I. INITIAL INSPECTION Carefully unpack the instrument and accessories. Inspect for damages made in shipment. If any damage is found, notify your Cole-Parmer representative immediately. All packing materials should be saved until satisfactory operation is confirmed. MOUNTING PROCEDURE 1. Make a cutout on any panel, with a thickness of 1/16 PANEL CUTOUT DIMENSIONS...
III. USING THE pH 550 A. FRONT PANEL NEED to crop out Jenco and Model no from picture below. 1. The [MODE /-] key. Main Display mode this key has no function. Calibration/Setting mode this key will move to the next digit of the current active parameter.
4a. During Calibration/Setting mode this key will decrement the blinking digit of the active parameter. 4b. During pH calibration, instead of SAVING the new pH Stand or Slope you can press this key to recalibrate the buffer again. ↵ 5. The [ ] ENTER key.
4.H1 (High action relay 1) or L1 (Low action relay 1) annunciator - this is the status of the pH Relay 1, if this is displayed then the Relay is ON. H1 means the relay action is HIGH while L1 means the relay action LOW.
1. Connect the AC line to the rear of the instrument. The model 550 can be used with 115 or 230VAC 50/60 Hz. Power consumption is 6 watts. Make sure the EARTH connector is connected to the earth lead of the AC power line. 2.
Shaking or moving the probes vigorously before recording any measurement will dislodge any bubbles formed in the probes. IV. MODEL pH 550 MODES A. MAIN DISPLAY MODE Turning ON the unit will always start in main display mode.
1. Temperature - current temperature of the solution. 2. pH - the current degree of acidity or alkalinity of the solution with automatic temperature compensation. B. CALIBRATION/SETTING MODE Pressing the [CAL/VIEW] key for about two seconds during main display mode will bring-up the first page of seven pages of the Calibration/Setting mode.
How to use the keys 1. At MAIN DISPLAY you need to press and hold the [CAL/VIEW] key for two seconds to change the display to VIEW SETTING PAGE or if the instrument is password locked the display will be PASSWORD CHECK page.
“PASSWORD LOCKED” going to Calibration/Setting mode will not affect the function of the relays. CAUTION: If the unit is not locked then every time the user enters the Calibration/Setting mode the relays and analog out will be frozen. b. USER SETTING page You will only see this page if the unit is not password locked.
2. BUFFER 2 - after you selected the buffer 1 this option will let you select the second buffer to use to calibrate the slope. You can choose 4.00 pH, 4.01 pH, 9.18 pH or 10.01 pH by using [ ] and [ ] keys ↵...

↵ 6. Press the [ ] key. A “WAIT” message will blink indicating that the instrument is waiting for a stable reading. The display will be locked to the buffer value corresponding to the temperature of buffer 1 (See IX. pH Buffers). When a stable reading is reached, the unit will blink a “SAVE”...
d. pH CONTROL SETTING 1. HI or LO RELAY 1 – The action for this relay can Programmable to High or Low control. If in HI-action the relay will turn ON when the pH is greater or equal to RELAY 1 set point, which is modified by the hysteresis value.
plot the output. (See chapter VI. 4-20 mA OUTPUT .) 3. TRANSMITTER OUTPUT – This option would let you choose if the current output type is linear or antilog. The current output detailed see section C. pH & TEMP. LINEAR CURRENT OUTPUT on page 20.
CONTROLLING THE RELAYS .) 4. RS 485 ID – this is the unique ID/Address for the unit. If you are connecting multiple model pH 550 or other Cole-Parmer models for logging purposes then this ID/Address must be unique for each connected unit.

Relay Effective RELAY-ON Effective RELAY-OFF Action Set Point Set Point S.P. S.P. – (H.V) HIGH S.P. +(H.V.) S.P. = Relay Set point H.V.= Hysteresis value (Dead Band) If the relay action is set to HIGH, the relay will turn ON at (SET POINT), and will turn OFF at (SET POINT-HYSTERISIS).
Note: The ideal set point range for pH is 0.00 to 16.00 pH. D. pH RELAYS There are three independent Alarm channels for pH display. (see figure 1.). The hysteresis value will be used by three pH relays. The action of the pH relays is dependent on set point, relay action type (HIGH or LOW), hysteresis value and the current pH display.

The pH mA output will produce a linear analog output if the user selects ‘LINEAR’ in pH mA SETTING page (see figure 2). The temperature mA output is always linear. The pH analog output is calculated using pH_4 mA setting, pH_20 mA setting and the current pH display.
