OPERATIONAL GUIDE
POWER CONNECTION
Plug the 12 VDC adapter into the power supply socket. Notes: • These instruments use non volatile memory to retain the pH,
mV, temperature calibrations and all other settings, even when unplugged.
• Make sure a fuse protects the main line.
ELECTRODE AND PROBE CONNECTIONS
For HANNA P type pH or ORP electrodes (with internal reference) connect the electrode’s BNC to the socket on the back of the instrument (#6 on page 4 and 5) and the pin to the appropiate socket (#5 on page 4 and 5).
Notes: • Electrode condition and response information is displayed on the
bar graph gauges during the day the calibration is performed only if HANNA P type (PIN) electrodes are used.
• If the electrode is not recognized as a HANNA P type electrode, the bar graph gauges will blink (25 seconds OFF, 4 seconds ON, full bar graph).
For temperature measurements and automatic temperature compensation, connect the temperature probe to the appropriate socket.
INSTRUMENT START-UP
• Turn the instrument on by pressing the ON switch.
• All LCD tags are displayed and a beep is heard while the instrument performs a self test.
• The instrument displays then the date on the primary LCD and the time on the secondary LCD, along with the “Remove protective cap” and “Unscrew electrode refilling cap” messages alternatively blinking. These messages alert the user to follow displayed instructions in order to take proper measurements and to improve electrode response.
• The instrument automatically defaults to pH or mV measurement mode, if a HANNA P type pH or ORP electrode is detected.
• If no HANNA P type electrode is detected, the instrument starts in the same range as it was at power off.
11
pH MEASUREMENTS
Make sure the instrument has been calibrated before taking pH measurements.
• Press MODE to enter pH mode.
Note: To change pH resolution, press MODE again or
simply Resolution from the left keyboard.
• Submerge the electrode tip and the temperature probe approximately 4 cm (1½”) into the sample to be tested. Allow time for the electrode to stabilize.
• The pH is displayed on the primary LCD and the temperature on the secondary LCD.
OUT CAL RANGE feature warns the user if the current reading is out of the calibrated area. The calibrated area is that part of the pH range in which the calibration point assures an accurate reading. If the reading is taken out of the calibration area, the “OUT CAL RANGE” message will blink. The calibrated area is calculated in according with the pH resolution used during the reading. To avoid having this message, the calibration points have to be well distributed in the desired measurement range.
If measurements are taken successively in different samples, it is recommended to rinse the electrode thoroughly with deionized water or tap water and then with some of the next sample to prevent cross-contamination and to condition the electrode before immersing it into the sample solution.
The pH reading is affected by temperature. In order to measure the pH accurately, the temperature effect must be compensated for. To use the Automatic Temperature Compensation feature, connect and submerge the HI 7662-T temperature probe into the sample as close as possible to the electrode and wait for a few seconds.
If the temperature of the sample is known, manual temperature compensation can be performed by disconnecting the temperature probe.
The display will then show the default temperature of 25 ºC (77 ºF) or the last temperature reading with the “ºC” (or “ºF”) tag blinking. The temperature can be adjusted with the ARROW keys or the numerical keypad (from –20.0 ºC to 120.0 ºC or from –4.0 ºF to 248.0 ºF).
12
Press NUM to change the temperature value with the numerical keys. The “2nd” tag will blink. Press CLR if you want to delete digits of the displayed value. The remaining digits will shift to right. Introduce the desired value. If the value is out of temperature range, a long beep will be heard. Press NUM to confirm the new value or CAL to escape without changing the temperature.
mV/ORP MEASUREMENTS
Oxidation-reduction potential (REDOX) measurements provide the quantification of the oxidizing or reducing power of the tested sample.
To correctly perform a redox measurement, the surface of the ORP electrode must be clean and smooth.
• Press MODE or simply mV from the left keyboard to enter mV range.
• Submerge the tip of the ORP electrode (4 cm/1½”) into the sample to be tested and allow a few seconds for the reading to stabilize.
• The instruments display the mV reading on the primary LCD and the temperature on the secondary LCD.
• If the reading is out of range, the closest full-scale value will be displayed blinking on the primary LCD.
RELATIVE mV MEASUREMENTS
To enter Relative mV mode, press MODE or simply RelmV from the left keyboard. The relative mV reading will be displayed on the primary LCD and the current temperature value on the secondary LCD.
Note: Press or from the left keypad to toggle between temperature
and absolute mV reading on the secondary LCD.
