For manual temperature specification (no temperature probe connected), the temperature is set using During buffer selection, you can select the buffer set using Pressing cal + on/off when the meter is switched off, on/off activates buffer selection. When pressing two keys at the same time, make sure that Note the key shown at the left is pressed first. - Page 12 Connection Connection ......Socket assignment Combination electrode ......Single measuring electrode .
- Page 13 Note The temperature probe is only recognized during the power-on procedure after pressing on/off. The meter can also be switched on with meas. However, Note in this case only a short test is performed and the tempera- ture probe is not determined. The meter assumes that the last temperature probe determined is used.

- Page 16 For manual buffer specification (AutCal off), the pH value of the buffer solution must be entered for the correct tem- perature. This allows calibration using any other buffer solution. Three-point You can choose whether you want to perform three-point calibration calibration in addition to one- or two-point calibration.

Page 17: Calibration
Calibration By calibration the pH meter is adjusted to zero point and slope of the electrode used. For calibrations and measurements at temperatures other Note than room temperature, the following must always be ob- served: Not only the buffer solution and the measured medium, but also the electrode must be brought to the corresponding temperature before the calibration is started or the mea- sured value is read. - Page 18 During buffer recognition the lower line indicates the tem- perature. The hour glass flashes. The nominal value of the recognized buffer solution is dis- played for approx. 5 s. Electrode and temperature probe must remain in the first buffer solution until the display prompts for the second buffer.
- Page 19 With three-point calibration turned on (3P-CAL On), you can now evaluate a third buffer solution. For two-point calibration, press meas to terminate the calibration. The meter then shows the newly determined zero point in the main display and the new slope in the lower display and returns to pH measuring mode.
- Page 20 The electrode stability is checked and the measured mV value displayed. Stability check can be overridden with cal. However, this reduces calibration accuracy. Calibration with the first buffer is complete. Remove elec- trode and temperature probe from the first buffer solution and rinse off both thoroughly.
- Page 21 At the end of the calibration the zero point and slope (based on 25 °C) of the electrode are displayed. Then the meter switches back to measuring mode. Converting slope % –> mV/pH mV/pH mV/pH 46.2 53.9 46.8 54.5 47.4 55.1 48.0 55.6...

ZERO Zero and slope of the electrode are still okay, however the electrode should be maintained or replaced soon. Zero and/or slope of the electrode have reached val- ues which no longer ensure proper calibration.

Maintenance Changing If the battery symbol appears in the display, the batteries batteries need replacement. However, you can still use the meter for a few days. When the battery voltage decreases further, the meter switches off. Close the meter protection cover and remove the elec- trode container. -

Page 33: General Information On Measurement
4 General Information on Measurement Note The chapter “General Information on Measurement” pro- vides a summary of the most important points to be ob- served during pH measurement. You can skip this chapter if you are sufficiently familiar with the practice of pH mea- surement. - Page 34 Calimatic In the Portamess 911 pH the chart values of various automatic buffer sets are stored for the correct temperatures. Simply calibration select and enter the buffer set once when commissioning the meter (see Pg. 9). Then the patented Calimatic will calibrate the meter at the press of a key.
- Page 35 Calibration The calibration interval is highly dependent on the condi- intervals tions under which measurements are taken. As a result, no generally valid interval can be given here. However, the calibration can be repeated frequently at the beginning. If the calibration values (electrode zero and slope) show only minor differences, the time between cal- ibrations can be increased.

The pH values of the buffer solutions should differ by solutions at least two pH units and bracket the expected measured value.
- Page 37 Today combination electrodes are commonly used due to Electrodes the simpler handling involved. When using combination electrodes, ensure a symmetric design when interconnecting: The dissipation systems of glass and reference elec- trodes have the same potential (e.g. both Ag/AgCl, KCl 3 mol/l, AgCl saturated or both “calomel“, KCl satu- rated).
- Page 38 Do not rub the electrode dry with a cloth or fleece, as this will cause electric charging which may later result in incorrect measurements or even make them impossible. The temperature compensation takes the temperature Temperature dependency of the electrode slope into account. Reference compen- temperature for zero and slope of the meter is 25°C.
