Instruction Manual CyberScan PC5500/ 5000

3.2 pH Electrodes & Ion Specific Electrodes (PCD5500 &

PC5500 only

This meter allows you to use two types of pH electrodes: the conventional glass pH electrode and the field effect transistor (FET) pH electrode. If both types of pH electrodes are connected, the meter will read the FET electrode.

1. Carefully remove the protective cover from the end of the electrode. Before first using your glass pH electrode, soak it 2-4 hours in an electrode storage solution, pH 4 buffer, or KCI solution.

2. Remove the shorting cap on BNC connector. Connect the combination pH electrode in to the BNC input connector.

If a combination electrode isn’t used, connect the indicating pH

electrode into the BNC input connector. Plug the reference electrode into the reference pin jack. Also, install the ATC probe

into the ATC jack.

Note: be sure to connect all probes to the appropriate channel connectors (for example: Input 1, Ref 1 and ATC1).

Option: Connect the optional FET electrode by plugging it into

the FET jack on the back meter panel. Allow the FET electrode to warm up five minutes before use.

Connect ion specific electrodes in the same manner as pH electrodes.



If both a conventional and a FET electrode are connected to the meter, do not put them in a solution together because you will get inaccurate measurements. Do not discard the BNC shorting cap.

6

Instruction Manual CyberScan PC5500/ 5000

3. Rinse and blot-dry (don’t wipe) electrodes between each measurement. Rinse electrodes with distilled or deionized water, or a portion of the next solution to be measured.

4. Between measurements, store conventional pH electrodes storage solution, pH 4 buffer, or KCI solution. Always leave the filling hole of liquid filled combination electrodes open. Refill when the level of solution gets below the manufacturer’s recommended level.



Proper electrode care is fundamental to obtaining reliable pH measurements. Improper care of the electrode may cause the meter reading to drift, respond slowly, or produce erroneous readings. For this reason, the electrode should always be conditional and used in accordance with manufacturer’s instructions.

7

Instruction Manual CyberScan PC5500/ 5000

3.3 Conductivity Probes

This meter allows you to use two types of conductivity cells: the 2-cell conductivity cell with dual pin connector and the 4-cell conductivity cell with DIN connector. If both a 2-cell and a 4-cell conductivity probe are connected, the meter will read the 4-cell conductivity probe.

1. Carefully remove the protective cover from the end of the conductivity cell. Before using your conductivity cell, soak it for 5 to 10 minutes in distilled or deionized water.

2. Connect the 2-cell conductivity cell to the 2-cell jack. Install the ATC probe in the ATC jack.

OR Connect the 4-cell conductivity cell to the 4-cell jack. The 4-cell

conductivity cells have built in ATC probes. Therefore, there is no need to install a separate ATC probe.

8

Instruction Manual CyberScan PC5500/ 5000

3. Rinse and blot-dry (don’t wipe) probe between each measurement. Rinse probe with distilled or deionized water, or a portion of the next solution to be measured.

4. Between measurements, store conductivity probes dry.

This selection screen allows you to choose the amount of information that you want to have displayed on the screen. There are two levels to choose from. Both of the levels provide identical results. The amount of information appearing on the measure screens and the number of setup parameters you can manipulate will vary from Basic to Advanced procedural levels.

LEVEL1- Basic level

This level option offers a full set of prompts to guide you through the basic operation of the meter. The information provided on the screen is minimal to reduce clutter. It includes the measurement and the last standardization time and buffer values. The data box at the bottom of the measure screen includes the current date, time, sample temperature and the electrode performance. In addition to the limited information appearing on the measure screen, there are also fewer options available to you in the setup screens of the various measurement modes.

LEVEL 2- Advanced level

This option allows you to access to all of the features available on the meter. A full set of prompts is available on virtually every screen to lead you through the operation of the meter. You are also given access to all setup parameters for the various measurement modes. Any parameter not appearing on the basic level setup screens will maintain the value previously set in the advanced level setup screens. They will not automatically default to factory default settings. This is ideal if you want to “lock” in a parameter in the Advanced Level and switch to the Basic Level so others cannot accidentally modify the parameters.

To Select Procedural Level

1. Access the select procedural level screen from the System Setup screen. The current procedural level is displayed on the screen.

2. Use the numbered buttons on the right of the screen to select the desired procedural level.

3. Touch enter to accept the procedural level and return to the System Setup screen.

It is a well known fact that pH is a temperature dependent measurement. The factory default setting is 25. if you are taking the pH of a solution that is not 25 and you are not using an Automatic Temperature Compensation (ATC)( probe, then you should meter the temperature value of that solution in order to get the correct pH value. The current default temperature setting will be displayed when the Set Default Temperature screen is displayed.

To Set the Default Temperature

1. Access the Set Default Temperature screen from the pH (Ion, conductivity) Setup screen. The current default temperature is displayed on the screen.

The Isopotential point is the millivolts reading for an electrode at which temperature has no effect on the measurement. pH electrodes are constructed so that the isopotential point is theoretically zero millivolts. This is very close to a pH of 7. Most pH electrodes do not achieve this value precisely. However, they are close enough so that it is not usually necessary to use an isopotential point other than zero. The true isopotential point of any given electrode must be determined experimentally. (See APPENDIX: Determining Isopotential Points Experimentally, page 151)

86

Instruction Manual CyberScan PC5500/ 5000

Direct Reading with Standards

The direct reading method is the most common method of ion measurement. When using this method, you will use standards of known values to standardize the meter with ion standards. An ionic strength adjuster (ISA) is added to both the standards and the sample. 2 to 5 standards are used to standardize the meter. The standards should bracket the expected value of the sample. The Ion specific electrode is immersed in a stirring sample and the ion concentration is read directly from the meter.

