2.将PH计放置在平稳的工作台上,并连接电源线。
3.选用合适的电极,并插入PH计的电极插孔。
4.使用去离子水清洗电极,并将其浸泡在PH7标准缓冲液中。
待电极稳定后,将其插入PH计的插孔中。
5.打开PH计电源开关,并等待一段时间,直到仪器表面显示出稳定的PH值。
二、PH计的校准1.使用去离子水清洗电极,然后插入PH7标准缓冲液中。
等待电极稳定后,记录下显示的PH值。
2.更换PH4标准缓冲液,重复上述步骤,记录下显示的PH值。
3.使用PH计自带的校准程序,将PH计的读数与标准缓冲液的PH值进行校准。
4.校准完成后,将电极插入PH7标准缓冲液中,确认读数是否接近于7三、PH计的使用1.将待测溶液倒入一个干净的玻璃容器中。
2.使用去离子水清洗电极,并将其插入溶液中,确保电极与溶液充分接触。
3.静待电极稳定后,记录下PH计的读数。
4.如果需要多次测量,每次测量之前都应当将电极清洁干净,并用PH7标准缓冲液校准。
5.测量完成后,关闭PH计电源开关,并将电极插入PH4或PH7标准缓冲液中,以保护其电极。
6.定期检查PH计的电极是否需要更换,避免误差的累积影响测量结果。
四、PH计的维护1.清洗电极:使用去离子水清洗电极可以去除附着在电极表面的污物和离子,保证测量的准确性。
2.保持电极湿润:长时间不使用时,应将电极插入PH4或PH7标准缓冲液中,避免电极干燥导致性能下降。
3.定期校准:每隔一段时间,使用标准缓冲液对PH计进行校准,以保证测量的准确性。
4.避免强烈碱性或酸性溶液:PH计的电极对强酸强碱的抗性有限,因此应尽可能避免测量过程中接触这样的溶液。
PH计使用说明1、开机注意:开机前,需检查电源是否接妥,应保证仪器良好接地。
电极的连接须可靠,防止腐蚀性气体侵袭。
仪器插入电源后,按电源开关开机。
仪器首先显示“PHS-3C”字样,稍等,会显示上次标定后的斜率以及E0值,然后进入测量状态,显示当前的电位值或者PH值。
其中显示屏上方为当前的电位值或者PH值,下方为设定的温度值。
在测量状态下,按“mV/pH键可以切换显示电极位以及PH值;按“温度”键设置当前的温度值;按“定位”或“斜率”键标定电极斜率。
2、功能设置●设置温度用温度计测出被测溶液的温度,然后按“温度△”或“温度▽”键,调节显示值,使温度显示为被测溶液的温度,按“确认”键,即完成当前温度的设置,按“PH/mV”键放弃设置,返回测量状态。
●pH电极的准备(1)将pH复合电极下端的电极电极保护瓶拔下,并且拉下电极上端的橡皮套使其露出上端小孔。
(2)用蒸馏水清洗电极。
3、pH电极的标定仪器使用前首先要标定,一般情况下仪器在连续使用时,每天都要标定一次。
本仪器具有自动识别标准缓冲溶液的能力,可识别4.00PH,6.86PH,9.18PH三种标液,因此对于标准缓冲溶液4.00PH,6.86PH,9.18PH,用户按“定位”键或者“斜率”键后不必再调节数据,直接按“确定”键即可完成标定。
用“定位”进行一点标定,用“斜率”进行二点标定。
对于其他的非常规律标准缓冲溶液,仪器也允许用户标定使用。
如果用户需要标定,则只须在标定状态下调节显示的PH数据至该温度下的标准溶液的PH值,然后按“确定”键即可。
●一点标定:一点标定即一点定位法,使用一种标准缓冲溶液定位EO,斜率设为默认的100.0%,这种方法比较简单,用于要求不太精确的情况下测量。
注意:进行一点标定即定位操作后,仪器会自动删除上一次的标定数据,一点标定后,斜率默认设置为100.0%。
1)在仪器的测量状态下,把用蒸馏水清洗过的电极插入某种标准缓冲溶液中(如PH=6.86PH 的标准缓冲溶液中)2)用温度计测出被测溶液的温度值,按前面设置温度的方法设置温度值3)稍后,待读书稳定,按“定位”键,仪器会提示用户是否进行标定,显示“STD YES”字样如果用户需要标定,则按“确定”键,仪器自动进入一点标定状态,否则按任意键退出标定,仪器返回测量状态。

Primary displayIST99163R1 05/05Hanna Instruments reserves the right to modify the design, construction and appear-ance of its products without advance notice.To connect the probeWith the meter turned off, connect the FC 232D probe to the DIN socket on the top of the meter by aligning the pins and pushing in the plug. Tighten the nut to ensure a good connection. Remove the protective cap from the probe before taking any measurements.To turn the meter ON and check the battery statusPress the ON/OFF/MODE button until the display lights up. At start-up, all the LCD segments are displayed for 1 second, then the percent indica-tion of the remaining battery life is shown for an-other second (E.g. % 100 BATT). The meter then enters the normal measuring mode.Note : If the display needs to be checked, keep the ON button pressed while turning the meter on.The meter will display all segments as long as the button is pressed.To freeze the displayWhile in measurement mode, press the SET/HOLD button, HOLD appears on the secondary display and the reading will be frozen on the LCD (E.g. pH 5.73 HOLD). Press any button to return to normal mode.To turn the meter OFFWhile in normal measurement mode, press the ON/OFF/MODE button. OFF will appear on the secondary display. Release the button.Note : The meter is provided with an acoustic sig-nal feature, which can be disabled using the switch located in the battery compartment.Note : When the meter detects the absence of a temperature probe at its input, the Automatic T emperature Compensation is turned off, and the meter uses a default value of 25°C (77°F)for the temperature measurement and com-pensation. In this condition, the secondary LCD shows 25.0°C (77.0°F) blinking. When a probe is connected, the meter automatically returns to the A TC mode, the ATC tag is turned on, and the temperature is shown on the secondary display.OPERATIONAL GUIDEMETER SETUPpH MEASUREMENT & CALIBRATIONBATTERY REPLACEMENTSetup mode allows the selection of the tempera-ture unit and of the pH buffer set.T o enter the Setup mode, press and hold the ON/OFF/MODE button until CAL on the secondary display is replaced by TEMP and the current tem-perature unit (E.g. TEMP °C). Then:•for °C/°F selection , use the SET/HOLD button.After the temperature unit has been selected,press ON/OFF/MODE to enter the buffer set selection mode; press ON/OFF/MODE twice to return to the normal measuring mode.•to change the calibration buffer set , after set-ting the temperature unit, the meter will show the current buffer set: “pH 7.01 BUFF” (for 4.01/7.01/10.01) or “pH 6.86 BUFF” (for 4.01/6.86/9.18). Change the set with the SET/HOLD but-ton, then press ON/OFF/MODE to return to nor-mal mode.Note : T o clean the meter, do not use aggressive detergents. It is recommended to use water.