2.3.1 Connection of power supply
To connect power supply, remove the dry cell compartment cover on the rear
panel of the convertor unit. Install two AA alkaline dry cells or two charged AA
nickel-metal hydride batteries according to marking in the compartment. Close the
dry cell compartment cover.
When the pH-meter is turned on, the display shall show the cell charge level.
The number of bars in the cell symbol shows the dry cell charge level as follows:
one bar − 25 %, two bars − 50 %, three bars − 75 %, four bars − 100 %.
1 IMPORTANT: OBSERVE POLARITY when connecting power supply.
Otherwise this may cause pH-meter failure!
2 IMPORTANT: Connect power supply only when the pH-meter is de-
energized!
3 IMPORTANT: To prevent date and time resetting and loss of data in
the electronic scratchpad, batteries or dry cell are to be replaced within
a 30 s period!
Nickel-metal hydride batteries shall be charged with 5 V voltage and
analyzer connected to the PC USB port.
2.3.2 To make electrode (electrodes) available
2.3.2.1 Make electrode (electrodes) available in compliance with the
electrode certificate (certificates) attached to the delivery set.
2.3.2.2 Connect electrode (electrodes) to the convertor unit as shown in
Fig. 1.1a or 1.1b according to pH-meter version.
2.3.3 pH-meter calibration
2.3.3.1 General guidelines
When operating the apparatus, periodically calibrate it with connected
electrodes. Calibration is to be carried out against buffer solutions comprising
Category 2 pH working standards that meet GOST 8.135-2004 and TU 2642-002-
42218836-96 Specifications.
