Getting Started: pH and Ion Probes
PH6000, PC6000, PH6500, PC6500 and PCD6500 meters
Technology Made Easy ...
The 6000 series meters - PH6000, PC6000, PH6500, PC6500 and PCD6500 - allows you to use
two types of pH electrodes: the conventional glass pH electrode
and the field effect transistor (FET) pH electrode.
1. Carefully remove the protective cover from the end of the
electrode. Before first using your glass pH electrode, or
whenever the electrode is dry, soak it
2-4 hours in an electrode storage solution, pH 4 Buffer, or
KCl solution.
2. Remove the shorting cap on BNC connector. Connect the
combination pH electrode by plugging it into the BNC input
connector (twisting to lock in place).
If a combination electrode isn’t used, connect the indicating pH
electrode into the BNC input connector. Plug the reference
electrode into the reference pin jack. Also, install the ATC probe
into the ATC jack.
Note: Be sure to connect all probes to the
appropriate channel connectors (for example:
pH 1, Ref 1 and ATC1).
Option: Connect the optional pHFET electrode
by plugging it into the FET jack on the back meter
panel. Allow the pHFET electrode to warm up five
minutes before use.
Connect ion specific electrodes in the same manner
as pH electrodes.
Do not discard the BNC
shorting cap.
