1. INTRODUCTION

Thank you for purchasing our PC 700 series benchtop meter.

This microprocessor-based meter is economical and simple to

use. The design incorporates a large LCD for clear viewing, yet

offers a small footprint to conserve space.

The PC 700 measures pH, mV (ORP), conductivity, or TDS

simultaneously with temperature (ºC or ºF).

Each meter includes a convenient slide-out card for quick

reference. Also included is an electrode arm and metal bracket

which can be easily attached to the left or right side of the meter

according to your preference.

The PC 700 benchtop meter replaces our popular pH/CON 510

series meter that was introduced in 2000.

We take great pride in every instrument we manufacture

and hope this one serves you well.

2. GETTING STARTED

2.1 Keypad Functions

Powers the meter on and off. Upon power on, the meter

automatically begins in the mode that was last used.

Calibration and memory values are retained even if meter

is unplugged.

Toggle between available measurement modes—

pH/Temp, mV/Temp, Conductivity/Temp, or TDS/Temp.

Also used to switch to Temperature calibration during pH,

mV, Conductivity or TDS calibration modes.

Press and hold for 5 seconds to enter SETUP mode.

Toggles between measurement and calibration modes.

In SETUP mode, returns user to the measurement mode.

Confirms calibration values in CAL mode.

Confirms selections in SETUP mode.

Changes Con/TDS range and resolution in MEAS mode.

View recalled values in memory mode.

MI (Memory Insert) stores values into memory.

SIncrease value. Scroll up in SETUP & CAL modes.

MR (Memory Recall) recalls values from memory

TDecrease value. Scroll down in SETUP & CAL modes.

Freezes measured reading. Press again to resume

live reading.

2.2 LCD Annunciators

2.3 Meter Connections

DC Power supply

CON/

TEMP 8-pin DIN connection for 2-cell Con/TDS/Temp electrode

pH BNC connection for pH, or ORP (Redox) electrode

3. CONDUCTIVITY ELECTRODE

The PC 700 includes an electrode with a nominal cell constant of k

= 1.0, built-in temperature sensor, and 1 meter cable. The Ultem

body housing has good chemical resistant properties. The

electrode design offers fast temperature response and reduces air

entrapment, ensuring accurate, repeatable, and stable readings.

The wetted materials of the probe include:

•Polyetherimide (Ultem) – protective probe guard

•Polybutylterphalate (Valox) – sensor housing

•Stainless Steel (SS 304) – 2 bands

The protective probe guard can be removed temporarily for

cleaning however it must be re-attached during measurement and

calibration. Erroneous results will occur while the probe guard

is removed.

Always immerse the probe beyond upper steel band for best

results. Use the fill line on the outside of the probe guard for

reference.

4. PH AND MV CALIBRATION

4.1 pH Calibration

For best results, periodic calibration with known accurate standards i

recommended. Calibrate with standards that bracket your intended

measuring range while including a neutral standard (pH 7.00 or 6.86).

For example, if you expect to measure samples from

The PC 700 meter can be calibrated with up to 5 buffers. The

4.2 Millivolt (mV) Offset Adjustment

Oxidization Reduction Potential (ORP or Redox) is not a precise

measurement, but is useful as a relative indicator. As such, mV offset

adjustment is not meant to enhance accuracy, but rather to make

readings comparable to a reference. Commercial ORP solutions are

often used as a check standard in which a meter/electrode system are

verified to be close to a given value, instead of being used as a

calibration standard in which adjustments are made in an attempt to

match the ORP value.

1) Connect an ORP electrode and press as needed to select mV

(or R.mV).

2) Dip the ORP electrode into a solution with a known mV value

(i.e. Zobel, Light’s, quinhydrone, or iodidetriiodide) and stir.

3) Press when the reading is stable. The primary display shows

the relative millivolt value (R.mV) while the secondary display shows

the factory default mV value.

4) Adjust the R.mV value using or . Press to accept or

to cancel. The meter allows an adjustable maximum value of ±

150 mV from the factory default mV value.

Note: When an offset has been stored successfully, R.mV replaces

mV.

5. CONDUCTIVITY AND TDS CALIBRATION

5.1 Automatic or Manual Calibration

The PC 700 is capable of automatic or manual calibration for

conductivity, and manual calibration for TDS.

In the automatic calibration mode, the meter will automatically select

one of (4) conductivity calibration standard values depending on the

range and normalization temperature being used (TABLE 1).
