Instruction Manual CyberScan pH1500 6 mV OR RELATIVE mV OPERATION 6.1 Absolute mV Millivolts (mV) measurement is used primarily for measuring redox potential (also known as ORP, oxidation reduction potential). You will normally use a platinum ORP electrode, combined with a reference electrode, to measure redox potential (ORP) of a test sample. ORP measurements indicate the oxidizing or reducing capability of a solution.
Instruction Manual CyberScan pH1500 6.2 Relative mV The Relative mV mode helps you to standardize certain analytical and monitoring activities such as filtrations. mode std 1. Press mode until your meter displays the Relative mV mode. 2. Immerse the electrode in a sample solution. 3. Press std and use the or keys to adjust the mV value to the std solution value.

Instruction Manual CyberScan pH1500 6.3 Temperature Calibration 1. Press mode to go to the absolute mV measure screen 2. Press std. this will take you to the temperature calibration (MTC or ATC) 3. Press p or q to adjust the temperature. 4. Press enter to confirm the reading. Note: Maximum adjustable temperature offset is ±5°C/ 9°F.
Instruction Manual CyberScan pH1500 7 MEASUREMENT 1. Immerse the electrode (along with temperature probe if available for the measurement of pH) into the sample solution. Stir moderately. Make sure that the meter is in the Measure mode. 2. When the meter senses that the reading has stabilized, the stable icon will appear under the reading. The reading may be recorded at this time. ) Stirring with a magnetic stir bar and stirrer provides faster electrode response.
Instruction Manual CyberScan pH1500 8 MEMORY 8.1 Store Value Into Memory save In any Measure mode, press ▲ save key to store the displayed reading into the meter’s non-volatile memory. A memory location is shown momentarily and the meter returns to the Measure mode. 8.2 Recall Value From Memory print enter save view In any Measure mode, pressing ▼ view key retrieves data from the meter’s memory on the Last-In-First-Out (LIFO) basis. The screen displays the last stored memory location.
Instruction Manual CyberScan pH1500 9 PRINT DATA 9.1 Printing Data print enter std Depending on the print option in the meter setup, pressing print key allows you to print either current displayed reading or stored data from meter to a PC or printing device via a RS232 communication cable. Ensure that both meter and peripheral have the same configuration in terms of baud rate, parity bit and stop bit.
Instruction Manual CyberScan pH1500 10 pH THEORY The measurement of pH plays an important role in quantifying and controlling acidity and alkalinity levels for industry and research. pH is a measure of the acidity or alkalinity of a solution and can be represented by this equation: pH= -log [H+] With [H+] representing the concentration of hydrogen ions in the solution. pH is sometimes referred to as power of the hydrogen ion in a solution.
Instruction Manual CyberScan pH1500 10.1 Measuring pH To measure pH, the meter receives a millivolts signal from a glass bulb electrode that is sensitive to hydrogen ions. Therefore the potential developed at the glass bulb is directly related to the pH of the solution. The glass bulb electrode is paired with a reference electrode which completes the electrical measuring circuit and provides a stable reference point.
Instruction Manual CyberScan pH1500 11 CLEANING This meter requires no regular maintenance, but it is recommended to occasionally wipe down the front with a damp cloth from time to time. If there are any further questions regarding maintenance, call the Eutech Instruments Technical Support hotline at (+65) 6778 6876. 12 TROUBLESHOOTING Most troubles arise out of a problem with the electrode, not the meter. However, a meter check can be performed, and is simple to do. 1.
