4. Installation
4.1. Installation de la batterie
- Ouvrez le couvercle du compartiment à piles situé à l'arrière de l'appareil.
- Insérez les piles spécifiées en veillant à respecter la polarité (+/-).
- Fermez soigneusement le couvercle du compartiment à piles.
4.2. Connexion de la sonde
- Connect the pH electrode to the designated BNC connector on the device. Ensure a firm connection.
- Connect the temperature probe to its dedicated input jack.
- Ensure all connections are clean and dry before use.
5. Mode d'emploi
5.1. Mise sous/hors tension
Appuyez sur le MARCHE/ARRÊT button to power on the device. Press and hold the MARCHE/ARRÊT button for approximately 3 seconds to power off.
5.2. Étalonnage
Regular calibration is crucial for accurate measurements. Refer to the specific calibration procedure for pH and Redox measurements outlined below.
5.2.1. Étalonnage du pH
- Préparer des solutions tampons de pH fraîches (par exemple, pH 4.00, 7.00, 10.00).
- Rinse the pH electrode thoroughly with distilled water and blot dry.
- Immerse the electrode in the first buffer solution (e.g., pH 7.00).
- Enter calibration mode as per the device's menu.
- Follow on-screen prompts to confirm the buffer value.
- Repeat for subsequent buffer solutions.
5.2.2. Redox Calibration
Redox electrodes typically do not require calibration in the same way as pH electrodes. However, their functionality can be checked using a known Redox test solution.
5.3. Prendre des mesures
- Assurez-vous que l'appareil est calibré.
- Rinse the probe(s) with distilled water and blot dry.
- Immerse the probe(s) into the sample solution. Ensure the sensing part of the probe is fully submerged.
- Allow the reading to stabilize on the display.
- Record the measurement.
- After measurement, rinse the probe(s) thoroughly and store according to maintenance guidelines.
6. Entretien
6.1. Nettoyage de l'appareil
Wipe the device housing with a soft, damp Nettoyer avec un chiffon. Ne pas utiliser de nettoyants abrasifs ni de solvants. S'assurer qu'aucun liquide ne pénètre dans les ouvertures de l'appareil.
6.2. Probe Care and Storage
- Électrode de pH : Always keep the pH electrode wet. Store it in a suitable storage solution (e.g., 3M KCl solution or pH 4 buffer). Never store in distilled water.
- Électrode redox : Store in a suitable storage solution or distilled water if not used for extended periods.
- Sonde de température: Clean with distilled water after each use.
- Regularly inspect probes for damage or contamination.
6.3. Remplacement de la batterie
Remplacez les piles lorsque le témoin de batterie faible s'affiche. Consultez la section 4.1 pour les instructions d'installation des piles.
7. Dépannage
| Problème | Cause possible | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| L'écran ne s'allume pas / L'appareil ne s'allume pas | Piles mortes ou mal installées | Vérifiez la polarité des piles ; remplacez les piles. |
| Lectures instables | Dirty or damaged probe; insufficient immersion; air bubbles; incorrect calibration | Clean probe; ensure proper immersion; remove air bubbles; recalibrate. |
