Symmetrical mode:

For noisy electrical environments, the alpha pH 190
controller offers Symmetrical Mode operation. To take
advantage of Symmetrical operation, you must have an
electrode with a solution ground (potential matching) pin,
such as the EC-ARGTSO-05B or EC-100GTSO-05B.

If your electrode does not have a solution ground, be sure
to set the controller to Asymmetrical mode.

Symmetrical mode avoids grounding the reference
electrode by reconfiguring the input to a floating
differential mode. The electrical noise appears equally on
the pH and reference electrodes, and is therefore rejected
by the operational amplifier.
