    1. Scope of delivery Standard: • Orbeco-Hellige SensoDirect pH 200 • Batteries, 4*AA 1,5 V cells • Operating instructions • Carrying strap Set: • Orbeco-Hellige SensoDirect pH 200 • Batteries, 4*AA 1,5 V cells • pH/Temperature sensor • Standard buffer solutions, each 90 ml pH 4.00/7.00/ 10.00 • Carrying case • Operating instructions • Carrying strap 2. System description The system is a sturdy, water-tight handheld meter designed for daily measurements in the area of field or laboratory analysis.
  • Page 5 The permanent protective plating on the unit serves not just as impact protection but also as a storage com- partment for the electrode and as an anti-slip device when the meter is used in an upright position. Microprocessor technology and 4 x AA 1,5 V batteries allow unit operation without battery change for 15,000 hours or more. A „Low Bat” indicator in the display shows the user when it is time to change the batteries.

    6. Start up The unit is supplied with integrated batteries as stan- dard and is therefore ready for immediate use. You have to unscrew the unit to insert or change the batteries. When inserting the batteries, ensure correct polarity! Screw the unit back together carefully without exerting too much pressure on the gasket seal.
  • Page 9: Measurement

    The electrode or temperature sensor must be plugged in before the unit is switched on. Switch the unit on via the [On/Off] key. The system must be calibrated when the system is started up (see Calibration). Following measurement, please switch the unit off using the [On/Off] key.
  • Page 10 Once a stable reproducible value is present, the result is shown permanently in the display (“frozen”). The display also shows HOLD and the automatically set or manually entered temperature. If you press the [Hold] key again, the measuring cycle starts anew and runs until the stability criteria are Hold met. Temperature measurement, automatic temperature compensation (ATC) During pH measurement and redox measurement (relative to the hydrogen electrode [Rel mV]), it is ne- cessary to compensate for the temperature effect of the electrode.

    8. Configuration of the unit To configure the unit, press the [Menu] key. The first menu item appears. Menu If you press the [Menu] key again, the display jumps to the next menu item. You can set the various parameters using the [▲] [▼] keys. Press the [Store] key to store and conclude configu- ration. Store The unit then switches back to measuring mode. You can terminate the configuration process by pres- sing the [Meas] or [Hold] key.

    8.2 CAL = Calibration: selection of calibration (only with pH function) You can choose between 1, 2 and 3-point calibrati- 1-point calibration: Calibration of the pH electrode is performed at a random point. The electrode slope is always based on the theoretical slope of -59.2mV/pH. 2-point calibration: Calibration of the pH electrode is performed at two points.

The desired delay time is entered in minutes. If P.oFF = oFF, automatic unit switch-off is inactive. 9. Calibration of pH measurement The individual sensor characteristics of pH electrodes are affected by ageing which causes fluctuations.

This can lead to incorrect calibration! You should therefore always use fresh buffer solutions for calibra- tion wherever possible and clean the electrode using...

    Performing calibration If you have not already done so, select the measuring mode ‚pH‘ (see Configuration) and ensure that (depen- ding on your requirements), 1-point, 2-point or 3-point calibration is active in the configuration setting Carefully remove the protective cap from the elec- trode. Clean the electrode using deionised water and dry carefully. 9.1 Starting calibration: Press [Cal] key. ‘CAL’...

    The value is stored when you press the [STORE] key, and the status of the electrode is displayed. N.B.: A flashing display during manual buffer value input Store means that the selected buffer pairs are numerically too close.
