Congratulations with your "Nieuwkoop" EC/pH/°C-meter with automatic temperature compensation and calibration. With the EP1200 it is very easy to measure EC, pH and temperature in liquids and soils. The instrument is supplied in a useful carrying case complete with calibration liquids and all the accessories needed for measuring water and soil samples.
EP1200 EC/pH/°C METER _____________________________________________________________________________________________ CHAPTER 2, TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS 1) EC Range : 0-20,00 mS Resolution : ± 0,01 mS Accuracy : dependent on calibration Temperature compensation : manual or automatic by electrode Temperature coefficient : 2,2 %/°C (during calibration 2,1 %/°C) Reference temperature : adjustable to 18, 20 or 25°C (during calibration fixed to...
EP1200 EC/pH/°C METER _____________________________________________________________________________________________ CHAPTER 3, MEASURING WITH TEMPERATURE COMPENSATION IN A LIQUID. EC measurement 1. Press the EC-button. The LED 2. Put the EC electrode into 3. Wait until the value is stable 4. Clean the electrode with demi on the button will be blinking.
EP1200 EC/pH/°C METER _____________________________________________________________________________________________ CHAPTER 4, MEASURING WITHOUT TEMPERATURE COMPENSATION IN A LIQUID To measure without temperature compensation (temperature probe not connected), before measurement the temperature has to be adjusted as follows 1. Push the temp button. The LED 2. Measure the temperature with 3. The adjusted temperature is 4.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________ CHAPTER 6, CALIBRATION TAKE CARE: The EPH-119 is programmed for the “Nieuwkoop” calibration liquids. Use always original calibration liquids of Nieuwkoop BV. Take care the liquids are always fresh EC-calibration 1. Keep the EC button pressed. 2. Release the button when "CAL"...

EP1200 EC/pH/°C METER _____________________________________________________________________________________________ If the buffer solution is not a standard buffer solution (pH-4, pH-7 or pH-9) the liquid will not be recognised. In this case you must follow steps 1 to 5 from above and steps 6 to 8 here under.
EP1200 EC/pH/°C METER _____________________________________________________________________________________________ CHAPTER 7, SWITCHING THE INSTRUMENT OFF The instrument can be switched off manually as follows: 1. Keep the EC and pH-buttons 2. Release the buttons when pressed. "OFF" is shown on the display. The instrument will switch off automatically after 90 or 180 seconds. The time can be adjusted as follows: 1.
EP1200 EC/pH/°C METER _____________________________________________________________________________________________ CHAPTER 9, ERROR MESSAGES During pH calibration the following error messages can appear on the display: "ERR1”: The zero (pH-7) calibration of the pH-electrode is out of range (± 1,00pH). "ERR2”: The span (pH-4) calibration of the pH-electrode is out of range (90%-105%).
EP1200 EC/pH/°C METER _____________________________________________________________________________________________ Serial port configuration: Baud rate : 1200 bit/sec Data : 8 bit Parity : NONE Stop : 1 bit Flow control : NONE Serial port connections (DB9 M) pin 2 pin 3 pin 5 Data can be received and memorised by using a standard Terminal program (Terminal.exe, Hyperterminal.exe, etc.) which is configured as above described.
