HND-R106 model are compact and universally applicable measuring units for electrodes with BNC plug connection. An extensive selection of electrodes makes it possible to use the HND-R106 in almost all application areas. The KOBOLD HND-R105 measuring unit offers functions like minimum/maximum value...
2. If device is to be connected to other devices (e.g. via serial interface) the circuitry has to be designed most carefully. Internal connection in third party devices (e.g. connection GND and earth) may result in not-permissible voltages impairing or destroying the device or another device connected. page 6 HND-R106 K09/0422...

Turn device on via key. After segment test the device displays some information on its configuration: if zero point or slope correction is active (see chapter 13 Adjustment of temperature input) After that the device is ready for measuring. page 10 HND-R106 K09/0422...
The measurement is done with a common silver chloride electrode (reference system with 3-molar potassium chloride solution). The measured value can be directly displayed (mode mV) or converted to “reference system: standard hydrogen electrode” and temperature compensated at mode mVH. HND-R106 K09/0422 page 11...
2. Get the rH value: Connect ORP electrode and set device to rH measuring mode. The main display shows the calculated rH value of the solution, the secondary display shows the prior measured pH value and the temperature alternatingly. page 12 HND-R106 K09/0422...
Electrodes have to be stored in a way that they are kept wet. An adequate solution is to store them with suitable protective cap filled with KCl 3 M. Please consider also the instructions in the electrode’s manual! HND-R106 K09/0422 page 13...
(see below). When working with the standard or DIN-buffer series, the influences of buffer temperature are also compensated. If buffers are entered manually, make sure to enter the pH-values of the buffers at the relevant temperature to ensure optimum calibration of the device. page 14 HND-R106 K09/0422...

Place electrode and temperature probe (if any) in the second buffer solution (e.g. for standard series this is: pH 4.0 or pH 10.0) and stir gently. As soon as the measured pH value got stable the next calibration step will be displayed. HND-R106 K09/0422 page 15...

If the displayed value falls below the fixed value, the output voltage will be 0 V. In error case (Err.1, Err.2, etc.) the output voltage will be slightly higher than 1 V. Attention! plug wiring: The 3rd contact has to be left floating! Only stereo plugs are allowed! HND-R106 K09/0422 page 21...
Basic settings can only be checked and – if necessary – corrected by the manufacturer. A calibration protocol is enclosed to the device ex works. This documents the precision reached by the production process. page 24 HND-R106 K09/0422...
