Basic Operation
System setup
Inserting and replacing the batteries
The control unit is shipped without batteries. Follow the steps below to insert the batteries when using the system for the first time or replacing old batteries. 1. Loosen the 4 screws on the battery cover by using No. 2 Phillips head screwdriver and remove the cover.
Battery cover

Batteries

2. If replacing the batteries, discard the old batteries. 3. Insert new batteries in the control unit. Check that the battery gasket is not dirty or twisted.

+ side

4. Replace the battery cover and fasten it with the 4 screws. Tighten the screws to less than 0.5 Nm.

3 Basic Operation

Note
Data and settings will not be lost when the batteries are replaced. If dirty or twisted, the battery gasket will fail to keep the batteries dry. Check its condition before

closing the cover.

To ensure long service life, replacing the battery gasket periodically (once a year) is

recommended. Precautions when using dry cell batteries Batteries to use: LR14 alkaline dry cell batteries (C-size dry cell batteries) or rechargeable nickelmetal hydride dry cell batteries (C-size) Do not use manganese batteries. Dry cell batteries used incorrectly may leak or burst. Always observe the following - Orient the batteries correctly (positive and negative ends in correct positions). - Do not combine new and used batteries, or batteries of different types. - Remove the batteries when not using the system for a prolonged period. - If batteries leak, have the system inspected at your nearest Horiba service station.

Battery life The battery life for continuous operation when using C-size alkaline dry cell batteries is about 70 hours. Using the backlight consumes a proportionate amount of battery power, shortening battery life. Searching position information using the GPS unit consumes a proportionate amount of battery power, shortening battery life. Nickel-metal hydride secondary batteries can be used, but the battery life is not guaranteed since it will vary according to usage (number of times data is saved, number of charges and amount of each charge). In general, secondary batteries have one-half to one-third the life of C-size alkaline batteries. The 70-hour battery life figure applies to a control unit operating temperature of 20C or more. The battery characteristics shorten the battery life at operating temperatures lower than 20C, so check the remaining battery level, and replace the batteries before it reaches Level 1. The batteries packed with the system at the time of shipment are for checking operation. Their life is not guaranteed. The 70-hour battery life figure is the amount of operating time the batteries can provide until the system stops operating. The system may fail during operation if the remaining battery level is low, so it is a good idea to check the remaining battery level and replace the batteries with new ones well before the batteries run out completely. U-51/52 Battery life: 70 hours (backlight off) U-53 Battery life: 500 measurements (backlight off) Since U-53 is designed for turbidity measurement with wiper, its battery life is estimated in terms of the number of turbidity measurement sequences performed. Battery power is also consumed by measurement operations other than turbidity measurement. The battery life when turbidity measurement is not performed is about 70 hours.

Replacing the coin battery

Coin battery to use: CR-2032 The coin battery is only for the clock. It will provide problem-free operation for three years, but when using the clock continuously, it should be replaced every two years as a precaution. When replacing the coin battery for the clock, leave the control unit ON. If the coin battery is replaced when the control unit is turned OFF, the clock will be reset to the default settings.

Calibration
To obtain correct measurement values, the sensors need to be calibrated using standard solution before measurement. You can select simultaneous auto calibration of the pH, COND and TURB sensors in pH4 standard solution and DO and DEP sensors simultaneously in air, or manual calibration of individual measurement parameters. You can check the result of the previous calibration using the procedure on 3.5.4 Checking the calibration record (page 70).

Note
Wait at least 20 minutes after turning the system power ON before calibrating the DO sensor. Make the DO and COND compensation settings before calibration since these settings are

applied during calibration.

You can select only the desired parameters for calibration and calibrate just those parameters

(see 3.2.4 Sensor selection (page 25)).

Use about 200 mL of standard solution in the calibration cup. Calibration data is stored in the sensor probe.

