1.4 Apparatus components 1.4.1 According to version and delivery set the apparatus is composed of: convertor unit with temperature sensor; electrodes as shown in Table 1.1; and tools and accessories kit. 1.5 Design and operation 1.5.1 pH-meter general data MAPK-903 (MAPK-903/1) pH-meter is a small-size microprocessor instrument used to measure pH or U and temperature of aqueous solutions.
Page 10
The electrode system immersed in an analyzable solution generates U linearly dependent on pH value. Signals (U) from the electrode system and temperature sensor are applied to the convertor unit where they are amplified and digitized. The measured U of the pH-meter electrode system is translated into pH value in view of analyzable solution temperature, i.e.

2 INTENDED USE 2.1 Operating limitations 2.1.1 The pH-meter is used to measure hydrogen-ion activity index (from 0 to 12 pH), temperature of aqueous solutions (from 0 to plus 70 С), and U (from minus 1.000 to plus 1.000 mV). 2.1.2 When working with pH-meter, protect electrodes and convertor unit from shocks since fragile materials have been employed in their design.

2.3.1 Connection of power supply To connect power supply, remove the dry cell compartment cover on the rear panel of the convertor unit. Install two AA alkaline dry cells or two charged AA nickel-metal hydride batteries according to marking in the compartment. Close the dry cell compartment cover.
Page 30
The pH-meter is to be calibrated at buffer solution temperature of (20±5) °C. In this case temperatures of the two calibration solutions shall not differ by more than 0.5 С. Prior to calibration the reference electrode or combined electrode filling hole is to be opened.

Usually in measurements using electrodes readings stabilize within maximum of 10 min. However, in some solutions at temperature close to 0 C readings may stabilize within 15 min. Storage between measurements is to meet requirements set out in the electrode (electrodes) certificates. To reduce electrolyte consumption in the electrode, the electrode filling hole is to be closed within idling periods.
Page 35
On completion of measurements wash electrodes and the protective case with distilled water and screw the base onto the case. In case of long breaks in measurements remove the electrode (electrodes) from the protective case and store them as described in their certificates. To reduce electrolyte consumption in the electrode, the electrode filling hole is to be closed within idling periods.
