  • Page 5: Section 1 Product Overview

    Section 1 Product overview The Intellical PHC301 series pH probes are digital, combination electrodes that measure the pH of wastewater, drinking water and general water samples. The probes are refillable and have a built-in temperature sensor and a double ceramic pin for a reference junction. A 28-mL bottle of reference electrolyte filling solution is supplied with the probe.

    Section 7 Verify the calibration Measure the pH value of a fresh pH buffer solution to make sure the result is accurate. The meter compares the selected pH buffer value to the measured pH value and accepts or rejects the measurement.
  • Page 13: Section 8 Maintenance

    Section 8 Maintenance Regular maintenance is necessary for the best accuracy, stabilization time and life of the probe. Keep the probe in the recommended storage solution between measurements. 8.1 Clean the probe Clean the probe regularly to remove contamination and to keep the reference junction open. Symptoms of contamination: •...
  • Page 14: Fill The Probe

    8.2 Fill the probe Add electrolyte filling solution to the probe regularly to make sure that the electrolyte flows from the probe to the sample. Refer to Figure 4. Make sure to use the correct filling solution (3 M KCl saturated with AgCl).
  • Page 15: Storage

    N O T I C E Probes can become permanently damaged if kept in a storage solution that is not specified by the manufacturer. Use only the specified storage solution (Hach pH electrode storage solution or 3 M KCl). Do not store the probe in deionized water or in samples of low ionic strength. For short-term storage, the probe can stay in the sample for a maximum of 2 hours if the sample pH is not high.
  • Page 16: Section 9 Troubleshooting

    Section 9 Troubleshooting Keep the probe clean and in the recommended storage solution when not in use for the best accuracy, stabilization time and life of the probe. Problem Possible cause Solution The glass sensor is dirty. Clean and condition the probe. Refer to Clean the probe on page 11.