3.3.1

Auto calibration
Tip
The following parameters are calibrated (at 25C):

pH: Set to 4.01 (zero-point calibration); the span is adjusted to the factory default value. COND: 0.449 S/m (4.49 mS/cm, span calibration); the zero point is adjusted to the factory default value. TURB: 0 NTU (zero-point calibration); the span is adjusted to the factory default value. DO: 8.92 mg/L (span calibration); the zero point is adjusted to the factory default value. DEP: 0 m (zero-point calibration); the zero point is adjusted to the factory default value. If the air temperature changes, the readout value may not be stable. Ensure that the ambient air temperature is the same temperature as the calibration solution, because the internal probe temperature sensor and external temperature sensor (in the calibration solution) are used for the auto calibration. Allow the probe and standard solution to equilibrate for 1 hour if a thermometer is not available to verify that these temperatures are the same. Do not hold the probe while performing the auto calibration. Body temperature may elevate the internal temperature sensor measurement creating DO calibration error.

1. Remove the sensor guard and wash the sensor probe 2 or 3 times with deionized water.

ORP calibration Note

If the prepared ORP standard solution is left in open air for one hour or more, the solution may be

transformed. For this reason ORP standard solution cannot be stored. Calibrate within one hour of preparing the solution. When measuring sample with low concentrations of oxidants and reductants after conducting an operational check using a standard substance, the measured values may not stabilize or the results of measurement might not be repeatable. If this is the case, start the measurement after immersing the sensors in the sample water sufficiently. Note that when measuring the ORP of solution with extremely low concentrations of oxidants and reductants, such as tap water, well water, or water treated with purifying equipment, there may be less responsiveness, repeatability, and stability, in general. When alkaline ion water is left for 5 minutes, its ORP undergoes changes significantly. Always measure alkaline ion water promptly.

1. Fill a clean beaker with one bag of ORP standard powder No. 160-22 or No. 160-51. Add 250 mL of deionized water and agitate the solution thoroughly (there will be some excess quinhydrone (a black powder) that floats on the surface when agitating the solution). Fill the transparent calibration cup to the reference line with this standard solution. 2. Wash the sensor probe 2 or 3 times in deionized water to remove any dirt, then submerge the sensor probe in the transparent calibration cup. 3. Press the control units CAL key to set the calibration mode. 4. Press the down () key to move the cursor to "Manual Calibration", then press the ENTER key.

Conductivity (COND) calibration Note

To support a wide range of sample concentrations, electrical conductivity is divided into three

measurement ranges: 0.0 mS/m to 99.9 mS/m, 0.090 S/m to 0.999 S/m, and 0.9 S/m to 9.99 S/m.
When manually calibrating conductivity, you can select two calibration points (one zero-point

calibration point and a span calibration point for one of the three measurement ranges) or four calibration points (one zero-point calibration point and span calibration points for all three measurement ranges). Carry out the four calibration points to ensure good measurement precision throughout all measurement ranges. Make the compensation setting before calibration since this setting is applied during calibration. (Refer to 6.5.3 Temperature coefficient (page 104)).

Turbidity (TURB) calibration Note

To support a wide range of sample concentrations, turbidity is divided into three measurement

ranges: 0.0 to 9.9 NTU, 10 to 100 NTU, and over 100 NTU.
When manually calibrating turbidity, you can select two calibration procedures (one zero-point

calibration procedure and a span calibration procedure for one of the three measurement ranges), three calibration procedures (one zero-point calibration procedure and a span calibration procedure for two of the three measurement ranges) or four calibration procedures (one zero-point calibration procedure and span calibration procedures for all three measurement ranges). Carry out the four calibration procedures to ensure good measurement precision throughout all measurement ranges. Always use the calibration cup provided. Using other containers can create effects from ambient light that cause incorrect calibration.

Preparing the standard solutions 1. Weigh out 5.0 g of hydrazine sulfate (commercial special grade or above), and dissolve it in 400 mL of deionized water. Dissolve 50 g of hexamethylene tetramine (commercial special grade or above) in 400 mL of deionized water in anther flask. 2. Mix the two solutions and add deionized water until the total solution volume is 1000 mL, and mix well. Store this solution at a temperature of 25C 3C for 48 hours. The turbidity value (TURB) of this solution is equivalent to 4000 NTU. 3. Dilute 4000 NTU-solution 5 times (use a pipette to measure 50 mL of the 4000 NTU solution and pour it into a 250 mL measuring flask, and fill up to 250 mL meniscus) The turbidity value (TURB) of this solution is equivalent to 800 NTU. 4. Dilute 800 NTU solution 10 times (use a pipette to measure 25 mL of the 800 NTU solution and pour it into a 250 mL measuring flask, and fill up to 250 mL meniscus) The turbidity value (TURB) of this solution is equivalent to 80 NTU. 5. Dilute 80 NTU solution 10 times (use a pipette to measure 25 mL of the 80 NTU solution and pour it into a 250 mL measuring flask, and fill up to 250 mL meniscus) The turbidity value (TURB) of this solution is equivalent to 8 NTU. Note
Instead of the standard solutions above, you can use other standard solutions of known concentration measured with other standard instruments.

