Note Incorrect calibration of pH combination electrodes leads to incorrect measured values. Calibrate regularly before measuring. Stability control AutoRead During the measuring procedure, the stability control function is automatically activated. The stability control function (drift control) checks the stability of the measured pH signal and the stability of the measured temperature signal. The stability has a considerable effect on the reproducibility of the measured value. For identical measurement conditions, the following applies: Temperature sensor Measured parameter Reproducibility Response time pH value < 0.02 pH units > 15 seconds Temperature < 0.3 °C of temperature value > 15 seconds You can measure with or without a temperature sensor. If a temperature sensor is connected, it is indicated on the display by TP. Note The pH meter automatically recognizes the type of the temperature sensor used. Therefore, you can connect combination electrodes with an NTC30 or Pt1000. The temperature measurement is absolutely essential for a reproducible pH measurement. If the measurement is made without a temperature sensor, proceed as follows: 16 1 Measure the current temperature using a thermometer. 2 Set the temperature value with <▲><▼>. ba75791e05 05/2011 pH 3110 Operation Note When calibrating without temperature sensor, also set the current temperature of each buffer solution manually with the <▲><▼> keys. 4.2.1 Measuring the pH value 1 Perform the preparatory activities according to section 4.2. 2 Immerse the pH combination electrode in the test sample. 3 Using , scroll as necessary until the measured parameter pH is displayed. 4 Wait for a stable measured value.

The AR display indicator flashes as long as the measured value is not yet stable. U 4 8 63 213 mV TP °C AR Note ORP electrodes are not calibrated. However, you can check ORP electrodes using a test solution. 18 ba75791e05 05/2011 pH 3110 Operation 4.3 Why calibrate? When do you have to calibrate? Calibration pH combination electrodes age. This changes the zero point (asymmetry) and slope of the pH combination electrode. As a result, an inexact measured value is displayed. Calibration determines the current values of the zero point and slope of the combination electrode and stores them in the measuring instrument. Thus, you should calibrate at regular intervals. After connecting another combination electrode When the sensor symbol flashes on the display: – e.g. after the calibration interval has expired AutoCal is adapted to the permanently programmed buffer solutions as a fully automatic single-point, two-point or three-point calibration. The buffer solutions are automatically recognized by the meter. The following buffer sets are suitable: Technical buffers (AutoCal TEC) DIN buffers (AutoCal DIN) Calibration points Calibration can be performed using one, two or three buffer solutions in any order (single-point, two-point or three-point calibration). The meter determines the following values and calculates the calibration line as follows: 1-point Determined values Displayed calibration data ASY Zero point = ASY Slope = Nernst slope (-59.16 mV/pH at 25 °C) 2-point 3-point ASY SLO Zero point = ASY Slope = SLO Note You can display the slope in the units, mV/pH or %. You can display the zero point in the units, mV or pH. ConCal Stability control AutoRead ba75791e05 05/2011 This function is a conventional two-point calibration using two buffer solutions (pH 7.0 ± 0.5 and any other buffer solution) or a single-point calibration using any buffer solution and is used as a high-speed method. The calibration procedure automatically activates the stability control function. The current measurement with stability control can be terminated at any time (accepting the current value) by pressing . 19 Operation Calibration record Displaying the calibration data Calibration evaluation pH 3110 When finishing a calibration, the new calibration values are first displayed as an informative message and stored. You can display the data of the last calibration (see section 4.4). After calibrating, the meter automatically evaluates the calibration. The zero point and slope are evaluated separately. The worse evaluation of both is taken into account. The evaluation appears on the display as the sensor symbol and in the calibration record.

