1.3 Sensors

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

1.3.1 IDS sensors

IDS sensors
support the automatic sensor recognition
show only the settings relevant to the specific sensor in the setting menu
process signals in the sensor digitally so that precise and interference-free
measurements are enabled even with long cables
facilitate to assign a sensor to a measured parameter with differently colored
couplings

MultiLab 4010-1 Overview
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 each 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
ENSOR INFO, page 18).

1.3.2 Automatic 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 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 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. MultiLab 4010-1) 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.

5.1.1 Measuring the pH value

NOTE
When connecting a grounded PC/printer, measurements cannot be performed in grounded media as the values would be incorrect. The USB interface is not galvanically isolated.
1. Connect the IDS pH sensor to the meter. The pH measuring window is displayed.
2. If necessary, select the measured parameter with <M>.
3. Adjust the temperature of the solutions and measure the current tem­perature if the measurement is made without a temperature sensor.
Stability control
(AutoRead)
& HOLD function
4. If necessary, calibrate or check the IDS pH sensor.
5. Immerse the IDS pH sensor in the test sample.
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
28 ba76141e03 03/2014
when the automatic Stability control is switched off.
You can start the Stability control manually at any time, irrespective of the set­ting for automatic Stability control (see section 9.5.3 A
TROL, page 69) in the System menu.
1. Freeze the measured value with <AR>. The [HOLD] status indicator is displayed. The HOLD function is active.
UTOMATIC STABILITY CON-
Page 29
MultiLab 4010-1 pH value
You can terminate the Stability control function and the HOLD func- tion with <AR> or <M> at any time.
2. Using <MENU/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.
You can prematurely terminate the Stability control function manu­ally with <MENU/ENTER> at any time. If the Stability control func- tion is prematurely terminated, the current measurement data are output to the interface without the AutoRead info.
Criteria for a stable
measured value
3. Using <MENU/ENTER>, start a further measurement with stability con­trol. or Release the frozen measured value again with <AR> or <M>. The [AR] status display disappears. The display switches back to the previous indication.
The Stability control function checks whether the measured values are stable within the monitored time interval.

The minimum duration until a measured value is assessed as stable is the monitored time interval. The actual duration is mostly longer.

5.1.2 Measuring the temperature

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.

5.2 pH 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?

Routinely within the framework of the company quality assurance
When the calibration interval has expired

5.2.3 Carrying out automatic calibration (AutoCal)

Make sure that in the sensor menu, Buffer menu, the buffer set is correctly selected (see section 9.1.1 S
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.
1. Connect the pH sensor to the meter. The pH measuring window is displayed.
2. Keep the buffer solutions ready.
3. 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:
Calibration Determined values Displayed calibration data
1-point Asy Zero point = Asy
Slope = Nernst slope
(-59.2 mV/pH at 25 °C)
2-point Asy
Slp.
3-point to 5­point

Zero point = Asy
Slope = Slp.
Zero point = Asy

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 Currently measured pH value (needle)
2 Marking lines for all nominal buffer values used with the last valid cali-
bration
3 Measuring range for which a valid calibration is available. Measured
values in this range are suitable for documentation.
4 Measuring range for which no valid calibration is available (shaded).
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 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.
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

5.2.8 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.
The QSC scale shows the current sensor evaluation with an indicator on the display.
1QSC scale
The double arrow on the QSC scale indicates the current sensor evaluation
Sensor evaluation
with / without QSC function
QSC calibration The QSC function is enabled by once carrying out an additional three-point cali-
In the USB output the sensor evaluation is given 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).
With QSC function Without QSC function (sensor sym-
bol)
Very fine grading of the sensor eval­uation (100 grades)
The reference value is individually determined for each sensor during the QSC initial calibration.
Low tolerances for zero point and slope when using QSC buffer solu­tions
Additional QSC calibration required (with special QSC buffer set)
bration with special QSC buffer solutions. It covers the measuring range of the sensor (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.
Rough grading of the sensor evalua­tion (4 grades)
A theoretical reference value is used for all sensors
Greater tolerances for zero point and slope when using commercial buffer sets
No additional calibration required

7.1.2 Measuring the temperature

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

7.2 Calibration

7.2.1 Why calibrate?

D.O. sensors age. This changes the zero point and slope of the IDS D.O. sensor. As a result, an inexact measured value is displayed. Calibration deter­mines and stores the current values of the zero point and slope.

7.2.2 When to calibrate?

When the calibration interval has expired
When your accuracy requirements are especially high
Routinely within the framework of the company quality assurance

7.2.3 Calibration procedures

The MultiLab 4010-1 provides 2 calibration procedures:
Calibration in water vapor-saturated air.
Calibration via a comparison measurement (e.g. Winkler titration according
to DIN EN 25813 or ISO 5813). At the same time, the relative slope is adapted to the comparison measurement by a correction factor. When the correction factor is active, the [Factor] indicator appears in the measuring screen.
Calibration can be carried out either as a 1-point calibration or 2-point calibra­tion procedure.

