    - 5 - 3. What is the meter designed for Waterproof pH meter CP-411 is precise and easy-to-use meter designed for hydrogen ion concentration measurements in pH units and redox in mV units. The meter may be also used for accurate temperature measurement in solutions and air in °...
  • Page 12: The Outside View

    - 6 - 4. The outside view On the front wall of the meter there is an LCD display (Pic. 1) which, depending on the chosen function, shows: - the pH readout in pH units; - the redox potential readout in mV. Choosing functions is described in the chapter 6.1.

  • Page 14: Switching The Meter On And Off

    - 8 - 5. Switching the meter on and off After switching it on with the button, the meter tests the memory and the display on which all symbols are displayed (pic. 2). Pic. 2. If the test ends successfully, after about 1.5 s the meter switches automatically to the measuring mode, in which it was switched off.
  • Page 15: Preparation To Work

    - 9 - 6. Preparation to work Before starting work: connect the power adapter plug to the P input, if work with the power adapter is planned; in case of pH measurements join the combination pH electrode to BNC- 50 input F; in case of using a measuring and reference electrode connect them the adapter, available optionally;...
  • Page 16: Choosing The Kind Of Temperature Compensation

    - 10 - 6.2. Choosing the kind of temperature compensation The meter switches to the automatic temperature compensation mode after connecting the temperature probe. Next to the reading the symbol is displayed (pic. 4). The measurement will be compensated to the value of temperature measured by the probe.

    - 13 - 7. Preparation of the pH electrode The electrode should be prepared to work according to the manufacturer’s instructions. If the instructions weren’t given please follow the steps: - new electrode should be put into saturated KCl solution for about 5 hours: - before starting measurements, protecting rings (if used in this kind of electrode) should be removed.
  • Page 20: Calibration

    - 14 - 8. Calibration Before starting measurement with new electrode, after long-lasting use or before making measurements which require high accuracy the electrode connected with the meter should be calibrated. Results of measurements made without calibration will be burdened with a significant error. Calibration is made in buffer solutions.

    - 16 - 8.2. Calibration with manual temperature compensation Disconnecting the temperature probe switches the meter to manual compensation (the symbol next to the temperature reading disappears). The value of the temperature introduced by the user will be adopted for compensation.
  • Page 23 - 17 - - press the button once again, in the lower row the symbol will be displayed and the percentage value of the electrode condition - in the upper row. (Pic. 8); Pic. 8 In the lower left corner of the display the points of the electrode calibration are shown.
  • Page 24: Ph Measurement

    - 18 - pH measurement Before starting measurement, prepare the meter (chapter 6) and the pH electrode (chapter 7) to work. Good condition of the electrode is the most important condition for accurate measurements. 10.1. Measurement with automatic temperature compensation During measurements with automatic temperature compensation the meter co-operates with the temperature probe and measures the temperature of the solution simultaneously with pH.
  • Page 25: Measurements With Manual Temperature Compensation

    - 19 - 10.2. Measurements with manual temperature compensation Disconnecting the temperature probe switches the meter to the manual temperature compensation mode (the symbol next to the temperature reading disappears). Measurement with manual temperature compensation is similar to measurement with ATC, the difference is that in manual compensation the meter takes into consideration the value of the temperature introduced by the user instead of the temperature measured with the temperature probe.
  • Page 26: Notices About The Temperature Compensation And Interpretation Of The Measurement Results

    - 20 - Notices about the temperature compensation and interpretation of the measurement results The CP-411 pH meter has an automatic temperature compensation, which enables eliminating errors resulting from affecting electrode characteristics by temperature changes. To explain the role of the temperature compensation it is important to remind that pH meter is an mV meter which displays redox counted to pH.
  • Page 27 - 21 - Depending on the kind of measured solution or substance, appropriate kind of electrode should be chosen. They differ one from another with shape, membrane’s look, kind of junction and body. Electrode for heavily polluted sewage is different than this for clean water or for meat or soil. Using unsuitable electrode for measurements may cause its damage and make next measurements impossible.
