Basic pH Measurement

1. Power on the meter by pressing the power button.
2. Rinse the electrode with distilled water and gently blot dry.
3. Immerse the electrode and temperature probe into the sample solution. Ensure the electrode tip is fully submerged.
4. Wait for the reading on the large LCD to stabilize. The meter displays pH and temperature simultaneously.
5. Record the stable reading.

PH odiwọn

The PH820 supports 1 to 5 points automatic calibration. Regular calibration ensures measurement accuracy.

1. Prepare the standard calibration solutions (4.00 pH, 7.00 pH, 10.01 pH are included).
2. Tẹ awọn CAL button to enter calibration mode.
3. Rinse the electrode and immerse it into the first calibration solution (e.g., 7.00 pH).
4. The meter will automatically recognize the solution and begin calibration. Wait for the stability icon to appear.
5. Once stable, the meter will prompt for the next calibration point. Repeat the rinsing and immersion process for subsequent solutions.
6. The self-diagnosis function will provide feedback on the calibration process and electrode condition, including slope data.
7. Exit calibration mode once all desired points are completed.

Data Management

The PH820 allows for GLP data management, storing up to 500 groups of data. Data can be output via USB to a PC using the provided PC-Link software (Windows-based system only). Auto-timing data logging can also be configured.

ORP Measurement (Optional)

The PH820 can measure Oxidation-Reduction Potential (ORP) when an ORP electrode (e.g., 301Pt-C, sold separately) is connected to the pH/mV port. Refer to the ORP electrode's specific instructions for calibration and measurement procedures.

• Ibi ipamọ: Store the electrode in its protective cap filled with a suitable electrode storage solution (or 3M KCl solution). Never store the electrode dry or in distilled water.
• Ninu: If the electrode becomes contaminated or readings are sluggish, clean it according to the electrode's specific cleaning instructions.
• Bubble-free Tip: The LabSen 211 features an impact-resistant and bubble-free sensor tip. Ensure no air bubbles are trapped around the sensor during measurement.

Mita Itọju

The PH820 meter unit is IP54 water-resistant, meaning it is protected from dust and splashing water. However, it should not be submerged. Keep the meter clean and dry. Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe the surface. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents.
