Omega CTpH-110V-G-AL, CTpH-220V-G-AL User guide

Figure 11. Stabilizing Arm Use

Powering Up the Unit

1. Remove the sensor from the clip (but leave the sensor
connected to the recorder). Examine the code on the
handle (you will compare this code with that displayed on
the recorder LCD display).

2. Turn the power switch (marked “PWR” – behind the
Control Panel Door) to the ON (“|”) position. The
recorder beeps once and then the LCD displays:

Figure 12. First LCD Display

Figure 13. Temperature Code on Display

This two-character code, made up of numbers and/or
letters 0, 1, ... 9, a, b, and c (your code will be AC).

Figure 14. pH Code on Display

This single-character code, a number or a letter 0, 1, ... 9, a, b, or c
(your code will be 6). If either of these codes do not match,
consult the manual for more information. If you want to see the
codes again, turn the recorder OFF and then ON again.

After the codes appear, the LCD displays the current
temperature in °C and pH depending on the position of the
pH/°C switch. At the same time the pens, one at a time, move
to the right a short distance and then move to the left to the
zero position. Then both pens one at a time move to the correct
positions. The recorder is now fully operational.

outlet as appropriate. The ac adaptor has a 6 foot
(2 meter) cable.

Recorder Placement

As shipped, the recorder is set up for wall mounting
(there is a decorative cover at the bottom of the
recorder which remains in place for wall mounting - it
comes off for bench top use).

Mount the Recorder on the Wall

1. Use the template provided in the wall mounting kit

to locate the mounting holes.

2. Drill the holes.

3. Place anchors and screws in the holes.

4. Hang the recorder using the keyhole slot mounting

holes provided on the back side of the recorder.
Refer to Figure 9.

backup in case of ac power failure. (NOTE:
the chart light bulbs function only when the
ac adaptor is used).

Figure 2. Battery Placement

Installing the Chart Paper

There are 20 charts of 3 different styles - 1 day/°C,
7 day/°C, and 32 day/°C. Choose the appropriate
chart paper and switch setting (1, 7 or 32
depending on paper used) for your application.
Turn the recorder over (so that it is front face up)
and open the main door. Install the paper as
shown in Figure 3. Remove the chart paper knob
(item #2), line up the current time line on the chart
paper with the arrow on the chart base and then
replace the knob to hold the chart paper in place.
