SUGGESTED SEQUENCE FOR INITIAL START UP
1. Read the manual and familiarize getting into and out of screens
as well as change values.
2. Go the SETUP screen and enter the values and settings you
want to work with. Channels or Relays not needed can be disabled.
3. Get material for the calibration procedure. Connect probe to
either Channel 1 or Channel 2.
4. Go to the CALIBRATION screen and calibrate the meter.
Since the meter was preliminarily calibrated already, calibrate with the
temperature set at AUTO or MANUAL (enter a value) in the TMP ADJ
screen. NOTE: the temperature compensation element is located in the
cable end and not in the probe itself. Therefore, the cable end must be
immersed in the buffers to get the proper calibration. Bring the tem-
perature of cable to liquid temperature may take 5 minutes or more.
5. Go to the PROPORTIONING screen and set for ENABLED or
DISABLED. (Too prevent over runs, we suggest ENABLED.)
6. Go to the Main screen (RLY#1 and/or RLY#2) and enter the
SETPOINT, WINDOW, and ALARM values you want to use.

OVERVIEW OF PH/ORP METER MENU OPERATION
The following manual demonstrates how a user of the ph/orp meter can navigate through the menu system and change parameters
as needed. The main menu headings have no user adjustable settings, however all submenus behind the main menu screens do con-
sist of adjustable settings. All navigation is performed using the keypad (two keys—SELECT and CHANGE). The SELECT key
will not change any existing information. It only provides a way to move through the menu or move the flashing cursor. The
CHANGE key is used to change a value or option.. There are four input values to this meter: pH1/OPR1, pH2/ORP2, Temperature
for pH1/ORP1 and, Temperature for pH2/ORP2. These inputs are identified as “Channel” inputs 1,2,3, and 4 respectively. NOTE:
Pressing and Releasing both keys at same time will reset values to zero if cursor is flashing or return you to the first screen.

SETUP and USER INPUT MENUS
TO GET OUT OF THE CALIBRATION SCREEN, PRESS AND RELEASE BOTH THE SE-
LECT KEY AND THE CHANGE KEY TOGETHER. THIS BRINGS YOU BACK TO THE
MAIN SCREEN.

SETUP and USER INPUT MENUS
Toggle the SELECT key to get to the SETUP screen shown at right.
This section is used to set the physical hookup to the corresponding SETUP
channels. Press and hold the SELECT key to enter the first submenu.
1. *CHANNEL#1: Channel#1 can either be DISABLED, PH or
ORP. Note: The setting must be set for type of probe attached to
CHANNEL#1 (or 2)
the meter. In order to set the appropriate option, the user must
Disabled/ph/orp
press and hold the SELECT key until the cursor is flashing and
then cycle through the three options using the CHANGE key.
When the desired option is displayed press and hold SELECT CHANNEL#1
key to accept the option and return to the CHANNEL#1 main Disabled/ph/orp
menu.
2. *CHAN#1 TMP ADJ: Press the SELECT key to enter the
CHAN#1 TMP ADJ submenu. Only if PH was selected in the CHAN#1 TMP ADJ
CHANNEL#1 options screen will the CHAN#1 TMP ADJ DISABLED/MAN/AUTO
screen be displayed. To change the options press and hold the
SELECT key until the cursor flashes. Select either the DIS-
ABLED, AUTO, or MAN option. If the MAN option is selected, CHAN#1 TMP ADJ
the user will then have to specify a temperature value. DISABLED AUTO MAN
3. Use the same procedure for CHAN#2 and CHAN#2 TMP ADJ.
*Note: When using a non-Temp. Compensated cable, you
must enter a temperature value of the bath into the MAN- INPUT
UAL setting in the TEMP ADJ screen. Use the AUTO set- -499—+499
ting for a Temp. compensated cable.
If Auto is selected for temperature compensation then the correspond-
ing temperature channel (3 or 4) will automatically be enabled.
Toggle the SELECT key to move to CHANNEL#3 CHANNEL#3
DISABLED/TMP
1. *CHANNEL3: From this screen press and hold the SELECT
key until the cursor flashes. Then choose either DISABLED or
TEMP1. If the option set in the CHANNEL#1 screen included CHANNEL#3
PH and the CHAN#1 TMP ADJ option was set to AUTO, the DISABLED/TMP
user must select TEMP. After the appropriate option is selected,
push and hold the SELECT key to accept the option and return
to the CHANNEL#3 screen. Channel#3 is the temperature input CHANNEL#4

