Changing the operation mode
This instrument the operated by
changing the operation mode from four available modes, depending on the pupose
of use. The status icon indicates the current mode. You can change the
operation mode using the corresponding key, however changing to the
calibration, data, or setting mode is available only from the measurement mode.
When changing to a different mode, first change to the measurement mode and

Switching the displays
You can switch the channel
between the main screen and the sub screen. In the measurement mode, pressing
the <> keys can switch the channels between the main screen and the sub
screen. When performing calibration or setting, switch the display to show the
desired channel (measurement parameter) on the main screen.
Changing the measurement parameter
This instrument can measure
multiple parameters. For measurement, an electrode corresponding to the
measurement parameter is required. In the measurement parameter can be changed
by pressing the () key. This operation is available for the channel that is
shown on the main screen
Using the backlight
When it is difficult to see the
screen in a dark location, you can turn on the backlight by pressing the * key,
if the backlight is not operated for 5 minutes, it automatically turns off. To
turn it off manually, press the * key again while the backlight is on.
Note: 1. turning on the backlight
consumes energy and shortens battery life. 2. The backlight becomes unavailable
when the battery level becomes low.
Entering numeric values
When entering numeric values to
make various setting and set a calibration value, you can change the selected
digit using the <> keys and increment or decrement the value ( 0 to 9 )
using the <> keys.
5. pH measurement
you can measure the pH of the
sample with a pH electrode. Use a combination electrode incorporating a glass
electrode and a reference electrode for measurement. A single glass electrode
cannot be used with this instrument. pH can be measured using channel 1 of the
instrument.
·
Setting the instrument
o
Setting temperature compensation (default: ATC)
Automatic temperature
compensation function can be used by using a combination electrode equipped
with a temperature sensor or connecting a temperature compensation electrode.
By measuring temperature during calibration of the pH standard solution and
compensating for the change in pH value of the standard solution due to its
temperature changes, you can perform calibration using the value matched to the
standar solution temperature (only when the standard solution setting is NIST
and USA). However, the function does not convert the pH value accompanying the
temperature change differs depending on the sample.
If you do not used the automatic
temperature compensation function, match the temperature setting of the
instrument to the temperature of the standard solution during calibration and
match the sample temperature to the temperature setting of the instrument in
measurement. By doing so, you can obtain the correct measurement value without
being affected by sensitivity variation caused by temperature.
1.

2.
Press the keys to selected the “TEMP” (
temperature setting ) and then press the key.

for calibration. With this instrument, you can choose from 3 types, NIST, USA,
and CUST ( standard solution other then NIST and USA). Set according to the
standard solution to be used.

·
Performing calibration
Calibration is necessary to
measure pH accurately. We recommend performing calibration once a day, before
the first measurement. According to the following procedure, perform
calibration accurately.
Note:
1.
Perform two-point calibration using pH 7 dan pH
4 when you know that the sample is acidic; pH 7 and pH 9 when you know that the
sample is alkaline.
2.
Perform three-point calibration using pH4, pH7,
and pH 9 when the sample is unknown
3.
You can confirm the current calibration data in
the data mode and delete the calibration data in the setting mode. ( refer to “
displaying the latest calibration and inspection data” page 47 “deleting
calibration data “ (page).)
·

procedure for two-point calibration of NIST, pH 4 and 7, as a general
calibration example.

pH 4 calibrate is complete.
Two-point calibration is complete.
When calibrate three points or
more, use the same procedure to continue calibrating the 3rd and
subsequent point calibration. You can calibration up to five points. Also, you
can inspect repeatability using the pH standart solition. About the
repeatability using the pH 7 standard solition. About the repeatability
inspection procedure, refer to “inspecting repeatability” (page 23)
TIP:
·
You can cancel calibration by pressing the key
while the HOLD icon is blinking.
·
The order of calibration of the standard
solition is optional. In the above example, you can calibrate pH 4 first and
then Ph 7.
Note:
·
If calibration if any standard solution is
performed again in the calibration mode, only the value of calibrate silotion
is update. If you change to the measurement mode and then enter the calibration
mode to ferform calibration again, all preivios data is update.
·
Confirming thepH electrode status. After

The criteria of stability judgment in the hold
measurement are as follows.
Conductivity : display value
changes for 10 seconds is less than 3 digit and temperature change is less than
2,0 *C.
Salinity : display value change for 10 seconds is less than 1.0 PPT
(0.1%) and temperature change is less than 2.0 *C
TDS ; display value change for 10 seconds is less than 30 mg/L and
temperature change is less than 2.0*C.
Resistivity : Display value change for 10 seconds is less than 3 digit
and temperature change is less than 2.0*C.
- Using
the automatic data save (default: OFF)
You can
automatically save data in the internal memory at the specified interval
While using the
function, the automatic power off setting is disabled. If the batteries run out
while using the automatic data save function, the data saved until just before
the batteries run out. Replace the batteriesand check the data.
1.
Press the key to enter the setting mode
2.
Press the keys to select the AT LOG (automatic
data save) and then press the key
3.
Select ON to use this function, or select OFF
not to use it. And then press the key.
When ON is
selected, enter the period setting of seconds, hours, and minutes, in that
order and press the key. The setting range 2 to 24 hours.
4.
Press the key to enter the measurement mode
When this setting
is ON AUTO LOG, which indicator
5.
Pressing the key star saving the data (when the
setting is “ON”)
Pressing the key again
stops the data saving process. During automatic data saveing measurement, data
is displayed for one second each time a measurement takes place. When more than
1000 data items are saved, ERR No 0010 is displayed and saving is stopped. When
you delete the data, the error is cleared (deleting all saved data)
- Calibrating
temperature sensor
The temperature
sensor or temperature compensation electrode in the combination electrode has
+_ 1derajat celcius accuracy without calibration. You can use a know temperature
solution to calibrate the temperature sensor.
1.
Immerse the electrode into the solution until
the temperature sensor is immersed.
2.
Press the key to enterthe setting mode
3.
Press the keys to select the MAINT (maintenance
setting) and the press the key.
4.
Press the keys to select the TEMP (temperature
calibration setting) and the press the key
5.
Enter the set temperature and press the key
The temperature
sensor is calibrated. To return to the setting mode, press the key
NOTE :
When initializing temperature calibration data, all setting need to be
initialized. Perform initialization by referring to “resetting to factory
default setting”. When initialization is performed, all saved data is deleted.
Copy or transfer necessary data to a PC for storage.
