pH value / ORP voltage
4.6.1 General information
You can measure the following variables:
pH value [ ]
ORP [mV]
The RS232 interface is not galvanically isolated.
When connecting an earthed PC/printer, measurements cannot be per-
formed in earthed media as incorrect values would result.
For reproducible pH measurements, it is essential to measure the tem-
perature of the test sample.
You have the following possibilities for measuring the temperature:
Automatic measurement of the temperature by a temperature sen-
sor (NTC30 or Pt1000) integrated in electrode.
Manual determination and input of the temperature.
The meter recognizes whether a suitable electrode is connected and
automatically switches on the temperature measurement.
The display of the temperature indicates the active temperature mea-
suring mode:

Perform the following preparatory activities when you want to measure:
1
Connect a pH or ORP electrode to the meter.
2
Press the <M> key (long pressure) repeatedly until the pH &
ORP measuring mode is selected.
3
Press the <M> key (short pressure) repeatedly until the mea-
sured parameter, pH or ORP is selected.
4
Adjust the temperature of the solutions and measure the cur-
rent temperature if the measurement is made without a temper-
ature sensor.
5
Calibrate or check the meter with the electrode.
