Instrucțiuni de configurare

Follow these steps to properly set up your PH-91A PH Electrode Probe:

  1. Despachetați sonda: Carefully remove the PH electrode probe and its protective shell from the packaging.
  2. Verificați pentru daune: Before use, visually inspect the probe, cable, and BNC connector for any signs of damage. Do not use if damaged.
  3. Îndepărtați capacul de protecție: Gently twist and pull off the protective cap from the probe tip. Ensure the tip is moist; if dry, rehydrate it in pH 7 buffer solution for at least 30 minutes before calibration.
  4. Connect to PH Meter/Controller: Align the BNC connector of the probe with the BNC input port on your pH meter or controller. Push the connector in and twist it clockwise until it locks securely.

  5. Calibrare: Refer to your pH meter's instruction manual for specific calibration procedures. It is crucial to calibrate the probe regularly using fresh pH buffer solutions (e.g., pH 4.01, pH 7.00, pH 10.00) to ensure accurate readings.
  6. Plasare: Once calibrated, carefully immerse the probe tip into the solution you wish to measure. Ensure the sensing bulb is fully submerged but avoid submerging the BNC connector or the entire cable.

Important: Always handle the probe tip with care. Avoid touching the glass bulb, as oils from your skin can affect its performance.

Instrucțiuni de operare

After successful setup and calibration, the PH-91A probe is ready for continuous monitoring or spot-checking pH levels.

  1. Pornire: Turn on your connected pH meter or controller.
  2. Sondă de imersie: Place the probe tip into the water or solution you intend to measure. Ensure the sensing bulb is completely submerged.
  3. Stabilizarea citirii: Allow a few moments for the reading on your pH meter to stabilize. pH readings can fluctuate initially before settling.
  4. Record Readings: Note down the pH value displayed on your meter. For continuous monitoring, ensure your device is set up to log data as needed.
  5. Clătiți după utilizare: After each measurement or monitoring period, rinse the probe tip thoroughly with distilled or deionized water to remove any residue.
  6. Depozitare: When not in use, always replace the protective cap, ensuring the sponge inside is kept moist with a few drops of pH 7 buffer solution or electrode storage solution. Never store the probe dry or in distilled water.

Întreţinere

Proper maintenance extends the life and accuracy of your PH-91A probe.

  • Curățare regulată: Rinse the probe tip with distilled or deionized water after each use. For more thorough cleaning, especially if readings become sluggish or inaccurate, soak the probe tip in a specialized electrode cleaning solution for 15-30 minutes, then rinse thoroughly.
  • Frecvența de calibrare: Calibrate your probe regularly, ideally before each critical measurement session or at least once a week for continuous monitoring applications.
  • Depozitare: Always store the probe with its protective cap filled with pH 7 buffer solution or electrode storage solution. Never store the probe dry or in distilled water, as this can dehydrate the glass bulb and shorten its lifespan.
  • Evitați daunele fizice: Handle the probe carefully. Avoid dropping it or allowing the glass bulb to strike hard surfaces.
  • Îngrijirea cablului: Do not bend or crimp the cable excessively, as this can damage the internal wiring.
