3. Konfiguracja i przygotowanie

3.1. Instalacja baterii

The PH90 meter requires two CR2032 Lithium Metal batteries (included). To install or replace batteries:

1. Unscrew the battery compartment cap located at the top of the meter.
2. Insert the two CR2032 batteries, ensuring correct polarity (+/-).
3. Securely screw the battery compartment cap back into place.

3.2. Electrode Preparation

Before first use, and after storage, prepare the electrode:

1. Remove the protective cap from the electrode tip. The cap contains a moist sponge to keep the electrode hydrated.
2. Rinse the electrode tip thoroughly with distilled or deionized water. Do not wipe the electrode, as this can create static charges.
3. Allow any excess water to drip off.

3.3. Kalibracja wstępna

For optimal accuracy, perform a 3-point calibration before initial use and periodically thereafter. Calibration buffers (pH 4, 7, and 10) are sold separately.

1. Turn on the meter by pressing the WŁ./WYŁ. przycisk.
2. Immerse the electrode into a pH 7.00 buffer solution.
3. Naciśnij i przytrzymaj CAL button until "CAL" appears on the display. The meter will automatically recognize the buffer and calibrate.
4. Przepłucz elektrodę wodą destylowaną.
5. Repeat the process with pH 4.00 and pH 10.00 buffer solutions. The meter will automatically detect and calibrate to these points.
6. Po zakończeniu kalibracji miernik powróci do trybu pomiaru.

4. Instrukcja obsługi

4.1. Wykonywanie pomiaru

1. Sprawdź, czy miernik jest skalibrowany.
2. Rinse the electrode with distilled water and gently shake off excess.
3. Zanurz końcówkę elektrody wampRozwiązanie polega na całkowitym zanurzeniu czujnika.
4. Gently stir the solution to ensure homogeneity and allow the reading to stabilize. This may take up to a minute, especially if the sample temperature differs significantly from the meter's previous environment.
5. Read the pH value displayed on the LCD screen. The temperature will also be displayed.
6. After measurement, rinse the electrode thoroughly with distilled water.

4.2. Funkcja wstrzymania

Aby zamrozić aktualny odczyt na wyświetlaczu, naciśnij przycisk TRZYMAĆ button (if available, typically integrated with MODE or a separate button). Press it again to release the hold and return to live measurement.

4.3. Automatyczna kompensacja temperatury (ATC)

The Extech PH90 features Automatic Temperature Compensation, which adjusts pH readings based on the sample's temperature, ensuring accuracy across varying temperatures. The temperature is displayed alongside the pH value.

5. Konserwacja

5.1. Pielęgnacja i przechowywanie elektrod

Proper electrode care is crucial for maintaining accuracy and extending the life of your meter:

• Always keep the electrode tip moist. Store the meter with the protective cap filled with electrode storage solution or pH 7 buffer solution. Never store in distilled or deionized water, as this can deplete the electrode's electrolyte.
• Rinse the electrode thoroughly with distilled water after each use.
• If the electrode becomes dirty or readings are sluggish, clean it using a mild electrode cleaning solution. Follow the cleaning solution manufacturer's instructions.
