pH/ORP mV Measurements

Selecting pH or ORP modes of operation

Press and hold the FUNCTION button for at least 1.5 seconds; the display will begin to toggle

between pH and ORP modes. Release the FUNCTION button when the desired mode is displayed.

pH Measurement Range

pH measurements are displayed in the range of 0.00 to 14.00 in the upper, larger digit display area

of the meter’s LCD. Measurements made outside of this range will yield dashes (- - -) on the meter’s

LCD. The Temperature value is shown below the pH reading on the LCD. Refer to the

Measurement section for further information.

ORP mV Measurement Range

Ion-selective ORP (Oxidation Reduction Potential) measurements are displayed in the range of

±1999 mV (millivolts) in the upper, larger digit display area of the meter’s LCD. Measurements

outside of this range will yield dashes (- - -) on the meter’s LCD.

Connecting the pH or ORP Electrode

The measurement electrode connects to the BNC socket on the top left of the meter. If a pH

electrode is being connected to the meter for the first time, please perform a calibration as

described in the Calibration section of this user guide.

Taking a pH or ORP Measurement

For pH measurements only, determine whether Manual or Automatic Temperature Compensation

will be used and then set up as required.

Immerse the pH or ORP electrode into the solution under test and gently agitate the solution with

the probe. When the meter’s display has stabilized, note the reading (stabilization may require

several seconds up to several minutes, depending on the solution).

When measurements have been completed, be sure to store the pH electrode in its protective cap

with a pH4 moistened sponge.

Manual / Automatic Temperature Compensation (for pH measurements only)

Ph measurements are most accurate when the temperature of the solution under test is known and

a temperature compensation factor is applied to the measurement. This is achieved using Manual

or Automatic Temperature Compensation.

For Manual Temperature Compensation, the external temperature probe is not connected to the

meter and the temperature of the solution under test is manually entered in the Setup Mode. The

temperature entered is shown on the lower LCD line.

pH Calibration procedure

pH Calibration Considerations

An ideal pH Electrode generates a linear mV output of +/- 59mV per pH with 0mV at a pH of 7.00.

However, as time passes, the electrode ages and the mV output per pH is reduced. This is why

calibration is so important. The Electrode must be calibrated with the companion meter as often as

possible. In addition, the Electrode must be replaced when it has deteriorated or becomes defective.

The meter must also be well maintained and calibrated for best results.

Required Equipment for pH Calibration

1. pH Electrode

2. pH buffer solutions

pH Calibration Procedure

1. Prepare buffer solutions for 7.00 pH and either 4.00 pH or 10.00 pH. Use the 4.00 pH and 7.00

pH solutions for measurements that are expected to be on the lower side of the scale. Use the

7.00 pH and 10.00 pH solutions for measurements that are expected to be on the higher side of

the pH scale. Note that all three ranges can be calibrated for a full 3-point pH calibration if

desired

2. Connect the pH Electrode to the meter

3. Switch the meter ON by pressing and holding the power button for at least 1.5 seconds. Ensure

that the pH mode of operation is selected as described earlier in the Measurement section

4. Manually adjust the temperature compensation value (in Setup Mode) to match the buffer

solution temperature or use the supplied temperature probe for automatic temperature

compensation as discussed earlier (see the Temperature Compensation section for details)

5. Rinse the electrode with distilled water to remove residual solution

6. Immerse the pH Electrode and temperature Probe (if used) in the 7.00 pH buffer solution and

agitate the solution gently with the Electrode

7. Allow the calibration to stabilize for 15 to 30 seconds and view the reading on the meter LCD

8. Press and hold the CAL button for at least 1.5 seconds until the CAL icon appears on the

display and then release the CAL button

9. Use the arrow keys to scroll to the 7.00 pH display

10. Press the ENTER button to save the calibration data

11. Repeat steps number 5 through 10 for the 4.00 pH and 10.00 pH buffer solutions

12. Repeat the entire calibration to ensure optimal accuracy. Remember to rinse the Electrode

before placing it into a new solution

8 SDL100-EU-EN V1.4 7/13

Clearing pH Calibration data

1. From the normal operation mode, press and hold the CAL button for at least 1.5 seconds until

the CAL icon appears on the display and then release the CAL button

2. Use the arrow keys to scroll to the CLR display

3. Press ENTER and all calibration data will be erased

Datalogging and PC Interface

Types of Data Recording

Manual Datalogging: Manually log up to 99 readings onto an SD card via push-button press.

