PERIODIC MAINTENANCE
Inspect electrode and cable. The cable used for
connection to the instrument must be intact and there
must be no points of broken insulation on the cable or
cracks on the electrode stem or bulb. Connectors must
be perfectly clean and dry. If any scratches or cracks
are present, replace the electrode. Rinse off any salt
deposits with water.
CLEANING PROCEDURE
Soak in AD7061 general cleaning solution for approximately
30 minutes.
IMPORTANT: After performing any of the cleaning
procedures, rinse the electrode thoroughly with AD7000,
refill the reference chamber with fresh electrolyte and
soak the electrode in AD70300 storage solution for at
least 1 hour before taking measurements.

pH ELECTRODE CONDITIONING &
MAINTENANCE
PREPARATION PROCEDURE
Remove the pH electrode protective cap. DO NOT BE
ALARMED IF SALT DEPOSITS ARE PRESENT.
This is normal with electrodes and they will disappear
when rinsed with water.
During transport, tiny bubbles of air may form inside the
glass bulb affecting proper functioning of the electrode.
These bubbles can be removed by “shaking down” the
electrode as you would do with a glass thermometer.
If the bulb and/or junction are dry, soak the electrode in
AD70300 storage solution for at least one hour.
STORAGE PROCEDURE
To minimize clogging and assure a quick response time,
the glass bulb and the junction of the pH electrode should
be kept moist and not allowed to dry out.
Replace the solution in the protective cap with a few
drops of AD70300 storage solution .
NEVER STORE THE ELECTRODE IN DISTILLED
OR DEIONIZED WATER.

PC INTERFACE (AD132 only)
Data can be transferred from the instrument to the PC
using the ADSW10 Windows®compatible software
(optional).
ADSW10 also offers graphing and on-line help feature.
Data can be exported to the most popular spreadsheet
programs for further analysis.
To connect your instrument to a PC, use the AD9551
optional Adwa cable. Make sure that the instrument is
switched off and plug the cable to the instrument RS232
socket and to a serial port of your PC.
If not using the AD9551 cable, communication between
instrument and PC may be not possible, due to different
RS232 connector configuration.
conditions or contact your dealer if calibration
can not be performed.
• To return to normal measurement mode, press
CAL at any moment during calibration.
• If the calibration procedure is ended after the
600.0 mV point is confirmed, the meter returns
to normal measurement mode and stores a 2-
point calibration data.

• Attach a mV simulator with an accuracy of ±0.1 mV
to the BNC connector on the rear panel.
• With the instrument off, press and hold the CFM &
STORE keys, then power on the instrument. The CAL
tag lights up and the secondary LCD shows 0.0 mV.
• Set the simulator to 0.0 mV. When the reading is stable
and close to the selected calibration point, the CFM
tag starts blinking.
• Press CFM to confirm and the secondary LCD will
display the second expected value (600.0 mV).
• Set the simulator to 600.0 mV. When the reading is
stable and close to the selected calibration point, the
CFM tag starts blinking.
• Press CFM to confirm. The secondary LCD will
display the third expected value (1800 mV).
• Set the simulator to 1800.0 mV. When the reading is
stable and close to the selected calibration point, the
CFM tag starts blinking.
• Press CFM to confirm. The instrument returns to
measurement mode.
Notes:
• If the reading is not close to the selected point,
the WRONG tag will blink. Verify the calibration

OPERATIONAL GUIDE
• The meter is supplied complete with four 1.5V AA
alkaline batteries. Remove the rear cover, unwrap the
batteries and install them while paying attention to the
correct polarity (see “Battery Replacement” section).
• Connect pH electrode and temperature probe to the
BNC and temperature sockets on the top of the
instrument. Slide the BNC protection sleeve to
completely cover the BNC connector.
• The temperature probe is used in conjunction with the
pH electrode to utilize the meter’s ATC capability, but
it can also be used independently to take temperature
measurements. If the probe is disconnected, the
temperature can be set manually using the arrow keys.
47
• Press CFM to confirm. The instrument
returns to normal measurement mode.
Notes:
• If the reading is not close to the selected
calibration point, the WRONG tag will blink.
Change the temperature probe and restart
calibration.
• Press CAL at any time to quit the procedure.
mV CALIBRATION (for technical personnel only)
The instruments are factory calibrated for mV range.
Adwa’s ORP electrodes are interchangeable and no mV
calibration is needed when they are replaced.
If measurements are not accurate, a mV recalibration
should be performed.
For an accurate recalibration, contact your dealer or the
nearest Adwa Customer Service Center, or follow the
instructions below.
A two or three-point procedure can be performed at 0.0,
600.0 and 1800 mV.