You can prematurely terminate the Stability control function manu­ally with <MENU/ENTER> at any time. If the Stability control func- tion is prematurely terminated, the current measurement data are output to the interface without the AutoRead info.
3. Using <MENU/ENTER>, start a further measurement with stability con­trol. or Release the frozen measured value again with <AR> or <M>. The [AR] status display disappears. The display switches back to the previous indication.
The Stability control function checks whether the measured values are stable within the monitored time interval.
Measured parameter Time interval Stability in the time interval
Conductivity
ϰ 10 seconds ϰ: better than
1.0% of measured value
Temperature 15 seconds
: Better than 0.5 °C
The minimum duration until a measured value is assessed as stable is the mon­itored time interval. The actual duration is mostly longer.

8.1.2 Measuring the temperature

For reproducible conductivity 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.

8.2 Temperature compensation

The calculation of the temperature compensation is based on the preset refer­ence temperature, 20 °C or 25 °C. It appears on the display as Tr20 or Tr25.
You can select one of the following temperature compensation methods:
Nonlinear temperature compensation (nLF) according to EN 27 888
Linear temperature compensation (Lin) with adjustable coefficients of
0.000 ... 3.000 %
No temperature compensation (off)
/K
The reference temperature and temperature compensation are set in the menu for the parameter, conductivity (see section 9.4.1 S

8.3 Calibration

8.3.1 Why calibrate?

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.

8.3.2 When to calibrate?

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

8.3.3 Determining the cell constant (calibration in control standard)

You can determine the actual cell constant of the IDS conductivity sensor by calibrating with the control standard in the following range:
0.450 ... 0.500 cm
The cell constant is determined in the control standard, 0.01 mol/l KCl.
In the delivery condition, the calibrated cell constant of the IDS sensor is set to
0.475 cm
For this calibration procedure, the Type setting must be set to cal. Proceed as follows to determine the cell constant:
1. Connect the conductivity sensor to the meter.
2. In the measured value display, select the conductivity parameter with
3. Start the calibration with <CAL>.

Page 57
MultiLab 4010-1 Conductivity
4. Immerse the conductivity sensor in the control standard solution,
0.01 mol/l KCI.
5. Start the measurement with <MENU/ENTER>. The measured value is checked for stability (stability control). The [AR] status indicator is displayed. The measured parameter flashes.
6. Wait for the end of the measurement with stability control ([HOLD][AR]) status indicator or take over the calibrated value with <MENU/ENTER>. The calibration record is displayed and output to the interface.
7. Switch to the measured value display with <MENU/ENTER>.

8.3.4 Calibration data

The calibration record is automatically transmitted to the interface after calibrating.
Displaying the
calibration record
The calibration data can be displayed and then output to the interface.
The calibration record of the last calibration is to be found under the menu item, Calibration / Calibration record. To open it in the measured value display, press the <CAL__> key.

The electromotive force U of the combination electrode is the measur­able electromotive force of an electrode in a solution. It equals the sum of all the galvanic voltages of the combination electrode. Its dependency on the pH results in the electrode function, which is char­acterized by the parameters, slope and zero point.
trodes or electrolyte bridges. It arranges the electrical contact between two solutions and makes the electrolyte exchange more dif­ficult. The expression, junction, is also used for ground or junction­less transitions.
The ORP is caused by oxidizing or reducing substances dissolved in water if these substances become effective on an electrode surface (e. g. a gold or platinum surface).

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.

It corresponds to the reciprocal value of the resistivity. It is a measured value of the ability of a substance to conduct an elec­tric current. In water analysis, the electrical conductivity is a dimension for the ionized substances in a solution.
Fixed temperature value to compare temperature-dependent mea­sured values. For conductivity measurements, the measured value is converted to a conductivity value at a reference temperature of 20 °C or 25 °C.
Resistivity, ρ Short name for the electrolytic resistivity. It corresponds to the recip-
rocal value of the electrical conductivity.

Salinity The absolute salinity SA of seawater corresponds to the relationship
of the mass of dissolved salts to the mass of the solution (in g/kg). In practice, this dimension cannot be measured directly. Therefore, the practical salinity according to IOT is used for oceanographic monitor­ing. It is determined by measuring the electrical conductivity.
Salt content General designation for the quantity of salt dissolved in water.
Temperature
Value of the slope of a linear temperature function.

Temperature
compensation
Name of a function that considers the temperature influence on the measurement and converts it accordingly. Depending on the mea­sured parameter to be determined, the temperature compensation functions in different ways. For conductimetric measurements, the measured value is converted to a defined reference temperature. For potentiometric measurements, the slope value is adjusted to the tem­perature of the test sample but the measured value is not converted.
Dissolved oxygen
D.O. % saturation Short name for the "relative D.O. saturation".
Relation of the D.O. partial pressure in the test sample to the D.O. par­tial pressure of air at the current air pressure. Example: 100% means that the test sample and the ambient air have the same D.O. partial pressure – air and test sample are balanced.
Salinity The absolute salinity S
of seawater corresponds to the relationship

of the mass of dissolved salts to the mass of the solution (in g/kg). In practice, this dimension cannot be measured directly. Therefore, the practical salinity according to IOT is used for oceanographic monitor­ing. It is determined by measuring the electrical conductivity.
Salt content General designation for the quantity of salt dissolved in water.
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.
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.
