1 Introduction
Thank you for purchasing this METTLER TOLEDO instrument. The SevenCompact Series is not only
a new generation of intuitive and easy-to-operate bench meters for reliable measurements, they
also provide extra security against mistakes and support your workflow in the laboratory.
Mistakes can be reduced to a minimum because of the following characteristics:
● New ISM® (Intelligent Sensor Management) technology: the meter automatically recognizes
the sensor and transfers the latest set of calibration data from the sensor chip to the meter. The
last five calibrations as well as the initial calibration certificate are also stored on the sensor
chip. These can be reviewed, transferred and printed. ISM® provides additional security and
helps eliminate mistakes.
● Multi-language graphical user interface on a large 4.3 inch display with intuitive menu
guid­ance, making the operating instructions primarily a source of reference.
● GLP and Routine mode for the needs of any operator: in the routine mode, the deletion of
data is prevented and changing those settings that would potentially jeopardize the collection
of reli­able results, such as measurement settings, are blocked. This provides extra security
for rou­tine daily work. Skilled workers are advised to employ the GLP mode to enjoy the
instruments’ powerful full functional range.
This instrument supports the workflow of a modern laboratory in all stages of the data collection
and archiving process:
● The electrode arm can be operated with one hand and moves perfectly straight up and down
to bring the electrode in the perfect position for the best measurement performance. This
allows faster measurements and poses less risk to tip over the sample vessel and/or damage
the head of the sensor!
● Only one keypress required: READ starts a measurement and CAL a calibration. It’s so easy!
● Easy switching between the normal view and the uFocus™. The normal view has all the
mea­sure­ment parameters and IDs on the display to provide you an instant complete overview.
In the uFocus™ only the most important information is shown in large digits, such as mea­
sure­ment value and temperature. This enables you to focus completely on the measurement,
with­out getting distracted by information that is not relevant to you.
● Easy toggling with the MODE soft key between the various measurement parameters either
before or during a measurement.
● Versatile data archiving options: print data, export data to a USB-stick, or send data to a PC
with LabX direct software!
● Versatile data entry procedures: Enter sample / user and sensor IDs either directly on the
instru­ment, or use a barcode reader or USB-Keyboard to increase efficiency.
At METTLER TOLEDO we are committed to providing you instruments of highest quality and we do
all we can to support you in maximizing the lifetime of your instrument:
● IP54 rating – water and dust protection: we have designed our instrument in such way, that
it withstands drops of aqueous solutions on the housing and connections. This not only pro­
vides extra protection, but also allows easy cleaning of the instrument with a damp cloth.
● Rubber plugs and protective cover provide extra security against dust and spills of aqueous
solu­tions. Just keep the plug attached to the connections and cover the instrument with the
trans­par­ent protective cover when not in use.
Have fun and many reliable measurements with our Seven Compact series of pH, Ion and con­duc­
tiv­i­ty meters!

• The endpoint format blinks, indicating a measurement is in progress.

As soon as the measurement is stable according to the selected stability criterion, the Stability
icon appears.
● If the “automatic endpoint” format is selected, the measurement stops automatically as soon
as the Stability icon appears.
● If the “manual endpoint” format is selected, press READ to manually stop the measurement.
● If the “timed endpoint” format is selected, the measurement stops after the preset time.

4.12 Data transfer

It is possible to transfer either all data or a user-defined set of data from the memory to a METTLER
TOLEDO printer (for example RS-P26), to a PC by using LabX direct or to a USB memory stick.
The following section describes how to proceed with the different configurations.
Data transfer from the meter to a printer
1 Connect the RS232 cable to the meter and the corresponding interface on the backside of the
print­er.
2 Select the interface “printer” in the data transfer settings menu (see “Setup: Data Transfer Set­
tings”).
3 Start transfer in the data menu.
For some printers (e.g. RS-P25, RS-P26 and RS-P28), the baud rate settings will be automatically
syn­chro­nized with those of the instrument.
For other printers the settings for data transfer in the printer need to be adjusted as follows:
● Baud rate: 1200
● Data bits: 8
● Parity: none
● Stop bits: 1

Data transfer from the meter to LabX direct pH

1 Connect the instrument via USB B to the PC.
The icon appears on the display.
2 Select the interface “LabX direct” in the data transfer settings menu (see “Setup: Data Trans-
fer Set­tings”).
3 Open LabX direct pH and select the correct instrument.

