Page 9: Getting Started
GETTING STARTED Description of Instrument The Alpha pH 600 RF Transmitter is used for measuring pH or ORP and temperature values. The pH values can be measured using industrial combination pH sensors; the ORP values can be measured using industrial ORP sensor; the temperature values can be measured using 3-wire Pt100 / Pt1000 sensors. -

The default factory setting is Pt100. If you need to use Pt1000 temperature sensor, you have to change the jumper setting (J201) as described below.
- Page 13 2.3.3 Connecting pH/ORP Electrode If the pH/ORP electrode has a BNC connector, remove the BNC connector from the cable. NOTE: Oakton Instruments offers an optional ‘BNC to Spade Lug adapter’ (Order code: 05994-90) that can be used with pH/ORP electrode without removing the BNC connector. Strip the insulation of the cable so that the bare wires are exposed enough for connection as shown in Figure 3.

Page 21: Calibration Mode
CALIBRATION MODE Preparing the Transmitter & Electrode for Calibration Before starting calibration, make sure that the pH Transmitter is in appropriate measurement mode (pH or ORP). When the Transmitter is powered on, it starts up with the measurement mode last used. For example, if the pH Transmitter is powered off in ORP measurement mode, it starts up in ORP mode when it is powered on. -
