ISTR9110 06/03 OPERATIONAL GUIDE Initial preparation Install the supplied batteries by following the instructions in the "Battery replacement" section. Connect the HI 1048B pH electrode to the BNC plug on the top of the meter. · Remove the electrode protective cap, submerge the tip (4cm/1. 5") into the sample to be tested and allow the reading to stabilize. · Since pH readings are directly affected by temperature, for accurate measurements, follow the instructions for manual temperature compensation. If the temperature of the sample is significally different from that at which the electrode was stored, allow a few minutes to reach thermal equilibrium. Notes: · Before taking any measurements: - make sure the meter is calibrated. - rinse the electrode thoroughly with some of the sample to be tested, to avoid cross contamination. · After use, switch the instrument off, clean the electrode with HI 70635 and/or HI 70636 solution (see "Accessories" section) and then rinse with clean water. Pour a few drops of HI 70300 storage solution in the protective cap and replace it before storing the electrode. Manual temperature compensation · Press the "pH/°C SET" key to select the manual temperature mode. · Remove the protective cap on the top of the meter to access the trimmers. · Measure the temperature of the solution with the supplied ChecktempC thermometer. · Using the supplied screwdriver, adjust the "T" trimmer to display the measured temperature value, e. g. [. . . ] Reattach the cover and tighten the two screws. · Rinse first with clean water and then with a small amount of pH 3. 00 buffer. Dip the electrode and the ChecktempC into the pH 3. 00 buffer, stir gently and wait for the reading to stabilize. Record the buffer temperature and adjust the "T" trimmer accordingly. · Using the supplied screwdriver, adjust the "pH3" trimmer until the meter displays the pH value at the buffer temperature (see table), e. g.