Dissolved oxygen (DO) calibration Note

You can select one calibration procedure (span calibration) or two calibration procedures (zero-

point calibration and span calibration). Carry out the two calibration procedures to ensure good measurement precision throughout all measurement ranges. It is necessary to prepare new solution before calibration of the Dissolved Oxygen (DO) sensor. The calibration cup (included) cannot be used to manually calibrate the DO sensor.Use a suitable bottle in which the DO sensor and the temperature sensor can be immersed. Wait at least 20 minutes after turning the system power ON before calibrating the DO sensor. Make the compensation setting before calibration since the setting is applied during calibration. The DO sensor is affected by flow. When performing span calibration with saturated dissolved oxygen water, move the cable slowly up and down (move the sensor probe at a rate of roughly 20 to 30 cm a second) or agitate the saturated dissolved oxygen water.

1. Prepare the standard solution. Add about 50 g of sodium sulfite to 1000 mL of water (either deionized water or tap water) and stir the mixture to dissolve the sodium sulfite in it. Pour 1 to 2 liters of water into a suitable flask (either deionized water or tap water). Using a air pump, feed air into the water and aerate the solution until oxygen is saturated. 2. First, calibrate the zero point. Press the control units CAL key to set the calibration mode. 3. Press the down () key to move the cursor to "Manual Calibration", then press the ENTER key.

USB communication
The separately-sold, dedicated PC connection cable comes with data collection software. This software allows data to be downloaded from the control unit in CSV format. This section contains instructions for communication commands used for USB communication.

Connecting the cable

USB connector

Communication cable

Dedicated cable Part name: Communication cable (with data collection software) Part no.: 3200174823 Cautions when using USB communication Take care to observe the following when using USB communication. Use the dedicated cable (with data collection software) or a commercially-available USB cable (A-B type) to connect to a PC. Be sure to match the transmission format on the control unit and the computer. The control unit uses the following transmission format:
Baud rate: Number of stop bits: Data bit length: Parity: Flow control: 19200 bps 1 bit 8 bits None None

Tip
If the transmission formats do not match, a communication error occurs and USB communication will not function normally. After changing the transmission format, restart the control unit and the computer.

If received data is not sent back or an error occurs after a data request has been sent, adjust the program configuration so that it allows a little waiting time before a data request is sent again. This will enable more stable communication. The unit does not use DCD, CTS, or DSR signals. Take care of this when creating programs.

pH measurement
Principle of pH measurement
U-50 series use the glass electrode method for pH measurements. The glass electrode method measures a potential difference between the glass film for pH and the reference electrode. For more information, refer to JIS Z 8802 pH measurement method.

6.3.2

Temperature compensation
The electromotive force generated by the glass electrode changes depending on the temperature of the solution. Temperature compensation is used to compensate for the change in electromotive force caused by temperature. This function does not compensate the change in pH caused by the temperature of the solution. When pH is to be measured, the temperature of the solution must be recorded along with that pH value, even if a pH meter has automatic temperature compensation function. If the solution temperature is not recorded, the results of the pH measurement may be meaningless.

