A single electrode efficiency will also be displayed after a two point
calibration. This is the efficiency between the two calibration points.
Two separate efficiencies will be displayed after a three point
calibration, one for the slope between 4.01/4.00 and 7.00/6.86 and
another for the slope between 7.00/6.86 and 10.01/9.18.
It is recommended to clean and/or replace the electrode when the
efficiency value is less than 90%.
pH MEASUREMENTS
The buffer(s)
on the display represent the buffers used during the most
recent calibration. The selected buffer set must not be flashing before
taking measurements. If it is flashing, a calibration must be performed.
MEASUREMENTS IN THE pH AUTOLOCK MODE
1. Press the
Mode
key until the “pH” icon and “AUTO” icon light up.
• The “ATC” icon will light up if a temperature sensor is
connected.
• The “MAN” icon will light up if no temperature sensor is
connected. The temperature can manually be set by pressing
the
up
and
down
arrow keys.
2. Rinse the pH and temperature (if applicable) sensors with distilled
water and immerse in the sample to be measured. Remove any air
bubbles trapped around the electrode by shaking or stirring the
electrode.
3. Press the
Meas. / Effic.
key. The “WAIT” icon will start flashing. The
unit is waiting for a stable pH and temperature measurement.
4. When the “WAIT” icon disappears and the “LOCK” icon appears,
the reading is frozen and will not respond to further changes. The
pH value shown is the pH value of the sample at the displayed
sample temperature.
• For samples that are inherently unstable, the unit will not
AUTOLOCK. In this case, use the pH NON- AUTOLOCK mode
for measurements.
MEASUREMENTS IN THE pH NON-AUTOLOCK MODE
1. Press the
Mode
key until the “pH” icon lights up.
The “AUTO” icon
will not be on the display when in the NON-AUTOLOCK mode.
• The “ATC” icon will light up if a temperature sensor is
connected.
• The “MAN” icon will light up if no temperature sensor is
connected. The temperature can manually be set by pressing
the
up
and
down
arrow keys.