20 Operating the meter

4 Select the item and Transfer in the data menu to start the transfer.

Data export from the meter to a USB stick

1 Insert the USB stick into the corresponding interface of the meter.
The icon appears on the display.
2 Select the item and Export to USB-Stick in the data menu to start the transfer.
The data will be in text (extension .txt) format. The instrument will create a new folder on the USB-
stick in which the name is the date in the international format, i.e. first year, then month and then
the day.
Example: when the date is 25 November 2011, the name of the folder will be: 20111125.
The data will be written as a text file with a name that consists of the time in 24h format (hr min
sec) with a prefix depending on what kind of data is exported. This prefix is M for measurement
data and C for calibration data.
Example: when calibration data are exported at 15:12:25 (3:12:25 pm) the name of the file will
be: C151225.txt
Pressing EXIT during the exporting aborts the process

4.13 Temperature compensation

We recommend the use of either a built-in or a separate temperature probe. If a temperature probe
is used, ATC and the sample temperature are displayed. If no temperature sensor is used, MTC is
dis­played and the sample temperature should be entered manually.
The meter accepts both NTC 30 kΩ and pT1000 temperature sensors, with selection taking place
either automatically or manually (see “Menus and settings: Temperature settings”).
In the pH and ion mode, the meter calculates the temperature-adjusted electrode slope using this
tem­per­a­ture and shows the temperature-compensated pH/ion value in the measurement display.

5.2 Sample ID
An alphanumeric sample ID with up to 16 characters can be entered. Alternatively, a previously
entered sample ID can be selected from the list. If a sample ID has been entered, which is either
pure­ly numeric (for example, 123) or ends with a number (for example, WATER123), the fol­low­
ing options are available:
1. <Auto Sequential> On
Using this setting will automatically increment the sample ID by 1 for each reading.
2. <Auto Sequential> Off
The sample ID is not incremented automatically.
A maximum of 10 sample IDs are stored in memory and listed for selection. If the maximum of 10
has already been entered, a sample ID can either be deleted manually or the oldest ID will be auto­
mat­i­cal­ly overwritten by the new ID.
This instrument allows a special process for users that would like to enter the sample ID in a
quick­er way. When the homescreen is shown, while no measurement or calibration is running,
typ­ing on a USB-keyboard or scanning with a barcode reader, results in a jump in the sample ID
entry screen and the entered characters are shown. In case a character is entered or scanned that
is not present on the instrument keyboard (see “Operating the meter: Entering IDs/PIN”). It will dis­
play the entry as an underscore (_).

5.3 User ID
A user ID with up to 16 characters can be entered. Alternatively, a previously entered user ID can
be selected from the list.

22 Setup
A maximum of 10 user IDs are stored in memory and listed for selection. If the maximum of 10
has already been entered, a user ID can either be deleted manually or the oldest ID will be auto­
mat­i­cal­ly overwritten by the new ID.

5.4 Stirrer
The user can connect the METTLER-TOLEDO external magnetic stirrer to the instrument. This stir-
rer is powered by the instrument and will be automatically switched on/off according to the settings
by the user.

● <Stir Before Measurement> On
Using this setting will include a stirring period before the measurement starts (after pressing
READ). The user can set the time between 3 s and 60 s.
● < Stir Before Measurement > Off
No stirring before the measurement will take place.

2. Stir During Measurement

● <Stir During Measurement> On
Using this setting will results in stirring during the measurement. When the measurement end­
points, the stirrer is automatically swiched off.
● < Stir During Measurement > Off
No stirring during the measurement will take place.

