5. Arahan Operasi

This section outlines the basic procedures for taking measurements and calibrating your meter.

5.1. Prosedur Pengukuran Asas

1. Sediakan Probe: If the probe has been stored dry or in storage solution, rinse it thoroughly with deionized water.
2. Immerse the Probe: Carefully immerse the PHC201 Gel pH Probe into the sample solution, ensuring the sensing bulb and junction are fully submerged.
3. Stabilize Reading: Allow sufficient time for the reading on the meter's display to stabilize. The meter will typically indicate when the reading is stable.
4. Record Measurement: Once stable, record the pH and temperature readings displayed on the screen.
5. Rinse and Store: After measurement, rinse the probe with deionized water and return it to its storage solution or follow maintenance guidelines.

5.2. Prosedur Penentukuran

Regular calibration is crucial for accurate pH measurements. The HQ411d meter uses IntelliCAL smart probes, which store calibration data.

1. Prepare Buffer Solutions: Ensure buffer solutions (pH 4, 7, 10) are at the same temperature as your samples for best accuracy.
2. Access Calibration Menu: Navigate to the calibration menu on the HQ411d meter using the interface buttons.
3. First Buffer Point (pH 7): Rinse the probe with deionized water, then immerse it in the pH 7 buffer solution. Follow the on-screen prompts to accept the reading.
4. Second Buffer Point (pH 4 or pH 10): Rinse the probe again. Immerse it in either the pH 4 or pH 10 buffer solution, depending on your expected sample range. Follow prompts to accept.
5. Third Buffer Point (Optional): For wider range accuracy, rinse and immerse the probe in the remaining buffer solution (pH 4 or pH 10).
6. Penentukuran Lengkap: Confirm and save the calibration. The meter will display calibration results.

5.3. Pengurusan Data

The HQ411d meter features internal USB ports for data transfer. Consult the meter's on-screen menu or the full Hach user manual for specific instructions on logging data and transferring it to a computer.

6. Penyelenggaraan

Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and accuracy of your Hach HQ411d system.

• Probe Care and Storage: Always store the PHC201 Gel pH Probe in its designated storage solution when not in use. Never store the probe dry. Rinse the probe with deionized water before and after each use.
• Pembersihan Meter: Clean the exterior of the HQ411d meter with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents. Ensure no liquids enter the meter's ports.
• Buffer Solution Handling: Always use fresh buffer solutions for calibration. Do not reuse buffer solutions, as their pH can change over time due to contamination or CO2 absorption. Store buffer solutions according to their labels.
• Electrode Stand: Keep the electrode stand clean and free of chemical residues.
