PRECAUTIONS FOR USE
This instrument is compliant with safety standard IEC 61010-2-030, for voltages 5V with report to ground. Failure to observe the
safety instructions may result in electric shock, re, explosion, and destruction of the instrument and of the installations.
The operator and/or the responsible authority must carefully read and clearly understand the various precautions to be taken
in use. Sound knowledge and a keen awareness of electrical hazards are essential when using this instrument.
Observe the conditions of use, namely the temperature, the relative humidity, the altitude, the degree of pollution, and the
place of use.

2.2. FUNCTIONS OF THE INSTRUMENT
The C.A 10101 is a pH-meter in a watertight housing. It can be used to measure pH, temperature, and oxidation reduction potential
(ORP), depending on which electrode is connected.
This instrument is easy to use. It has extensive stand-alone capabilities and can be used:
to calibrate the electrode using a set of buer solutions,
to automatically identify the pH buer solution,
to display temperature measurements in °C or in °F,
to display the time,
to record the measurements,
to communicate with a PC via a USB cable.
The Data Logger Transfer software can be installed on a PC and is used to congure the instruments, to program a recording
session and to recover the recorded measurements.
2.3. KEYPAD
The functions indicated above the line on the keys are accessed by a short press.
The functions indicated below the line are accessed by a long press.
To prevent inadvertently switching the instrument on, the On/O key requires a long press.

A short press on the MEM key records the measurement and the temperature.
A long press on the REC key starts or stops a manual recording session.
A short press on the pH/mV key selects the type of measurement (pH or ORP) that matches the electrode
connected.
A long press on the °C/°F key selects display of the temperature measurement in °C or in °F.
A short press on the key toggles the backlighting on and o. Once lit, it goes o after 30 seconds.
A short press on the CAL key is used to look up the current calibration and start the calibration procedure for
the cell connected.
A long press on the END key is used to terminate the calibration procedure in progress.
A short press on the ▲ or ▼ key is used to set the temperature in manual mode.
During the calibration, a long press on the ▲ or ▼ key selects the calibration set.

3. USE IN STAND-ALONE MODE
> 2s
The instrument can operate in two modes:
the stand-alone mode described in this section,
the record mode, in which it is controlled by a PC. This mode is described in the next section.
In order to ensure proper operation of the instrument, always leave the electrode connected and the cap on the USB connector closed.
Keep your electrode in a bottle containing an electrolytic solution. Never keep the electrode in distilled or de-ionized water.
3.1. PH MEASUREMENT
3.1.1. FIRST USE
During the rst use, connect the pH electrode supplied to the measuring instrument. Connect the connector of the electrode to
the instrument and screw the ring tight.
3.1.2. CALIBRATION
The C.A 10101 is delivered with two buer solutions (NIST), pH 4.01 and 7.00.
You can calibrate at one point, two points, or three points. Two solutions are provided with the instrument, the third is an option.
Remove the storage bottle from the electrode. Rinse the electrode in de-ionized water, then dry it.

Pour each buer solution (one, two, or three depending on
the number of calibration points) into a beaker. The third
buer solution (NIST, pH 9.18) is an option.

If you spot an air bubble on the glass membrane, shake the electrode to eliminate it.
Plunge the end of the electrode in the rst buer solution.
Take care to completely submerge the glass ball and the salt bridge in the solution.
Minimum level of immersion.
The electrode supplied with the instrument has an integrated temperature probe. There is therefore no need to measure the temperature of the solution.
