1. Description
The Omega PHE-2700-DLA 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 enable the PHE2700-DLA to connect directly to PHTX-275Y, PHEH-275G(ISO), PHEH-275Y(ISO) pH/ORP Sensor Electronics or PHEH-276Y(ISO),
PHEH-276G(ISO) pH/ORP Preamplifi er. The adapters include a selector switch for pH or ORP simulation.
The switch triggers automatic sensor-recognition software in Omega pH/ORP instrumentation.
2. Features
A) Power OFF Button.
B) Output simulation buttons and indicators.
Simulate pH and ORP output at fi ve fi xed values:
pH 4, pH 7, pH 10, –700 mV and +700 mV.
Pressing one of these buttons turns the PHE-2700-DLA on.
C) Low battery indicator.
D) High switch:
• Adds 1000 M resistance in series with output.
• Simulates high impedance of pH electrodes.
• Used to verify proper preamplifi er operation.
E) Adapter cable:

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

Does the meter respond to buffers correctly?
Yes: Problem resolved by cleaning/calibration.
No: Go to next step.
Step 2: Electrode: Connect PHE-2700-DLA as in "A"
This step requires the adapter cable.
• Connect the PHE-2700-DLA to the appropriate adapter cable,
then insert adapter into PHEH-276Y(ISO) and
PHEH-276G(ISO) 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 PHE-2700-DLA 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 er:
Connect PHE-2700-DLA as in "B"
• Connect the PHE-2700-DLA directly into the meter using the
bypass adapter cable.
• Connect a 3 K resistor (not supplied) to the temp input of
the meter.
• Press output simulation buttons.
Does the meter display a valid temperature (20 ºC to 30 ºC)
and pH/ORP?
Yes: If there are no cable junctions from the preamplifi er to the
meter, replace the preamplifi er. If there are junctions, go to
next step.
No: Problem is in meter. Repair or replace the meter.
Step 5: Check interconnecting cable and junctions
• Connect PHE-2700-DLA 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?
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.

PHEH-275Y(ISO) sensor electronics simulates the output of the pH/ORP electrode.
• Always use the HI button with the adapter cable.
• Connect the PHE-2700-DLA to the adapter cable, then insert adapter into PHTX-275Y, PHEH-275G(ISO), PHEH-275Y(ISO)
electronics.
• Monitor the PHTX-275Y, PHEH-275G(ISO), PHEH-275Y(ISO) output using current monitoring device.
• Slide the PHE-2700-DLA 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 PHTX-275Y, PHEH-275G(ISO), PHEH-275Y(ISO) Sensor Electronics. Replace the Sensor Electronics.
