INITIAL INSPECTION
Carefully unpack the instrument and accessories. Inspect for
damages made in shipment. If any damage is found, notify
your Jenco representative immediately. All packing materials
should be saved until satisfactory operation is confirmed.
GENERAL INTRODUCTION
The model 6173 is a precise instrument for the measurement
of pH, mV and temperature. A built-in microcomputer is used
to store, calculate and compensate for all the relevant
parameters relating to pH determinations. These include
temperature characteristics of the pH electrode, buffer
solutions and electrode slope deviations.
The mechanical touch keys are highly reliable with tactile
and audio feedback. This meter can operated with six 1.5V
batteries. Re-calibration is not required when power is
turned on again.
The meter has a large LCD that displays the pH (mV) and
temperature simultaneously along with the user-prompting
mode indication annunciators. The instrument prompts the
user through the calibration and measurement procedures.
An AUTOLOCK feature is provided for both pH and mV
measurements. This enables the instrument to automatically
sense the end point and "lock" the reading to indicate the
end point value of a measurement. The 6173 can also be used
in the non-AUTOLOCK mode.
The AUTOLOCK and the user prompting features help eliminate
most of the errors in the determination of pH and mV values.
