• The contact capacity is 240 V AC 3 A or less, or 30 V DC 3 A or less
• If load noise is observed, use a varistor or noise killer

©
Mandatory
To connect a load beyond the contact capacity or use inductive load (such as a motor, or pump), be sure to use a power relay
whose ratiog is higher than the load.

A
Caution
When the instrument is turned off, the C-NC contact is shorted. Be careful when connecting a load.

Make output connections as shown in the figure shown beiow.

2.3.2 Connecting the electrode cable
Precautions for handling the electrode cable
The pH electrode cable is highly insulated. Follow ỉhe instructions below when handling it.
• Do not wet the terminals of the cable or the termina! biock, nor sỉain them With finger marks or
oil. otherwise, the insulation of the cable is weakened.
If the insulation is weakened, the readout may become unstable. Keep the cable dry and
clean all the time.
If a terminal is stained, wipe the dirt off using alcohol or the like and dry the terminal well.
• Allow enough cable length for calibration, or inspection/replacement of the electrode.
• Wire the power cable and junction cables keeping them off any devices that may give
inductive interferences such as a motor or its cables.
Connection
The electrode cable has the following terminals.
G Ị Glass electrode terminal
R............Ị Reference electrode terminal......................................

# Extending the electrode cable
When extending the electrode cable, be sure to use
• Special extension cable for electrode cables (C-5A) and
• Special relay box (CT-20) manufactured by HORIBA Advanced Techno.
The maximum distance from the instrument body to the electrode is 50 m.
It is recommended to enclose the extension cable with a conduit tube to protect it from
electrostatic damage, which may be caused by inductance, vibration, etc. In this case,
• C-5A cable terminal crimping

Electric Shock
Make sure that no electric power is supplied to the
instrument before starting this work.
Warning Do not turn on the power until your work is completed.

About the power switch

This instrument has no power switch Install a
power switch or circuit breaker around to turn
ON/OFF the instrument.
Connecting the power cable
The power supply of this instrument is a free
voitarge power supply (100 V AC to 240 V AC,
50/60 Hz).

4.2 Basic settings
Enter the maintenance mode to set up the electrode type, measurement
conditions, display settings, calibration method, contact output and
transmission output.
O Precautions
• Previous value hold is used for transmission output.
• Contact outputs are the following status:
• OFF when the control target is set to non, pH or Err.
• ON when the control target is set to Hold, ON
• FAIL when the control target is set to FAiL and a system error occurs.

4.3 Calibration
There are two types of calibration: pH calibration and temperature calibration.
[J
Be sure to perform the calibration using the standard solution at the first power ON.
4.3.1 pH calibration
There are two types of pH calibration: automatic calibration and manual calibration.
^RsferencfiJ
Refer to Automatic calibration ON/OFF” (page 26) for how to change the calibration method.

_ Tip
• You can enter the pH calibration mode from the measurement mode directly. Refer to “5.1
Daily calibration (calibration mode)” (page 49) for the procedures.
• This instrument is equipped with the automatic potential stability judgment function, which
automatically judges whether the electrode potential is stable or not at the time of calibration. If
the pH value fluctuation is within pH 0.05 for ten seconds, you can establish the value by
pressing the ENT key.

• Precautions
• Do not reuse standard solution.
• Previous value hold is used for transmission output during the maintenance mode.
• Contact outputs are in the following states during the maintenance, depending on the
selected control target.
• OFF when the control target is set to non, pH or Err.
• ON when the control target is set to Hold.
• FAIL when the control target is set to FAiL and a system error occurs.

• Operations
Open the calibration menu from the measurement mode.
1. Hold down the MNT key in the measurement mode until the MNT lamp lights up.

This is the maintenance information to keep the precision of this instrument and to use it better.
This chapter explains the maintenance to keep the precision of the instrument such as daily
calibration.

5.1 Daily calibration (calibration mode)

Here we explain howto perform daily calibration.
# Precautions for calibration
• Do not reuse standard solution.
• The transmission output is put to the state set in the “0 Hold outpuf (page 36) setting of the
basic setup.
• Contact outputs are put to the following conditions:
• Turned OFF when set to non, pH or Err.
• Turned ON when set to Hold, ON.
• FAIL is output if a system error is raised when set to FAiL.

0 Calibration operation
Operate it from the measurement mode.
1. Hold down the CAL key until the CAL lamp lights up.
The pH calibration menu appears and the calibration type selected in the basic setup
(automatic calibration or manual calibration) starts.
2. Or, perform calibration in accordance with the method described in “ • Automatic
calibration” (page 39) or “ • Manual calibration” (page 40).
5.2 Maintenance for the instrument body
5.2.1 Inspection of the meter
If insulation of the terminals for connecting the electrode has been weakened, accurate
measurement becomes difficult.
Inspect the terminal assembly periodically (once a year or so) to check for rust and the like that
cause insulation to become weak.
Wipe out the dirt from the body case with soft cloth.

Do not use an organic solvent or something similar.

5.3.1 Washing the electrode

Stain on the electrode is a cause of slow response, drifting readout, and unstable readout. Check
the tip of the electrode (glass membrane) and liquid junction periodically and keep them and their
coating clean by washing them.
It is recommended to wash the electrode at the same time of standard solution calibration. In this
case, be sure to perform standard solution calibration after the electrode.

or strong force Is applied. Be careful when handling it.

1. Remove the locket cap and drain all the internal solution from
the holder.
2. Remove the protective tube and flat washer, and remove the
electrode gasket from the holder.
3. Hold the electrode, and pull out the electrode gasket.
4. Pull out the electrode from the top of the holder.
5. Wash the holder, locket cap, flat washer and protective tube
using alcohol or the like, and dry them well.
6. Insert a new electrode from the top of the holder, and pull it
out from the bottom of the holder.
7. Remove the protective cap and caution label from the
electrode.
Do not throw away the protective cap. It is used when storing the

57).
*2: The contact output is not activated even if the target of the contact output has been set to
Err.
*3: Although E-21 and E-22 can happen during calibration, the contact output wilt not be
activated.

— Tip ~————————^
• Errors and FAILs can be output as an anomaly by setting the basic setup items.
• If any error code is displayed, the transmission output is preset to the value
just before the error happens.

without updating the calibration data.
• If any error occurs (because a wrong solution was used for calibration, etc), take necessary measures
referring to “6.3.2 Remedies for error codes” (page 57)
• To perform the temperature calibration, call up the calibration screen from the maintenance mode.
