5.1 Measuring

5.1.1 Measuring the pH value

When connecting an earthed PC/printer, measurements cannot be performed in earthed media as the values would be incorrect. The USB interface is not galvanically isolated.
To ensure the high measurement accuracy of the measuring sys­tem, always measure with a calibrated electrode (see section 5.2 C
ALIBRATION, page 25).
1. Connect the pH electrode to the meter.
2. If necessary, select the measured parameter with <M>.
3. When measuring without temperature sensor: Temper the test sample or measure the current temperature and enter it
with <>
<>.
Stability control
(AutoRead)
& HOLD function
4. Immerse the pH electrode in the test sample. The measured value is checked for stability (automatic stability control). The display of the measured parameter flashes.
5. Wait for a stable measured value. The display of the measured parameter no longer flashes.
The stability control function (AutoRead) continually checks the stability of the
measurement signal. The stability has a considerable impact on the reproduc­ibility of measured values.
The measured parameter flashes on the display
as soon as the measured value is outside the stability range
when the automatic Stability control is switched off.
You can activate or switch off the automatic Stabil ity control function (see
section 7.1.1 CHANGING THE SETTINGS FOR PH MEASUREMENTS, page 38).

The [HOLD] status indicator is displayed. The HOLD function is active.
You can terminate the Stabi lity control function and the HOLD func­tion with <AR> or <M> at any time.
2.
Using <ENTER>, activate the Stability control function manually.
The [AR] status indicator appears while the measured value is assessed as not stable. A progress bar is displayed and the display of the measured parameter flashes. The [HOLD][AR] status indicator appears as soon as a stable mea­sured value is recognized. The progress bar disappears and the display of the measured parameter stops flashing. The current measurement data is output to the interface. Measurement data meeting the stability control criterion is marked by AR.
Criteria for a stable

5.1.2 Measuring the temperature

For reproducible pH and ORP measurements, it is essential to measure the temperature of the test sample. You have the following options to measure the temperature:
Automatic measurement of the temperature with the temperature sensor
(NTC 30 or Pt 1000) integrated in the sensor.
Measurement with an external temperature sensor.
Manual determination and input of the temperature.
The measuring instrument recognizes whether a suitable sensor is connected and automatically switches on the temperature measurement.
The display of the temperature indicates the active temperature measuring mode:

If you wish to measure (or calibrate) without temperature sensor, proceed as follows:
1. Measure the current temperature of the test sample.
2. Set the temperature value with <><>.
or
In the <F1>/[Menu]/Man. temperature menu, set the temperature value with <><>.

5.2 Calibration

5.2.1 Why calibrate?

pH electrodes age. This changes the zero point (asymmetry) and slope of the pH
electrode. As a result, an inexact measured value is displayed. Calibration determines and stores the current values of the zero point and slope of the electrode. Thus, you should calibrate at regular intervals.

5.2.2 When do you have to calibrate?

After connecting a sensor
Routinely within the framework of the company quality assurance
When the calibration interval has expired

5.2.3 Automatic calibration (AutoCal)

Make sure that in the sensor menu, Buffer menu, the buffer set is correctly
selected (see
7.1.1 CHANGING THE SETTINGS FOR PH MEASUREMENTS, PAGE 38).
Use any one to five buffer solutions of the selected buffer set in ascending or descending order.
Below, calibration with Technical buffers (TEC) is described. When other buffer
sets are used, other nominal buffer values are displayed. Apart from that, the procedure is identical.
If single-point calibration was set in the menu, the calibration proce­dure is automatically finished with the measurement of buffer solu­tion 1 and the calibration record is displayed.
1. Connect the pH electrode to the meter.
2. Keep the buffer solutions ready.
When measuring without temperature sensor: Temper the buffer solutions or measure the current temperature.
3. In the measured value display, select the measured parameter pH or mV
with <M>.
4. Start the calibration with <CAL>.
The calibration display for the first buffer appears (voltage display).

