Service Policy for Exchanging Portable pH/mV Meters (PT-10) - Defective meters shall be exchanged for new ones and will be sent to our central repair workshop (ZW) in Goettingen, Germany, for reworking. - At your special request, meters can be sent to ZW in Goettingen for repair.
Testing the pH Electrode Testing the pH Electrode Testing the pH Electrode Testing the pH Electrode Testing the pH Electrode • Connect the pH electrode to the BNC connector • Place the clean electrode into a pH 7 buffer • Place in mV mode: reading should be 0 ± 30 mV Outside of this range indicates a bad electrode •...
Quick Calibration 1. Place the shorting cap on the BNC connector. 2. Press the mode and enter keys simultaneously. 3. The instrument will display „CAL“ on the screen. When the countdown is finished the meter is calibrated. 4. If the reading is now 0 +/- 0.1 mV (7.00 pH) calibration was successful. If the reading is outside of this range or unstable, replace the main PCB board.
Changing Keypad NOTE: Do not service with power to the instrument! 1. Remove the battery cover. 2. Using a Phillips screwdriver, remove the two screws in the battery compartment and the two screws near the strap opening. screws PT_001.JPG 3. Lift the zif socket labeled „Keypad“ and remove the keypad cable. Keypad zif &...