SETUP and USER INPUT MENUS
After completing the parameters for the three relays, toggle the SE-
LECT key to advance to the PUMP MX. ON TIME screen. PUMP MAX. ON TIME
00
1. PUMP MAX ON TIME: This function is used primarily when
PROPORTIONING is ENABLED. The value set in this screen is
the maximum time the pump will run if the WINDOW value is PUMP MAX. ON TIME
reached before the meter checks the pH value. If the ph value is 00
between the SETPOINT and WINDOW values, the time the
pump will run will be proportional to the % of pH being read.
For example, with a Max On Time of 30 seconds, and the pH TMP DISPLAY
reading is halfway between the SETPOINT and WINDOW val- F
ues, the pump will run only 15 seconds (HALF the time) before
checking the pH value. As the pH value gets closer to the SET-
POINT, the less time the pump will run. One cycle is an ON/ TEMP DISPLAY
OFF state of the pump. This value can be set for any value be- FC
tween 1 and 99 seconds. A typical value would be 30 Seconds.
After setting up pump max. on time, return to the PUMP MAX ON ALARM DELAY
TIME main menu by pressing the SELECT key until the cursor stops 01 SEC
flashing. Using the SELECT key cycle through the menus until the
TEMP DISPLAY menu is displayed.
ALARM DELAY
1. TEMP DISPLAY: From this screen press and hold the SELECT 01 SEC
key until the cursor flashes. Then choose either F (Fahrenheit) or
C (Celsius) using the CHANGE key. NOTE: SETPOINTS and
ALARMS do not recalculate after changing this parameter. The
user will have to adjust the temperatures accordingly.

MAINTENANCE
The PERISTALTIC Series of metering pumps require a minimal amount of
maintenance to achieve optimal performance. Periodically check the squeeze
tube for cracks, deterioration, or swelling. The squeeze tube will typically need
to be replaced about every 6 months (chemical compatibility and duty cycle
can cause this interval to vary). NOTE: Squeeze tubes are NOT a warranty
item.
Appling lube to the squeeze tube once a month will extend the life of the tube,
minimize wear on other contacting parts, and promote smoother pump opera-
tion. Use Knight Tube Lube (P/N 245-4-SQZLUBE) or an equivalent silicone-
based lubricant.
2. Apply a thin bead of Tube Lube to the inner surface (the side that the
rollers contact) of the squeeze tube between the 9 o’clock and 3 o’clock
positions. Avoid getting the lube near the pinch points where the bottom
of the faceplate grips the tube.

Questions For Troubleshooting pH Electrodes:
Questions to ask before sensor is returned: (Call first for a RMA numbers)
1. How OLD is the sensor? The 4 digit date code should be heat stamped into the top cap.
First 2 numbers are the fiscal week of the year, the last 2 are the year. For example, 0306 is the third week
of January in 2006.
Bulb electrodes have a 12 month warranty and flat surface electrodes have a 6 month warranty.
Warranty covers material and workmanship only.
Mis-application or chemical attack is NOT covered.
If the electrode is older than 12 months ( 6 months for flat), they need to purchase a new electrode.
2. What does the electrode read in 7.0 buffer and in 4.0 buffer ?
Check readings in buffers before moving any further.
Constant readings between 6.2 and 6.8, may indicate a cracked pH glass, or stem.
NOT a warranty replacement if visible crack is evident.
A constant reading of 7.00 indicates an electrical short inside the electrode or cable.
This can be a warranty replacement, if cable or connector is not damaged.
Inability to calibrate sensor to 7.00 pH indicates a coating on the electrode , low ionic sample, or organic sol-
vent.
NOT a warranty replacement.
Electrode should be cleaned & re-tested.
Readings go to 14 pH or off-scale.
Electrical open circuit.
This can be a warranty replacement
Unstable or drifting readings indicate plugged reference or electrode not plugged into meter or broken cable
wire or defect in meter.
PERHAPS a warranty replacement
3. Inspection
Look for visible signs of coating, scratches etching or breakage of pH glass.
Look for obvious signs of cuts, or breaks on cable or connector
Warranty does NOT cover mishandling/misuse by customer.
pH electrodes are sensitive, and delicate analytical instruments.
10
The electrode worked for a short time, and then it died.
I installed another electrode, and it lasted for about the same time, and it also died.
An ORP electrode installed in-line, is a useful way of checking if there is ground loop in a closed piping
system.
One lead of the multimeter is connected to the center pin of the ORP electrode.
If an ORP electrode is not available, the user may take a pipe plug, and drill out a small hole.
A wire is inserted into the hole, and the hole is sealed with epoxy or other sealant.
That wire is connected to the multimeter, and the other lead connected to electrical ground.
STORAGE:
CLEANING:
You may wipe the sensing surface using a soft cloth with care, but a toothbrush or other abrasive brush
will likely scratch the delicate glass.