3. Stir Speed
● The user can adjust the stir speed of the stirrer according to his preferences and the char­ac­ter­
is­tics of the sample.
● A stir speed between 1 and 5 can be selected, with 5 being fastest.
To indicate that the instrument is stirring when the option “Stir Before Measurement” has been
select­ed, the instrument will display the icon .

5.5 Data Transfer Settings

1. Data Logging
The meter stores up to 1000 sets of measurement data in the memory. The number of data sets al-
ready stored in the memory is indicated by MXXXX on the display. A message appears on the dis­
play when the memory is full. To save further measurements if the memory is full, data has to be
deleted first. You can select between automatic and manual storage.
1. Automatic storage
Stores/transfers every endpointed reading to the memory/interface or both automatically.
2. Manual storage
If “Manual Storage” is set, Store appears on the display as soon as a measurement has end­
point­ed. Press Store to save/transfer endpointed readings. The endpointed reading can only
be stored once. When the data is stored, Store disappears from the measurement screen.
When the Store key is shown but you go into the menu settings before saving the mea­sure­
ment, the Store key will not be present anymore when you exit the menu settings and return to
the measurement screen.

4. Beep
An acoustic signal can be switched on in the following three cases:
1. Key is pressed
2. Alarm/warning message appears
3. Measurement is stable and has endpointed (stability signal appears)

5. Expert/Routine modes
The meter has two working modes:
● Expert mode: the factory default setting enables all functions of the meter.
● Routine mode: some of the menu settings are blocked.
The concept of the two working modes is a GLP feature that ensures that important settings and
stored data cannot be deleted cannot be unintentionally changed under routine working conditions.
The meter only allows the following functions in the routine mode:

Setup 25
 ● Calibrating and measuring
● Editing user, sample and sensor IDs
● Editing the MTC temperature
● Editing data transfer settings
● Editing system-settings (PIN-protected)
● Running the instrument self-test
● Storing, viewing, printing and exporting data
● Exporting settings to USB-stick

6. Screen settings
Screen Brightness
The screen brightness can be set from levels 1 to 16.
Screen Saver
The amount of time can be set which passes before the screen saver is activated:
5-99 minutes
If the meter is not operated during this time, the screen saver is activated. Press any key and the
dis­play is activated again, independent of the function of the key.
Screen Color
The display background color blue, grey, red or green can be selected.
The display has a limited lifetime; therefore we recommend activating the screen saver or switching
off the meter when not in operation.
If an instrument login password is set, this password is required after activating the display again.

5.7 Service
1. Software Update
In case a newer software version is available, the user can perform a software update via USB-
stick, by adhering to the following process:
1 Make sure that the firmware is in the root directory of the USB-stick and has a name
S<xxx>v<yyy>.bin, with <xxx> being the number of the instrument type (220 for pH/Ion me-
ter and 230 for conductivity meter) and <yyy> being the version number.
2 Connect the USB-stick to the instrument
3 Select the option “software update”
A message appears that the software update ist in progress
4 When the software update is completed you need to restart the instrument for the changes to
become effective.
● After the software update the instrument is switched back to factory settings. All unsaved data
will be lost and the PIN will be set back to “000000”.
● In case the USB-stick is removed during the update process or the power adapter is plugged
out, the instrument cannot be switched on anymore. Please contact METTLER TOLEDO service
in that case.

26 Setup
2. Export Settings to a USB-stick
With this feature the user can export the settings. These can for example be sent via e-mail to a
cus­tomer service representative in case difficulties occur, so that it is easier for the customer ser­
vice representative to provide support.
1 Insert the USB stick into the corresponding interface of the meter
The icon appears on the display
2 Select the item and Export Settings to USB-Stick in the service menu to start the transfer
The settings will be in text (extension .txt) format. The instrument will create a new folder on the
USB-stick in which the name is the date in the international format, i.e. first year, then month and
then the day.
Example: when the data is 25 November 2011, the name of the folder will be: 20111125.
The data will be written as a text file with a name that consists of the time in 24h format (hr min
sec) with the prefix S.
Example: when settings are exported at 15:12:25 (3:12:25 pm) the name of the file will be:
S151225.txt
Pressing EXIT during the exporting aborts the process
3. Factory Reset
When the factory reset is performed, the instrument will revert back to the original settings when
the instru­ment left the factory. All data will be lost and the PIN is set-back to the original PIN
“000000”.