6.3.3

Standard solutions
When measuring pH, the pH meter must be calibrated using standard solution. There are five kinds of standard solutions specified in JIS Z 8802 pH measurement. For normal measurement, two of standard solutions with pH of 4, 7, and 9 are sufficient to accurately calibrate the meter. For standard solutions, refer to JIS Z 8802 pH measurement. pH 4 standard solution: (Phthalate) pH 7 standard solutio: (Neutral phosphate) pH 9 standard solution: (Borate) 0.05 mol/L potassium hydrogen phthalate aqueous solution 0.025 mol/L potassium dihydrogenphosphate, 0.025 mol/L disodium hydrogenphosphate aqueous solution 0.01 mol/L sodium tetraborate aqueous solution

DO measurement
Principle of DO measurement
Dissolved oxygen (DO) refers to the amount of oxygen that is contained in water. The concentration of dissolved oxygen is generally given as mg/L or as a percentage value (the dissolved oxygen saturation ratio). Dissolved oxygen is essential for maintaining the self-purifying ability of rivers and seas and also for fish to live. The concentration of dissolved oxygen acts as an indicator of water quality. It is often measured when processing waste water and managing water quality. Fig. 1 provides an overview of the principles behind dissolved oxygen sensor measurement.

Fig. 1 Overview of principles behind dissolved oxygen sensor The polarographic oxygen sensor is an enclosed sensor wherein voltage is applied to a cathode made of a precious metal (such as gold or platinum) and an anode also made of a precious metal (such as silver) via an external circuit, and a cap with an oxygen permeable diaphragm (membrane) is filled with electrolyte solution. As indicated in Fig. 1, the concentration of dissolved oxygen can be measured by measuring the current proportional to the amount of reduced oxygen when oxygen that has dispersed through the oxygen permeable diaphragm produces a reductive reaction on the surface of the active electrode (gold). The method of measuring dissolved oxygen based on the above principle is called the Membrane Electrode Method. Compared to the Chemical Analysis Method, which requires complicated pre-processing to alleviate the effect of reduced materials and oxidizing materials, this method allows dissolved oxygen to be measured very easily. It is also easy to remove undesired buildup from the silver electrode by polishing and cleaning if an insulator forms on it due to oxidation, making the method reusable.

Salinity calibration
When the solution and air come into contact and form an equilibrium (i.e. saturation), the relationship between the concentration of dissolved oxygen in the solution, C, [mol/L], and the partial pressure of oxygen in the air, Ps, [MPa/(mg/L)], can be represented by the following formula: C = Ps/H Where H [MPa/(mg/L)] is the Henry constant, a value that changes according to the composition of the solution. As H typically becomes larger as the salinity of the water increases, C becomes smaller. The DO sensor detects the partial pressure of oxygen (Ps) in the above formula. Accordingly, if the DO sensor is immersed in deionized water saturated with air, or in an aqueous solution containing salt, the output current does not change, resulting in an erroneous measurement. For example, when salt is added to a sample, the amount of oxygen that can be dissolved in the solution decreases, but because the partial pressure of oxygen does not change, the value displayed by the control unit stays the same regardless of salt content. This concept is indicated in graph form below. (Fig. 2)
Values indicated by DO sensor Concentration of DO (mg/L)

Actual concentration of DO in sample

Concentration of Chlorine Ions (mg/L)

Fig. 2 Relationship between chlorine ion concentration and dissolved oxygen concentration In samples with a high salt concentration, the solubility of oxygen is lower, but as the partial pressure of oxygen does not change, the value actually indicated on the control unit is higher than the actual value. In order to obtain a measurement of the concentration of dissolved oxygen in an aqueous solution that contains salt, it is therefore necessary to first perform salinity compensation. Conventionally, dissolved oxygen sensors have performed salinity compensation by inputting the salinity of the sample. This is fine as long as the salinity is already known. However, in most cases salinity is unknown, so even if dissolved oxygen sensors contained a salinity compensation function, it was of no practical use. The U-50 Series can calculate and measure salinity in samples from electrical conductivity values, and can thus be used to automatically compensate for salinity.

Conductivity (COND) measurement

Four-AC-electrode method
Conductivity is an index of the flow of electrical current in a substance. Salts dissolved in water are separated into cations and anions. Such solution is called electrolytic solution. Electrolytic solution has the property of allowing the flow of current according to Ohms law. This property is referred to as ionic conductivity, since current flow is caused by ion movement in electrolytic solution. Metals, on the other hand, allow the flow of current by means of electrons. This property is called electronic conductivity, which is distinguished from ionic conductivity. A cube with 1 m on each side, as shown in Fig. 3, is used to demonstrate an electrolytic solution. Two electrode plates are placed on opposite sides, and the cube is filled with solution. If the resistance between these two electrode plates is represented by r(), the conductivity of the solution L(Sm-1) is represented as L=1/r. S stands for Siemens, a unit of measurement of conductance.

