Overview of the Portavo 904(X) PH The Portavo 904(X) PH is a portable pH meter. A plain-text line on the high- contrast LCD screen makes operation vir- tually self-explanatory. The device variant 904 X PH is available for applications in hazardous locations up to Zone 0. The meter stands out by the following features: •...
Overview of the Portavo 904(X) PH Value-Added Features Memosens The Portavo 904 can communicate with Memosens sensors. When these digital sensors are connected to the meter, they are automatically identified and indicated by the logo shown on the right. Furthermore, Memosens allows the storage of calibration data, which will be available and can still be used when the sensor is connected to another Memosens-capable device.
Overview of the Portavo 904(X) PH Protective Cover The front of the meter is protected by a cover, which can be completely flipped over and secured to the back for oper- ation. A label on the inner side of the cover explains the control functions and device messages.
Overview of the Portavo 904(X) PH Display The meter has a three-line display for representing alphanumeric informa- tion such as measurement and calibra- tion data, temperatures and date/time. Additional information is provided by means of icons (Sensoface, battery icon, etc.). Some typical displays are shown here.

Start-Up A battery icon in the display indicates the battery power level: Icon fully filled Batteries at full capacity Icon partially filled Battery capacity is sufficient Icon empty Battery capacity not sufficient; calibration is possible, no logging Icon blinks Max. 10 operating hours remaining, measurement is still possible NOTICE! It is absolutely necessary to replace the batteries.
Start-Up Connecting a Sensor The Portavo 904(X) PH provides several connections so that many types of sensors can be used for measurement. Note that only one sensor may be connected to the meter at a time. The meter automatically recognizes a connected Memosens sensor and switches accordingly.
Start-Up Switching On the Meter When you have connected the sensor, you can switch the meter on by pressing the on/off or meas key. When the meter is switched on with the on/off key, first a self test is performed and then the calibration data and settings are displayed before the meter switches to measuring mode.

Measurement to select the required calibration CALIMATIC blinks method (CALIMATIC, DATA INPUT, CAL SOP (Option), ORP OFFSET (with pH/ORP combo sensor connected), TEMP. OFFSET (Option) or MANUAL).
Measuring Keys for Once you have completed all preparations, you can start with measurement the actual measurement. 1) Connect the desired sensor to the meter. Some sensors require a special preparation. Please proceed according to the operating instructions for the sensor. 2) Switch the meter on using the on/off or meas key.
Data Logger The Data Logger The meter provides a data logger. Prior to use, it must be configured and then activated. You can choose from the following logger types: • DIFF (signal-controlled logging of measured variable and temperature) • INT (time-controlled logging at a fixed interval) •...
Data Logger Operating Modes of the Data Logger (Logger Type) Manual logging when logger is activated (SHOT) In this mode, a measured value is recorded when the STO key is pressed.
