3.4. Reading Stability Display Mode

When the measuring value is stable, smiley icon appears on LCD,

see Diagram –4. If the smiley icon does not appear or flash, please do

not get the reading value or make calibration until the measuring value is

stable. Per parameter P1.3, there are 3 criteria for stability standard:

(Normal), (High), and (Low). The factory default is set “Normal”.

time. User can select suitable stability criteria according to different testing

requirement.

4.1. pH Electrode Information

The meter matches 201T-F plastic three-in-one combination pH electrode with built-in temperature

sensor to realize automatic temperature compensation. Electrode housing adopts polycarbonate

engineering plastics which is corrosion and impact resistant. The BNC socket of electrode connects

pH socket; RCA socket connects temperature socket. When dip the electrode in the solution, please

stir the solution briefly and allow it to stay in the solution until a stable reading is reached.

4.2. pH Calibration Consideration

4.2.1. Standard buffer solution

The meter uses two series of standard buffer solution: USA series and NIST series, 3 solutions for

each series which are corresponding to calibration indication icons. Please see Chart - 3 for the two

series of standard buffer solution.

4.2.2. Three-point calibration

The instrument can perform 1-3 points calibration. The first point calibration must use 7.00 pH (or

6.86 pH) standard solution, then select other standard solution to perform the second and the third

point calibration. See chart –4.

4.2.3. Calibration intervals

Calibration intervals depend on the sample, the electrode performance, and the required accuracy.

For high accuracy measurements (≤ ±0.03pH), the meter should be calibrated immediately before

PC850 Version 1.0

taking a measurement. For general accuracy (≥±0.1pH), the meter can be calibrated and used for

approximately one week before the next calibration.

The meter must be recalibrated in the following situations:

(a) New probe or probe that has not been used for a long time

(b)After measuring acid (pH<2) or alkaline solutions (pH>12)

(c)After measuring a solution that contains fluoride or a concentrated organic solution

(d) If the solution’s temperature differs greatly from the calibration solution temperature

4.3. pH Meter Calibration (with an example of three-point calibration)

4.3.1. First point calibration

(a) Press key to enter into the calibration mode, “ CAL 1 ”

blinks at the top right of LCD and “7.00 pH” blinks at the bottom right of

LCD, indicating using pH 7.00 buffer solution to make the 1st point calibration.

(b) Rinse pH electrode in pure water, allow it to dry, and submerge it in

pH7.00 buffer solution. Stir the solution briefly and allow it to stay in the

buffer solution until a stable reading is reached. When stable icon

displays on LCD, press key to calibrate, then 1st point calibration is

finished, the meter enters in measurement mode of one-point calibration.

Calibration guide icon displays at the bottom left of LCD. See Diagram-6.

4.3.2. Second point calibration

Press key to enter into the calibration mode, “ CAL 2 ”

blinks at the top right of LCD indicating to make the 2nd point calibration.

Rinse pH electrode in pure water, allow it to dry, and submerge it in

pH4.00 buffer solution. Stir the solution briefly and allow it to stay in the

buffer solution until a stable reading is reached. The meter’s display will

show scanning and locking process of calibration buffer solution at the

bottom right of LCD. When the meter locks 4.00 pH, stable icon displays

on LCD, press key to calibrate the meter. LCD will display electrode

slope of acidity range, then 2nd point calibration is finished, the meter enters in measurement mode

of two-point calibration. Calibration guide icons display at the bottom left of LCD.

4.3.3. Third point calibration

Press key to enter into the calibration mode, “ CAL 3 ”blinks at the top right of LCD indicating

to make the 3rd point calibration. Rinse pH electrode in pure water, allow it to dry, and submerge it in

pH10.01 buffer solution. Stir the solution briefly and allow it to stay in the buffer solution until a stable

reading is reached. The meter’s display will show scanning and locking process of calibration buffer

solution at the bottom right of LCD. When the meter locks 10.01pH, stable icon displays on

LCD, press key to calibrate the meter. LCD will display electrode slope of alkalinity range, then

Diagram- 6

PC850 Version 1.0

3rd point calibration is finished, the meter enters in measurement mode of three-point calibration.

Calibration guide icons display at the bottom left of LCD.

Notes:

(a) The meter can perform 1-3 points calibration. When the 1st point calibration is done, the meter

will enter in measurement mode of one-point calibration. Two-point and three-point calibration are in

the same manner.

(b) During the calibration process, if measuring value is not stable yet (when does not appear

and the key is pressed, then Er 2 displays. See chart –5.

4.4. Sample Test

4.4.1. Rinse pH electrode in pure water, allow it to dry, and submerge it in tested solution. Stir the

solution briefly and allow it to stay in the tested solution until icon appears on LCD and a stable

reading is reached, which is the pH value of tested solution. Diagram –7 is the calibration and

measurement process of pH meter
