PerpHecT® Orion 310, 320, 330 Instruction Manual

Chapter VGeneral Information onpH Calibration for Orion 310A one or two-point calibration should be performed using fresh buffersbefore pH is measured. It is recommended that a two buffer calibration,using buffers that bracket the expected sample range, be performed at thebeginning of each day to determine the slope of the electrode. This servesthe dual purpose of determining if the electrode is working properly, andstoring the slope value in memory. For maximum accuracy, perform aone-buffer calibration every two hours to compensate for electrode drift,using a fresh aliquot of pH 7 buffer.

When operating in the LogR mode, the meter does not require the use of aseparate ATC probe. The PerpHecT meters measure the resistance of thepH sensing glass and converts the value to temperature-compensated pHmeasurements. For optimum results, PerpHecT electrodes or PerpHecTROSS electrodes should be used.

For best results, it is recommended that the unit be calibrated fortemperature in the LogR mode. Alternately, an ATC probe may be used.If LogR or an ATC probe is not used, all samples and standards shouldbe at the same temperature or manual temperature compensation shouldbe used.

Stir all buffers and samples with a magnetic stirrer while a measurement isbeing made.

NOTE: Some magnetic stirrers generate enoughheat to change solution temperature. To avoid this,place a piece of cardboard, foam rubber, or otherinsulating material between the stir plate andbeaker.

Always use a fresh aliquot of buffer whenever calibrating.

Chapter VIIntroduction to Patented digitalLogR pH Measurement forOrion 310 Obtaining accurate pH values depends on both correct measurement ofstandard and sample temperatures and on compensation for any variationsin these temperatures. This thermal compensation has generally beenaccomplished either manually (by measuring sample solution with athermometer and then dialing in the measured temperature on the meter),or automatically (by placing a separate temperature probe together witha pH electrode in the solution).

The temperature of a solution affects pH measurements in two principalways:

1. The pH of buffers and samples actually changes slightly withtemperature. For buffers, this change is known and is built intothe PerpHecT series of meters.

2. The slope of the calibration, which the meter uses to convertmillivolt readings to pH, changes with temperature. At 25° C,a 10 degree change in temperature changes the slope by 3.4%.

How important is direct temperature compensation to pH measurement?

To see the effects of temperature, look up your approximate sampletemperature on the left side of Table 1. Read across the top to yourapproximate pH value. The value shown at the intersection is the errora 1° C change in temperature will cause in pH measurement withoutcompensation. Accurate temperature compensation is essential to accuratepH measurement.

Table 1 pH Error due to 1° C Temperature Change (in pH units)

A. What Is digital LogR?PerpHecT pH meters allow for direct temperature measurement andtemperature compensation from your pH electrode. With simultaneousmeasurement of pH and temperature, the patented Orion digital LogRtechnology makes it possible using most standard glass pH electrodes.The system is based on using the electrical resistance of the glass sensingbulb as the temperature probe. The name comes from the fact that thelogarithm of the resistance of the bulb varies almost linearly with thereciprocal of the absolute temperature (See Figure 5). Almost all commonpH glasses show a similar decrease in resistance with increasingtemperature, and can be used with other types of meters. However,only the exact shape of the curve for Orion PerpHecT electrodesis in the meter’s memory.

To maximize system performance and accuracy, use PerpHecT ROSS andPerpHecT pH electrodes.

B. Orion 310 Temperature Calibration ProcedureThis procedure should be performed at least once per week to ensureaccurate temperature compensation when operating in the LogR mode.If the meter is powered down or the electrode disconnected, it isrecommended that you recalibrate the LogR temperature. See theAppendix Section for accuracy specifications and recommendedcalibration techniques.

Choose a temperature calibration range which is at least 5° C apartdepending on your expected operating range. Evenly bracket yourexpected sample temperature range. A maximum 20° C range isrecommended for maximum accuracy. For example, for measurementaround 20° C calibrate at 10° C and 30° C. For temperature span greaterthan 20° C, a three-point temperature calibration is recommended.For many samples, a single-point calibration near the expected sampletemperature will yield adequate results. A constant temperature bath ora hot plate is recommended to hold the temperature of calibrating solution.

For best results during temperature calibration, it is recommendedthat pH buffer or tap water be used as the temperature calibrating solution.Do Not Use deionized water because the conductivity is too low to obtain agood calibration.

IMPORTANT: When using the meter for the first time or restarting in the LogR mode, you mustperform a LogR temperature calibration. It isrecommended that at least a two-point temperaturecalibration be performed to meet optimum systemaccuracy. See Appendix Section for additionalinformation.

