1. Introduction

1.1 pH Cube Front Panel and Controls

Display

12.7mm LED display with mode enunciator.

Function Switch

Switches between pH, ORP/mV and Temperature modes. See section 2.

Calibrate Control

Used for pH asymmetry calibration in pH7.00 or pH6.86 buffer. See section

Slope Control

Used for pH slope calibration in a buffer that is at least 2 to 3 pH away from

pH7.00, eg. pH4.01, pH9.18 or pH10.01. See section 3.

Manual Temp Control

Used to manually set the temperature of the solution for pH temperature

compensation. Only active when temperature sensor is unplugged. See

section 5.3.

1.2 pH Cube Side Panel and Connectors

pH / mV Connector

Used to connect pH, ORP (Redox) and Specific Ion sensors.

Ref Connector

Used to connect Reference sensor when a mono pH, ORP (Redox) or

Specific Ion sensor is connected to the pH / mV Connector.

Temp Connector

Used to connect Temperature sensor. This sensor provides temperature

readout as well as Automatic Temperature Compensation for pH readings.

Temp Cal Control

Used for temperature calibration. See section 5.

12V DC Power Connector

Used to connect 12V AC/DC Adaptor. The pH Cube can run off any 12V

DC source with at least 200mA output. The 12V DC connector has a

positive tip.

3. pH Calibration

3.1 Calibration Procedure

1. Switch the pH Cube to pH mode (see section 2).

2. Plug the pH sensor into the Sensor socket and the temperature sensor into

the Temp socket.

3. Ensure that temperature has already been calibrated or manually set (see

sections 5.1 and 5.3).

4. Remove the wetting cap from the pH sensor.

5. Rinse the pH and Temperature sensors in distilled water and blot them dry.

6. Place both sensors into a small sample of primary buffer that is at or near

pH7 (eg. pH7.00 or pH6.86). The bulb and reference junction should both be

covered, as per the diagram below.

DO NOT place the sensors directly into the buffer bottle.

Page 8

7. When the reading has stabilised, adjust the Calibrate control until

the display shows the value of the buffer at the current temperature. For TPS

buffers, this is shown on the bottle. Refer also to the table in section 7.1.

8. Rinse the pH and Temperature sensors in distilled water and blot them dry.

9. Place both sensors into a small sample of secondary buffer (eg. pH4.01,

pH9.18 or pH10.01) so that the bulb and reference junction are both

covered, as per the diagram in step 6 above.

DO NOT place the sensor directly into the buffer bottle.

pH9.18 and pH10.01 buffers are unstable once the bottles have been

opened. Discard immediately after use.

When the reading has stabilised, adjust the Slope control until the display

shows the value of the buffer at the current temperature. For TPS buffers,

this is shown on the bottle. Refer also to the table in section 7.1.

10. The pH Cube is now calibrated and is ready for use.

Discard the used samples of buffer.

3.2 Calibration Notes

1. A 1-point calibration using the Calibrate control in a pH7.00 or pH6.86

buffer should be performed at least weekly. In applications where the sensor

junction can become blocked (eg. wines, dairy products, mining slurries etc) a

1-point calibration may have to be done daily.

2. A full 2-point calibration should be performed at least monthly. Of course,

more frequent calibration will result in greater confidence in results.

4. ORP/mV Calibration

The mV section is factory calibrated. There is no user-calibration facility for this

mode.

Page 9

5. Temperature Calibration

The temperature readout must be calibrated or manually set before attempting pH

calibration.

5.1 Calibration Procedure

1. Switch the pH Cube to Temperature mode (see section 2).

2. Plug the temperature sensor (Part No 121245) into the Temp socket.

3. Place the sensor alongside a good quality mercury thermometer into a

beaker of room temperature water. Stir the sensor and the thermometer

gently to ensure an even temperature throughout the beaker.

4. When the reading has stabilised, adjust the Temp Cal. control until the

display shows the same temperature as the mercury thermometer.

5. The Temperature function of the pH Cube is now calibrated and is ready for

use.

5.2 Calibration Notes

1. Temperature does not need to be recalibrated unless the Temperature sensor

is replaced.

5.3 Manual Temperature Setting

Manual temperature setting is only available if the temperature sensor is not

plugged in.

1. Switch the pH Cube on and select Temperature mode (see section 2).

2. Measure the temperature of the sample solution.

3. Adjust the Manual Temp control until the display shows the measured

temperature of the sample solution.

6. Troubleshooting

6.1 pH and ORP/mV Troubleshooting

Symptom

Possible Causes

Remedy

Meter displays

“-1. " as a

reading.

pH reading is over-ranged.

pH sensor not connected or

faulty. Replace sensor if

necessary.

Asymmetry

calibration with

Calibrate control

pH6.86 buffer fails.

(Asymmetry is

greater than +/-1.00

pH.)

1. Reference junction blocked.

(See section 7.3)

2. Reference electrolyte

contaminated.

Clean reference by immersing

the probe in hot water (60C)

for a few minutes. Proteins can

be cleaned off using a pepsin

solution.

Replace electrolyte if using a

refillable sensor.

Slope calibration

with Slope control

in low or high

buffer fails. (Slope

is less than 85.0%.)

1. Glass bulb not clean.

2. Sensor is aged.

3. Connector is damp.

4. Buffers are inaccurate.

Clean glass bulb as per

instructions supplied with the

sensor.

Attempt rejuvenation, as per

instructions supplied with the

sensor. If not successful,

replace sensor.

Dry in a warm place.

Replace buffers.

Inaccurate readings,

even when

calibration is

successful.

Reference junction blocked.

(See section 7.3)

Clean reference junction by

immersing the probe in hot

water (60C) for a few minutes.

Displays around

pH7.00 for all

solutions.

Electrical short in connector.

1. Check connector. Replace if

necessary.

2. Replace sensor.

Displays 4-5 pH for

all solutions.

Glass bulb or internal stem

cracked.

Replace sensor.
