High concentrations of sodium ions interfere with readings in alkaline solutions. The pH at which the interference starts to be significant depends upon the composition of the glass. This interference is called alkaline error and causes the pH to be underestimated. Hanna Instruments’s glass formulations have the indicated characteristics.
11. mV & TEMPERATURE CALIBRATION (for technical personnel only) The meter is factory calibrated for mV and temperature. Hanna Instruments’s temperature probes are interchangeable and no temperature calibration is needed after probe replacement. If temperature or ORP measurements are not accurate, follow instruction below or contact your local Hanna Instruments Office.

9. Press ESC key to return to measurement mode. Notes: If the reading is not within range of the selected calibration point, “WRONG” tag will blink. Verify calibration condition or contact your local Hanna Instruments Office. Press CAL or ESC during calibration to return to measurement mode.
12. MEASUREMENT 12.1. pH MEASUREMENT To take a pH measurement remove the electrode protective cap and simply submerge the tip of the electrode (4 cm/1½”) into the sample to be tested. Press RANGE key until the display changes to the pH range, if necessary. Press MODE key to select the pH resolution.
If manual temperature compensation (MTC) is desired, the temperature probe must be disconnected from the instrument. The display will show the default temperature of 25 °C, the last measured temperature reading, or the last set temperature, with the MTC status. The MTC tag and the symbol light up to indicate that the instrument is in MTC mode.
12.4. ISE MEASUREMENT To perform ion concentration measurements: 1. Connect an ISE electrode (not supplied) and the corresponding reference (if necessary) to the instrument and turn it ON. 2. Press RANGE to enter ISE mode (until the display changes to ISE range). 3.
13. GOOD LABORATORY PRACTICE (GLP) GLP (Good Laboratory Practice) is a set of functions that allows storage and retrieval of data regarding electrode status and maintenance. Last pH, relative mV and ISE calibration data are automatically stored after a successful calibration. To recall data, when in measurement mode, press the GLP key.
14. LOGGING 14.1. LOGGING THE CURRENT DATA From measurement mode, press Log functional key to store current reading. Stored record number and available log space are displayed for a few seconds. If log space is full, “Log space is full” is displayed for a few seconds. 14.2.