13
The Relative mV reading is equal to the difference between the absolute mV input value and relative mV offset established in the relative mV calibration.
TEMPERATURE MEASUREMENTS
Connect the HI 7662-T temperature probe to the appropri- ate socket. Immerse the temperature probe into the sample and allow the reading on the secondary LCD to stabilize.
Note: The temperature can be displayed in Celsius degrees (ºC) or in
Fahrenheit degrees (ºF) (see SETUP for details, page 27).
14
pH CALIBRATION
Calibrate the instrument often, especially if high accuracy is required. The instrument should be recalibrated:
• Whenever the pH electrode is replaced.
• At least once a week.
• After testing aggressive chemicals.
• If “CAL DUE” tags are blinking during measurement.
• If “OUT CAL RANGE” message blinks during pH measurement (the measurement range is not covered by current calibration).
PREPARATION
Pour small quantities of the buffer solutions into clean beakers. If possible, use plastic or glass beakers to minimize any EMC interferences.
For accurate calibration and to minimize cross-contamination, use two beakers for each buffer solution. One for rinsing the electrode and one for calibration.
If you are measuring in the acidic range, use pH 7.01 or 6.86 as first buffer and pH 4.01 or 1.68 as second buffer. If you are measuring in the alkaline range, use pH 7.01 or 6.86 as first buffer and pH 10.01/9.18 or 12.45 as second buffer.
For extended range measurements (acidic and alkaline), perform a five-point calibration by selecting five of the available buffers.
PROCEDURE
If 0.001 pH resolution is selected, each selected standard buffer value can be updated in according with the value on the production lot certificate at 25 ºC (77 ºF). Press 2nd then SET key when a standard pH buffer with
0.001 resolution is selected. The buffer value will start blinking and it can
be changed with the ARROW keys in a ±0.020 pH window. Calibration has a choice of 7 memorized buffers: pH 1.68, 4.01, 6.86,
7.01, 9.18, 10.01, 12.45 and 2 custom buffers.
The custom buffers are a special option that allows the user to calibrate in a buffer solution different from a standard one. Up to two custom buffers can be set in SETUP menu (see page 27). When selected during calibration, the “CUSTOM C1” or “CUSTOM C2” tags are displayed on the LCD and the custom buffer value can be changed in a ±1.0 pH window, around the set value.
For accurate measurements it is recommended to perform a five-point calibration. However, at least a two-point calibration is suggested.
The instruments will automatically skip the buffers used during calibration and the buffers which are in a ±0.2 pH window, around one of the calibrated buffers.
15
All new calibrations will override existing stored calibration data, in a ±0.2
CAL
pH window, at these calibration points. The slopes adjacent to the calibration points will be reevaluated.
If the new calibration point has no correspondence in the existing stored calibration data, it is added to it if this is not full, or the instrument will ask which buffer will be replaced by the current buffer.
If at least a two-point calibration has been performed and an offset correction of the electrode is desired, keeping unchanged the existing slopes, perform a one-point calibration with “OFFS” option selected in SETUP menu. If “Pnt” option is selected, the slopes adjacent to the calibration points will be reevaluated.
FIVE-POINT CALIBRATION
• Immerse the pH electrode and the temperature probe approximately 4 cm (1½”) into a buffer solution of your choice (pH 1.68, 4.01, 6.86, 7.01,
9.18, 10.01, 12.45, custom buffer 1 or 2, if these were set) and stir gently. The temperature probe should be close to the pH electrode.
• Press CAL. The “CLEAR CAL IF NEW ELECTRODE” message will be displayed blinking on the LCD for a few seconds if the instrument was calibrated before and calibration was not cleared.
Press CLR if you are using a new electrode or want to clear calibration history, or wait a few seconds to continue.
Press CAL again or the ARROW keys to skip this message. Note: It is very important to clear calibration history when a new
electrode is used because most errors and warning messages that appear during calibration depend on calibration history.
• The instruments will display the measured pH on the primary LCD and the “7.01” buffer on the secondary LCD, together with “CAL” and “Cal Point 1” tags and “7.01” tag blinking.
• If necessary, press the ARROW keys to select a different buffer value.
16
• The “ ” tag will blink on the LCD until the reading is stable.

• The instruments store the calibration values and return to normal measurement mode.
FOUR, THREE or TWO-POINT CALIBRATION
• Proceed as described in “FIVE-POINT CALIBRATION” section.
• Press CAL after the appropriate accepted calibration point. The instruments will return to measurement mode and will memorize the calibration data.
