NEON_pH_Redox Second point calibration: STEP 3 using pH 9 After rinsing and wiping the sensor, immerse the sensor head in pH 9 solution. As soon as the temperature stabilizes, record its value and refer to the table of variation in pH values according to temperature (see label on the back of the bottle or table below).
NEON_pH_Rédox 6.3.3.2 R EDOX SECONDARY PARAMETER To access the ORP calibration menu, select in the calibration menu, SECONDARY PARAMETER OFFSET calibration: Electronics This step involves setting the electronic zero of the ORP parameter. Put the dry sensor in the open air and wait for the measurement to stabilize.
NEON_pH_Redox If the calibration is rejected, press the Escape (ESC) key. 6.3.3.3 F ACTORY COEFFICIENTS In the event of mishandling during calibration or to check sensor operation, factory calibration coefficients can be used to restore the sensor to its original coefficients. FACTORY COEFFS OK key to confirm...
NEON_pH_Rédox 6.3.4 R ECORDING MENU This menu allows you to view the data stored in the NEON hand-held device, set the recording frequency, set the file names, and delete recorded data. RESULTS SAMPLE RATE CAMPAIGN NAME CLEAR DATABASE To select an option, use the up/down arrows and confirm with the OK key. 6.3.4.1 R ESULTS This menu enables you to view the data stored in the NEON hand-held device.
NEON_pH_Redox By default, the value is 0 seconds (blue writing), a ONE-OFF recording mode that is triggered by pressing the OK key on the main screen. When recording is enabled on the main screen, the recording icon appears. The frequency can be changed (to 10s/30s, 1/5/10/30 min or 1 H) using the up and down arrow keys (the writing changes to white).
NEON_pH_Rédox 6.3.5 P REFERENCES MENU The PREFERENCES menu allows you to configure the date and time of the NEON hardware (useful for the timestamp of the stored data), to view information on the software/electronic versions of the NEON hand-held device and associated sensor, to set the standby mode timeout and then to completely turn off the screen, choose the language and return to the initial hardware configuration.
NEON_pH_Redox 6.3.5.3 S ENSOR This window shows information about the sensor connected to the NEON housing: its description, serial number, PCB version and software version.

NEON_pH_Redox 8. PHEHT SENSOR MAINTENANCE The maintenance schedule specifies minimum intervals for regular maintenance tasks. Perform more frequent maintenance tasks for applications that cause electrode fouling. Note: It is not necessary to disassemble the probe for maintenance or cleaning. • The sensor must always be clean, especially in the area around the pH glass bulb and platinum disc (Redox measurement).
NEON_pH_Rédox Perform a full calibration to set up the sensor with its new cartridge. Cartridge half-moon connector Half-moon connector of the electronic part Diagram 5 8.3 STORAGE If the sensor is decommissioned, it must be rinsed before storage, and the protective cap must be covered with a damp absorbent material (such as cotton) and soaking solution (1SC009).
