pH value (all devices of the PCE-CP series)
6.50 ... 8.40 pH
Reagent: PCE-CP X0 Tab Phenol Red
The alkalinity value must be at least 50 mg/l to ensure a correct pH measurement.
1.
Clean the instrument as described in chapter 2 General information and, if desired or
necessary, perform the ZERO procedure as described in chapter 7.
2.
Navigate through the main menu until the parameter pH is displayed.
3.
Fill a 10 ml sample into the cuvette using the dispensing pipette.
