1.3Sensors
A measuring system ready to measure consists of the MultiLab 4010-1W meter
and a suitable sensor.
Suitable sensors are IDS pH sensors, IDS ORP sensors, IDS conductivity
sensors and IDS D.O. sensors.
1.3.1IDS sensors
IDS sensors

have quick-lock couplings with which to fix the sensors to the meter.
Sensor data from
IDS sensors
IDS sensors transmit the following sensor data to the meter:
SENSOR ID
– Sensor name
– Sensor series number
Calibration data
Measurement settings
The calibration data are updated in the IDS sensor after e ach calibration procedure. A message is displayed while the data are being updated in the sensor.
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 further sensor data stored in the sensor with
the [More] softkey (see section 4.1.5 S
ENSORINFO, page 18).
1.3.2Wireless operation of IDS sensors
With the aid of the adapters in the IDS WA Kit, IDS sensors with plug head
connectors (variant P) can be wirelessly connected to your MultiLab 4010-1W.
(MultiLab 4010-1 IDS: from software version V2.00)
Two adapters, one at the IDS meter (IDS WA-M) and one at the sensor (IDS
WA-S), replace the sensor cable with an energy-saving Bluetooth LE radio
connection.
Further information on the wireless operation of IDS sensors:
Web resources
Operating manual of the IDS WA Kit.
1.3.3Automatic sensor recognition
The automatic sensor recognition for IDS sensors allows
to operate an IDS sensor with different meters without recalibrating
to assign measurement data to an IDS sensor
– Measurement datasets are always stored and output with the sensor
name and sensor serial 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.

ba76141e0708/20189
OverviewMultiLab 4010-1W
To be able to use the automatic sensor recognition, a meter that supports the
automatic sensor recognition (e.g. MultiLab 4010-1W) 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.

Identification of stored measured values.
Therefore, check the time at regular intervals.
The date and time are reset to default after a fall of the supply voltage (empty batteries).

5.2pH calibration
5.2.1Why 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.
5.2.2When do you have to calibrate?
Routinely within the framework of the company quality assurance
When the calibration interval has expired
The buffer solutions used are automatically identified during the calibration
procedure. The relevant nominal values are used automatically.
Prerequisite: The buffer set used has been set in the meter (see section
9.1.2 B
Manual calibration (ConCal)
Any buffer solutions can be used. The nominal values of the buffer solutions
are manually entered by the user during the calibration procedure.
5.2.4Carrying out automatic calibration (AutoCal)
Make sure that, in the menu for measurement and calibration settings (in the
menu pH/
(see section 9.1.1 S
UFFERSETSFORCALIBRATION, page 64).
For most applications, automatic calibration (AutoCal) is the safest
and most convenient way of executing a calibration.
<ENTER>/Calibration / Buffer), the correct buffer set is selected
ETTINGSFORPH MEASUREMENTS, page 63).
Use one to five buffer solutions of the selected buffer set in any order.
Below, calibration with YSI buffers (YSI) 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.