ONE-POINT CALIBRATION
Two SETUP selectable options are available: “Pnt” and “OFFS”. If the “Pnt” option is selected, the adjacent slopes will be reevaluated. If the “OFFS” option is selected, an electrode offset correction is performed
keeping unchanged the existing slopes.
• Proceed as described in “FIVE-POINT CALIBRATION” section.
• Press CAL after the first calibration point was confirmed. The instruments will memorize the one-point calibration data and will return to measure­ment mode.
Notes: • Press MODE or / from the left keyboard to toggle between
pH buffer and temperature reading during calibration.
• Each time a buffer is confirmed, the new calibration parameters replace the old calibration parameters of the corresponding buffer.
If current confirmed buffer has no correspondence in the existing stored calibration and this is not full, the current buffer is added to the existing stored calibration.
18
If the existing stored calibration is full (five calibration points), the instrument asks which buffer will be replaced by current buffer.
Press the ARROW keys to select another buffer to be replaced. Press CFM to confirm the buffer that will be replaced. Press CAL to leave calibration without replacing.
Note: The replaced buffer is not removed from calibration list and it can
be selected for the next calibration points.
WORKING WITH CUSTOM BUFFERS
If at least one custom buffer was set in SETUP menu, it can be selected for calibration by pressing the ARROW keys. Press 2nd then SET key if you want to adjust the buffer value. The buffer value, displayed on the secondary LCD, will start blinking.
Use the ARROW keys to change the buffer value. After about 5 seconds you performed the last change, the buffer value is
updated. Press 2nd then SET key if you want to change it again. Note: Custom buffer value can be adjusted in a ±1.00 pH window, around
the set value.
CLEAR CALIBRATION
Press CLR in any moment during calibration. The “CLEAR CAL” tag will appear and “donE” message will be displayed on the secondary LCD.
All old calibrations, starting with current selected buffer are cleared and the instrument continues calibration.
If CLR is pressed when “CLEAR CAL IF NEW ELECTRODE” message is displayed blinking, the calibration history is deleted and the instrument will display “hiSt” message on the primary LCD and “donE” message on the secondary LCD, along with “CLEAR CAL” tags. The calibration process will continue starting with 7.01 pH buffer as first buffer.
Note: If CLR is pressed during the first calibration point, the instrument
returns to measurement mode.
19
ENHANCED CALIBRATION MESSAGES
The stored calibration history to used issue error and warning messages during calibration to help ensure the highest accuracy.
As electrode aging is normally a slow process, substantial changes from previous calibrations are likely due to a temporary problem with the electrode or buffers. Calibrating under these conditions will result measurement errors.
ERROR MESSAGES
Error messages appear if one or all of the calibration parameters are out of accepted windows. When these messages are displayed, calibration cannot be confirmed.
WRONG BUFFER
This message appears when the difference between the pH reading and the value of the selected buffer is too big. If this error message is displayed, check if you have selected the proper calibration buffer.
WRONG BUFFER TEMPERATURE
This message appears if the temperature of the buffer is outside the defined buffer temperature range.
WRONG & CONTAMINATED BUFFER / CHECK ELECTRODE
This message appears if the buffer used is contaminated or the electrode is supposed to be either broken or very dirty.
WRONG & CHECK ELECTRODE / CLEAN ELECTRODE
This message appears if the electrode is supposed to be broken or very dirty.
WRONG & OLD / CLEAR CAL & OLD
This message appears as a result of an erroneous slope condition. If the slope between current calibration point and one of the previous calibration, that was not overriden in current calibration, exceeds slope window (80% to 110%), this message will appear. Press CLR to clear old parameters
and continue calibration process or CAL to leave calibration.
WARNING MESSAGES
During calibration, the Calibration Check feature analyzes the electrode calibration history and warns the user when problems have been detected. It is possible to override the warning messages and confirm the calibration but it is not recommended.
CLEAR CAL IF NEW ELECTRODE
This warning is displayed any time you enter calibration and calibration is not cleared or the new calibration parameters are better than the previous ones. You can clear calibration history by pressing CLR, or continue by pressing CAL.
20
CLEAN ELECTRODE
This warning message appears in order to alert the user that some dirt or deposits could be on the electrode. Refer to the electrode Cleaning Procedure. This ensures the removal of film, dirt or deposits on the glass bulb and reference junction.
CONTAMINATED BUFFER
This warning message appears in order to alert that the buffer could be contaminated. Refresh your buffer and continue the calibration procedure.
