CSIM11 pH and ORP Probes
1. Introduction
The CSIM11 measures the full pH range of liquids, and the CSIM11-ORP
measures oxidation reduction potential (ORP) of liquids. They can be
submerged in water or inserted into tanks, pipelines, and open channels. The
reference solutions and bulb configuration are optimized for natural water
applications. Alternate reference solutions and bulb configurations are
available. Contact Campbell Scientific for more information.
2. Cautionary Statements
•
manual.
•
Do not store the sensor in distilled water, as the gel layer will become
depleted. If this happens, the gel layer can often be rehydrated by soaking
the sensor in the pH 4 buffer solution overnight.
3. Initial Inspection
•
Remove the CSIM11 or CSIM11-ORP from its package and check that it
is undamaged. If damaged, contact your supplier for replacement.
•
Care should be taken when unpacking and handling all electrodes.
•
The probes are shipped with a wetting cap covering the measuring end.
This cap contains a solution of pH 4 buffer saturated with potassium
chloride (KCl).
4. Quickstart
Short Cut is an easy way to program your datalogger to measure the CSIM11
and CSIM11-ORP and assign datalogger wiring terminals. Use the following
procedures to get started.
4.1 CSIM11 Tutorial
A temperature measurement is required. For this tutorial, the 107-
L thermistor is used.
1. Install Short Cut by clicking on the install file icon. Get the install file
from either the ResourceDVD, or find it in
installations of LoggerNet, PC200W, PC400, or RTDAQ software.
