INTRODUCTION Your purchase of this professional bench-top pH meter marks a step forward for you into the field of precision measurement. Although this meter is a complex and delicate instrument; its usability will allow many years of use if proper operating techniques are observed and practiced. Please read the following instructions carefully and always keep this manual within easy reach.
SPECIFICATION: Range 0 to 14 pH ±1999mV 0 to 90ºC 0.1mV ~199.9 Resolution 0.01pH 0.1ºC 1mV ~1999 ±0.2mV ~199.9 Accuracy ±0.02pH ±0.5ºC ±2mV ~1999 Calibration 5 point selectable Operating voltage 9 to 12VDC, min. 650mA Operating temperature 5 to 40ºC Storage temperature -20 to 60ºC Operating humidity...
ELECTRODE & SENSORS The pH electrode is one of the important sensing elements in the pH measuring system. Understanding and maintaining the electrode in good conditions will ensure consistent and accurate measurement all the time. PRECAUTION ON USE ! Do not touch or scratch the pH glass sensor. It is fragile and delicate. Do not clean sensor with alcohol.
BACK PANEL CONNECTION: Socket for RS232 cable for PC data transfer Analog Recorder output AC-DC Adaptor using sub-miniature 2.5mm (Non-universal, phone jack (not supplied) connect to your local power point only) Socket for Analog Output Socket for earth grounding BNC socket for pH/ORP electrode Socket for temperature probe DISPLAY PANEL:...

Calibration with Custom Standard 10.25 Make sure the unit is properly installed and electrode connected. 10.26 Press and display will show CAL CAL flashing on the left, indicating it is in calibration mode to make an Offset point calibration. 10.27 Rinse the pH electrodes in distilled water then into the buffer solution for Offset calibration or the slope buffer on continuity.
pH measurement without ATC (Manual temperature compensation on sensor error) 11.4 If an alternative specialized electrode is used without the temperature sensor, then the ATC jack should not be connected. Manual setting of the temperature should be made as follow: 11.5 Press and hold down until CAL CAL appears in a flashing mode.
ONLINE DATA LOGGING TO PC: 14.1 This unit can be linked to any computer via the RS232 connection port to perform real time online data logging on the computer. 14.2 Data will be collected at defined intervals and a graph will be plotted. 14.3 Connect the RS232 mini phone jack connector to the back of the meter and the RS232 jack to the COM1 or 2….8 computer socket.
Accuracy achieved: ±0.02 (Complete system, meter + probe) CL Teh Trans Instruments (S) Pte. Ltd. certified that the above products underwent stringent calibration in accordance with Trans Instruments product manufacturing standards and work procedures and the result of inspection or testing for calibration meets the product specifications above.
