- 3 - 1. Exploitation notices Dear User! We present you a device distinguished by accuracy according to the technical data and by a high stability of the displayed results. We believe that the measurements will not cause you any trouble and that the meter will operate without any inconvenience.
- 4 - 2. Characteristics of the meter The CP-511 pH meter belongs to the newest generation of measuring devices which offer wide range of additional functions. The meter ensures high accuracy and repeatability of the readings and is easy in use.
° C. Depending on the type of applied pH electrode, the CP-511 pH meter is being used in food, chemical, pharmaceutical and power industries, in water treatment stations, laboratories, agriculture, universities, scientific laboratories etc.
The CAL symbol in the left on the display signalises that the meter is in the calibration mode. In the MODE mode it is possible to check the electrode parameters verified during the last calibration. User‘s manual for CP-511 pH meter v1.10...

- 9 - 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. 3). Pic. 3. If the test ends successfully, after about 1.5 s the meter switches automatically to the measuring mode, in which it was switched off.
(the symbol disappears and the symbol appears). At the same time the buttons will be unlocked, what enables the temperature value changing. Note: pressing buttons simultaneously will compensation temperature to 20 User‘s manual for CP-511 pH meter v1.10...
- 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.
2 buffer solutions: 4.00 and 7.00 pH is recommended, in case of alkali measurements calibration in 7.00 and 10.00 pH buffers is advisable. In CP-511 the slope of the electrode is approximated in segments between the calibration points. Starting the calibration process irreversibly erases the calibration data stored in the memory.
- 15 - 8.1. Calibration with automatic temperature compensation After preparing the meter to calibration according to the chapter 6, in the pH measurement function: a. press and hold the button till the moment of appearance of the CAL symbol on the display (Pic. 5), the previous parameters of calibration are now deleted;...
Next, connect the pH electrode to the meter and act accordingly to the points a ÷ c of the previous subchapter. Pic. 5 User‘s manual for CP-511 pH meter v1.10...
- 17 - 9. The electrode parameters readout After the pH electrode has been calibrated, it is possible to check its condition: zero offset and slope. To check, in the pH measurement mode: - press the button, in the lower display row the symbol willl apear, the upper row will show the electrode’s zero offset (Pic.
Page 24
One-point calibration enables to indicate only the zero offset of the electrode. Instead of the slope value lines are displayed (Pic. 9). Pic. 8 Return to the measurement mode by pressing the button. User‘s manual for CP-511 pH meter v1.10...
- 19 - 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 cooperates with the temperature probe and measures the temperature of the solution simultaneously with pH.
- wait till the value stabilises and read the result (Pic. 10) Pic. 10 Note: pressing buttons simultaneously will compensation temperature to 20 User‘s manual for CP-511 pH meter v1.10...
- 21 - Notices about the temperature compensation and interpretation of the measurement results The CP-511 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.

Slight differences of the results are connected with the accuracy of the meter. The accuracy of CP-511 is ±0,01 pH, ±1 digit, what practically means that in extreme conditions results of two measurements of the same solution may differ in ±0,05 pH. This is an acceptable error, because one result has error equal –...
- 25 - Redox potential measurement CP-511 enables redox potential measurement. The measurement may be made with use of special redox electrode or during titration. The readout is possible after choosing the redox measurement mode by pressing the button. Pic. 11...
