    CS526 ISFET pH Probe Introduction The CS526 ISFET pH Probe measures pH from 1 to 14 in aqueous or semi- solid solutions. It outputs TTL serial data that is read by compatible dataloggers (see Section 6, Specifications). Before using the CS526, please study •...
  • Page 8: Initial Inspection

    For complete installation, programming, and calibration information, see Sections 7 through 9. The CS526 is shipped dry. Before the probe can be calibrated, it must be soaked in 7-pH buffer solution for 15 minutes. Follow the calibration procedure outlined in Appendix A, Calibration.
  • Page 9: Overview

    The CS526 is suitable for demanding applications in laboratory and field. The ISFET performs well in solutions with high solids, moderately aggressive chemicals, and biological materials.
  • Page 10: Installation And Wiring

    Installation and Wiring Preparation for Use The CS526 is shipped dry. Before the probe can be calibrated, soak it in 7-pH buffer solution for 15 minutes. Unlike many glass-bulb type pH sensors, the CS526 ISFET pH probe can be installed without regard to orientation.
  • Page 11: Programming

    Programming Get Data Command The datalogger needs to send a “get data” serial command to the CS526 to get the pH data. This command is sent to the CS526 via the SerialOut() CRBasic instruction (see Section 8.2.2.2, SerialOut() Instruction). TABLE 8-1 shows the “get data”...

    CS526 ISFET pH Probe NOTE Probe output is “Counts”. A corrected multiplier and offset are required to provide an output in pH units (see Appendix A, Calibration). 8.2.2 Instruction Descriptions 8.2.2.1 SerialOpen() Instruction The SerialOpen() instruction has the following syntax: SerialOpen(ComPort,BaudRate,Format,TXDelay,BufferSize) ComPort —...

    / fouling nature of the measured samples. 10. Troubleshooting NOTE If the CS526 is not operating properly and requires return to Campbell Scientific, first obtain an RMA (returned material authorization) and fill out the Declaration of Hazardous Material and Decontamination form.
  • Page 15: Maintenance

    Soak probe for 10 minutes in saturated KCl solution (pn 16349). Probe cannot be fixed if chip is scratched. 11. Maintenance The CS526 needs to be periodically cleaned and calibrated CAUTION to ensure accurate readings and proper operation. The CS526 has no user-serviceable parts.

    Diaphragm Chip FIGURE 11-1. Tip of the CS526 probe 3. Rinse thoroughly with deionized water. 4. Revitalize the probe (Section 11.1.3, Revitalizing) 5. Calibrate the probe (Appendix A, Calibration).
  • Page 17: Revitalizing

    CS526 ISFET pH Probe • Proteins, fats, and oils may be removed by scrubbing in a solution of Terg- A-Zyme (Alconox company), a pepsin solution, or a similar product. Afterwards, rinse thoroughly with deionized or distilled water. • Do not use hydrofluoric acid, acetone, MEK, or similar agents to clean the probe.
