The use of advanced technology and the high quality standard of our
instruments are the result of continuous development. This may result
in differences between this operating manual and your instrument.
Also, we cannot guarantee that there are absolutely no errors in this

The instrument warranty covers manufacturing faults that are discov­ered within the warranty period. The warranty does not cover compo­nents that are replaced during maintenance work, e.g. batteries.

The warranty claim extends to restoring the instrument to readiness for
use but not, however, to any further claim for damages. Improper
handling or unauthorized opening of the instrument invalidates any
warranty claim.

To ascertain the warranty liability, return the instrument and proof of
purchase together with the date of purchase freight paid or prepaid.

pH/ 3400i Safety

2 Safety

This operating manual contains basic instructions that you must follow
during the commissioning, operation and maintenance of the measur­ing instrument. Consequently, all responsible personnel must read this
operating manual before working with the measuring system. The op­erating manual must always be available within the vicinity of the mea­suring system.

4.2 pH value / ORP voltage

4.2.1 General information

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

1 Connect the pH electrode to the measuring instrument.

If necessary, press the <M> key repeatedly until the status dis-
play pH (pH measurement) or U (measurement of the ORP
voltage) appears.

2 Adjust the temperature of the buffer solutions or test solutions,

or measure the current temperature, if you measure without a
temperature sensor.

3 Calibrate or check the measuring instrument with the elec-

trode.

4Using <▲ > <▼>, toggle between the pH or mV measuring

modes.

Note

Incorrect calibration of pH electrodes leads to incorrect measured val­ues. Calibrate regularly before measuring.

Warning

When connecting an earthed PC/printer, measurements cannot be per­formed in earthed media as incorrect values would result. The RS232
interface is not galvanically isolated.

Temperature sensor You can measure with or without a temperature sensor. If a tempera-

ture sensor is connected, it is indicated on the display by TP.

Note

The measuring instrument automatically recognizes the type of the
temperature sensor used. Therefore, you can connect temperature
sensors of the NTC30 or Pt1000 type.

The temperature measurement is absolutely essential for a reproduc­ible pH measurement. If the measurement is made without a tempera­ture sensor, proceed as follows:

16

1 Measure the current temperature of the test sample using a

thermometer.

2 Enter the temperature on the instrument: While pressing the

<RUN/ENTER> key, enter the temperature value of the test
sample with <▲ > <▼>.

high resolution, e.g. pH = 4.012.

3 Press the <RUN/ENTER> and <M> key once more.

The measured values are displayed with a low resolution, e.g.
pH = 4.01.

The AutoRead function (drift control) checks the stability of the mea­surement signal. The stability has a considerable impact on the repro­ducibility of the measured values.

For identical measurement conditions, the following criteria apply:

4.3 pH calibration

Why calibrate? pH electrodes age. This changes the asymmetry (zero point) and slope

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

When to calibrate? z After connecting another electrode

z When the sensor symbol flashes

– (after the calibration interval has expired)

– after a voltage interruption, e. g. after changing the batteries

You can select one of 3 calibration procedures:

AutoCal TEC is specially matched to the WTW technical buffer solutions as a fully au-

tomatic two-point calibration. The buffer solutions are automatically
recognized by the measuring instrument. Depending on the instrument
setting (see section 4.8 C
relevant buffer nominal value or the current electrode voltage in mV.
The calibration can be terminated after the first buffer solution. This cor­responds to a single-point calibration. When doing so, the instrument
uses the Nernst slope (-59,16 mV/pH at 25 °C) and determines the
asymmetry of the electrode.

The current AutoRead measurement can be terminated at any time
(accepting the current value) by pressing <RUN/ENTER>.

You can view the data of the last calibration on the display. The pro­ceeding is described on page 48.

The calibration protocol contains the calibration data of the current cal­ibration. You can transmit the calibration protocol to a printer via the se­rial interface (see page 51).

20

pH/ 3400i Operation

Note

You can automatically print a calibration protocol after the calibration.
To do so, connect a printer to the interface according to section 4.7.2
before calibrating. After a valid calibration, the record is printed.

Operation pH/ 3400i

Preparatory activities

1 Connect the pH electrode to the measuring instrument.

If necessary, press the <M> key repeatedly until the status dis-
play pH (pH measurement) or U (measurement of the ORP
voltage) appears.

2 Keep the buffer solutions ready.

3 Adjust the temperature of the solution and measure the current

temperature if the measurement is made without the use of a
temperature sensor (the TP display indicator is missing from
the display).

4.3.1 AutoCal TEC

For this procedure, use any two WTW technical buffer solutions (pH
values at 25 °C: 2.00 / 4.01 / 7.00 / 10.01).

Note

The calibration for pH 10.01 is optimized for the WTW technical buffer
solution TEP 10 Trace or TPL 10 Trace. Other buffer solutions can lead
to an erroneous calibration. The correct buffer solutions are given in the
WTW catalog or in the Internet.

Note

The buffer solutions are automatically recognized by the measuring in­strument. Depending on the instrument setting (see
section 4.8 C

ONFIGURATION ), the instrument displays the relevant buff-

er nominal value or the current electrode voltage in mV.

Note

Skip the steps 2 and 7 if you use a pH electrode with a temperature
sensor.

1 Press the <CAL> key repeatedly until the Ct1 display indicator

and the function display AutoCal TEC appears. The sensor
symbol displays the evaluation of the last calibration (or no
sensor symbol in the delivery state or after the measurement
parameters have been reset).
