- Page 4 Overview pH Overview pH is a unit of measure (ranging from 0 to 14pH) indicating the degree of acidity or alkalinity of a solution. Solutions with a pH lower than 7 are considered acidic, solutions with a pH higher than 7 are known as bases, and solutions with a pH of exactly 7 are considered ‘neutral’. The pH scale is logarithmic so, for example, if sample ‘A’ is 1 pH lower than Sample ‘B’, then Sample ‘A’ is 10 times more acidic than Sample B. A difference of 1 pH represents a ten‐fold difference in acidity. Getting Started For new meters, remove the battery cap (1) at the top of the meter and install 2 batteries observing correct polarity. Remove the cap from the bottom of the instrument (7) to expose the flat surface electrode and reference junction. Before first use, rinse the electrode with clean tap water and wipe dry. The sponge should be kept moistened at all times to ensure accuracy. Replacing Electrodes The PH90 is shipped with a flat surface pH electrode attached (7). Electrode life is limited, and is dependent on (among other factors) frequency of use and care. If the electrode needs to be replaced, follow these steps for removing and connecting electrodes. Replacement pH electrodes (part number pH95) are available from Extech Instruments. Unscrew the electrode collar (6) clockwise, and remove it completely. Pull the pH electrode module out from the tester. Carefully, plug a new electrode module into the tester socket. Replace and tighten the electrode collar to ensure a good seal. Automatic Electrode Recognition When the meter is powered, it recognizes the type of electrode that is connected and displays the appropriate unit of measure. Attach the electrode before powering the meter; never power the meter without an electrode attached. Powering the Meter The batteries are already installed in the meter. Press the power button (3) to power ON or OFF. The displayed battery indicator lets the user know the status of the battery strength. The Auto Power off feature shuts the meter off automatically after 10 minutes of inactivity to preserve battery life. PH90‐en‐GB_V1.4 6/16 GlobalTestSupply www.
- Page 5 Operation Understanding the PH90 Display When an electrode is placed in a solution, the main display indicates the pH reading while the lower display shows temperature. pH Calibration A two point calibration with a buffer of 7 and 4 or 10 (whichever is nearest to the expected sample value) is always recommended. For best accuracy, always calibrate at the sample temperature. Check that the pH icon is displayed on the LCD. Dip the electrode into the pH7 buffer solution. Stir gently and wait for a stable reading. Press and hold the CAL button (3) to enter calibration mode. The LCD will display the CAL icon and then flash 7.00. When calibration is complete the meter will stop flashing and indicate SA and END. Rinse the electrode with clean tap water and wipe dry. Dip the electrode in pH4 (or pH10) buffer solution. Stir gently and wait until the display is stable. Press and hold the CAL button to enter calibration mode. 10. The LCD will display the CAL icon and then flash 4.00 or 10.00. 11. When calibration is complete the meter will stop flashing and indicate % (percent of slope), SA and END. 12. After the calibration of pH4 or pH10, the display will indicate the slope percentage (PTS), indicating the status of the electrode. 13. If the PTS is < 70% or > 130% the electrode must be replaced. A slope of 100% is ideal. Note: The SA icon will not appear if the calibration fails. Note: Calibrate with a pH 7 buffer first and then follow with a pH 4 or pH 10 calibration.

- Page 6 After calibration (detailed earlier), rinse the electrode with clean tap water and wipe dry. Dip the electrode into the sample solution to be measured. Stir gently and wait for a stable reading. Automatic temperature compensation is always active when measuring pH (ATC icon shown on LCD). Temperature Units Selection ( F) Press and hold the C/F button to toggle the displayed temperature units of measure. Data Hold Momentarily press the HOLD/MAX‐MIN button (4) to enter the HOLD mode; the displayed reading will freeze. The icon HOLD will be displayed on the LCD while in this mode. Press this button again to exit the Data Hold mode and return to the measurement mode. The HOLD icon will disappear and the reading will return to the real‐time value. MAX/MIN Press and hold the HOLD/MAXMIN button (4) until the MAX or MIN icon flashes on the display. Momentary presses of this button will now toggle the MAX (highest reading shown) and MIN (lowest reading shown) modes. Press and hold this button to exit the MAX/MIN mode and return to the measurement mode (the MAX/MIN icons will disappear). Note that the meter will not Auto Power OFF while in the MAX/MIN mode. Factory Default RESET Procedure To restore the meter to the factory default settings, power on the meter and press and hold these two buttons while powering the meter OFF.
