SAFETY INFORMATION
INSTALLATION: This instrument must be installed by trained instrumentation personnel in accordance with
relevant local codes and instructions in this manual. Observe all instrument specifications and ratings.
SHOCK HAZARD: Make sure power to all wires is turned off before proceeding with installation or service of
this instrument. High voltage may be present on the input power and relay wiring.
RELAY CONTROL ACTION: 200pH/CR relays will always de-energize on loss of power, equivalent to normal
state, regardless of relay state setting for powered operation. Configure any control system using these
relays with fail-safe logic accordingly.
PROCESS UPSETS: Because process and safety conditions may depend on consistent operation of this
instrument, provide appropriate means to maintain operation during sensor cleaning, replacement or sensor
or instrument calibration.
This manual includes specific safety information with the following designations and formats:
WARNING: OF POTENTIAL FOR PERSONAL INJURY.
CAUTION: of possible instrument damage or malfunction.
NOTE: of important operating information.

ambient temperature. The display contrast is
adjusted from the factory for operation at standard
room temperature (25°C). If the meter is operated
at an ambient temperature that is much different
then it may be necessary to make an adjustment.
A potentiometer is accessible from the back side
of the instrument to change the contrast. Use a
small slotted screwdriver to gently turn the
potentiometer. A counter-clockwise turn will
increase the contrast and a clock-wise turn will
decrease the contrast. The rear panel is shown in

ALARM INDICATIONS
A setpoint can be programmed as a high limit, a
low limit or a USP limit. When a measurement is
higher than a high (or USP) point or lower than a
low point then the setpoint is in alarm state. This
condition is indicated by flashing the corresponding
measurement value in the normal operating
display. See Chapter 5: Using Setpoints.

Voltage Calibration for pH and ORP
It is generally not necessary to calibrate the

voltage range which is used for pH measurement.
pH sensor calibration is performed frequently in
NIST traceable pH buffer solutions and will override
any voltage calibration. (The pH scale is defined by
response in NIST standard reference materials.)
The voltage input is used with ORP sensors. To
calibrate the voltage range, use a stable voltage
source and precision voltmeter and connect as
given in Figure 14.10. Follow the procedure above,
selecting "Volts" as the signal to be calibrated. A
two-point calibration should be done near -400 and

PH SENSOR DIAGNOSTICS
The Adder and Multiplier constants described
above can provide valuable preventive maintenance
information about the sensors.
The Adder factor (zero, asymmetry or standardize
offset) is an indication of how far the sensor has
drifted from the nominal zero starting point, in pH
units. It is recalculated after ever calibration. Drift in
this value is usually due to aging or contamination
of the reference electrode portion of the sensor.
An offset of more than ±2.5 pH units or a more
rapid change in this value is an indication that the
sensor should be replaced soon. The Adder factor
"A" can be viewed at any time in the Edit Sensor
Cal menu. However, the value must not be
changed in this menu or the sensor will have to be
recalibrated.
Because the 200pH/CR meter is auto-ranging,
when the Adder Factor is very small, it may be
displayed in milli-pH units with an "m" prefix
following the numeric value. In this case the value
is very near the nominal zero offset.
