4.6 pH value / ORP voltage
4.6.1 General information
You can measure the following variables:
 pH value [ ]
 ORP [mV]
The RS232 interface is not galvanically isolated.
When connecting an earthed PC, measurements cannot be performed
in earthed media as incorrect values would result.
Temperature
measurement
For reproducible pH measurements, it is essential to measure the tem-
perature of the test sample.
You have the following possibilities for measuring the temperature:
 Automatic measurement of the temperature by a temperature sen-
sor (NTC30 or Pt1000) integrated in electrode.
 Manual determination and input of the temperature.
The meter recognizes whether a suitable electrode is connected and
automatically switches on the temperature measurement.
The display of the temperature indicates the active temperature mea-
suring mode:

and entry
1 Connect a pH or ORP electrode to the meter.
2 Press the key (long pressure) repeatedly until the pH &
ORP measuring mode is selected.
3 Press the key (short pressure) repeatedly until the mea-
sured parameter, pH or ORP is selected.
4 Adjust the temperature of the solutions and measure the cur-
rent temperature if the measurement is made without a temper-
ature sensor.
5 Calibrate or check the meter with the electrode.
