201-C pH Electrode User Manual
Brief Introduction
Apera Instruments 201-C pH Electrode is featured with a proprietary lithium glass membrane for fast
and stable readings. The gel inner reference solution does not need to be refilled. This electrode is
designed for testing in general water solutions. The electrode may NOT work well in the following
situations:
1. Long-term testing in high temperature solutions (>122°F or 50°C)
2. Frequent testing in strong alkaline (>12 pH) or acid (<2 pH) solutions
3. Testing low ionic strength solutions like distilled or deionized water
4. Testing caustic solutions that will corrode the polycarbonate housing of the electrode

How to Install the Electrode
1. Find the BNC socket (where it shows pH ORP) on the pH meter; Open the rubber cap; Insert the
blue BNC connector of the electrode to the BNC socket while twisting clockwise until it’s locked.
2. After installing the new electrode to your meter, a 3-point calibration must be performed to ensure
the accuracy.
How to Use the Electrode
1. There is a proper amount of storage solution in the storage bottle on top of the electrode. The pH
glass sensor tip is soaked in it to keep its sensitivity.
2. Before measuring, loosen the bottle cap, then pull out the electrode while twisting
counterclockwise. Place the storage bottle at a safe position.
3. Rinse the electrode with purified water and shake off excess water or blot-dry it with clean tissue
or filter paper. Never rub the glass membrane.

Summary

Introduction to Apera 201-C pH Electrode

Apera 201-C pH Electrode Technical Specifications

Installing the 201-C pH Electrode

Connect BNC Connector

Insert and lock the electrode's BNC connector into the pH meter socket.

Perform Initial Calibration

Conduct a 3-point calibration after installation to ensure accuracy.

Using the 201-C pH Electrode

Prepare Electrode for Measurement

Loosen storage bottle cap, remove electrode, and place bottle safely.

Rinse and Dry Electrode

Rinse with purified water, blot dry, do not rub the glass membrane.

Maintaining the 201-C pH Electrode

Rinsing and Cleaning Contaminants

Rinse with purified water; use specific solutions for contaminants like metal oxides or resins.

Proper Storage

Keep glass bulb sensor submerged in KCL storage solution; avoid pure water storage.

Connector Care

Keep connector clean and dry using isopropyl alcohol to prevent short circuits.

Electrode Lifespan and Replacement

Electrodes age; replace if response slows or slope is below 90%, typically 1-2 years.