5.8 Instrument self-test

The instrument self-test requires user interaction.
1 In the Setup menu, select “6. Instrument Self-test”.
Selecting the menu item starts the self-test routine.
2 Press the function keys on the keypad one by one in any order.
The self-test result is displayed after a few seconds.
The meter returns to the system settings menu automatically.
● The user needs to finish pressing all seven keys within two minutes, otherwise “Self-test
failed!” appears and the procedure has to be repeated.
● If error messages repeatedly appear, contact METTLER TOLEDO Service.

6.2 Sensor ID/SN

1. Enter Sensor ID/SN
An alphanumeric sensor ID with up to 12 characters can be entered. The sensor ID will be as-
signed to each calibration and measurement value. This is valuable for tracing back data.
The maximium number of sensors for both sensor types (pH and Ion) is 30. When this number
has been reached, first a sensor has to be deleted before a new sensor can be created (see the
note at the end of this section how to delete a sensor).
If a new sensor ID is entered, the theoretical calibration slope and offset for this type of electrode
will be loaded. The sensor has to be newly calibrated.
If a sensor ID is entered, which is already in the memory of the meter and has been calibrated be-
fore, the specific calibration data for this sensor ID will be loaded.
When a new ion sensor ID is entered, the ion type for this sensor can be selected. This ion type
remains assigned to this sensor until the sensor has been deleted.
When connecting an ISM® sensor to the meter, the meter will:
● Automatically recognize the sensor when it’s turned on (alternatively, when pressing READ or
CAL)
● Load the stored sensor ID, sensor SN and sensor type as well as the latest calibration data of
this sensor
● Use this calibration for the subsequent measurements
The sensor ID for ISM® sensors can be changed. Sensor SN and sensor type, however, are blocked
for modification.
2. Select Sensor ID
Already entered sensor IDs can be selected from a list.
If a sensor ID is selected, which is already in the memory of the meter and has been calibrated be-
fore, the specific calibration data for this sensor ID will be loaded.

B6 1.680 4.003 6.864 9.182 12.460 (at 25°C) Chinese
B7 2.00 4.01 7.00 10.00 (at 25°C) Technical buffer
B8 1.679 4.008 6.865 9.180 (at 25°C) JIS Z 8802
Temperature tables for these buffers are programmed in the meter and can be found in the “Appen­
dix”.
Customized pH buffer group
A set of user-defined pH buffers with up to 5 different temperatures for each buffer can be created.
The temperature difference between pH buffers must be at least 5 °C and the difference between the
pH values must be at least 1.
When switching from predefined buffer group to customized buffer group, press Save in the table
even if no values have changed.
Ion standards
Concentrations for up to 5 standards with one standard temperature can be defined. The ion con­
cen­tra­tion unit for measurements and calibration can be defined. Six concentration units are avail­
able:
● mmol/L
● mol/L
● ppm
● mg/L
● %
● pX
1 Select ion concentration unit
2 Edit table by pressing Read
3 Press and to enter the value and press READ to confirm.
4 Navigate with the arrows to Save and press READ to confirm

Calibration mode
Two calibration modes are offered:

Menus and settings 29

 ● Segmented: the calibration curve is made up of linear segments joining the individual cal­i­bra­
tion points. If high accuracy is required, the segment method is recommended.
● Linear: the calibration curve is determined using linear regression. This method is rec­om­
mend­ed for samples with widely varying values.
These settings applies to both pH and Ion calibration.
Calibration reminder
When the calibration reminder is “On”, the user is reminded to perform a new calibration after a
cer­tain user-defined interval (maximum 9999 h) has elapsed.
● Press READ to save the interval and another screen appears to select calibration expiration
date.
Four different time spans can be programmed. In all four cases, a warning message appears that
the electrode should be calibrated.
● Immediately
The meter is immediately blocked for measurement when the predefined interval has elapsed.
● Reminder + 1h
The meter is blocked for measurement 1 hour after the predefined interval has elapsed.
● Reminder + 2h
The meter is blocked for measurement 2 hours after the predefined interval has elapsed.
● Continue Reading
The user can continue measuring when the predefined interval has elapsed.

