  • Page 17: Keys

    Part 5 – Operation PQ45P pH System 4.71 Keys All user configurations occur through the use of four membrane keys. These keys are used as follows: MENU/ESC To scroll through the menu section headers or to escape from anywhere in software. The escape sequence allows the user to back out of any changes in a logical manner.

  • Page 18: Software

    Part 5 – Operation PQ45P pH System Icon Area The icon area contains display icons that assist the user in set-up and indicate important states of system functions. The CAL, CONFIG, and DIAG icons are used to tell the user what branch of the software tree the user is in while scrolling through the menu items.

  • Page 19: Software Navigation

    Part 5 – Operation PQ45P pH System 4.81 Software Navigation Within the CAL, CONFIG, CONTROL, and DIAG menu sections is a list of selectable items. Once a menu section (such as CONFIG) has been selected with the MENU key, the user can access the item list in this section by pressing either the ENTER key or the UP arrow key.

    Part 5 – Operation PQ45P pH System 4.82 Measure Menu [MEASURE] The default menu for the system is the display-only menu MEASURE. This menu is a display-only measurement menu, and has no changeable list items. When left alone, the instrument will automatically return to this menu after approximately 30 minutes.

    Part 5 – Operation PQ45P pH System Cal Temp The temperature calibration function allows the user to adjust the offset of the temperature response by a small factor of ±5°C. The temperature input is factory calibrated to very high accuracy. However, long cable lengths and junction boxes may degrade the accuracy of the temperature measurement in some extreme situations.
  • Page 23 This is a multiple variable function that allows the user to choose which pH buffer sets that will be utilized in the 2-point calibration mode. The PQ45P contains 3 sets of built-in buffer tables with compensation values ranging from 0 to 95 °C. During 2-point calibration, the instrument will automatically identify which buffer is being used and compensate for the value based on the built-in tables.

  • Page 26 Part 5 – Operation PQ45P pH System Faults are not stored; therefore, they are immediately removed if power is cycled. If the problem causing the faults still exists, however, faults will be displayed again after power is re-applied and a period of time elapses during which the diagnostic system re-detects them.

  • Page 27: Part 5 - Calibration

    Part 5 – Calibration Overview and Methods Since the sensor slope (mV/pH output) will degrade over time, the instrument must be calibrated periodically to maintain a high degree of measurement accuracy. Frequency of calibration must be determined by the application. High temperature applications or applications involving extreme pH operating conditions may require more frequent calibration than those that operate at more neutral pH levels and ambient level temperatures.

  • Page 28: 2-Point Calibration Explained

    Part 7 – DataLogger PQ45P pH System 5.13 2-Point Calibration Explained The 2-point calibration method involves the movement of the sensor through two known pH buffer values. Therefore, the sensor must be removed from the application to utilize this method. Two- point calibration adjusts both the slope and the offset of the sensor.

  • Page 34: Part 7 - System Maintenance

    Part 7 – System Maintenance General The PQ45P pH Monitoring System will generally provide unattended operation over long periods of time. With proper care, the system should continue to provide measurements indefinitely. For reliable operation, maintenance on the system must be done on a regular schedule. Keep in mind that preventive maintenance on a regular schedule is much less troublesome than emergency maintenance that always seems to come at the wrong time.