•Make sure the meter has been calibrated be-fore use.•If the probe is dry, soak it in HI 70300 storage solution for one hour to reactivate it.•Insert the tip of the probe into the sample to be tested and wait until the symbol on the top left of the LCD is turned off.•The LCD shows the pH value (automatically compensated for temperature) on the primary LCD, while the secondary LCD shows the tem-perature of the solution.•After each measurement, it is recommended to perform a complete cleaning of the probe:use the suitable Cleaning solutions (see "Ac-cessories" section) and clean the probe tip thoroughly to eliminate dirtiness and avoid cross-contamination.•When not in use, switch the meter OFF and clean the probe with the specific Cleaning so-lutions (see "Accessories" section) before stor-ing it.pH calibrationFor better accuracy, frequent calibration of the instrument is recommended. In addition, the instrument must be recalibrated whenever:a)The pH electrode is replaced.b)After testing aggressive chemicals.c)Where high accuracy is required.d)At least once a month.•From normal mode, press and hold the ON/OFF/MODE button until OFF on the secondary display is replaced by CAL. Release the but-ton.•The LCD enters the calibration mode, display-ing “pH 7.01 USE” (or “pH 6.86 USE” if the NIST buffer set was selected). After 1 second the meter activates the automatic buffer recog-nition feature. If a valid buffer is detected, then its value is shown on the primary display, and REC appears on the secondary LCD. If no valid buffer is detected, the meter keeps the USE indication active for 12 seconds, and then re-places it with WRNG , indicating that the sample being measured is not a valid buffer.•For a single-point calibration with buffers pH 4.01, 9.18 or 10.01, the meter automatically accepts the calibration when the reading is stable; the meter will show on the primary dis-play the accepted buffer, with the message “OK 1” on the secondary display, and an audible signal is produced. After 1 second the meter automatically returns to the normal measur-ing mode.If a single-point calibration with buffers pH 7.01or 6.86 is desired, then after the calibration point has been accepted the ON/OFF/MODE button must be pressed in order to return to the nor-mal measuring mode. After the button is pressed, the meter shows "7.01" (or "6.86") -"OK 1", and an audible signal is produced. Af-ter 1 second, the meter automatically returns to the normal measuring mode.Note : It is always recommended to carry out a two-point calibration for better accuracy.•For a two-point calibration , place the probe in pH 7.01 (or pH 6.86) buffer. After the calibration point has been accepted, the “pH 4.01 USE”message appears. The message is held for 12 seconds, unless a valid buffer is recog-nized. If no valid buffer is recognized, then the WRNG message is shown. If a valid buffer (pH 4.01, pH 10.01 or pH 9.18) is detected, then the meter completes the calibration procedure.When the buffer is accepted, the LCD shows the accepted value with the “OK 2” message on the secondary display. The meter then re-turns to the normal measuring mode.Note : When the calibration procedure is com-pleted, the CAL tag is turned on.To quit calibration and to reset to the de-fault values•After entering the calibration mode and before the first point is accepted, it is possible to quit the procedure and return to the last calibration data by pressing the ON/OFF/MODE button.The secondary LCD displays ESC for 1 sec-ond and the meter returns to normal mode.•T o reset to the default values and clear a previ-ous calibration, press the SET/HOLD button after entering the calibration mode and before the first point is accepted.The meter displays the remaining battery per-centage when turned on. When the level is below 5%, the symbol on the bottom left of the LCD blinks to indicate a low battery condition. If the battery level is low enough to cause erroneous readings, the Battery Error Prevention System (BEPS) turns the meter off.Unscrew the 4 screws located on the back of the meter and carefully replace the 3 AA batteries lo-cated in the battery compartment, while paying attention to their polarity . Reattach the back mak-ing sure that the gasket is in place and tighten the 4 screws to ensure a watertight seal.The secondary LCD displays CLR for 1 sec-ond, the meter resets to the default calibration and the “CAL” tag on the LCD disappears.。
