Overview The SK-650PH pH meter is a desktop type pH meter having a sensitivity display function that can check the deterioration state of sensor. Sensor arm that is convenient to use stirrer is equipped. Features Sensitivity display function Sensitivity display function can check the deterioration state of sensor. This is very useful to determine the timing of the maintenance and exchange of sensor.

(3) Make sure that the reading is stable (READY is lit), and then read the values. * About the stability indication function: With the SK-650PH, the READY indicator lights up to indicate that the reading has become stable. For details, refer to "Stability indication function".
Page 11
* About the display of the electromotive force: With the SK-650PH, the pH and mV (electromotive force) display modes can be switched. Choose either mode as necessary. Press the key in the measurement mode to switch between the pH and mV display modes.

1. Transmitting the recorded data (P1.0) The data recorded on the unit can be transmitted to a computer. For details about setting the parameters or connecting to the RS-232C, refer to "Realtime communications" . (1) Press the key in the measurement mode to select either the pH display mode or the mV display mode.

* What is asymmetric potential difference? Inside the electrode, the inner solution of pH 7 is charged. The potential difference is theoretically "0" when the solution of pH 7 is measured. In reality, however, certain potential difference is produced due to the distortion of the sensor or the condition of the glass membrane.

In the realtime communications, the unit outputs data on pH, mV, temperature or time in any display mode. The temperature is output using the previously set unit (°C or °F). Note: The SK-650PH does not come with the communications or analysis software. It is recommended that you prepare your own software.

(1) While the unit is off, connect the RS-232C connection cable to the RS-232C port on the back of the unit. (2) Insert the 9-pin connector of the RS-232C connection cable into the serial port (9 pin) on the computer. (3) Press the key to turn on the unit.

About the glass electrode (1) Storage If left unused for a long time, the glass electrode becomes too dry to measure the pH accurately. The pH electrode works best and shows accurate readings when used with moderate moisture. When using the instrument for the first time after purchasing or a long storage period, we recommend placing the glass electrode in water (distilled, pure or tap water) or the pH standard solution for at least 12 hours and performing calibration before measuring.
Error Messages If an error occurs, one of error codes listed below will be displayed on the LCD. Error Description Action Item codes The measured value is exceeded Use the unit within the measuring range. Otherwise, display range sensor may be damaged .
