I. GENERAL INTRODUCTION The Jenco Model 6308PT (pH and Temperature) System is a rugged microprocessor based instrument assembled in a watertight ¼ DIN case, designed for use in laboratories and process control applications. The model 6308PT microprocessor allows the user to easily recalibrate the parameters for the probes.
II. INITIAL INSPECTION Carefully unpack the instrument and accessories. Inspect for damages made in shipment. If any damage is found, notify your Jenco 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 in.
III. USING THE JENCO MODEL 6308 PT A. FRONT PANEL 1. The [MODE / -- ] key. 1a. In Main Display mode this key has no function. 1b. In Calibration/Setting mode this key will move to the next digit of the current active parameter.
During Calibration/Setting mode this key will increment the current blinking digit of the active parameter. " 4. The [ ] DOWN key. 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.
AC power supply. 1. Connect the AC line to the rear of the instrument. The model 6308PT can be used with 115 or 230VAC 50/60 Hz. Power consumption is 6 watt. Make sure the EARTH connector is...

2. Connect the proper load to the output relays. Make sure that the load does not exceed the relay rating, 5 Amp at 115VAC and 2.5 Amp at 230 VAC. 3. Set the proper load to the 4-20mA output connector. Make sure that the load impedance is less than 500 Ohms.
D. TURNING ON/OFF THE INSTRUMENT By just plugging the unit to a correct AC voltage the unit will be ready for use. There is no Power key so unplugging and plugging the unit will turn OFF or turn ON the unit respectively. After the unit is turned on, it will perform some...
IV. MODEL 6308 PT MODES A. MAIN DISPLAY MODE Turning ON the unit will always start in main display mode. This instrument is designed to provide 2 distinct measurements: 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 2 seconds during main display mode will bring-up the first page of 6 pages of the Calibration/Setting mode. Pressing [CAL/VIEW] key will switch to the next page until the last page, where pressing [CAL/VIEW] again will return the user to main display mode.
a. CHECK PASSWORD page You will only see this page if the unit is password locked. To change any settings or calibration you need to unlock the system to remove the “PASSWORD LOCKED” message. You need to enter the correct 4-digit number on the “ENTER PASSWORD”...
c. pH CALIBRATION page ATC TEMP. – the current temperature of the solution. 1. BUFFER 1 - in this option you can select which buffer to use for the standardization calibration. You can choose 7.00 pH or 6.86 " pH by using the [ ] and [ ] keys ↵...

the display. Once the display is halted changing the input or temperature will not change the “STAND” pH display. If there are ↵ no problems a flashing “SAVE” will be displayed. Pressing the [ ENTER key will save the new OFFSET of the pH probe or pressing "...
We recommend that you use a new electrode, If the electrode efficiency is lower than 80%. d. pH CONTROL SETTING page HI RELAY 1 - The action for this relay is fixed to HIGH. In HI- action the relay will turn ON if the pH is greater or equal to RELAY 1 value, which is modified by the hysteresis value and hysteresis...
↵ [MODE/--] key to select another digit and the [ ] key to save the new value. 5. HYSTERESIS (mode) -this is the hysteresis mode for pH RELAY 1 to RELAY 4. You can choose CENTER” or “EDGE”. (See chapter V. CONTROLLING THE RELAYS.) 6.
CONTROLLING THE RELAYS .) 5. RS 485 ID – this is the unique ID/Address for the unit. If you are connecting multiple model 6308PT or other Jenco models for logging purposes then this ID/Address must be unique for each connected unit. This ID/Address is the same address that must be used by the PC program to communicate with this unit.
B. OUTPUT LOAD The current through the relay output contacts should not exceed 5 Amp at 115 VAC and 2.5 Amp at 230 VAC in order not to cause permanent damage to the relay contacts. This rating is specified for resistive loads only.
There are four independent Alarm channels display. (see figure 1.). The hysteresis mode (center or edge, see figure 1.) and hysteresis value will be used by both pH relays. The action of the relays is dependent on set point, relay action type (HIGH or LOW), hysteresis...
The analog output will produce a linear analog output if the user selects this option (see figure 2). The analog output will be dependent on the pH_4 mA setting, pH_20 mA setting and the current pH display. The pH LINEAR analog output is based on the following equation : = 4mA+(16mA)*(D - pH(4) ) / (pH(20) - pH(4)) (pH)
will be dependent on the pH _4 mA setting, pH _20 mA setting and the current pH display. The pH ANTILOG analog output is based on the following equation : = 4mA + (16mA) * (10^ - 10^ ) / (10^ D(pH) pH(4) pH(20)
