Intended Use The module is used for simultaneous pH and temperature measurement with Pfaudler differential probes. The PH 3400X-033 module is intended for operation in locations subject to explosion hazards which require equipment of Group II, device category 2(1), gas/dust.
• In hazardous locations the device shall only be cleaned with a damp cloth to prevent electrostatic charging. Maintenance The Protos modules cannot be repaired by the user. For inquiries regarding module repair, please contact Knick Elektronische Messgeräte GmbH & Co. KG at www.knick.de.

Terminal Plate PH 3400-033 Module Attaching the terminal plates The terminal plates of the lower modules can be sticked to the inner side of the door. This facilitates maintenance and service.
Installing the Module CAUTION! Electrostatic discharge (ESD). The modules' signal inputs are sensitive to electrostatic discharge. Take measures to protect against ESD before inserting the module and wiring the inputs. Note: Strip the insulation from the wires using a suitable tool to prevent dam- age.
Calibration / Adjustment Note: Function check (HOLD) active for the currently calibrated module Current outputs and relay contacts behave as configured • Calibration: Detecting deviations without readjustment • Adjustment: Detecting deviations with readjustment NOTICE! Without adjustment every pH meter delivers an imprecise or wrong output value! Every pH electrode has its individual zero point and its individual slope.

Calibration / Adjustment Calibration methods One-point calibration The electrode is calibrated with one buffer solution only. Here, only the electrode zero point is detected and taken into account by the Protos. One-point calibration is appropriate and permissible whenever the measured values lie near the electrode zero point so that slope changes do not have much of an impact.

Calimatic automatic buffer recognition Automatic Buffer Recognition (Calimatic) Automatic calibration using Knick Calimatic is performed with one, two, or three buffer solutions. Protos automatically detects the nominal buffer value on the basis of the electrode potential and the measured temperature. Any sequence of buffer solutions is possible, but they must belong to the buffer set defined during parameter setting.

Calibration / Adjustment Calibration with manual entry of buffer values Calibration with Manual Entry of Buffer Values Calibration with manual entry of buffer values is performed with one, two or three buffer solutions. Protos displays the measured temperature. You must then enter the temperature-corrected buffer values. To do so, refer to the buffer table (e.g.

Calibration / Adjustment Product calibration Product Calibration (Calibration with Sampling) When the electrode cannot be removed – e.g. for sterility reasons – its zero point can be determined with “sampling”. To do so, the currently measured pro- cess value is stored by the Protos. Immediately afterwards, you take a sample from the process.

Isothermal potential The isothermal intersection point is the point of intersection between two cali- bration lines at two different temperatures. The potential difference between the electrode zero point and this intersection point is the isothermal potential “Viso“. It may cause measurement errors depending on the temperature. These errors can be compensated for by defining the“Viso“...
Calibration / Adjustment Determination of nominal zero NOTICE! After having determined the nominal zero point of a Pfaudler probe, it is absolutely necessary to perform a two-point calibration/adjustment!

Calibration / Adjustment Temp Probe Adjustment Note: With Protos II 4400(X) in the Calibration menu, with Protos 3400(X) in the Maintenance menu. Temp Probe Adjustment This function allows compensating for the individual temperature probe tol- erance and the influence of the lead resistances to increase the accuracy of temperature measurement.
Parameter Setting CAUTION! Incorrect parameter setting, calibration or adjustment may result in incorrect measurements being recorded. Protos must therefore be commissioned by a system specialist, all its parameters must be set, and it must be fully adjusted. NOTICE! The "function check” (HOLD) mode is active during parameter setting. The behavior of the current outputs depends on the parameter setting, i.e., they may be frozen at the last measurement or set to a fixed value.