6.4 Measurement settings

Measurement Resolution
The resolution for pH and mV needs to be set for the display. Up to 3 decimal places can be cho­
sen depending on the unit of measurement (see table below).
On display Description Option
X.XXX three decimal places pH
X.XX two decimal places pH
X.X one decimal place pH, mV
X no decimal places mV

In the ion mode, the measurement resolution depends on the concentration and the unit of the
mea­sured ion.
Stability Criterion
The Stability icon appears according to the following stability criteria:
- Stability criteria for pH and mV measurement
Strict

The measured signal should not change by more than 0.03 mV in 8 seconds or by more than
0.1 mV in 30 seconds.
Medium

30 Menus and settings

The measured signal should not change by more than 0.1 mV in 6 seconds.
Fast

The measured signal should not change by more than 0.6 mV in 4 seconds.

- Stability criterion for ion measurement

Strict

The measured signal should not change by more than 0.03 mV in 12 seconds or by more than
0.08 mV in 26 seconds.
Medium

The measured signal should not change by more than 0.08 mV in 8 seconds.
Fast

The measured signal should not change by more than 0.3 mV in 4 seconds.

Ion Measurement Units

The ion concentration unit for measurements and calibration can be selected between the following
six units: mmol/L, mol/L, ppm, mg/L, %, pX.
In some cases, changing measurement units requires the user to first recalibrate before starting a
mea­sure­ment, otherwise an error message will appear. The units of measurement are divided in
two groups: 1. mmol/L, mol/L and pX, and 2. ppm, mg/L, %. Changing within a group does not
require calibration, but changing between the two groups does.
Ion Type
When using an ion sensor to which previously a sensor ID has been assigned, the ion type that
has been assigned to this sensor ID is automatically used.
However, in case one would like to measure without a sensor ID, it is important to assign the cor­
rect ion type. This is because the theoretical slope depends on the charge of the ion (see below)
Eight specific and four general ion types are available:
F- (fluoride), Cl- (chloride), CN- (cyanide), NO3- (nitrate), Na+ (sodium), K+ (potassium), Ca2+
(Cal­ci­um), Cu2+ (cuprous), Ion-, Ion+, Ion2- and Ion2+.
Depending on the type of electrode the theoretical slope differs due to the charge of the ion. The flu­
o­ride electrode has e.g. a theoretical slope of +59.16 mV/pX whereas the theoretical slope of a
cal­ci­um electrode is -29.58 mV/pX. This theoretical value is loaded for a new entered sensor ID
until the sensor is calibrated.
Rel. mV Offset
In the rel. mV mode the offset value is subtracted from the measured value. Either an offset value
can be entered or it can be determine by measuring the mV of a reference sample.
Offset value
● Enter an offset value in mV between -1999.9 and +1999.9 mV.

6.6 Timed Interval Readings

A reading is taken every time after a certain interval (1 – 2400 s) defined in the menu has
elapsed. When working in the timed-interval reading mode, the interval can be defined by entering
the seconds. The measurement series stops according to the selected endpoint format or manually
by pressing READ. When timed-interval reading is “on”, the DL icon appears.
The readings can be stored in the memory, transferred to the interface or both.

