3.7 ENTERING pH BUFFER VALUES The Model 3345 allows pH buffer values to be entered in two ways - either in pH SETUP or CALIBRATION. Select the pH mode using the arrow keys and press . Move the cursor to highlight the SETUP menu option and press .
If a two point calibration is required the electrode(s) should be rinsed and then placed into the second buffer solution. Allow the reading to stabilise (the endpoint symbol will be displayed) prior to pressing the key. The display will then update to the standard buffer value, corrected for temperature (actual temperature will be displayed). 3345/REV A/08-99...
The icon will then change to show the CAL 2 buffer value. If a one point calibration only is required select the EXIT option using the arrow keys and pressing . The instrument will return to the pH mode. 3345/REV A/08-99...
This indicates that the slope value is out of range. The error code will be displayed for 3 seconds and will then reset the calibration data back to the ideal Nernst response (0mV @ pH 7, 59.16mV/pH @ 25°C). 3345/REV A/08-99...
7. During use ensure the electrode is rinsed between each measurement to eliminate contamination of solutions. 8. Ensure that the side port/inlet is uncovered, especially during a long run of tests. 3345/REV A/08-99...
As the electrode ages, becomes contaminated or dirty, these values will drift, indicating that corrective action should be taken. Recording these values as part of a routine Quality Control program can give a good indication of the condition of the electrode. 3345/REV A/08-99...
If both sensors fail the instrument will revert to manual temperature measurement. Manual values can be entered via the SETUP and INSTRUMENT SETUP... menus and selecting MAN TEMPERATURE using the arrow keys and pressing . Adjustment is made using the numeric keypad and pressing 3345/REV A/08-99...

Rinse electrode(s) and place in the sample. Allow the reading to stabilise (the endpoint symbol will be displayed). Repeat for each sample. At the end of sample measurement re-check the calibration of the instrument using one standard solution. NOTE: Accuracy will be dependent upon the number of calibration points performed. 3345/REV A/08-99...

SECTION 6 INTERFACING Analog Outputs The Model 3345 has 3 analog outputs - one is proportional to the current primary displayed reading - the other two are buffered electrode potential outputs. Analog Output Proportional to Displayed Reading The voltage is proportional to the displayed primary reading. In mV mode there is a direct relationship i.e.
Page 44
Pressing the PRINT key outputs from the RS232 interface. Sending an ASCII “D” to the 3345 causes a printout of the current displayed reading plus sample number. Sending an ASCII “C” causes a printout of the last calibration parameters (same as printout after performing a calibration).

ALARM CONNECTIONS Each sensor channel has independant alarms. When a reading goes outside the alarm limits, the 3345 acti- vates an open collector transistor alarm output to indicate that a low or high alarm limit has been exceeded. Each transistor can sink up to 0.5A. The maximum no load voltage for each transistor is 50V dc.
