pH Overview

pH is a unit of measure (ranging from 0 to 14pH) indicating the degree of acidity or

alkalinity of a solution. pH tests are the most commonly performed measurements in water

analysis, using the hydrogen ion activity of a solution to determine acidity or alkalinity.

Solutions with a pH less than 7 are considered acidic, solutions with a pH higher than 7 are

known as bases, and solutions with a pH of exactly 7 are considered neutral.

The pH scale is logarithmic, so, for example, if sample A is 1 pH less than Sample B, this

means that Sample A is 10 times more acidic then Sample B. A difference of 1 pH

represents a ten-fold difference in acidity.

ORP/REDOX Overview

ORP stands for Oxidation Reduction Potential and represents the oxidizing or reducing

nature of a solution. The overall “reactive” tendency of a solution can be determined from

ORP measurements. ORP testing is becoming more common in waste-water and water

treatment measurement regimens. The unit of measurement for ORP is mV.

Calibration and Operation

pH Calibration (NOTE: ORP does not require calibration)

Before accurate measurements can be obtained, it is necessary to calibrate the meter with

the electrode. Typically, pH 7 is calibrated first and then one or more of the other buffers

(shown in the left column in the table below). The meter automatically recognizes all of the

buffers listed in the table below and calibrates itself to the buffer’s pH value.

1. Connect the pH electrode to the meter’s BNC connector input.

2. Open the top half of the meter to an appropriate viewing position.

3. Power the meter with the POWER/CAL button.

4. Place the electrode into a buffer solution (4, 7, or 10).

5. Press and hold the CAL key until the CAL display icon appears.

6. During calibration, CAL is shown on the display followed by SA (saved).

7. When calibration is complete, the meter automatically displays END and returns to

normal operation mode. Repeat steps 1-5 as necessary. Note that it is not necessary

to turn the meter off and then back on again to calibration another reference.

Important calibration note: Since pH electrodes can vary in performance, this meter

includes a special feature that displays an electrode’s slope in %. For example, if two

electrodes (one new and moderately used) are calibrated in the same pH 4 solution they’ll

both display pH 4 on the meter. This is because the meter will accept one pH value for a

range of measurement values as shown in the table below (in this case, any reading

between 1.68pH and 6.50pH will be accepted as 4pH calibration). The meter then displays

the slope % for the electrode under test. If the slope % is below 75% or above 125%, the

electrode must be replaced. A slope of 100% is ideal.

pH reading Range of measurement

1.68 0.00 to 1.68

4.00 1.68 to 6.50

7.00 6.50 to 7.50

10.00 7.50 to 12.45

12.45 12.45 to 14.00

Oyster-10, V1.811/07

pH Measurement and Temperature Compensation

1. Use the pH/mV button to select the pH mode. The unit of measure appears on the

LCD.

2. Connect the pH electrode to the meter and place the sensor end in the solution under

test.

3. For automatic temperature compensation, connect the temperature probe to the meter

(display will read ATC) and place the sensor end in the solution about 1/3 of the way

below the solution surface. The temperature reading of the solution appears on the

bottom of the LCD. When the temperature of a sample differs from a buffer solution

temperature, allow enough time for the electrode to stabilize to the sample's

temperature.

4. For manual temperature compensation, a temperature sensor is not connected to the

meter (MANUAL is displayed). Adjust the meter’s temperature display with the

up/down buttons so that the displayed temperature matches the temperature of the

solution. A manual thermometer will be needed to determine the solution temperature

first.

5. To change the unit of measure for temperature (C to F or F to C), press and hold the

pH/mV button while powering the meter. The LCD reflects the unit of measure.

6. Read the pH measurement on the main display. An out of range reading is indicated by

dashes ( ----- ).

7. When the test is complete, unplug the electrode and rinse it in distilled water.

8. Place approx. 1 ml of pH 4 solution or tap water in the wetting cap before replacing it.

mV (ORP) Measurements

1. Note that calibration is not required for mV measurements.

2. Use the pH/mV button to select the mV mode. The display will reflect the unit of

measure.

3. Remove the wetting cap from the ORP electrode and connect the cable via the BNC

meter connection.

4. Rinse the ORP electrode and place it into a sample solution. When the LCD stabilizes

it will read the redox potential of the sample in millivolts.

5. When sampling is complete, unplug and rinse the electrode. Place a small portion

(1ml) of distilled water in the wetting cap. Place the cap over the electrode.

