4.2.1 General information
You can measure the following variables:

z pH value
z ORP voltage
Preparatory Perform the following preparatory activities when you want to measure:
activities
1 Connect the electrode to the measuring instrument.
2 Adjust the temperature of the buffer solutions or test solutions, or
measure the current temperature, if you measure without a tempera-
ture sensor.
3 In conjunction with the electrode, check or calibrate the measuring in-
stument. How to calibrate is described in section 4.3.
4 Select the measuring mode with <M>.
Warning
When connecting an earthed PC/printer, measurements cannot be per-
formed in earthed media as incorrect values would result. The RS 232 inter-
face is not galvanically isolated.
Note
Incorrect calibration of pH electrodes leads to incorrect measured values.
Calibrate regularly before measuring.
Temperature You can measure with or without a temperature sensor. If a temperature sen-
sensor sor is connected, it is indicated on the display by TP.
Note
The measuring instrument automatically recognizes the type of the tempera-
ture sensor used. Therefore, you can connect temperature sensors of the
NTC30 or Pt1000 type.
The temperature measurement is absolutely essential for a reproducible pH

measurement. If the measurement is made without a temperature sensor,
proceed as follows:
1 Measure the current temperature of the test sample using a ther-

mometer.
2 Enter the temperature on the instrument: Set the temperature value
of the test sample using <▲ > <▼>.

4.3 Calibrating
Why calibrate? pH electrodes age. This changes the asymmetry (zero point) and slope of the
pH electrode. As a result, an inexact measured value is displayed. Calibration
determines the current values of the asymmetry and slope of the electrode
and stores them in the measuring instrument.
Thus, you should calibrate at regular intervals.
When to calibrate? z After connecting another electrode

z When the sensor symbol flashes:
– after the calibration interval has expired
– after a voltage interruption, e. g. after changing the batteries
Calibration interval The calibration interval (Int 3) is set to 7 days in the factory. You can select
the interval in the range of 1 ... 999 days (see section 4.6 CONFIGURATION).
You can select between 3 calibration procedures:
AutoCal TEC is specially adapted to the WTW technical buffer solutions as a fully automat-
ic two-point or three-point calibration. The buffer solutions are automati-
cally recognized by the measuring instrument. Depending on the instrument
setting (see section 4.6 CONFIGURATION), the instrument displays the relevant
buffer nominal value or the current electrode voltage in mV. The calibration
can be terminated after the first buffer solution. This corresponds to a single-
point calibration. For this, the instrument uses the Nernst slope (-59.2 mV/
pH at 25 °C) and determines the asymmetry of the electrode.
AutoCal DIN is specially adapted to the permanently programmed buffer solutions in ac-
cordance with DIN19266 as a fully automatic two-point or three-point cali-
bration. The buffer solutions are automatically recognized by the measuring
instrument. Depending on the instrument setting (see section
4.6 CONFIGURATION), the instrument displays the relevant buffer nominal val-
ue or the current electrode voltage in mV. The calibration can be terminated
after the first buffer solution. This corresponds to a single-point calibration.
For this, the instrument uses the Nernst slope (-59.2 mV/pH at 25 °C) and de-
termines the asymmetry of the electrode.
ConCal This function is a conventional two-point calibration using two buffer solu-
tions (pH 7.0 ± 0.5 and any other buffer solution) or a single-point calibra-
tion using any buffer solution and is used as a high-speed method.
AutoRead When calibrating with AutoCal TEC and AutoCal DIN, the AutoRead function
is automatically activated.
The current AutoRead measurement can be terminated at any time (accept-
ing the current value) by pressing <RUN/ENTER>.
Displaying Each time the instrument is switched on, the calibration data are shown on
calibration data the display for a short time (see section 4.1 SWITCHING ON THE MEASURING IN-
18 ba52310e04 03/2008
STRUMENT). In order to view the calibration data, switch the measuring instru-
ment off and switch it on again.
Printing the The calibration protocol contains the calibration data of the current calibration.
calibration You can transmit the calibration protocol to a printer via the serial interface
record (340i) (see page 40).
Note
You can automatically print a calibration protocol after the calibration. To do
so, connect a printer to the interface according to section 4.5.3 before cali-
brating. After a valid calibration, the record is printed.

4.3.1 AutoCal TEC
For this procedure, use any two or three WTW technical buffer solutions in
ascending or descending order
(pH values at 25 °C: 2.00 / 4.01 / 7.00 / 10.01).
Note
The calibration for pH 10.01 is optimized for the WTW technical buffer solu-
tion TEP 10 Trace or TPL 10 Trace. Other buffer solutions can lead to an er-
roneous calibration. The correct buffer solutions are given in the WTW
catalog or in the Internet.
Note
The buffer solutions are automatically recognized by the measuring instru-
ment. Depending on the instrument setting (see section 4.6 CONFIGURATION),
the instrument displays the relevant buffer nominal value or the current elec-
trode voltage in mV.
Note
Skip the steps 2, 7 and 14 if you use a temperature sensor.
1 Press the <CAL> key repeatedly until the Ct1 display indicator and
the function display AutoCal TEC appears. The sensor symbol dis-
plays the evaluation of the last calibration (or no sensor symbol in the
delivery state or after the measurement parameter has been reset).

