TIPS FOR AN ACCURATE MEASUREMENT
The instructions listed below should be followed carefully to ensure measurements are conducted
with the highest possible accuracy and precision.
• IT IS CRITICAL THAT THE TIP BE IMMERSED IN THE SOLUTION BEING TITRATED
(APPROXIMATELY 0.5 CM).
• Use a clean, volumetric pipette to measure and transfer the necessary volume of wine sample
into the titration beaker.
• Calibrate the pump prior to each series of titrations.
• Calibrate the pump if the meter is left idle for several hours.
• Analyze the wine sample immediately after it is obtained.
• Clean the electrode with
HI 700635
or
HI 700636
cleaning solutions specially designed for
the wine industry.
• Press
LOG
to record the concentration value into the instrument’s memory. A message will
be displayed for a few seconds indicating the amount of the free log space. Up to 200 log
samples can be recorded in the instrument’s memory.
• Press
Restart
to begin a new titration or
ESC
to return to the titration menu.
• If the concentration exceeds the range limits (> 5.0 g/L for
Low Range
, > 25.0 g/L for
High Range
- see page 7 for range limits) the exceeded range limit will be displayed
blinking. Another titration can be started by pressing
Restart
.
•
“Wrong input”
error message appears when the input reading (pH, temperature) exceeds
the specified limits. The pH or temperature value and the concentration will blink indicating
an error.
