pH measurement
■ pH measurement
You can measure the pH of the sample with a pH electrode.
Use a combination electrode incorporating a glass electrode and a reference electrode
for measurement. A single glass electrode cannot be used with this instrument.
pH can be measured using channel 1 of the instrument.
● Setting the instrument

• Setting temperature compensation
Automatic temperature compensation function can be used by using a combination
electrode equipped with a temperature sensor or connecting a temperature
compensation electrode. By measuring temperature during calibration of the pH
standard solution and compensating for the change in pH value of the standard solution
due to its temperature changes, you can perform calibration using the value matched to
the standard solution temperature (only when the standard solution setting is NIST and
USA). However, the function does not convert the pH value according to the temperature
characteristics of each sample, and you must record the obtained value together with the
sample temperature value. The variation of pH value accompanying the temperature
change differs depending on the sample.
If you do not use the automatic temperature compensation function, match the
temperature setting of the instrument to the temperature of the standard solution during
calibration and match the sample temperature to the temperature setting of the
instrument in measurement. By doing so, you can obtain the correct measurement value
without being affected by sensitivity variation caused by temperature.
1. Press the key to enter the setting mode.

2. Press the keys to select "TEMP" (temperature setting) and then press the
key.
If the temperature connector (T) is connected, "ATC" (automatic temperature
compensation) appears. If the temperature connector (T) is not connected, "MTC"
(manual temperature compensation) appears.

● Performing calibration
Calibration is necessary to measure pH accurately.
We recommend performing calibration once a day, before the first measurement.
According to the following procedure, perform calibration accurately.
Note
・ Perform two-point calibration using pH 7 and pH 4 when you know that the sample is
acidic; pH 7 and pH 10 when you know that the sample is alkaline.
・Perform three-point calibration using pH 4, pH 7, and pH 10 when the sample is unknown.
・ You can confirm the current calibration data in the setting mode and delete the calibration
data in the setting mode. (Refer to "Displaying the latest calibration and inspection data"
(page 70), "Deleting calibration data" (page 75).)
• pH standard solution setting is USA or NIST

This section describes the procedure for two-point calibration of USA standard, pH 4 and
7, as an example of general calibration.
1. Clean the pH electrode with pure water (or

deionized water) and wipe it with filter paper
or tissue paper.
2. Open the internal solution filler port of the pH

electrode.
If calibration is performed with the port closed,
the internal solution does not flow and the
measurement value is not stable. Make sure to
keep the port open during calibration.
3. Perform the 1st point calibration. Immerse at

least 3 cm from the tip of the pH electrode in
the pH 7 standard solution.
In order for the internal solution to flow into the
standard solution, make sure to immerse the
liquid junction in the standard solution surely.
4. Press the key to enter the calibration
mode.
Stability judgment automatically starts and the pH icon blinks until the measured
value stabilizes. When the measured value stabilizes, the pH icon changes from the
blinking state to the lit state.

When calibrating three points or more, use the same procedure to continue calibrating
the 3rd and subsequent points after the 2nd point calibration. You can calibrate up to five
points. Also, you can inspect repeatability using the pH 7 standard solution. About the
repeatability inspection procedure, refer to "Inspecting repeatability" (page 30).
Tip
The order of calibration of the standard solution is optional.
In the above example, you can calibrate pH 4 first and then pH 7.
Note
• If calibration of any standard solution is performed again, only the value of calibrated
solution is updated. If calibration is repeated, only the calibration value of used standard
solution is updated. The calibration values are retained until next calibration is performed,
the data is deleted or buffer setting is changed. For the procedure for deleting the
calibration data, refer to "Deleting calibration data" (page 75).
• It is recommended that you should clear the previous calibration data before the
calibration in order to perform more accurate calibration.
•Check of the pH electrode status

After calibration is complete, the current pH electrode status is diagnosed from the
calibration result. Refer to the following table for maintenance of the electrode.

