Problems/Probable Causes/Things to Try ......................Page 26 IF USING ALKALINE BATTERIES — PREVENT BATTERY LEAKAGE! TempHion sensors are typically shipped with lithium batteries. If, however, you are using alkaline batteries, be aware that under some circumstances alkaline batteries can leak, causing damage to the sensor. To prevent leakage, the following is recommended.
The pH/ORP version measures pH, ORP (Redox), single computer. and temperature. The ISE version measures bromide and While most will use the TempHion with our free, easy-to- temperature. use Aqua4Plus software, it is by no means limited to that The internal processor in the TempHion allows for easy software.

TEMPHION INSTRUCTIONS GENERAL INFORMATION Initial Inspection and Handling Upon receipt of your smart sensor, inspect the shipping package for damage. If any damage is apparent, note the signs of damage on the appropriate shipping form. After opening the carton, look for concealed damage, such as a cut cable.

Connecting the TempHion to a Computer Cabled sensors are terminated with a weather-resistant connector.
Installing Aqua4Plus Software If you buy your cabled sensor with a connector installed The TempHion comes with the Aqua4Plus host software (the normal configuration), no further wiring is needed. that is installed on your PC or laptop. Use this software to...
(Note: Some older TempHions may have more channels. If yours has more channels, refer to the documentation that came with the unit or contact Seametrics for more information.) All active channels can be calibrated in the field.
SETTINGS AND CALIBRATION TEMPHION INSTRUCTIONS General Calibration Information IMPORTANT CALIBRATION NOTES! The TempHion must be calibrated before first use and periodically thereafter. It should also be calibrated if moving Data Files • Calibration can only be done when to a different sampling environment where readings will there is no data stored on the sensor.
Seametrics recommends a 2 point calibration that brackets the expected pH range of your site. Note: If your TempHion has been stored dry, a 4 hour to overnight soak in pH 4 buffer is needed to recondition the pH bulb.
Use a Redox/ORP meter that is calibrated to your desired Redox/ORP scale to obtain this value. Place both the TempHion and the reference meter into your sample (ideally the waters the TempHion will be installed in). Once readings have stabilized note the value on the reference meter.
Seametrics recommends using a lab grade 100 mL flask for DI water and pipette for the NaBr solution. Place the TempHion in the standard and use it to stir the solution well. Allow a few minutes for temperature to equalize and readings to stabilize.
TEMPHION INSTRUCTIONS OPERATION Real-time Data Data Logging Connect to sensor and select the Real-time data tab Select Set Up Logging from the sensor screen. If there are no files currently on the sensor you’ll see the Set Up Logging button active under the Data Files tab as well as in the upper menu.

You must use Aqua4Plus to make baud rate changes. Data Format If needed, set your TempHion to the desired baud rate in The data is returned as 32-bit IEEE floating-point values, user settings. highword first, also referred to as big-endian or float inverse.
TEMPHION INSTRUCTIONS Reading via SDI-12 SDI-12 commands always return values for all four TempHion channels – temperature, pH, ORP, and ISE channels. Most TempHions are configured either as temperature, pH, and ORP or just temperature and Bromide. You will need to disregard the readings for the channel(s) you do not have configured on your unit.

We also recommend replacing the filling solution when Cable doing periodic calibrations. Cable can be damaged by abrasion, sharp objects, twisting, The TempHion is normally shipped with a bottle of crimping, crushing, or pulling. Take care during installation Seametrics Reference Solution. If you will be using a and use to avoid cable damage.
