Overview HandyLab 680

1.4 Automatic sensor recognition

The automatic sensor recognition for IDS sensors allows

 to operate an IDS sensor at different meters without recalibration

 to operate different IDS sensors at one meter without recalibration

 to assign measurement data to an IDS sensor

– Measurement datasets are always stored and output with the

sensor name and sensor series number.

 to assign calibration data to an IDS sensor

– Calibration data and calibration history are always stored and

output with the sensor name and sensor series number.

 to activate the correct cell constant for conductivity sensors auto-

matically

 to hide menus automatically that do not concern this sensor

To be able to use the automatic sensor recognition, a meter that supports the automatic sensor recognition (e.g. HandyLab 680) and a digital IDS sensor are required.

In digital IDS sensors, sensor data are stored that clearly identify the sensor. The sensor data are automatically taken over by the meter.

1.5 IDS sensors

IDS sensors

 support the automatic sensor recognition

 show only the settings relevant to the specific sensor in the setting

 process signals in the sensor digitally so that precise and interfer-

ence-free measurements are enabled even with long cables

 facilitate to assign a sensor to a measured parameter with differently

colored couplings

 have quick-lock couplings with which to fix the sensors to the meter.

ba77041e01 03/2014

HandyLab 680 Overview

Sensor data from IDS

sensors

IDS sensors transmit the following sensor data to the meter:

 SENSOR ID

–Sensor name

– Sensor series number

 Calibration data

– Calibration date

– Calibration characteristics

– Calibration interval

– Selected buffer set (IDS pH sensors only)

– Cell constant (IDS conductivity sensors only)

– Calibration history of the last 10 calibrations

 Measurement settings (IDS conductivity sensors only)

– The set measured parameter

– The set reference temperature

– The set temperature coefficient

– The set TDS factor

The calibration data are updated in the IDS sensor after each calibration procedure. A message is displayed while the data are being updated in the sensor.

Note

In the measured value display, you can display the sensor name and series number of the selected sensor with the [Info] softkey. You can then display all further sensor data stored in the sensor with the [More] softkey.

4.7.1 General information

You can measure the following parameters:

 pH value [ ]

 Sensor voltage [mV]

Note

The sensor connection and the USB-B (device) interface are galvanically isolated. This facilitates interference-free measurements also in the following cases:

 Measurement in grounded test samples

 Measurement in one test sample with several sensors connected to

one HandyLab 680

Temperature

measurement

For reproducible pH measurements, it is essential to measure the temperature of the test sample. IDS sensors measure the temperature with a temperature sensor integrated in the IDS sensor.

When operating a sensor without integrated temperature sensor you have the following options to determine the temperature of the measuring solution:

 Temperature measurement via the integrated temperature sensor of

an IDS sensor. When the measured temperature value is taken from another IDS

↑

sensor the [TP

] status indicator is displayed in the measuring window. In the measuring window of the IDS sensor providing the measured temperature value the [TP

↓

] status indicator is displayed.

 Manual determination and input of the measured temperature value.

Note

The settings for the temperature can be adjusted in the menu for calibration and measurement settings (siehe section 4.7.3).

Preparatory activities Perform the following preparatory activities when you want to measure:

ba77041e01 03/2014

4.7.4 pH calibration

Why calibrate? During the operation of an IDS pH sensor, the zero point (asymmetry)

and slope of the sensor change with time.As a result, an inexact measured value is displayed. Calibration determines the current values of the zero point and slope of the pH sensor and stores them in the measuring instrument. Thus, you should calibrate at regular intervals.

4.7.9 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 (back-

ground color). Measured values in this range are suitable for documentation.

2 Measuring range for which no valid calibration is available (light

gray). Measured values in this range are not suitable for documentation. Calibrate the meter with buffers covering this measuring range. If the current measured value is not in the calibrated range, the color of this range changes to dark gray. 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.

3 Currently measured pH value (needle)

4 Marking lines for all nominal buffer values used with the last valid

calibration

The limits of the calibrated range are determined by the buffers used for calibration:

Lower limit: Buffer with lowest pH value - 2 pH units Upper limit: Buffer with highest pH value + 2 pH units

QSC color scale

The double arrow on the color scale indicates the current sensor evaluation.

4.7.10 QSC function (sensor quality control)

General information

on the QSC function

The QSC function (Quality Sensor Control) is a new sensor evaluation for digital IDS sensors. It evaluates the condition of an IDS pH sensor individually and with a very fine grading.

On the display, the QSC color scale (from green to yellow) indicates the current sensor evaluation by means of a pointer.

In the printout, the sensor evaluation is quoted as a percentage (1-100).

The finely graded sensor evaluation of the QSC function promptly calls your attention to changes of the sensor. Thus you can do what is necessary to restore the optimum measuring quality (e.g. clean, calibrate or replace the sensor).

QSC calibration The QSC function is enabled by once carrying out an additional three-

point calibration with special QSC buffer solutions. It covers the measuring range of the sensor from pH 2 to pH 11. The QSC initial calibration determines the actual condition of the sensor and stores it as a reference in the sensor. To meet the high requirements of a QSC initial calibration, the QSC initial calibration should optimally be carried out with the initial commissioning of the sensor.

Carry out the normal calibrations for your special measuring range with your usual standard solutions as previously done.

Note

As soon as the QSC function was enabled for an IDS sensor, it is not possible to return to the sensor evaluation with the sensor symbol for this sensor.

three-point calibration. Follow the user guide.

Note

Carry out the QSC initial calibration very carefully. It determines the reference value for the sensor. This reference value cannot be overwritten or reset. As soon as the QSC function was enabled, it is not possible to return to the sensor evaluation with the sensor symbol.

Evaluation The evaluation is based on the accuracy required by the user. Together

with the nominal value (100 %), this results in a validity scope for the check.

If the measured value is within the validity scope, no cleaning or user calibration is required.

If the measured value is outside the validity scope, the sensor shaft and membrane should be cleaned, and the check should then be repeated.

Example:

– Required accuracy: ± 2 %.

– In water vapor-saturated air or air-saturated water, the nominal

value for the relative D.O. saturation (abbreviated: saturation) is 100 %.

– Therefore, the validity scope is 98 ... 102 %

– The check resulted in a measured value of 99,3 %

The measurement error is within the specified validity scope. No cleaning or user calibration is required.

Aging slightly changes the cell constant, e. g. due to coatings. As a result, an inexact measured value is displayed. The original characteristics of the cell can often be restored by cleaning the cell. Calibration determines the current value of the cell constant and stores this value in the meter. Thus, you should calibrate at regular intervals (we recommend: every 6 months).