Chapter XGeneral Information onpH Calibration for Orion 320A one or two buffer calibration should be performed using fresh buffersbefore pH is measured. It is recommended that a two buffer calibration,using buffers that bracket the expected sample range, be performed at thebeginning of each day to determine the slope of the electrode. This servesthe dual purpose of determining if the electrode is working properly andstoring the slope value in memory. For maximum accuracy, perform aone-buffer calibration every two hours to compensate for electrode drift,using a fresh aliquot of pH 7 buffer.

When operating in the LogR mode, the meter does not require the use of aseparate ATC probe. The PerpHecT meters measure the resistance of thepH sensing glass and converts the value to temperature-compensated pHmeasurements. For optimum results, PerpHecT electrodes or PerpHecTROSS electrodes should be used.

For best results, it is recommended that the unit be calibrated fortemperature in the LogR mode. Alternately, an ATC probe may be used.If LogR or an ATC probe is not used, all samples and standards shouldbe at the same temperature or manual temperature compensation shouldbe used.

Stir all buffers and samples with a magnetic stirrer while a measurement isbeing made.

NOTE: Some magnetic stirrers generate enoughheat to change solution temperature. To avoid this,place a piece of cardboard, foam rubber, or otherinsulating material between the stir plate andbeaker.

Always use a fresh aliquot of buffer whenever calibrating.

Chapter XIIntroduction to Patented digitalLogR pH Measurement forOrion 320Obtaining accurate pH values depends on both correct measurement ofstandard and sample temperatures and on compensation for any variationsin these temperatures. This thermal compensation has generally beenaccomplished either manually (by measuring sample solution with athermometer and then dialing in the measured temperature on the meter),or automatically (by placing a separate temperature probe together with apH electrode in the solution).

The temperature of a solution affects pH measurements in two principalways:

1. The pH of buffers and samples actually changes slightly withtemperature. For buffers, this change is known and is built into thePerpHecT series of meters.

2. The slope of the calibration which the meter uses to convertmillivolt readings to pH, changes with temperature. At 25° C,a 10 degree change in temperature changes the slope by 3.4%.

How important is direct temperature compensation to pH measurement?

To see the effects of temperature, look up your approximate sampletemperature on the left side of Table 1. Read across the top to yourapproximate pH value. The value shown at the intersection is the errora 1° C change in temperature will cause in pH measurement withoutcompensation. Accurate temperature compensation is essential to accuratepH measurement.

Table 1 pH Error due to 1° C Temperature Change (in pH units)

A. What Is digital LogR?PerpHecT pH meters allow for direct temperature measurement andtemperature compensation from your pH electrode. With simultaneousmeasurement of pH and temperature, the patented Orion digitalLogR technology makes it possible using most standard glass pHelectrodes. The system is based on using the electrical resistance of theglass sensing bulb as the temperature probe. The name comes from thefact that the logarithm of the resistance of the bulb varies almost linearlywith the reciprocal of the absolute temperature (See Figure 5). Almost allcommon pH glasses show a similar decrease in resistance with increasingtemperature, and can be used with other types of meters. However, onlythe exact shape of the curve for Orion PerpHecT electrodes is in themeter’s memory.

To maximize system performance and accuracy, use PerpHecT ROSS andPerpHecT pH electrodes.

B. Orion 320 Temperature Calibration ProcedureThis procedure should be performed at least once per week to ensureaccurate temperature compensation when operating in the LogR mode.If the meter is powered down or the electrode disconnected, it isrecommended that you recalibrate the LogR temperature. See theAppendix Section for accuracy specifications and recommendedcalibration techniques.

Choose a temperature calibration range which is at least 5° C apartdepending on your expected operating range. Evenly bracket yourexpected sample temperature range. A maximum 20° C range isrecommended for maximum accuracy. For example, for measurementaround 20° C calibrate at 10° C and 30° C. For temperature spangreater than 20° C, a three-point temperature calibration is recommended.For many samples, a single-point calibration near the expected sampletemperature will yield adequate results. A constant temperature bath ora hot plate is recommended to hold the temperature of calibrating solution.

For best results during temperature calibration, it is recommended thatpH buffer or tap water be used as the temperature calibrating solution.Do Not Use deionized water because the conductivity is too low toobtain a good calibration.

IMPORTANT: When using the meter for the firsttime or restarting in the LogR mode, you must performa LogR temperature calibration. It is recommendedthat at least a two-point temperature calibrationbe performed to meet optimum system accuracy.See Appendix Section for additional information.

