Detailed description
CPI-502 measures pH, redox potential (mV), ion concentration and temperature. Enables simultaneous ion selective measurement of chosen ion, pH or mV and temperature. The chosen measuring function may be viewed by pressing an appropriate button. The most recent model has been improved with more possibilities providing easier operation.Characteristic features:
- Highly accurate measurement in each function.
- Easy parameter setting.
- The meter is equipped with a built-in 60 mm thermal printer.
- Standardised procedures for pH and ion selective measurement facilitate working.
- “HOLD” function to freeze the result on the display.
- Signalisation of the result stabilisation with the “READY” symbol and a sound.
- Possibility of sending a calibration report to a PC - up to 10 last calibrations.
In the pH measuring function:
- Calibration of the pH electrode: 1 ÷ 5 points.
- Automatic detection of pH buffer values entered by the user.
- When NIST pH standards are used, their stored values are automatically corrected for temperature, so there is no need to heat or cool the solutions.
- Storing calibration parameters of 3 electrodes enables their quick replacement.
- Possibility to view the electrode's characteristics.
- Depending on the electrode used, measurements in pure water, sewage, pastes, etc. are possible.
- Isolated connectors for the pH and ion selective electrodes enable their simultaneous connection and measurements in one vessel.
- Automatic evaluation of the electrode condition.
- Readout of the pH electrode condition and data – the zero offset and slope percentage may be checked.
In the ion selective measuring function:
- Enables ion concentration measurements of monovalent, bivalent, negative and positive ions.
- The measuring range enables work with all available ion selective electrodes (ISE), chosen adequately to the kind of measured ion, equipped with BNC-50 connector.
- The meter has separate BNC connectors for the pH electrode and the ion selective (or redox) electrode, and a banana connector for the reference electrode.
- The meter automatically introduces the molar weight and valence of a particular ion.
- The user may choose the unit: pX, g/l, M/l, ppm.
- Automatic unit conversion (e.g. mol/l to mg/l).
- Possibility of entering freely chosen values of ion standard solutions.
In the redox (mV) measuring function:
- Precise redox potential measurement (accuracy 0.1 mV).
- Possibility to measure redox potential relatively to the entered or measured reference potential – Vref.
Other features:
- Automatic or manual temperature compensation.
- Clock with date.
- Internal datalogger for up to 4000 sets of results collected singly or in series with temperature, time and date.
- The readings and calibration data are stored in non-volatile memory.
- Storing of the next calibration date.
- Possibility to connect the meter with a PC by USB output.
- Possibility of protecting the date and time against changes by an unauthorised person using a password.
- The data transmission software enables printout of the data in a form protected against any changes.
- The meter meets the GLP requirements.
- 24 months of warranty for the meter.
- Pendrive with software for data transmission and collection and user's manual in English included in the set.
The standard set includes: CT2B-121 temperature sensor with Pt-1000B resistor and EPS-1 pH electrode for measurements in clean water, which should not be used in other types of liquids. Measurements in liquids with sediments should be made with use of IJ44A pH electrode, which enables measurements in various samples of both pure and contaminated liquids and semi-solids. Its unusual construction (“intermediate junction”) protects the real junction (diaphragm) of the electrode against clogging, ensures stable measurements in these types of liquids or semi-liquid masses, in which other electrodes stop working quickly. When properly handled and maintained the electrode may be efficient for several years. The ISE electrodes are chosen individually.
In comparison with the CPI-505 meter, the CPI-502 model is equipped with a smaller display.
