MANUAL EN 4.10 pHix® Compact 1904 Mechanical mounting General pHix® Compact is made from Ryton (PPS) and/or stainless steel (EN 1.4404 / ASTM 316L), and because of this, it has a tremendous resistance against chemicals. pHix® Compact can, without any further preparation, be used for measuring in solvents and strong alcalic or acid liquids.
MANUAL EN 4.10 pHix® Compact 1904 Open and closed systems pHix® Compact is designed for measuring in both open and closed systems. Open systems are, for example, gutters, wells, and reservoirs. Closed systems are, for example, pipe systems or tanks/vessels. pHix®...
MANUAL EN 4.10 pHix® Compact 1904 pHix® Compact conforms to pressure class PN 5, and can therefore be mounted in closed systems with a working pressure of max. 5 bar. Mounting in open channels and reservoirs Due to the lifetime of the electrode and measurement accuracy, the following should be complied with when mounting pHix®...

MANUAL EN 4.10 pHix® Compact 1904 Mounting in closed systems The electrode is filled with a liquid which should cover the membrane internally at all times. Therefore, pHix® Compact should not be mounted in angles exceeding 75° from vertical. Because of the liquid inside the electrode, pHix® Compact should always be mounted in angles less than 75°...
MANUAL EN 4.10 pHix® Compact 1904 Mounting on pipe socket In order to ensure a tight seal and correct function of pHix® Compact, the following should be complied with: 1. The pipe socket must be flushed and free of burrs, etc. 2.

MANUAL EN 4.10 pHix® Compact 1904 Buffer adjustment General In order to ensure a precise and stable pH measurement, pHix® Compact must be buffer adjusted with regular intervals. Buffer adjustment is a calibration, which is carried out in practice by dipping pHix®...
MANUAL EN 4.10 pHix® Compact 1904 Buffer liquid Buffer liquid is delivered as ready-to-use solutions with the pH values 4, 7 and 10. During the buffer adjustment, pHix® Compact is calibrated in accordance with the pH values of the buffer solutions. It is therefore important to use as accurate buffer solutions as possible, i.e.
MANUAL EN 4.10 pHix® Compact 1904 Cleaning Before starting buffer adjustment, wash the electrode in running water and wipe it with a cloth before immersing it in the buffer solution. Washing and wiping must be repeated between each step of the buffer adjustment. Use only fresh buffer solutions! Dispose of any used buffer liquid.

MANUAL EN 4.10 pHix® Compact 1904 If pHix® Compact is being put into a buffer liquid with the same value as the switch ring is set to, pHix® Compact will automatically begin to scan for a buffer with the same value. When the value is found, pHix® Compact will automatically set the 0-point or span to the correct value, and the LED will indicate this with two short flashes every 5 seconds.
MANUAL EN 4.10 pHix® Compact 1904 Example of buffer adjustment in pH 4 and 7 1. With the switch ring in position M, flush the electrode tip in water. Carefully, wipe of the electrode tip with a cloth. Never use materials that can scratch the measuring lens.
MANUAL EN 4.10 pHix® Compact 1904 In service (measurement). One flash Buffer adjustment in pH 4 buffer. every 5. second. Buffer adjustment in pH 7 buffer. Buffer adjustment in pH 10 buffer. Buffer adjustment using the tilt switch Remember to clean the electrode as described earlier! Only the built-in tilt switch is active when the switch ring has been removed for more than 10 minutes.

MANUAL EN 4.10 pHix® Compact 1904 To start a new buffer adjustment, the buffer liquid or electrode should be replaced and pHix® Compact turned upside-down for at least 30 seconds before a new buffer adjustment is made. Depending on the zero point value of the electrode and the preceding buffer values, the pHix®...
MANUAL EN 4.10 pHix® Compact 1904 Maintenance General A pH or redox measuring system requires maintenance with regular intervals. Cleaning and buffer adjustment (calibration) is a normal and necessary maintenance that should be carried out regularly. Intervals The interval between buffer adjustments and cleaning depends widely on the working conditions.
MANUAL EN 4.10 pHix® Compact 1904 If the transmitter does not show the correct value when put into the buffer solution, the electrode must be exchanged. Cleaning of the electrode Use clean water for cleaning the electrode. A 10% hydrochloric acid solution can be used for cleaning if the electrodes are greasy.