6.7 Temperature settings

● Set MTC temperature
If the meter does not detect a temperature probe, MTC appears on the display. In this case the
sam­ple temperature should be entered manually. An MTC value between -30 °C and 130 °C
can be entered.
● Temperature unit
Select the temperature unit: °C or °F. The temperature value is automatically converted
between the two units.
● The instrument works with NTC30 kΩ and Pt1000 temperature sensors. You can select be-
tween automatic recognition or manual selection of the temperature sensor type. For tem­per­
a­tures below 100°C the instrument can reliably distinguish between NTC30 kΩ and Pt1000.
At higher temperatures, however, it is necessary to set the type of temperature sensor man­u­al­
ly to avoid mistakes.

6.8 Measurement limits

The upper and lower limits for measurement data can be defined. If a limit is either not reached or
exceed­ed (in other words, less than or greater than a specific value), a warning is displayed on
the screen and may be accompanied by an acoustic signal. The message “outside limits” also ap-
pears on the GLP printout.

7.4 ISM data

SevenCompact meter incorporates Intelligent Sensor Management (ISM®) technology. This inge­
nious functionality provides extra security, safety and eliminates mistakes. The most important fea­
tures are:
Extra security!
● After connecting the ISM® sensor, the sensor is automatically recognized and the sensor ID
and serial number are transferred from the sensor chip to the meter. The data is also printed
on the GLP printout.
● After calibration of the ISM® sensor, the calibration data is automatically stored from the meter
to the sensor chip. The most recent data is always stored where it should be – on the sensor
chip!
Extra safety!
After connecting the ISM® sensor, the five most recent calibrations are transferred to the meter.
These can be reviewed to see the development of the sensor over time. This information provides
an indication if the sensor should be cleaned or renewed.
Eliminate mistakes!
After connecting an ISM® sensor, the last set of calibration data is automatically used for mea­sure­
ments.
Additional features are described below.

36 Data management
Initial calibration data
When an ISM® sensor is connected, the initial calibration data in the sensor can be reviewed or
trans­ferred. The following data is included:
● Response time
● Temperature tolerance
● Membrane resistance
● Slope (at pH 7) and offset
● Type (and name) of electrode (for example, InLab Expert Pro ISM®)
● Serial number (SN) and ordering (ME) number
● Production date
Calibration history
The last 5 calibrations data stored in ISM® sensor including current calibration can be reviewed or
trans­ferred.
Maximum temperature
The maximum temperature that the ISM® sensor has been exposed to during measurement is mon­
i­tored automatically and can be reviewed for the evaluation of the electrode lifetime.
Reset ISM®
The calibration history in this menu can be deleted. This menu is protected by a deletion PIN. Upon
deliv­ery, the PIN for deletion is set to 000000. Change the PIN to prevent unauthorized access.

 8 Maintenance

8.1 Meter maintenance

Never unscrew the two halves of the housing!
The meters do not require any maintenance other than an occasional wipe with a damp cloth. The
hous­ing is made of acrylonitrile butadiene styrene/polycarbonate (ABS/PC). This material is sen­si­
tive to some organic solvents, such as toluene, xylene and methyl ethyl ketone (MEK).
Any spillage should be wiped off immediately.

8.2 Electrode maintenance

Make sure the pH electrode is always kept filled with the appropriate filling solution.
For maximum accuracy, any filling solution that may have “crept” and encrusted the outside of the
elec­trode should be removed with deionized water.
Always store the electrode according to the manufacturer’s instructions and do not allow it to dry
out.
If the electrode slope falls rapidly, or if the response becomes sluggish, the following procedures
may help. Try one of the following, depending on your sample.
Problem Action
Fat or oil build-up Degrease the membrane with cotton wool
soaked in either acetone or a soap solution.
pH sensor membrane has dried out Soak the tip of the electrode overnight in 0.1M
HCl
Protein build-up in the diaphragm of a pH sen­ Remove deposits by soaking the electrode in
sor an HCl/pepsin solution.
Silver sulfide contamination of pH sensor Remove deposits by soaking electrode in a
thiourea solution.
Run a new calibration after treatment.
Note
Cleaning and filling solutions should be handled with the same care as that given to toxic or cor­ro­
sive substances.
