1. Description
The Signet 2759 pH/ORP Simulator is a battery-powered millivolt generator that simulates pH values of 4, 7 and 10, plus ORP values of
± 700 mV. This device is useful as a troubleshooting aid and for general verifi cation of system operation. It is not a substitute for periodic
system calibration with pH buffers or test solutions. Accessory adapter cables (sold separately) enable the 2759 to connect directly to
2750 pH/ORP Sensor Electronics or 2760 pH/ORP Preamplifi er. The adapters include a selector switch for pH or ORP simulation. The
switch triggers automatic sensor-recognition software in Signet pH/ORP instrumentation.

Step 1: Routine maintenance and calibration using buffers
• The most common problem in pH or ORP systems are related
to electrode depletion or physical obstruction and fouling.
• Perform routine electrode maintenance, including cleaning and
inspection of the electrode, then calibrate the system using
buffer solutions. See the electrode and 2760 Preamplifi er
manuals for more information.
Does the meter respond to buffers correctly?
Yes: Problem resolved by cleaning/calibration.
No: Go to next step.
Connecting the 2759 output to the
3-2759.391 adapter cable then
connecting to the 2760 preamplifi er
simulates the output of the pH/ORP
electrode.
This confi guration is used to verify
general system operation. Every
element of the system is tested except
the electrode.

• Press any output simulation button to
turn the 2759 on.
• Press OFF button to turn the 2759 off.
Connecting the 2759 directly to the meter with the 3-2759.390
Bypass cable simulates the output of the 2760 preamplifi er.
Step 2: Electrode
Connect 2759 as in "A"
This step requires the 3-2759.391 adapter cable.
• Connect the 2759 to the appropriate adapter cable, then insert
adapter into 2760 preamplifi er.
• Slide the Mode selector switch to the proper position.
• Press output simulation buttons and then HI button.
(The HI button must be pressed after each output button.)
• See Section 5: Response Chart for proper display
Does the meter read valid temp and pH/ORP?
Yes: The electrode is at fault. Replace the electrode.
No: Go to next step.
Step 3: Verify meter calibration
• Recalibrate the temperature, standard and slope in meter, using
2759 as input.
• Press output simulation buttons.
See Section 5: Response chart for proper display
Does the meter display valid pH or ORP?
Yes: Problem resolved by meter calibration.
No: Go to next step.
Step 4: Check the meter and preamplifi erConnect 2759 as in "B"
• Connect the 2759 directly into the meter using the bypass
adapter cable.
• Connect a 3 K resistor (not supplied) to the temp input of

next step.
No: Problem is in meter. Repair or replace the meter.
Step 5: Check interconnecting cable and junctions
• Connect 2759 and bypass cable at any J-Box or cable splice
between the preamplifi er and the meter.
• Press output simulation buttons.
See Section 5: Response chart for proper display
Does the meter read valid temp and pH/ORP?
• Press any output simulation button to
turn the 2759 on.
• Press OFF button to turn the 2759 off.

Yes: Problem is preamplifi er or cable from preamplifi er to junction.
No: Problem is in cable.
Check all terminals and splices. Replace cable if necessary.

4. Troubleshooting 2750 pH/ORP Electronics
Before using the 2759:
• The most common cause of pH/ORP system problems is electrode depletion.
• Perform routine electrode maintenance, including cleaning and inspection of the electrode, then calibrate the system.
• See the electrode and 2750 Sensor manuals for detailed information.
If the problem persists, or to verify general system operation:
This test procedure requires the 3-2759.391 adapter cable.
Connecting the 2759 output to the 3-2759.391 adapter cable then connecting the adapter into the 2750 sensor electronics simulates the
output of the pH/ORP electrode.
• Always use the HI button with the 3-2759.391 adapter cable.
• Connect the 2759 to the 3-2759.391 adapter cable, then insert adapter into 2750 electronics.
• Monitor the 2750 output using current monitoring device.
• Slide the 2759 Mode selector switch to the proper position (pH or ORP).
• Press output simulation buttons and then HI button.
(The HI button must be pressed after each output button.)
See Section 5: Response Chart for proper display.
Does the meter read a valid temp and pH/ORP?
Yes: The system is working fi ne or there is a problem with the electrode. Replace the electrode if necessary.
No: Problem is in 2750 Sensor Electronics. Replace the 2750.
• Press any output simulation button to turn the 2759 on.
• Press OFF button to turn the 2759 off.
