H80.0.02.6C-16 Operating Manual GMH 5530 page 3 of 20 _____________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________ 1 General Note Read this document carefully and get used to the operation of the device before you use it. Keep this document within easy reach near the device for consulting in case of doubt.
3. When connecting the device to other devices the connection has to be designed most thoroughly as internal connections in third-party devices (e.g. connection GND with protective earth) may lead to undesired voltage potentials that can lead to malfunctions or destroying of the GMH 5530 and the connected devices.

After segment test the device displays some configuration: if zero point or slope correction is active (p.r.t. chapter “Configuration” and 9 “Input adjustment”) Remove protective cap from electrode.
First place pH and ORP electrode and temperature probe in the solution and stir carefully. 1. Measuring pH value: Connect the pH electrode and temperature probe to the GMH 5530. Then set device to pH measuring mode and calibrate electrode if necessary (p.r.t.

That means that all needed elements are integrated in a single electrode (including reference electrode). Sometimes even a temperature sensor is integrated.
H80.0.02.6C-16 Operating Manual GMH 5530 page 10 of 20 _____________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________ 6.5 Calibration of pH measurement The electrode data of pH electrodes are subject to fluctuation due to ageing and manufacturing tolerances. Therefore it is necessary to check the calibration with buffer solutions before measurements take place. If deviations are too large, a recalibration is necessary.
