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.

2.1 Safety information
2.1.1 Safety information in the operating manual
This operating manual provides important information on the safe operation of
the meter. Read this operating manual thoroughly and make yourself familiar
with the meter before putting it into operation or working with it. The operating
manual must be kept in the vicinity of the meter so you can always find the information you need.
Important safety instructions are highlighted in this operating manual. They are
indicated by the warning symbol (triangle) in the left column. The signal word
(e.g. "Caution") indicates the level of danger:
WARNING
indicates a possibly dangerous situation that can lead to serious (irreversible) injury or death if the safety instruction is not
followed.
CAUTION
indicates a possibly dangerous situation that can lead to
slight (reversible) injury if the safety instruction is not followed.
NOTE
indicates a possibly dangerous situation where goods might be damaged
if the actions mentioned are not taken.
2.1.2 Safety signs on the meter
Note all labels, information signs and safety symbols on the meter and in the
battery compartment. A warning symbol (triangle) without text refers to safety
information in this operating manual.
2.1.3 Further documents providing safety information
The following documents provide additional information, which you should
observe for your safety when working with the measuring system:
• Operating manuals of sensors and other accessories
• Safety datasheets of calibration or maintenance accessories (such as buffer
solutions, electrolyte solutions, etc.)

4.5.5 Example 2 on navigation: Setting the date and time
The meter has a clock with a date function. The date and time are indicated in
the status line of the measured value display.
When storing measured values and calibrating, the current date and time are
automatically stored as well.
The correct setting of the date and time and date format is important for the following functions and displays:
Current date and time
Calibration date
Identification of stored measured values.
Therefore, check the time at regular intervals.
After a fall of the supply voltage (empty batteries), the date and time
are reset.
Setting the date,
time and date format
The date format can be switched from the display of day, month, year
(dd.mm.yy) to the display of month, day, year (mm/dd/yy or mm.dd.yy).

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.

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.

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.

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).
ETTINGS FOR PH MEASUREMENTS, page 59).

4. Thoroughly rinse the sensor with deionized water.
