Hanna Instruments Edge HI 2020 - Basic vs Standard pH Mode Comparison

Operational Guide

Basic vs
Standard
pH Mode
For optimum pH measurements, follow these steps:
1. Understand the benets and features of Standard and Basic Operation.
2. Set up edge® meter by conguring preferences.
3. Calibration
4. Measurement
The “Standard” pH operation includes up to a 5-point buer calibration, use
of custom buers, choice of displaying 0.001 pH resolution, use of the full
diagnostic features of Calibration Check™ (that includes buers used, probe
condition, response time and messages indicating a contaminated buer or pH
sensor requiring maintenance during calibration). Additional Sensor Check™
indicators are available if using HI 11311 or HI 12301 pH electrodes. These
include a continuous diagnostic to detect if the electrode is broken and at the
time of calibration, a diagnostic to indicate the reference junction has been
compromised or fouled by sample contamination. The Standard pH operation
also includes full logging capability including Interval, Manual log on demand
and Manual log on stability.
“Basic” pH operation provides a simplied SETUP menu; there are no decisions
to make regarding the pH measurement itself. The meter will display 0.01 pH
resolution and permit a 3-point buer calibration from the following pH buers;
4.01, 6.86, 7.01, 9.18 or 10.01. Calibration Check™ and Sensor Check™ features
are limited to messages during calibration. Calibration reminders are also not
available. The GLP will still provide oset, slope, buers used and a calibration
date. The Basic pH operation includes Manual log on demand and Manual log on
stability (medium setting).
Note
: When changing from Standard to Basic operation in SETUP, previous
calibration data will be cleared. A prompt will force the user to facilitate this.
