1.4. Transport, storage and disposal This product is subject to the “GENERAL RESEARCH, ADVICE, SALES, DELIVERY AND PAYMENT CONDITIONS OF SENDOT RESEARCH BV (deposited with no. 62488295 bij KvK Haaglanden)”. It can be downloaded from www.sendot.nl.
For the installation of a digital or analog sensor, please read the included installation sheet. 2.2. Type probe Stainless steel probe The FluoMini Pro Optical pH Sensor is provided with a stainless steel probe with an outer diameter of 6 mm. 2.3. Connections 2.3.1.
2.3.3. Analog sensor The sensor can be connected to a Windows or Android system by means of a USB cable. A battery is not included, so the sensor has to be attached to a power source via the USB port for use.
2.4. Display and buttons In the picture below the basic sensor screen is shown, as well as the buttons with their names as being used in this manual. Battery Measurement indicator Measured pH Measurement unit Menu/Exit button With this button the main menu can be entered and every menu can be quit. The feature of this button is always visible on the display (bottom left).
3. Measuring with the FluoMini Pro Optical pH Sensor 3.1. Measurement principle The measurement with the FluoMini Pro Optical pH Sensor is based on a pH sensitive active component integrated in a hydrophilic polymer coating. The integrated pH sensitive component contains an indicator molecule having different optical behaviour in protonated and deprotonated state.
3.3. Measurements Apply the probe to the medium to be measured. For measurements in substrates, always use the probe support and pre-drill to avoid damages on the coating. Therefore, first apply the probe support at the desired position, make a hole using the pre-drill and carefully stick in the probe until the bottom of the hole.
4. Settings 4.1. Main menu The main menu can be entered by pressing the Menu/Exit button. The screen with the different setting options will be opened. The main menu consist of four submenus: <General settings>, <Logger settings>, <Sensor settings>, and <System info>. To navigate towards any menu use the Up and Down buttons and enter a submenu with the Measure/Enter button.
4.2.2. Power management In this menu, the standby mode can be turned on and off. Default, this function is turned on, so the sensor will turn into standby mode after 30 sec. 1. Open the menu <General settings>. 2. Open the menu <Power management>. 3.
the measurements can be set or the stored data erased. Use the Up and Down buttons to navigate to the desired submenu. To enter a submenu press the Measure/Enter button. Remark: If the sensor is in logging mode, it is not possible to communicate with the sensor through an external device, e.g.
1. Open the menu <Logger settings>. 2. Open the menu <Interval time>. 3. Use the Up and Down buttons to change the value. 4. Use the Measure/Enter button (Next) to navigate to the next position in time (hh:mm:ss). 5. Confirm the setting and close menu with the Measure/Enter button. 4.3.3.
4.4.1. Transmitter On/Off In this menu, the transmitter function can be turn on and off. 1. Open the menu <Transmitter settings>. 2. Open the menu <Transmitter On/Off>. 3. Use the Up and Down buttons to choose the desired setting. 4. Confirm the setting with the Measure/Enter button (Set).
4. Confirm the value with the Measure/Enter button (Set). A signal will be send to the external device, which is translating it into pH. 5. Compare this value with the pH on the external device. Here, 4 – 20 mA are translated to pH 2 –...
1. Open the menu <Sensor settings>. 2. Open the menu <Calibrate> 3. Place probe into pH 4 buffer and wait for 1 min to stabilize. Stirring is advisable for fast stabilisation. 4. Press the Measure/Enter button (Start) and follow the instructions on the display.
5. Confirm settings and close the menu with the Measure/Enter button. 4.5.3. Measurement setting For the FluoMini Pro Optical pH Sensor this function is not applicable. 4.6. System info The menu System info contains information about the FluoMini type, the installed firmware, the battery voltage and the baud rate necessary to communicate with the sensor.
3. If the sensor still not reacts, the sensor can be reset to factory settings by pressing the Up and Down button at the same time for 30 sec. 4. If there is still no response, please contact Sendot Research via phone (+31 (0)30- 636-8477) or e-mail ((info@sendot.nl).
