Electrode Sensor Description

The sensing electrode is a europium doped lanthanum fluoride single

crystal that has been incorporated into a removable sensing module that

houses a reference electrode and temperature measurement system. The

high resistance electrode signals are impedance converted to a low resistance output in the

sensing module to ensure stable and noise free performance.

Reagent Tablets

The FL700 allows the users to follow the ASTM and EPA standard methodology using any of the

TISAB reagents and standards already in use. Also, Extech has developed tablet-form TISAB

which contains all of the essential and approved chemicals that are found in the usual TISAB

reagents. A total ionic strength adjustment buffer (TISAB) is a buffer solution which increases

the ionic strength of a solution to a relatively high level.

The “dry” TISAB reagent does not contribute to sample dilution. The benefits of this method are:

1. No volumetric errors

2. Independent of sample size (± 20% of nominal sample volume)

3. Easy to use in the field or laboratory

4. Can be shipped more easily than liquid reagents

5. Lower cost per test

LCD Display

Operation

Preparation for use

1. Remove the FL700, electrode module and sample cup from its box. Remove caps from

module

2. If not already done, fit the electrode module onto the end of the meter body, making sure

that the slots line up correctly, and turn the module retaining ring to secure the assembly.

Powering the FL700

Press the ON/OFF button to turn the meter on or off. If the batteries are weak, the ‘BAT’

indicator appears on the LCD.

Power-On Diagnostics

1. When the meter is switched ON the LCD displays “SELF” and “CAL” while the meter runs a

diagnostic routine

2. During this time the meter is recalling the user calibration data, performing self diagnostics &

initializing the circuitry

3. When completed, the meter proceeds to the normal measurement mode

Calibration

The FL700 can be calibrated between 1.0 ppm and 10 ppm or between 0.5 and 5.0 ppm Fluoride

ion. Set the Mode to ppm. The following calibration procedure assumes the normal 1.0 to 10 ppm

range has been chosen.

1. Prepare a 1 ppm fluoride standard solution by placing one TISAB tablet into a sample cup

and add 20 mls of the 1ppm Fluoride standard into the sample cup.

Note: if your 1ppm Fluoride standard already contains TISAB do not use a TISAB tablet.

2. Create a rinse solution that can be used between sample measurements buy dissolving

1 TISAB tablet in 20ml of Distilled water. The rinse solution promotes faster response times.

3. Rinse the end of the FL700 module in this Rinse solution or in Distilled water and then wipe

thoroughly with a paper tissue.

4. Place the FL700 into the prepared 1 ppm standard and switch the instrument ON using the

ON/OFF button. The instrument will now go through its self-calibration.

5. The instrument will enter HOLD mode in about 35 seconds when stabilized in the 1.0 ppm

standard solution.

6. Press and HOLD the CAL key, CAL will appear in the display followed by 0.5ppm and

5.0ppm. Continue holding the CAL button until 1.0 ppm and CAL appear in the display.

Release the CAL key.

7. Wait until the display stops blinking; the instrument will enter the normal measurement

mode.

8. The instrument is now calibrated and ready for use.

9. The circled L and H icons on the display indicate that the low range (L) and high range (H)

calibrations have been completed.

Calibration frequency

Calibrate the FL700 prior to each new measurement batch or if more than 12 hours has elapsed

since the last calibration.

FL700-en-US_V1.4 09/14

Other standards

The FL700 can also be calibrated between 0.5 and 5.0 ppm F. Follow the calibration instructions

above but substitute 0.5 ppm for 1.0 ppm and 5.0 ppm for 10 ppm.

Slope Adjustment

1. Slope adjustment although not a frequent requirement can be carried out by following the

instructions in Calibration steps above except for the fact that a 10 ppm standard is used after

calibrating with the 1 ppm standard

2. Press the Cal button until 10 ppm appears. Slope adjustment is then complete.

Measurement Mode

1. Prepare 20ml of test solution by adding one TISAB reagent to the unknown sample.

Thoroughly wipe the end of the FL700. Wait for the tablet to dissolve and then mix thoroughly

before proceeding.

2. Rinse the end of the FL700 in your rinse solution or in distilled water, wipe dry.

3. Place the FL700 into the prepared unknown sample. If the instrument is in the HOLD mode,

press MODE/HOLD to unlock HOLD

4. After ~35 seconds, the instrument will display the value of the unknown concentration and will

then enter the HOLD mode

Note: The readings can be stored in the memory by pressing the MODE/HOLD key for ~ 3 seconds.

Electrode Storage

1. It is recommended that the electrode be stored WET in the last test solution used by the

instrument (fluoride ion plus TISAB reagent).
