5 | Bases for measurement G 1500 5 Bases for measurement 5.1 pH measurement 5.1.1 Explanation The pH value describes the acidic or alkaline behaviour of an aqueous solution. A pH value below 7 is acidic, a value above 7 is alkaline. A pH value of 7 is neutral.
G 1500 Bases for measurement | 5 5.1.3 Design 1. Coaxial cable 2. Reference electrode 3. Measuring electrode 4. Refill opening 5. Electrolyte 6. Internal buffer 7. Diaphragm 8. Glass membrane / source layer Fig. 5: pH electrode The diaphragm, which establishes a connection between the electrolyte and the liquid to be measured, can be designed in different ways.
5 | Bases for measurement G 1500 – GE 100 BNC is a universal electrode with two ceramic diaphragms and liquid elec- trolyte. – GE 101 BNC is preferably used for small sample amounts. It comprises a glass electrode with two ceramic diaphragms and liquid electrolyte.

6 | Operation and maintenance G 1500 6 Operation and maintenance 6.1 Operating and maintenance notices NOTE The product and electrode must be handled with care and used in accordance with the technical data. Do not throw or strike. NOTE Plugs and sockets must be protected from soiling.
G 1500 Operation and maintenance | 6 CAUTION Damage! If the batteries have different charge levels, leaks and thus damage to the product can occur. – Use new, high-quality batteries! – Do not use different types of batteries! – Remove depleted batteries and dispose of them at a suitable collection point!

G 1500 Operation and maintenance | 6 NOTE Measure the temperature of the buffer solution with a thermometer. The exact value of the buffer solution is temperature dependent and can be determined based on the tables provided. NOTE Always use fresh buffer solutions! 6.3.1.2 Buffer solutions...
Page 20
6 | Operation and maintenance G 1500 NOTE Automatic calibration can also be carried out with the pre-mixed PHL buffer solutions. Since the temperature compensation relates to the GPH capsules, an error of a few hundredths pH should be taken into account, depending on the temperature. Refer also to the differences in the tables of the buffer solutions in Buffer solutions [} p. 19].

G 1500 Operation and maintenance | 6 4. Enter the temperature of the buffer solution by pressing the Up button and Down button and confirm the entry by pressing the Function key again. 5. The PK.OF parameter appears in the display.
6 | Operation and maintenance G 1500 Outcome of an action After successful completion of the calibration the assessment of the electrode condi- tion is displayed briefly in percent. Then, the current measurement is shown in the dis- play again. A low value can be the result of the age of the electrode, contaminated or old buffer solutions or impurities on the BNC connector.