CHECK ELECTRODE / CHECK BUFFER
This warning message appears when the electrode slope exceeds the highest accepted slope limit (110%). Check your electrode and use fresh buffers.
CLEAN ELECTRODE / CHECK BUFFER
This warning appears in order to alert the user that the electrode can be dirty or the buffer contaminated. Refer to the electrode Cleaning Procedure and use fresh buffers.
ELECTRODE CONDITION &
ELECTRODE RESPONSE TIME
When using an appropriate HANNA BNC electrode with pin, the instrument will assess electrode condition and response time during each calibration and
will display the calibration status for the rest of the day.
The digital gauge for electrode condition is a representation of the offset and slope performance of the electrode. The response gauge is a function of the stabilization time between the first and second calibration buffers. These gauges reflect electrode performance and should be expected to slowly decrease over the life of the electrode. The condition and response gauges show the electrode’s condition at the time of calibration only and are displayed for the rest of the day the calibration is performed. For a continuous display of electrode condition at the time of calibration, daily calibration is necessary. The electrode condition and response time are also visible when viewing GLP data. If the instrument is not calibrated, it has been calibrated only in one point, or if calibration history was deleted, the electrode condition and response gauges will be empty.
21
The electrode response is evaluated only when calibration has been performed using pH 7.01 or pH 6.86, pH 4.01 and pH 10.01 or pH 9.18 buffers. When the instrument cannot evaluate the electrode response or pH
1.68/12.45 buffer was used as calibration buffer, the response gauge will be empty.
If the electrode is in a very poor condition, the first condition segment will blink. If the electrode response is very slow, the first response segment will blink.
RELATIVE mV CALIBRATION
• Press CAL when the instrument is in RELATIVE mV measurement mode.
The relative mV value is displayed on the primary LCD and the absolute mV value on the secondary LCD.
• Use the ARROW keys or the numerical keys if you want to change the
displayed relative mV value.
Notes: • Press MODE to select another resolution if the displayed value
allows it (e.g. if 199.9 is displayed, by pressing MODE the value will change to 1999; if 19.9 is displayed, nothing will happen if pressing MODE).
• Pressing CLR the displayed value is set to 0.0 mV.
• Press NUM from the left keyboard if you want to change the value using the numerical keys. The “2nd” tag will blink.
• Press CLR to delete the last digit.
• Press MODE to select another resolution (see above).
• Press NUM again to leave the numerical keyboard.
• When the reading is stable, in mV range and the Relative mV offset is
inside the offset window (±2000 mV), “CFM” tag blinks.
• Press CFM to confirm relative mV calibration. The instrument will
return to measurement mode.
• If the absolute mV reading is out of range or the Relative mV offset is out of the offset window, “WRONG” tag will blink. Change the input value or the Relative mV offset to complete the calibration process.

GOOD LABORATORY PRACTICE (GLP)
GLP is a set of functions that allows storage and retrival of data regarding the maintenance and status of the electrode.
All data regarding pH and Rel mV calibration is stored for the user to review when necessary.
CALIBRATION ALARM TIME OUT
For pH calibration, all the instruments allow the user to set the number of days before the next required pH calibration. This value can be set from 1 to 7 days. The default setting is OFF (disabled).
The instrument checks if the time-out has expired. If the time elapsed, “CAL DUE” tags will blink as a reminder.
Note: If the instrument was not calibrated or all calibration parameters
were cleared, “CAL” “DUE” tags will be displayed even if the feature is disabled in SETUP menu.
LAST pH CALIBRATION DATA
The last pH calibration data is stored automatically after a successful calibration.
To view the pH calibration data, press 2nd then GLP key or simply GLP from the left keyboard (HI 120) when the instrument is in pH (mV) measurement mode.
The instrument will display the date (yyyy.mm.dd) of the last calibration.
Press the ARROW keys to view the next calibration parameter (pressing the key):
• The time (hh:mm) of the last calibration.
23
• The pH calibration offset.

LOGGING
LOG
This feature allows the user to log pH and Rel mV, together with temperature automatically. All logged data can be transferred to a PC through the RS232 port.
The maximum logging space is 1000 record locations (samples). This can be divided in 1 up to 50 lots (one lot can use all the free space). The lot ID (number) is between 1 and 99 (after 99 it restarts from 1). Only up to 50 lots can be memorized at one time, even if there is free space available.
Note: When the logged lots are more than one, the total number of
samples can be less than 1000, even with full memory, due to the fact that logging memory is divided in pages of 20 samples each.