Automatic Datalogging: Automatically log data onto an SD memory card where the number of

data points is virtually limited only by the card size. Readings are logged at a rate specified by

the user.

RS-232/USB: The meter includes an RS-232/USB PC interface jack located on the lower right side

of the meter under the snap-off compartment cover. For streaming of data to a PC via the RS232

Output jack, the optional 407001-USB kit (RS232 to USB cable and driver CD) along with the 407001

software (available free at www.extech.com/sdl100) are required. 

SD Card Information

Insert an SD card (from 1G size up to 16G) into the SD card slot at the bottom of the meter. The

card must be inserted with the front of the card (label side) facing toward the rear of the meter.

If the SD card is being used for the first time it is recommended that the card be formatted and

the logger’s clock set to allow for accurate date/time stamping during datalogging sessions.

Refer to the Setup Mode section for SD card formatting and time/date setting instructions.

European and USA numerical formats differ. The data on the SD card can be formatted for

either format. The meter defaults to USA mode where a decimal point is used to separate units

from tenths, i.e. 20.00. The European format uses a comma, i.e. 20,00. To change this setting,

refer to the Setup Mode section.

Manual Datalogging

In the manual mode the user presses the LOG button to manually log a reading onto the SD card.

1. Set the sampling rate to ‘0’ seconds as described in the Setup Mode section.

2. Press and hold the LOG button for at least 1.5 seconds and the DATALOGGER icon will appear

on the LCD; the lower portion of the display will show ”P N” (N = memory position number 1-

99).

3. Momentarily press the LOG button to store a reading. The DATALOGGER icon will flash each

time a data point is stored.

4. Use the ▲and ▼buttons to select one of the 99 data memory positions in which to record.

5. To exit the manual datalogging mode, press and hold the LOG button for at least 1.5 seconds.

The DATALOGGER icon will switch off.

9 SDL100-EU-EN V1.4 7/13

Automatic Datalogging

In automatic datalogging mode the meter takes and stores a reading at a user-specified sampling

rate onto an SD memory card. The meter defaults to a sampling rate of one second. To change the

sampling rate, refer to the Setup Mode section (the sampling rate cannot be ‘0’ for automatic

datalogging):

1. Select the sampling rate in the Setup Mode (refer to Setup Mode section) to a value other than

zero.

2. Press and hold the LOG button for at least 1.5 seconds. The meter will flash the

DATALOGGER icon at the selected sampling rate indicating that readings are now being

automatically recorded to the SD card.

3. If a card is not inserted or if the card is defective, the meter will display SCAN SD indefinitely.

In this case, switch the meter OFF and try again with a valid SD card.

4. Pause the datalogger by pressing the LOG button momentarily. The DATALOGGER icon will

stop flashing and the sample rate will display for a short time. To resume logging simply press

the LOG button again momentarily.

5. To terminate the datalogging session press and hold the LOG button for at least 1.5 seconds.

6. When an SD card is used for the first time a folder is created on the card and named PHA01.

Up to 99 spreadsheet documents (each with 30,000 readings) can be stored in this folder.

7. When datalogging begins a new spreadsheet document named PHA01001.xls is created on

the SD card in the PHA01 folder. The data recorded will be placed in the PHA01001.xls

document until 30,000 readings are reached.

8. If the measurement session exceeds 30,000 readings, a new document will be created

(PHA01002.xls) where another 30,000 readings can be stored. This method continues for up to

99 documents, after which another folder is created (PHA02) where another 99 spreadsheet

documents can be stored. This process continues in this same fashion with folders PHA03

through PHA10 (last allowable folder).

SD Data Card to PC Data Transfer

1. Complete a datalogging session as detailed in above in the previous sections. Hint: For the

first few tests, simply record a small amount of test data. This is to ensure that the datalogging

process is well understood before committing to critical, large scale datalogging.

2. With the meter switched OFF, remove the SD Card.

3. Plug the SD Card directly into a PC SD card reader. If the PC does not have an SD card slot,

use an SD card adaptor (available at most outlets where computer accessories are sold).

4. Power the PC and run a spreadsheet software program. Open the saved documents in the

spreadsheet software program (see example spreadsheet data screen below).