5.2.5 Calibration points

Calibration can be performed using one to five buffer solutions in any order (single-point to five-point calibration). The meter determines the following values and calculates the calibration line as follows:
Determined values
1-point Asy Zero point = Asy
2-point Asy
Slp.
3-point to 5-point
Asy Slp.
Displayed calibration data
Slope = Nernst slope
(-59.2 mV/pH at 25 °C)
Zero point = AsySlope = Slp.
Zero point = AsySlope = Slp.
The calibration line is calculated by lin­ear regression.
You can display the slope in the units, mV/pH or % (see section

5.2.7 Continuous measurement control (CMC function)

The Continuous Measurement Control (CMC function) facilitates to evaluate the current measured value instantly and definitely.
After each successful calibration the scale of the pH measuring range is displayed in the measured value display. Here you can very clearly see whether or not the current measured value is in the calibrated part of the measuring range.
The following information is displayed:
1 Measuring range for which a valid calibration is available (white).
Measured values in this range are suitable for documentation.
2 Measuring range for which no valid calibration is available (shaded).
Measured values in this range are not suitable for documentation. If necessary, calibrate the meter with buffers covering this measuring range. If the current measured value is outside the calibrated range, this area is shaded stronger. If a measured value is outside the measuring range pH 0 - 14, over­flow arrows are displayed at the left or right edge of the measuring range.

14 Firmware update

Available firmware updates are provided on the Internet. With the firmware update program and a PC you can update the firmware of the pH
7310 to the newest version.
For the update you have to connect the meter to a PC.
For the update via the USB interface, the following is required:
a free USB interface (virtual COM port) on the PC
the driver for the USB interface (on the enclosed CD-ROM)
the USB cable (included in the scope of delivery of the pH 7310).
1. Install the downloaded firmware update on a PC.
An update folder is created in the Windows start menu. If an update folder already exists for the meter (or meter type), the new data is displayed there.
2. In the windows start menu, open the update folder and start the firmware
update program.
3. Using the USB interface cable, connect the pH 7310 to a USB interface
(virtual COM port) of the PC.
4. Switch on the pH 7310.
5. In the firmware update program, start the update process with OK.
6. Follow the instructions of the firmware update program.
During the programming process, a corresponding message and a progress bar (in %) are displayed. The programming process takes approx. three minutes. A terminatory message is displayed after a successful programming process. The firmware update is completed.
7. Disconnect the pH 7310 from the PC.
The pH 7310 is ready for operation again.
After switching the meter off and on you can check whether the meter has taken over the new software version (see

Slope The slope of a linear calibration function.
Zero point The zero point of a pH combination electrode is the pH value at which
the electromotive force of the pH combination electrode at a specified temperature is zero. Normally, this is at 25 °C.
General information
Adjusting To manipulate a measuring system so that the relevant value (e. g. the
displayed value) differs as little as possible from the correct value or a value that is regarded as correct, or that the difference remains within the tolerance.
AutoRange Name of the automatic selection of the measuring range.
Calibration Comparing the value from a measuring system (e. g. the displayed
value) to the correct value or a value that is regarded as correct. Often, this expression is also used when the measuring system is adjusted at the same time (see adjusting).
Measured parameter The measured parameter is the physical dimension determined by
measuring, e. g. pH, conductivity or D.O. concentration.

Glossary pH 7310
Measured value The measured value is the special value of a measured parameter to
be determined. It is given as a combination of the numerical value and unit (e. g. 3
m; 0.5 s; 5.2 A; 373.15 K).
Molality Molality is the quantity (in Mol) of a dissolved substance in 1000 g sol-
vent.
Reset Restoring the original condition of all settings of a measuring system.
Resolution Smallest difference between two measured values that can be dis-
played by a meter.
Stability control
Function to control the measured value stability.
(AutoRead )
Standard solution The standard solution is a solution where the measured value is
known. It is used to calibrate a measuring system.
Temperature function Name of a mathematical function expressing the temperature behav-
ior of a test sample, a sensor or part of a sensor.
Test sample Designation of the test sample ready to be measured. Normally, a test
sample is made by processing the original sample. The test sample and original sample are identical if the test sample was not processed.
