pHix® Compact V3. NG (next generation) EN 4.10 Version 2103 Cutting the signal cable The cable comes with stripped wire ends ready for mounting. pHix® Compact uncut cable-end with one, respectively two, signal outputs. Extending the signal cable There are no specific demands to the cable that may be used for extending the existing cable, except that it should be shielded and that the voltage drop should not be too big.
pHix® Compact V3. NG (next generation) EN 4.10 Version 2103 Note! pHix® Compact is a passive transmitter. Considerations should be taken regarding the voltage drop over the signal cable. The supply voltage on the site must not drop below 10 V DC at maximum current (20 mA.) In order not to compromise operational reliability, the cables should be interconnected by means of a watertight connection box (item no.
pHix® Compact V3. NG (next generation) EN 4.10 Version 2103 Buffer adjustment In order to ensure a precise and stable pH measurement, pHix® Compact must be buffer adjusted with regular intervals. Buffer adjustment is carried out in practice by dipping pHix® Compact in solutions (buffers) with known pH values. The calibration is made by using these known pH values as a reference points.
pHix® Compact V3. NG (next generation) EN 4.10 Version 2103 then to slope and zero point. Existing buffer adjustments are deleted once new buffer adjustments is completed. It is needed that pHix, the electrode and the buffer solutions are at the same temperature during adjustment to get a correct slope and zero point.
pHix® Compact V3. NG (next generation) EN 4.10 Version 2103 buffer solutions as possible, i.e. to ensure that a pH 7 buffer solution in fact has a pH value of exactly 7. MJK delivers buffer solutions for both pH and redox calibration. The pH value of the buffer solution is dependent of the temperature, and the stated pH value is valid at 77°...
pHix® Compact V3. NG (next generation) EN 4.10 Version 2103 Use only fresh buffer solutions! Dispose of any used buffer solution. Observe that transmitter, electrode and buffer solution has the same temperature - preferably app. 77° F / 25° C. Buffer adjustment using the switch ring Remember to clean the electrode as described in the previous section! When the switch ring has been on for at least 10 minutes, it will only be possible to buffer adjust pHix®...
pHix® Compact V3. NG (next generation) EN 4.10 Version 2103 Example of buffer adjustment in pH 4 and 7 With the switch ring in position M, flush the electrode tip in water. Carefully, wipe of the electrode tip with a cloth. Never use materials that can scratch the measuring lens.
pHix® Compact V3. NG (next generation) EN 4.10 Version 2103 Buffer adjustment in pH 7 buffer. Buffer adjustment in pH 10 buffer. Buffer adjustment using the tilt switch Remember to clean the electrode as described earlier! Only the built-in tilt switch is active when the switch ring has been removed for more than 10 minutes.
pHix® Compact V3. NG (next generation) EN 4.10 Version 2103 If pHix® Compact is dipped into a buffer solution with a value of 4, 7 or 10 pH, pHix® Compact automatically searches for a buffer with one of those values. When the correct value is found, the zero point or span will automatically be set to the right value.
pHix® Compact V3. NG (next generation) EN 4.10 Version 2103 Maintenance A pH or redox measuring system requires maintenance with regular intervals. Cleaning and buffer adjustment (calibration) is a normal and necessary maintenance that should be carried out regularly. Intervals The interval between buffer adjustments and cleaning depends widely on the working conditions.
pHix® Compact V3. NG (next generation) EN 4.10 Version 2103 Cleaning of the electrode Use clean drinking water for cleaning the electrode. A 10% hydrochloric acid solution can be used for cleaning if the electrodes are greasy. Protein coatings are removed with Pepsin cleaning fluid.
