GENERAL INTRODUCTION
Thank you for selecting the 6179 meter. The 6179 is a precision tool
that measures pH, mV, ion concentration and temperature. A built-in
microprocessor stores, calculates and compensates for all
parameters related to pH determinations including pH electrode
temperature characteristics, electrode slope deviations, offset and
buffer solutions.
This meter has a waterproof IP54 case. The mechanical keys are
highly reliable with tactile and audio feedback. It is powered by six
AAA-size alkaline batteries or with a UL/CE approved AC adapter
(OUTPUT:DC 9 V). The meter also displays a “BAT” message when
the batteries are in need of replacement. Re-calibration is not
required when power is restored.
The front of the meter has a large LCD that displays pH , mV , Rmv,
ion and temperature measurements along with user prompts and
mode indicators. The unit prompts the user through calibration and
measurement procedures.
An AUTOLOCK feature for pH, mV
(
RmV
)
and ion measurements
enables the unit to automatically sense the end point and “LOCK”
the display to indicate the end point value of a measurement.
AUTOLOCK and user prompts help eliminate most errors in
determining pH, mV (Rmv), ion values, resulting in precise,
repeatable and error-free measurements. The 6179 can also be
used in non-AUTOLOCK mode.
The model 6179 is available with pH, ORP, ion and ATC (Automatic
Temperature Compensation) probes. Other features include up to 5
point calibration for pH , 2 to 5 point calibration for ion, 1 point
calibration for ORP, electrode offset recognition, electrode slope
recognition, electrode efficiency display, built-in buffer coefficients,
automatic or manual temperature compensation and 50/60 Hz AC
noise rejection. This meter is user-friendly for laboratory application.
INITIAL INSPECTION
Carefully unpack the unit 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.
POWER INPUT
The model 6179 can be powered by an UL/CE approved 100 to 240
VAC adaptor as well as 6 “AAA” alkaline batteries. Check the label
on the AC adaptor supplied with the instrument to make sure that
the AC line voltage is correct. If the wrong AC adaptor is supplied,
notify your
JENCO
representative immediately.