Maintenance
● Maintenance and storage of the pH electrode

For the detailed procedures for maintaining and storing electrodes, refer to the
instruction manual for each electrode. This section describes an overview of the
procedures for maintenance and storage to be performed as part of daily use.
• How to clean the electrode

When the tip of an electrode (responsive membrane and liquid junction) becomes dirty,
the response speed may become slow or an error may occur in the measurement
results. To avoid such error, clean the electrode. For dirt that cannot be removed by pure
water (or deionized water), use the cleaning solution indicated below depending on the
type of dirt. After cleaning, rinse the electrode with pure water (or deionized water).
Type of dirt Cleaning solution

General Diluted neutral cleaning solution
Oil Alcohol, or diluted neutral cleaning solution
Inorganic substance 1 mol/L HCl or electrode cleaning solution (model 220)
Cleaning solution including protein-removing enzyme (model
Protein
250)
Immerse 1 mol/L HCl or electrode cleaning solution (model 220)
alkali
in 1 h to 2 h
• Daily storage of the electrode

If the electrode becomes dry, the response will become slow. Store in a moist
atmosphere. Follow the steps below to properly store the electrode.
1. Clean the electrode well with pure water (or deionized water) to remove sample
completely, and close the internal solution filler port.
2. Clean inside of the protective cap with pure water (or deionized water), then
add enough pure water (or deionized water) to soak the sponge.
3. Attach the protective cap.
• When the electrode will not be used for a long period

To store the electrode for a long period, follow the electrode storage procedure above,
and in addition, use a dropper or similar tool to replace the reference electrode internal
solution (model 300) with new solution. Replace the internal solution once every three to
six months.

Maintenance
● Checking the state of the ORP electrode

ORP standard solution can be used to check the state of the ORP electrode.
This solution is only used to check the state of the ORP electrode; it is not used to
calibrate the instrument. The procedure for checking the electrode using HORIBA ORP
standard solution powder 160-22 or 160-51 is explained below.
1. Add one bag of 160-22 or 160-51 standard solution powder to 250 mL of

deionized water and mix thoroughly.
When mixing, the excess quinhydrone (a black powder) will float to the surface of the
solution.
2. Immerse a washed and dried ORP electrode in the prepared standard solution
and measure the mV value.
If the electrode and the instrument are working properly, numerical values within ±15
mV of those indicated below should be obtained.
The ORP value varies by temperature. Check the appropriate ORP value for the
temperature of the standard solution.
3. If the ORP value is not within ±15 mV, replace the reference electrode internal
solution.
If the surface of the metal electrode is dirty, wipe it gently with a soft material such as
absorbent cotton moistened with alcohol or a neutral cleaning solution, or immerse in
dilute nitric acid (1:1 nitric acid) to remove the dirt.
4. Repeat the measurement.
If the ORP value is within ±15 mV, the electrode is normal.
If not within ±15 mV, the electrode may have failed. Replace the electrode.
Note
・ If the prepared standard solution is left out in air for one hour or more, that the ORP value
might change. Do not use the ORP standard solution that was prepared more than an hour
before.
・ When measuring a solution that has low concentrations of oxidants and reductants after
conducting an operational check using a standard substance, the measured values may not
stabilize or the repeatability might be poor. If this is the case, use the ORP electrode after
immersing it in the solution again and mixing it thoroughly.
• ORP value based on the temperature of ORP standard solution

Maintenance
● Maintenance and storage of the conductivity cell

For the detailed procedures for maintaining and storing cells, refer to the instruction
manual for each cell. This section describes an overview of the procedures for
maintenance and storage to be performed as part of daily use.
• How to clean the cell

Always wash the cell in pure water (or deionized water) after every measurement. When
the response is slow or residue from the sample adheres to the cell, use the appropriate
method below to clean the cell, and then wash again with pure water (or deionized
water).

General Diluted neutral cleaning solution
Inorganic substance Ethanol (keep the ethanol away from plastic parts)
A commercially available scale remover (neutral cleansing
solution for kitchen use, etc.) diluted by a factor of 100. If this
Scale that formed during

long term storage
oxygen bleach (sodium percarbonate) or chlorine bleach
(sodium hypochlorite).
• Daily storage of the cell

If the cell is stored in a dry state, the cell constant will change. Store with the black
electrode part immersed in pure water (or deionized water), or with the protective cap
filled with pure water (or deionized water) and attached to the cell.

To store the cell for a long period, wash it well and attach the protective cap filled with
pure water (or deionized water).
