INTRODUCTION

The 4 line by  20-character LCD display allows text  messages or

prompts in “real” language without confusing abbreviations.

Encoder knobs are rotated to scroll through different menus, values or

changing set points. Once a mode of operation, calibration value or

setpoint is dialled simply push the encoder knob to select. All custom

configurations are stored in non-volatile memory.

A real time clock is always present and each relay output can be linked

with a timer to operate only at programmed times.

The signal generated from a pH electrode is extremely weak with a very

high impedance and therefore very sensitive to electrical interference.

This necessitates the use of shielded cable for the connection of the

electrode. A coaxial cable with an additional outer layer of carbon must

be used to ensure a steady pH signal. The DPH-64 converts the electrode

signal with a precision input amplifier and then further processes the

electrical signal for display, alarm, signal and set point controls.
