OPERATIONAL GUIDE
POWER CONNECTION
Plug the 12 VDC adapter into the power supply socket.
Note: These instruments use non volatile memory to retain the pH, mV,
temperature calibrations and all other settings, even when unplugged.
Note: Make sure a fuse protects the mains line.
ELECTRODE AND PROBE CONNECTIONS
For HANNA P Type pH or ORP electrodes (with internal reference) connect the
electrode’s BNC to the socket on the back of the instrument and the pin to the
appropriate socket.
Note: Electrode condition and response information is displayed on the bar
graph gauges. During the day the calibration is performed only if
HANNA P type (PIN) electrodes are used.
If the electrode is not recognized as a HANNA P type electrode, the bar
graph gauges will blink (25 seconds OFF, 4 seconds ON, full bar graph).
For temperature measurement and automatic temperature compensation
connect the temperature probe to the appropriate socket.
INSTRUMENT START-UP
• Turn the instrument on by pressing the ON/OFF switch.
• All LCD tags are displayed and a beep is sounded
while the instrument performs a self test.
• The “Unscrew electrode refilling cap” message reminds the user to loosen
or remove the electrode refilling cap to improve the electrode’s response
time.
• The instrument automatically defaults to pH measurement mode unless a
HANNA P type ORP electrode is detected.
pH MEASUREMENT
Make sure the instrument has been calibrated before
taking pH measurements.
• Submerge the tip (4 cm/1½”) of a properly condi-
tioned electrode (see page 31) and the tempera-
ture probe into the sample to be tested. Allow time
for the electrode to stabilize.
