GENERAL INTRODUCTION Thank you for selecting the 6179M meter. The 6179M is a precision tool that measures pH, mV, ion concentration and temperature. A built-in microprocessor stores, calculates and compensates for all parameters related to pH determinations including pH electrode temperature characteristics, electrode slope deviations, offset and buffer solutions.
POWER INPUT The model 6179M can be powered by an UL/CE approved 100 to 240 VAC adaptor as well as 6 “AAA” alkaline batteries. Check the label on the AC adaptor supplied with the instrument to make sure that the AC line voltage is correct. If the wrong AC adaptor is supplied, notify your JENCO representative immediately.

Mode- Selects display mode. Pressing this key changes the display sequentially to display pH-AUTOLOCK, (RmV)-AUTOLOCK, ION-AUTOLOCK, pH , mV (RmV), ion, Recall, Delete One and Delete ALL. The calibration values will not be affected by changing the display modes. In the calibration mode, press “Mode” key to lear exit calibration mode.
OPERATIONAL PROCEDURES A. pH Buffer Set Selection The 6179M meter has two buffer sets: 1.68, 7.00, 4.01, 10.01, 12.46 pH and 1.68, 6.86, 4.00, 9.18, 12.46 pH. In pH mode, press “Set/Clear” key to enter the buffer set selection mode. Use “Up” or “Down” key to select the preferred buffer set.

To continue with two or more point calibration, the first buffer solution has to be either 7.00 or 6.86 pH.] Rinse the pH and ATC/Temp probe in distilled water and immerse them in the second buffer solution (either 4.00 / 4.01 pH or 9.18 / 10.01 pH corresponding to the flashing number on display).

sloped at the second buffer if the first buffer solution is 6.86 or 7.00 pH. [Note: At this moment, press the “Mode” key, the unit will exit the calibration mode. Single point calibration is complete. To continue with two or more point calibration, the first buffer solution has to be either 7.00 or 6.86 pH.] Repeat steps “e”...

flashing number on display). Allow temperature reading to stabilize, then press “Slope/Enter” key to calibrate. The unit immediately calibrates the second point, the selected two buffers lit up and the remaining buffer starts to flash. The unit is ready to be sloped at the third buffer. [Note: At this moment, press the “Mode”...
“Mea./Eff.” key for about 5 seconds to display the new electrode efficiency and offset value. C. pH Measurements To take pH measurements, 6179M must be calibrated before first use. 1. Measurement with an ATC/Temp probe in the pH- AUTOLOCK mode.
Repeat steps “c” and “d” of “Measurement with an ATC/Temp probe in the pH NON- AUTOLOCK mode” D. Temperature Measure The 6179M can measure temperature independently with the ATC/Temp probe without using the pH electrode. Place the ATC/Temp probe in the sample. The unit will display the measured temperature.
calibration values stored in internal memory. Connect the ORP electrode to the BNC connector of the unit. Press “Mode” key for the LCD to display “MAN”, “mV” and “AUTO” icons will lit up. The "WAIT" icon begins to flash. Rinse the ORP probe in distilled water and immerse it in the standard solution.
Allow sufficient time for the display to stabilize. The meter will display the mV (RmV) value of the sample. ION Calibration The 6179M can measure ion concentration when using an ion selective electrode (ISE) for the specific ion of interest. The available ion calibration values are 0.10, 1.0, 10.0, 100.0, and 1000.

Press “Slope/Enter” key. The mV value of the standard solution will appear on the main display. The “Wait” icon will flash until the meter detects a stable value. When the “Wait” icon disappears and the ion calibration value on the secondary screen moves up to the next value, the first point calibration is complete and the meter is ready for the second point calibration.
Press “Slope/Enter” key. The mV value of the standard solution. When the mV value of the standard solution is stable, press “Slope/Enter" key to save. The ion calibration value on the secondary screen moves up to the next value. The first point calibration is complete and the meter is ready for the second point calibration.
2. Measurement in the ION NON-AUTOLOCK mode. Connect the optional combination ion selective electrode to the BNC connector of the unit. Press “Mode” key until the “MAN” icon lit up. Rinse the ISE with distilled water and immerse it in sample to be measured.

pH Buffers The temperature coefficient of pH calibration buffers 1.68, 4.00, 4.01, 6.86, 7.00, 9.18 , 10.01 and 12.46 pH are stored inside the meter. The buffers used to calibrate the meter must exhibit the same temperature characteristics as the stored values. Temperature coefficient of the pH buffers °C 1.68...