1m 1m Electrode plate 1m Solution

Fig. 3 Definition of conductivity The most general method for measuring conductivity is based on the above principle, and is called the 2-electrode method. In the 2-electrode method the influence of polarization cannot be ignored for solutions with high conductivity and conductivity cannot be measure accurately. In addition, contamination on the surface of the electrode increases apparent resistance, resulting in inaccurate measurement of conductivity. The U-50 series has adopted the 4-electrode method to overcome these disadvantages of the the 2-electrode method. As shown in Fig. 4, the U-50 series uses two voltage-detecting electrodes and two voltageapplying electrodes, for a total of four electrodes. The voltage-detecting electrodes are for detecting AC voltage, and the voltage-applying electrodes are for applying AC voltage.

Voltage-applying electrodes

Voltage-detecting electrodes

Fig. 4 Principle of the 4-electrode method

6 Reference

Let us assume that the current, I(A), flows in a sample of conductivity L under automatic control of the voltage-applying electrodes so that the voltage at the voltage-detectingelectrodes, E(V), remains constant at all times. Then, the resistance of the sample, R(), across the voltage-detecting electrodes is represented as R=E/I. The resistance, R, of the sample is inversely proportional to its conductivity, L. Accordingly, a measurement of current, Is, of a standard solution of known conductivity, Ls, enables calculation of conductivity of a sample according to the formula L = Ls (I/Is) from the ratio L : Ls = I : Is. Even in the 4-electrode method, polarization occurs, since AC current flows in the voltageapplying electrodes. The voltage-detecting electrodes are, however, free from the effects of polarization, since they are separated from the voltage-applying electrodes, and furthermore, current flow is negligible. Therefore, the 4-electrode method is an excellent method to enable measurement of conductivity covering a very high range.

SI units
New measurement units, called SI units, have been in use from 1996. Accordingly, the U-50 series also uses SI units. The following conversion table is provided for people who use the conventional kind of conductivity meter. Note that along with the change in unit systems, the measurement values and cell counts have also changed.

6.5.3

Temperature coefficient
In general, the conductivity of a solution varies largely with its temperature. The conductivity of a solution depends on the ionic conductivity, described earlier. As the temperature rises, conductivity becomes higher since the movement of the ions becomes more active. The temperature coefficient shows the change in % of conductivity per C, with a certain temperature taken as the reference temperature. This is expressed in units of %/C. The temperature coefficient assumes the premise that the conductivity of a sample changes linearly according to temperature. Strictly speaking, with actual samples, however, conductivity changes along a curve. Furthermore, the cuve varies with the type of sample. In the ranges of smaller temperature changes, however, samples are said to have the temperature coefficient of 2%/C (at reference temperature 25C); this holds for most samples, except in certain special cases. (The temperature coefficients for various types of solutions are listed on the next page.) The U-50 series uses an automatic temperature conversion function to calculate conductivity at 25C at a temperature coefficient of 2 %/C based on the measured value of the temperature. Results are displayed on the readout. The U-50 seriess temperature conversion function is based on the following formula. L25 = Lt / { 1 +K (t - 25) } L25 : Conductivity of solution converted to 25C t : Temperature of solution at time of measurement (C) Lt : Conductivity of solution at t (C) K : Temperature coefficient (%/C)

Salinity (SAL) conversion

The U-50 series is designed to calculate salinity as well as the other parameters. Note that the salinity here is the salinity of sea water. There is a constant relation between conductivity and salinity at certain temperatures. Therefore, if data on the conductivity and temperature are available, the corresponding salinity can be known. In other words, the salinity measurement of the U-50 series is based on the principle of calculating the salt content, making use of the measured values of conductivity and temperature. Note therefore, that measured results of all substances whose conductivity is detected are displayed as salinity. For example, the measured result is displayed as NaCl concentration, even if in fact the sample component is, hydrochloric acid (HCl).