4.3.2 AutoCal DIN
For this procedure, use two or three different standard buffer solutions ac-
cording to DIN 19266 in ascending or descending order (type A, C, D or F
with pH values at 25 °C of: 1.679 / 4.006 / 6.865 / 9.180).
Note
The buffer solutions are automatically recognized by the measuring instru-
ment. Depending on the instrument setting (see section 4.6 CONFIGURATION),
the instrument displays the relevant buffer nominal value or the current elec-
trode voltage in mV.
Note
Skip the steps 2, 7 and 14 if you use a temperature sensor.

4.5 Transmitting data (only pH 340i)

You have the following possibilities of transmitting data:
z One of the following options:
– With the AutoStore function (page 34), measured values are
periodically saved internally (save interval Int 1) and output on the
interface.
– With the Data transmission interval function (Int 2), measured values
are periodically output on the interface (see below).
z With the Output data storage function (page 36), calibration data or saved
measured values are output on the interface.
z Via the analog recorder output (page 44), measured values are output as
voltage values.
z With the KOM pilot communication kit (accessory), data can be transmit-
ted bidirectionally (page 45).
Note
If you connect a recorder (analog output), the output on the digital interface
is switched off.
4.5.1 Data transmission interval (Int 2, pH 340i)
The interval to the data transmission (Int 2) determines the chronological in-
terval between automatic data transmissions. After the selected interval ex-
pires, the current data record is transmitted to the interface.
Note
When the AutoStore function is active, the data transmission is performed
according to the setting of the save interval (Int 1). Set the save interval (Int 1)
to OFF to activate the Data transmission interval (Int 2).

5.1 Maintenance
The measuring instrument is almost maintenance-free.
The only maintenance task is replacing the batteries.
LoBat indicates that the batteries should be changed. The batteries are
then largely depleted.
Replacing the batteries
1 Open the housing after the instrument has been switched off:
– Undo the four screws on the underside of the instrument
– Pull down the lower cover (1).
2 If necessary, take the four depleted batteries (2) out of the bat-
tery compartment.
3 Place four new batteries (type Mignon AA) in the battery com-
partment.
4 Close the lower cover (1).
Warning
Make sure that the poles of the batteries are the right way round.
The ± signs on the batteries must correspond to the ± signs in the bat-
tery compartment.
Only use leakproof alkaline manganese batteries.

Glossary
Adjusting To manipulate a measuring system so that the relevant value (e. g. the
displayed value) differs as little as possible from the correct value or
a value that is regarded as correct, or that the difference remains with-
in the tolerance.
Asymmetry Designation for the offset potential of a pH electrode. It is the measur-
able potential of a symmetrical electrode, the membrane of which is
immersed in a solution with the pH of the nominal electrode zero point
(WTW electrodes: pH = 7).
AutoRange Name of the automatic selection of the measuring range.
AutoRead WTW name for a function to check the stability of the measured value.
Calibration Comparing the value from a measuring system (e. g. the displayed
value) to the correct value or a value that is regarded as correct. Of-
ten, this expression is also used when the measuring system is adjust-
ed at the same time (see adjusting).
Diaphragm The junction is a porous body in the housing wall of reference elec-
trodes or electrolyte bridges. It forms the electrical contact between
two solutions and makes electrolyte exchange more difficult. The ex-
pression, junction, is also used for ground or junction-less transitions.
Electrode zero point The zero point of a pH electrode is the pH value at which the electro-
motive force of the pH electrode at a specified temperature is zero.
Normally, this is at 25 °C.
Electromotive force of The electromotive force U of the electrode is the measurable electro-
an electrode motive force of an electrode in a solution. It equals the sum of all the
galvanic voltages of the electrode. Its dependency on the pH results
in the electrode function which is characterized by the parameters,
slope and zero point.
Measured parameter The measured parameter is the physical dimension determined by
measuring, e. g. pH, conductivity or D. O. concentration.
Measured value The measured value is the special value of a measured parameter to
be determined. It is given as a combination of the numerical value and
unit (e. g. 3 m; 0.5 s; 5.2 A; 373.15 K).
Measuring system The measuring system comprises all the devices used for measuring,
e. g. measuring instrument and probe. In addition, there is the cable
and possibly an amplifier, terminal strip and armature.
Molality Molality is the quantity (in Mol) of a dissolved substance in 1000 g sol-
vent.
MultiCal® WTW name stating that a measuring instrument provides several cal-
ibration procedures.

pH 330i/340i Lists
Offset potential The measurable potential of a symmetrical electrode, the membrane

of which is immersed in a solution with the pH of the nominal electrode
zero point. The asymmetry is part of the offset potential.
ORP voltage The ORP is caused by oxidizing or reducing substances dissolved in
water if these substances become effective on an electrode surface
(e. g. a gold or platinum surface).
pH value The pH is a measure of the acidic or basic effect of an aqueous solu-
tion. It corresponds to the negative decadic logarithm of the molal hy-
drogen ions activity divided by the unit of the molality. The practical pH
value is the value of a pH measurement.
Potentiometry Name of a measuring technique. The signal (depending on the mea-
sured parameter) of the electrode is the electrical potential. The elec-
trical current remains constant.
Reset Restoring the original condition of all settings of a measuring system.
Resolution Smallest difference between two measured values that can be dis-
played by a measuring instrument.
Slope The slope of a linear calibration function.
Standard solution The standard solution is a solution where the measured value is
known by definition. It is used to calibrate a measuring system.
Test sample Designation of the sample ready to be measured. Normally, a test
sample is made by processing the original sample. The test sample
and original sample are identical if the test sample was not processed.
