulty. This slope can be read on the display and/or manually adjusted if desired.
An on-line, one-point process standardization is accomplished by entering the pH
or ORP value of a grab sample as measured by a lab reference.
Preamplifier location A preamplifier must be used to convert the high impedance pH electrode signal to
a low impedance signal for transmitter use. The integral preamplifer of the 5081
may be used when the sensor to transmitter distance is less than 15 ft. (4.5 m). A
sensor with a built-in preamplifier or a junction box can be used if distance is lon-
ger than 15 ft. (4.5 m).
Automatic temperature compen-
sation External 3 or 4 wire Pt 100 RTD or Pt 1000 RTD, located in the sensor, compen-
sates the pH reading for temperature fluctuations. Compensation covers the
range 5 to 270 °F (-15 to 130 °C). Manual temperature compensation is also select-
able.