The appropriate logging interval can be set from 5 seconds to 180 minutes (see SETUP for details, page 27).
Up to 50 record locations are also provided.
LOGGING THE CURRENT DATA (LOG ON DEMAND)
To store the current reading into memory, press LOG while in measurement mode.
The instrument will display the current date (mm.dd) on the primary LCD, the record number on the secondary LCD, the “LOG” tag blinking for a few seconds and then the free locations number.
If there are less than 6 memory locations remaining, the record number and “Lo” message will blink for a few seconds to alert the user and then the free locations number is displayed on the LCD.

TEMPERATURE CALIBRATION
CFM
(for technical personnel only)
All the instruments are factory calibrated for temperature. Hanna’s temperature probes are interchangeable and no temperature
calibration is needed when they are replaced. If the temperature measurements are inaccurate, temperature recalibration
should be performed. For an accurate recalibration, contact your dealer or the nearest Hanna
Customer Service Center, or follow the instructions below.
• Prepare a vessel containing ice and water and another one containing hot water (at approximately 50 ºC or 122 ºF). Place insulation material around the vessels to minimize temperature changes.
• Use a calibrated thermometer with a resolution of 0.1 ºC or 0.1 ºF as a reference thermometer. Connect the HI 7662-T temperature probe to the appropriate socket.
• With the instrument off, press and hold down the CAL & keys, then power on the instrument. The “CAL” tag will appear and the secondary LCD will show 0.0 ºC or 32.0 ºF. The primary LCD will display the measured temperature or the ”----” message, if the measured tempera­ture is out of range.
• Immerse the temperature probe into the vessel with ice and water as close as possible to the reference thermometer. Allow a few seconds for the probe to stabilize.
• Use the ARROW keys to set the reading on the secondary LCD to that of ice and water, measured by the reference thermometer. When the reading is stable and close to the selected calibration point, “CFM” tag will blink.
• Press CFM to confirm. The secondary LCD will display
50.0 ºC or 122.0 ºF.
• Immerse the temperature probe into the second vessel as close as possible to the reference thermometer. Allow a few seconds for the probe to stabilize.
• Use the ARROW keys to set the reading on the secondary LCD to that of the hot water.
• When the reading is stable and close to the selected calibration point, “CFM” tag will blink.
40
• Press CFM to confirm. The instrument returns to
CFM
measurement mode.
Note: If the reading is not close to the selected calibration
point, “WRONG” tag will blink. Change the temperature probe and restart calibration.
mV CALIBRATION
(for technical personnel only)
All the instruments are factory calibrated for mV. Hanna’s ORP electrodes are interchangeable and no mV calibration is
needed when they are replaced. If the measurements are inaccurate, mV recalibration should be performed. For an accurate recalibration, contact your dealer or the nearest Hanna
Customer Service Center, or follow the instructions below. A two or three-point calibration can be performed at 0.0 mV, 600.0 mV
and 1800.0 mV.
• Attach to the BNC connector (#6 on page 4 and 5) a mV simulator with an accuracy of ±0.1 mV.
• With the instrument off, press and hold down the CFM & LOG keys, then power on the instrument. The “CAL” tag will appear and the secondary LCD will show 0.0 mV.
• Set 0.0 mV on the simulator. When the reading is stable and close to the selected calibration point, “CFM” tag will blink.
• Press CFM to confirm. The secondary LCD will display 600 mV.
• Set 600.0 mV on the simulator. When the reading is stable and close to the selected calibration point, “CFM” tag will blink.
• Press CFM to confirm. The secondary LCD will display 1800 mV.
• Set 1800.0 mV on the simulator. When the reading is stable and close to the selected calibration point, “CFM” tag will blink.
• Press CFM to confirm. The instrument returns to measurement mode.
Notes: • If the reading is not close to the selected calibration point,
“WRONG” tag will blink. Verify calibration condition or contact your vendor if you can not calibrate.

pH BUFFER TEMPERATURE
DEPENDENCE
Temperature has an effect on pH. The calibration buffer solutions are affected by temperature changes to a lesser degree than normal solutions.
During calibration the instrument will automatically calibrate to the pH value corresponding to the measured or set temperature.
During calibration the instrument will display the pH buffer value at 25 ºC (77 ºF).

