5 | Bases for measurement 5 Bases for measurement 5.1 pH measurement 5.1.1 Explanation The pH value describes the acidic or alkaline behaviour of an aqueous solution. A pH value below 7 is acidic, a value above 7 is alkaline. A pH value of 7 is neutral. The pH measurement is very precise, but also sensitive.
Bases for measurement | 5 5.1.3 Design 1. Coaxial cable 2. Reference electrode 3. Measuring electrode 4. Refill opening 5. Electrolyte 6. Internal buffer 7. Diaphragm 8. Glass membrane / source layer The diaphragm, which establishes a connection between the electrolyte and the liquid to be measured, can be designed in different ways.
5 | Bases for measurement – GE 120 BNC is an insertion electrode and is preferably used for measurements in cheese, fruit and meat. For measurements in products containing proteins, the electrode must be cleaned with a special cleaner. For this purpose, we recom- mend the GRL 100 pepsin cleaning solution.
Bases for measurement | 5 5.2 Redox measurement 5.2.1 Explanation The Redox potential 0RP specifies the extent to which the measured sample has an oxidising or reducing effect relative to the standard hydrogen electrode. This potential is frequently used in swimming pools as a measured variable for the dis- infecting effect of a chlorination.
6 | Maintenance 6 Maintenance 6.1 Operating and maintenance notices NOTE The product and electrode must be handled with care and used in accordance with the technical data. Do not throw or strike. NOTE Plugs and sockets must be protected from soiling. NOTE If the product is stored at a temperature above 50 °C, or is not used for an extended period of time, the batteries must be removed.
Maintenance | 6 6.2.2 Changing battery DANGER Danger of explosion! Using damaged or unsuitable batteries can generate heat, which can cause the batter- ies to crack and possibly explode! – Only use high-quality and suitable alkaline batteries! CAUTION Damage! If the batteries have different charge levels, leaks and thus damage to the product can occur.
6 | Maintenance 6.3 Calibration and adjustment 6.3.1 pH calibration Description In order to obtain reliable measurements, the device and electrode must be aligned with each other. In pH measurement, this is referred to as a calibration. In order to conduct a pH measurement, proceed as follows.

Maintenance | 6 6.3.1.2 Buffer solutions Description At least one buffer solution is required to calibrate the product. In the process, you have the option of using a ready-to-use PHL buffer solution or mixing the solution yourself with GPH buffer capsules - refer to the instructions. Colour 10 °C 20 °C...

6 | Maintenance 5. The product determines the correct value automatically. If the value is determined, the display flashes and an acoustic signal is issued to indicate a change to the next calibration point. 6. If the temperature sensor is not inserted, enter the temperature of the buffer solu- tion by pressing the Up key and Down key and confirm the entry by pressing the Function key again.
Page 21
Maintenance | 6 Outcome of an action After successful completion of the calibration the assessment of the electrode condi- tion is displayed briefly in percent. Then, the current measurement is shown in the dis- play again. A low value can be the result of the age of the electrode, contaminated or old buffer solutions or impurities on the BNC connector.
6 | Maintenance 6.4 Calibration and adjustment service 6.4.1 Certificates The certificates are categorised as ISO calibration certificates and DAkkS calibration certificates. The purpose of the calibration is to verify the precision of the measuring device by comparing it with a traceable reference. NOTE The ISO standard 9001 is applied for the calibration certificates.