This thermal compensation has generally beenaccomplished either manually (by measuring sample solution with athermometer and then dialing in the measured temperature on the meter),or automatically (by placing a separate temperature probe together witha pH electrode in the solution).

The temperature of a solution affects pH measurements in two principalways:

1. The pH of buffers and samples actually changes slightly withtemperature. For buffers, this change is known and is built intothe PerpHecT series of meters.

2. The slope of the calibration, which the meter uses to convertmillivolt readings to pH, changes with temperature. At 25° C,a 10 degree change in temperature changes the slope by 3.4%.

How important is direct temperature compensation to pH measurement?

To see the effects of temperature, look up your approximate sampletemperature on the left side of Table 1. Read across the top to yourapproximate pH value. The value shown at the intersection is the errora 1° C change in temperature will cause in pH measurement withoutcompensation. Accurate temperature compensation is essential to accuratepH measurement.

Introduction to Patented digital LogR pH Measurement for Orion 330

A. What Is digital LogR?PerpHecT pH meters allow for direct temperature measurement andtemperature compensation from your pH electrode. With simultaneousmeasurement of pH and temperature, the patented Orion digitalLogR technology makes it possible using most standard glass pHelectrodes. The system is based on using the electrical resistance of theglass sensing bulb as the temperature probe. The name comes from thefact that the logarithm of the resistance of the bulb varies almost linearlywith the reciprocal of the absolute temperature (See Figure 5). Almost allcommon pH glasses show a similar decrease in resistance with increasingtemperature, and can be used with other types of meters. However, onlythe exact shape of the curve for Orion PerpHecT electrodes is in themeter’s memory.

To maximize system performance and accuracy, use PerpHecT ROSSand PerpHecT pH electrodes.

B. Orion 330 Temperature Calibration ProcedureThis procedure should be performed at least once per week to ensureaccurate temperature compensation when operating in the LogR mode.If the meter is powered down or the electrode disconnected, it isrecommended that you recalibrate the LogR temperature. See theAppendix Section for accuracy specifications and recommendedcalibration techniques.

Choose a temperature calibration range which is at least 5° C apartdepending on your expected operating range. Evenly bracket yourexpected sample temperature range. A maximum 20° C range isrecommended for maximum accuracy. For example, for measurementaround 20° C calibrate at 10° C and 30° C. For temperature spangreater than 20° C, a three-point temperature calibration is recommended.For many samples, a single-point calibration near the expected sampletemperature will yield adequate results. A constant temperature bath ora hot plate is recommended to hold the temperature of calibrating solution.

For best results during temperature calibration, it is recommended thatpH buffer or tap water be used as the temperature calibrating solution.Do Not Use deionized water because the conductivity is too low to obtain agood calibration.

IMPORTANT: When using the meter for the firsttime or restarting in the LogR mode, you mustperform a LogR temperature calibration. It isrecommended that at least a two-point temperaturecalibration be performed to meet optimum systemaccuracy. See Appendix Section for additionalinformation.

Orion 330 Temperature Calibration Procedure (cont'd)

To perform a LogR calibration, the LogR function must first be enabled inSETUP mode.

1. First, initiate the LogR mode using the SETUP key. When theLogR function is enabled, the LogR annunciator will be lit.

2. Press MODE key to access LogR temperature calibrationsequence. The LogR annunciator is on and the main readout willdisplay “CAL”. Press the YES key tobegin the LogR temperaturecalibration sequence. When the YES key has been pressed, thelast LogR calibration type (“1-PT”, “2-PT” or “3-PT”) will bedisplayed in the main readout. “2-PT” is the default.

3. Use the SCROLL (▲,▼) keys to change calibration type, thenpress YES key to accept. CAL will then be displayed in thereadout. The measured CAL value, based upon the last calibration,will be displayed. When the LogR signal stabilizes, the Readyannunciator will light up.

4. Adjust the CAL l value using the SCROLL keys. Press YES keyto accept.

5. If a two-point calibration is selected, CAL 2 will then be displayedin the main readout. Follow steps 3 and 4 to set the secondtemperature value. Follow the same steps if a three-pointcalibration is selected.

6. The meter will go to pH measure mode after accepting the finalcalibration value.

NOTE: A calibration may be aborted beforeaccepting the final calibration point by pressingthe MODE key. This will cause the system to display“ESC”, proceed to pH mode and retain to theprevious LogR temperature calibration data.