Direct Reading with Blank offset

The blank method is a method commonly used for determination of ion concentration in a sample with a very low level of ions present. Because of background interference at low concentration levels, a blank is used and the value of the ion concentration in the blank is subtracted from the value of the measured sample.

Known Addition Method

The known addition method is an incremental method used for samples with a complex matrix. A standard with a known concentration of the ion species of interest is added to the sample. The difference in mV potential is then used to calculate the concentration of the ion of interest.

Known Subtraction Method

The known subtraction method is also an incremental method. The ion of interest in the sample is not identical to the ion in the standard solution. The standard of known ion concentration that is added to the sample quantitatively reacts in the sample with the ion of interest. This reaction removes a fixed amount of the ion of interest from the sample solution. The ion concentration is then calculated based upon the difference in the mV potential.

Analate addition

The analate addition method is a modification of the known addition method. In the Analate Addition method, the initial mV measurement is recorded in a standard solution. The ion in the standard solution is the ion of interest and is detected by the ion selective electrode in use. A sample containing the ion of interest is then added to the standard solution. The difference in the mV potential is then used in the calculation of the concentration of the ion of interest. This method is useful if the sample temperature is significantly different than that of the standard. When the small volume of hot sample is added to the larger volume, the temperature impact becomes negligible.

87

Instruction Manual CyberScan PC5500/ 5000

Analate Subtraction

The analate subtraction method is particularly useful in the event that there is no ion specific electrode available to directly measure the concentration of the ion of interest. This method employs the addition of a sample of the ion of interest to a standard containing a different ion of known concentration. The ion of interest will quantitatively react with the ion in the standard, creating a complex and removing the ion from the standard solution. The ion specific electrode is specific for the ion in the standard solution and not for the ion of interest. The difference in mV potential is used to calculate the concentration of the ion of interest based upon this quantitative reaction.

8.3 Select Measurement Units

This screen allows you to select the units in which the meter will report the concentration of the ion of interest. The current units are displayed on the screen.

To Select Measurement Units

1. Access the Select Measurement Units screen from the Ion Setup screen. The current units are displayed on the screen.

To Select Auto Read Mode

You can use this meter when the Auto Read Mode function is active or when it is inactive. When the Auto Read function is active, the meter will lock onto a reading when the meter recognises it as stable. The meter will not deviate from this reading until meas is touched. If the auto Read function is inactive, then the meter will continuously monitor the concentration of the ion of interest. The display on the measure screen display will indicate any fluctuation in the ion concentration.

To Set Ion Stability Criteria

The setup screen allows you to determine how quickly the meter will respond to electrode drift. There are 3 speed settings.

The Ion Stability Criteria is set the same way as previously described in pH Setup.

To Set Default Temperature

Ion concentration is a temperature dependent measurement. The default temperature option allows you to select the temperature that will be used by the meter to calculate the correct ion concentration. The factory default setting is 25°C. You should enter the temperature value of that solution as the default temperature in order to get the correct concentration value. The current default temperature setting will be displayed when the Set Default Temperature screen is displayed.

The Ion Default Temperature is set the same way as previously described in pH setup. See page 56 for instructions.



Regardless of the status of the Auto Read Mode, STABLE will be displayed as the meter recognises the measurement as stable.



Stability criteria are more stringent at the slower setting. Therefore, if the highest precision is required, then a slow setting would be desired. The medium or slow setting is recommended for Ion work.



Best results are obtained when the standards and the samples are at the same temperature.

8.4 Select Electrode Type

This screen allows you to select the type of electrode that is specific for your ion of interest. Your choice of electrode informs the meter which default slope to use in the calculations made for the electrode efficiency and sample concentration. Once you have selected an electrode, you will not be required to enter the default slope numerically.

Note: The default slope value specific for the electrode that you choose is a theoretical slope value that is used in the calculations to determine the efficiency of your electrode. This slope value is not the slope value that is displayed in the data box of the measurement screen. You will still need to standardize the meter using ion standards to determine the actual efficiency of your electrode.

To Select Electrode Type

1. Access the Select Electrode Type screen from the Ion Setup screen. The current units are displayed on the screen.

2. Use the arrow keys to highlight the desired units.

3. Touch enter to accept Electrode Type and return to the Ion Setup screen.

To Set Isopotential point

The Isopotential point is the millivolts reading for an electrode at which temperature has no effect on the measurement. Ion selective electrodes, unlike pH electrodes, are not designed to achieve any particular isopotential point. If samples and standards are at different temperatures when performing ISE experiments, it will be necessary to experimentally determine the isopotential point of your own Ion Specific Electrode.

The Ion Isopotential Point is set the same way as previously described in pH setup. See page 58 for instructions.

To Set Alarm Limits

This option allows you to set alarm limits for the Ion measuring mode. If the ion concentration measurement is outside the boundaries set by the minimum and maximum limits, an audible alarm and/ or a visual warning will appear to let you know that your sample measurement was outside of the set limits.

The Ion Alarm Limits is set the same way as previously described in pH setup. See page 60 for instructions.

To Set Print Criteria

This screen allows you to select which criteria are printed with the measurement when you print the data or send it to the computer. The status of the current print criteria is displayed on the screen. The criteria option is active if “ON” appears to the right of the option. It is inactive if “OFF” appears to the right of the option. Any active criteria will be printed on demand.

The Ion Print Criteria are set the same way as previously described in pH setup. See page 62 for instructions.

It is inactive if “OFF” appears to the right of the option. Any active criteria will be stored with the measurement. All storage criteria will be stored in the meter’s memory with the measurement. However, only active items will appear on the View Stored Data screens. Changing the status of the storage criteria to active from inactive will allow the criteria to be displayed with the previously stored data.