Specialist terms Index The glossary briefly explains the meaning of the specialist terms. However, terms that should already be familiar to the target group are not described here. The index helps you to find the topics that you are looking for. Glossary Adjusting To manipulate a measuring system so that the relevant value (e. g. the displayed value) differs as little as possible from the correct value or a value that is regarded as correct, or that the difference remains within the tolerance. Asymmetry see zero point AutoRange Name of the automatic selection of the measuring range. AutoRead Calibration Function to control the measured value stability. Comparing the value from a measuring system (e. g. the displayed value) to the correct value or a value that is regarded as correct. Often, this expression is also used when the measuring system is adjusted at the same time (see adjusting). Electromotive force of a combination electrode The electromotive force U of the combination electrode is the measurable electromotive force of an electrode in a solution. It equals the sum of all the galvanic voltages of the electrode. Its dependency on the pH results in the electrode function, which is characterized by the parameters, slope and zero point. Junction The junction is a porous body in the housing wall of reference electrodes or electrolyte bridges. It arranges the electrical contact between two solutions and makes the electrolyte exchange more difficult. The expression, junction, is also used for ground or junctionless transitions. Measured parameter ba75791e05 05/2011 The measured parameter is the physical dimension determined by measuring, e. g. pH, conductivity or D.O. concentration. 45 Lists pH 3110 Measured value Molality Molality is the quantity (in Mol) of a dissolved substance in 1000 g solvent. ORP voltage The ORP is caused by oxidizing or reducing substances dissolved in water, if these substances become effective at an electrode surface (e. g. a gold or platinum surface). pH value The pH is a measure of the acidic or basic effect of an aqueous solution. It corresponds to the negative decadic logarithm of the molal hydrogen ions activity divided by the unit of the molality. The practical pH value is the value of a pH measurement. Potentiometry Name of a measuring technique. The signal (depending on the measured parameter) of the electrode is the electrical potential. The electrical current remains constant. Reset Resolution Slope Standard solution Test sample Zero point 46 The measured value is the special value of a measured parameter to be determined. It is given as a combination of the numerical value and unit (e. g. 3 m; 0.5 s; 5.2 A; 373.15 K). Restoring the original condition of all settings of a measuring system. Smallest difference between two measured values that can be displayed by a measuring instrument. The slope of a linear calibration function. The standard solution is a solution where the measured value is known by definition. It is used to calibrate a measuring system. Designation of the test sample ready to be measured. Normally, a test sample is made by processing the original sample. The test sample and original sample are identical if the test sample was not processed. The zero point of a pH electrode is the pH value at which the electromotive force of the pH electrode at a specified temperature is zero. Normally, this is at 25 °C. ba75791e05 05/2011 pH 3110 Lists Index A P Authorized use . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 10 AutoCal . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 22 AutoRead . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 16 Precautions . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 9 B Battery compartment . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 13, 37 R Reset . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 34 All meter settings . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 35 Calibration values . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 34 Resolution setting . . . . . . . . . . . . . 30, 31, 32 C Calibration . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 19 Calibration evaluation pH . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 20 Calibration interval . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 21 Calibration points pH . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 19 ConCal . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 19, 24 S Safety . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 9 Scope of delivery . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 13 Single-point calibration . . . . . . . . . 19, 23, 25 Slope pH . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 19 Socket field . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 8 Stability control . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 16 D Display . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 7 T E Two-point calibration . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 19 ConCal . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 24 Energy saving feature . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 14 I Z Zero point of pH combination electrode . . . 19 Initial commissioning . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 14 Interval Calibration . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 21 K Keys . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 6 L LoBat . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 40 M Measurement accuracy . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 21 O Operational safety . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 10 ORP electrode . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 18 ORP voltage . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 18 ba75791e05 05/2011 47 Lists 48 pH 3110 ba75791e05 05/2011 Wissenschaftlich-Technische Werkstätten GmbH Dr.-Karl-Slevogt-Straße 1 D-82362 Weilheim Germany Tel: Fax: E-Mail: Internet: +49 (0) 881 183-0 +49 (0) 881 183-100 +49 (0) 881 183-420 Info@WTW.com http://www.WTW.com