ELECTRODE CONDITIONING
& MAINTENANCE
PREPARATION PROCEDURE
Remove the protective cap of the pH electrode. DO NOT BE ALARMED IF SALT DEPOSITS ARE PRESENT. This is normal with
electrodes. They will disappear when rinsed with water. During transport, tiny bubbles of air may form inside the glass bulb affecting
proper functioning of the electrode. These bubbles can be removed by “shaking down” the electrode as you would do with a glass thermometer.
If the bulb and/or junction is dry, soak the electrode in HI 70300 or HI 80300 Storage Solution for at least one hour.
45
For refillable electrodes:
If the filling solution (electrolyte) is more than 2½ cm (1”) below the fill hole, add HI 7082 or HI 8082 3.5M KCl Electrolyte Solution for double junction or HI 7071 or HI 8071 3.5M KCl+AgCl Electrolyte Solution for single junction electrodes.
For faster response, unscrew the fill hole screw during measurements.
For AmpHel® electrodes:
If the electrode does not respond to pH changes, the battery run down and the electrode should be replaced.
MEASUREMENT
Rinse the pH electrode tip with distilled water. Immerse the tip (bottom 4 cm /1½”) in the sample and stir gently for a few seconds.
For a faster response and to avoid cross-contamination of the samples, rinse the electrode tip with a few drops of the solution to be tested, before taking measurements.
See that the sleeve holes of the ORP probe are completly submerged. Tap the probe repeatedly to remove any air bubbles that may be trapped inside the sleeve.
STORAGE PROCEDURE
To minimize clogging and assure a quick response time, the glass bulb and the junction of pH electrode should be kept moist and not allowed to dry out.
Replace the solution in the protective cap with a few drops of HI 70300 or
HI 80300 Storage Solution or, in its absence, Filling Solution (HI 7071 or HI 8071 for single junction and HI 7082 or HI 8082 for double junction
electrodes). Follow the Preparation Procedure on page 45 before taking measurements.
Note: NEVER STORE THE ELECTRODE IN DISTILLED OR DEIONIZED WATER.
PERIODIC MAINTENANCE
Inspect the electrode and the cable. The cable used for connection to the instrument must be intact and there must be no points of broken insulation on the cable or cracks on the electrode stem or bulb. Connectors must be perfectly clean and dry. If any scratches or cracks are present, replace the electrode. Rinse off any salt deposits with water.
pH Probe Maintenance
For refillable electrodes:
Refill the reference chamber with fresh electrolyte (HI 7071 or HI 8071 for single junction or HI 7082 or HI 8082 for double junction electrodes). Allow the electrode to stand upright for 1 hour.
Follow the Storage Procedure above.
46
pH CLEANING PROCEDURE
General Soak in Hanna HI 7061 or HI 8061 General
Cleaning Solution for approximately ½ hour.
Protein Soak in Hanna HI 7073 or HI 8073 Protein
Cleaning Solution for 15 minutes.
Inorganic Soak in Hanna HI 7074 Inorganic Cleaning
Solution for 15 minutes.
Oil/grease Rinse with Hanna HI 7077 or HI 8077 Oil and
Fat Cleaning Solution.
IMPORTANT: After performing any of the cleaning procedures, rinse the electrode thoroughly with distilled water, refill the reference chamber with fresh electrolyte (not necessary for gel-filled electrodes) and soak the electrode in HI 70300 or HI 80300 Storage Solution for at least 1 hour before taking measurements.
47
PRINTER MAINTENANCE
INSERT
TEAR
CUT
(HI 122 only)

TEMPERATURE CORRELATION
FOR pH SENSITIVE GLASS
The resistance of glass electrodes partially depends on the temperature. The lower the temperature, the higher the resistance. It takes more time for the reading to stabilize if the resistance is higher. In addition, the response time will suffer to a greater degree at temperatures below 25 ºC (77 ºF).
Since the resistance of the pH electrode is in the range of 50 – 200 Mohm, the current across the membrane is in the pico Ampere range. Large currents can disturb the calibration of the electrode for many hours.
For these reasons high humidity environments, short circuits and static discharges are detrimental to a stable pH reading.
The pH electrode’s life also depends on the temperature. If constantly used at high temperatures, the electrode life is drastically reduced.
Typical Electrode Life
Ambient Temperature 1 – 3 years 90 ºC (194 ºF) Less than 4 months 120 ºC (248 ºF) Less than 1 month
Alkaline Error
High concentrations of sodium ions interfere with readings in alkaline solutions. The pH at which the interference starts to be significant depends upon the composition of the glass. This interference is called alkaline error and causes the pH to be underestimated. Hanna’s glass formulations have the indicated characteristics.