25-Reading Measurement Storage

1. Press the STORE/RECALL button to store the current reading. Press each time a

reading is to be stored.

2. If an attempt is made to store more than 25 readings, the stored readings (starting with

the first reading) will be overwritten.

3. To recall readings, press and hold the STORE/RECALL button until the ‘RECALL’ icon

appears on the LCD. Use the up/down arrow buttons to scroll through the stored

readings. Note that ‘NULL’ is displayed if there are no readings in memory.

4. To exit this mode, press and hold the STORE/RECALL button until the ‘RECALL’ icon

disappears.

5. To clear the contents of the memory press and hold the up and the down arrow

buttons while powering the meter on until the ‘CLr’ icon appears on the LCD. All 25

locations will be erased.

Note: Readings are stored in non-volatile memory (saved when the meter is turned off).

Oyster-10, V1.811/07

MAX/MIN Display

1. The meter memorizes the highest (MAX) and lowest (MIN) readings when prompted.

2. Press and hold the MAX/MIN button until both the MAX and MIN icons appear on the

LCD. The meter will now begin keeping track of the MIN and MAX readings.

3. To view MAX/MIN values, press the MAX/MIN button again; the meter automatically

displays the highest and lowest readings in succession and then returns to the

MAX/MIN recording mode.

4. To exit the MAX/MIN mode, press and hold the MAX/MIN button until the MAX and

MIN icons disappear.

5. To clear the MAX/MIN memory, cycle the meter power.

pH Electrode Model 60120B Operation

The Following information applies to the Epoxy Body, Sealed Reference Combination pH

Electrode Model 60120B.

Electrode Considerations

1. The 60120B pH electrode is recessed in the polymer body allowing it to rest against

the bottom of a beaker without damaging the glass bulb. This eliminates the need for

electrode holders and allows the probe to be used as a stirring rod. This sealed

reference design eliminates the need for adding filling solutions (minimizing "dry-out")

and can be used in up to 100 psig systems without external pressurization.

2. The Electrode should remain in its bottle or cap until used.

3. If bubbles are seen in the bulb area, hold the electrode by its cap and shake

downwards until bubbles disappear.

4. To improve speed of response, vigorously stir the electrode in the sample, buffer, or

rinse solution.

5. After exposure to a sample, buffer, or rinse solution, shake the electrode with a snap

motion to remove residual drops of solution.

6. Use part of the sample/buffer to be tested next as a rinse solution whenever possible.

7. When calibrating, use a buffer as close as possible to the expected pH of the sample.

8. Keep buffers and samples at the same temperature to avoid temperature effects.

9. pH readings stabilize at various rates; allow time for readings to stabilize.

10. Electrodes deteriorate over time. If accuracy falls to 10% (slope), the electrode should

be cleaned. If no improvement is observed, replace the electrode.

Electrode Calibration and Cleaning

Refer to the earlier section ‘Calibration and Operation’ for calibration details. Refer to the

section below ‘Maintenance and Troubleshooting’ for details on electrode cleaning.

Electrode Storage

The electrode can be stored in the soaker bottle or wetting cap. For the storage bottle,

slide the cover onto the electrode, replace the O-ring, and insert electrode into the bottle

firmly tightening the cap. Ensure that the bottle or cap is filled with a pH of 4 buffer solution.

Oyster-10, V1.811/07

Maintenance and Troubleshooting

Electrode Cleaning

The type of electrode coating that occurs over time will determine the cleaning method.

Soft coatings can be removed by vigorous stirring or by using a squirt bottle. Organic

chemical coating (hard coatings) should be chemically removed. Only in extreme cases

should the bulb be cleaned mechanically.

Battery Replacement

Install a new battery when the low battery indicator appears on the LCD. Remove the

battery cover, install a new 9V battery, and replace the battery cover.

Troubleshooting the Meter

Meters are the least likely cause of pH measurement problems. To rule out the meter

check the following:

1. Check the 9V battery and replace it if necessary.

2. When using the AC adaptor for power, check that the line cord is firmly connected to

the meter.

3. Replace the existing electrode connector with optional BNC shorting plug (shorts the

ground ring to the center pin of the meter’s BNC jack) and check the following:

a) Set the measurement mode to pH. The LCD reading should be stable.

b) Adjust the calibration control for an LCD reading of 7.00.

c) Change to the mV measurement mode. The LCD should read 0 mV.

d) Note that an out of range reading is indicated by dashes ( -------).
