1. Podłączenie elektrod: Plug the LabSen 211 pH Electrode into the port labeled "pH/mV".
2. Podłączenie sondy temperatury: Insert the temperature probe into the port labeled "TEMP".
3. Podłączenie zasilania: Connect the power adapter to the "DC 9V" port and then to a power outlet.
4. Electrode Arm Assembly: Attach the flexible electrode arm and holder to the side of the meter unit for convenient electrode placement during measurements.

Instrukcja obsługi

Basic pH Measurement

1. Włącz miernik naciskając przycisk zasilania.
2. Opłukać elektrodę wodą destylowaną i delikatnie osuszyć.
3. Immerse the electrode and temperature probe into the samproztwór. Upewnij się, że końcówka elektrody jest całkowicie zanurzona.
4. Wait for the reading on the large LCD to stabilize. The meter displays pH and temperature simultaneously.
5. Record the stable reading.

Kalibracja pH

The PH820 supports 1 to 5 points automatic calibration. Regular calibration ensures measurement accuracy.

1. Prepare the standard calibration solutions (4.00 pH, 7.00 pH, 10.01 pH are included).
2. Naciśnij CAL przycisk, aby wejść w tryb kalibracji.
3. Rinse the electrode and immerse it into the first calibration solution (e.g., 7.00 pH).
4. The meter will automatically recognize the solution and begin calibration. Wait for the stability icon to appear.
5. Once stable, the meter will prompt for the next calibration point. Repeat the rinsing and immersion process for subsequent solutions.
6. The self-diagnosis function will provide feedback on the calibration process and electrode condition, including slope data.
7. Exit calibration mode once all desired points are completed.

Zarządzanie danymi

The PH820 allows for GLP data management, storing up to 500 groups of data. Data can be output via USB to a PC using the provided PC-Link software (Windows-based system only). Auto-timing data logging can also be configured.

ORP Measurement (Optional)

The PH820 can measure Oxidation-Reduction Potential (ORP) when an ORP electrode (e.g., 301Pt-C, sold separately) is connected to the pH/mV port. Refer to the ORP electrode's specific instructions for calibration and measurement procedures.

Konserwacja

Pielęgnacja elektrod

Proper care of the LabSen 211 pH Electrode is crucial for maintaining accuracy and extending its lifespan.

• Płukanie: Always rinse the electrode with distilled or deionized water before and after each measurement.
• Składowanie: Store the electrode in its protective cap filled with a suitable electrode storage solution (or 3M KCl solution). Never store the electrode dry or in distilled water.
• Czyszczenie: If the electrode becomes contaminated or readings are sluggish, clean it according to the electrode's specific cleaning instructions.
• Bubble-free Tip: The LabSen 211 features an impact-resistant and bubble-free sensor tip. Ensure no air bubbles are trapped around the sensor during measurement.

Pielęgnacja licznika

The PH820 meter unit is IP54 water-resistant, meaning it is protected from dust and splashing water. However, it should not be submerged. Keep the meter clean and dry. Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe the surface. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents.

Rozwiązywanie problemów

The PH820 features a self-diagnosis function that can assist in identifying and fixing common problems, particularly during calibration. Refer to the meter's display for diagnostic messages.