6.7

TDS conversion
TDS is short for Total Dissolved Solids and means the total dissolved solid amount. The conductivity of a solution is affected by the amount of salinity, minerals, and dissolved gases. That is, conductivity is an index that shows the total amount of all substances in the solution. Of these substances, TDS indicates only the amount of dissolved solids. TDS can be used for a comparison of the state of substances composed of a single component such as NaCl. However, the use of TDS for the comparison of solutions of different types causes serious errors. Conductivity and TDS are expressed by the following formulas. Conductivity in SI units (S/m) ....................... TDS(g/L) = L (S/m) K 10 TDS(g/L) = L (mS/m) K 100 Conductivity in the old units (mS/cm) .......... TDS(g/L) = L (mS/cm) K K = TDS coefficient Initial settings use the values listed in the table (Page 80) that generally uses TDS coefficients. For accurate TDS comparisons, find the TDS coefficient from measured conductivity values. Then set the value thus obtained and make measurements.

t conversion
Specific gravity of seawater The density and specific gravity of seawater are equal numerically and generally are not distinguished strictly. Since seawater density is between 1.000 and 1.031, 1 is subtracted from and is obtained by multiplying the value by 1000. The resultant value is used as the specific gravity of seawater. = ( - 1) 1000 The density of seawater is expressed by function of temperature, hydraulic pressure, and salinity. The density of seawater under the atmospheric pressure is expressed as t. The density of seawater under the atmospheric pressure is determined by temperature and salinity. The U-50 Series models make salinity measurement through temperature measurements and conductivity conversion and find t through calculations. In Japan 15 at 15C is called a standard specific gravity and widely used while in foreign countries 0 at 0C is employed. 15 and 0 are determined by the function of salinity. In ocean surveys, in particular, these values t, 15, and 0 are more widely used than conductivity and salinity and, in the U-50 Series models, newly added as measurement components.

Turbidity (TURB) measurement

Principle of turbidity measurement
U-52 and U-53 sensors measure turbidity using the Transmitting and Scattering Method shown in Fig. 5. U-52 sensors use a pulse light LED (infra-red emitting diode) as a light source, and detect scattered light from a 30 angle off center. U-53 sensors use a tungsten lamp as a light source and detect scattered light from a 90 angle. Both models display turbidity as a ratio of scattered light to transmitted light to reduce the affect of the color of the sample. The U-53 method conforms to EPA Method 180.1, and employs wipers to reduce the affect of air bubbles.

Standard solution
U-50 series can perform calibration using formazin (NTU) or kaolin standard solutions as a turbidity standard solution. However, units for the solution used for calibration should be displayed in measurements. Do not use more than 400 mg/L of kaolin standard solution because it increases precipitation speed, resulting in measurement error.

Depth (DEPTH) measurement

For the W-22XD and W-23XD models, depth measurement can be made through use of a pressure gauge. The principle of the depth measurement uses the relation between depth and pressure. Although the measurement with the depth sensor is affected by atmospheric pressure, the depth sensor, however, makes zero-point adjustments through the automatic calibration before measurements.

6.10.1 Principle of depth measurement

6.10.2 Influence of temperature and calibration

The depth sensor depends greatly on temperature. For a wide difference between the temperature at which the sensor has been automatically calibrated and the temperature of the measurement sample, the sensor can make depth measurements with a higher accuracy by the following method: 1. Immerse the depth sensor of the sensor probe in the sample. 2. Keep the sensor immersed in the sample for about 30 minutes until the temperatures of the sensor and the sample are the same. 3. Then make the zero calibration of the sensor manually.

Oxidation reduction potential (ORP) measurement

ORP is an abbreviation for oxidation-reduction potential. ORP is the energy level (potential) determined according to the state of equilibrium between the oxidants (MZ+) and reductants M(Z N)+ that coexist within a solution. MZ++ ne M(Z N)+ (1) If only the solution, forming the ORP measuring system shown in Fig. 6. The difference of potential between two electrodes is generally expressed by the following equation. aM(z-n)+ E = E0 RT ln nF aMz+ (2)

Fig. 6 Measuring mV For example, for a solution in which trivalent iron ions coexist with bivalent iron ions, equations 1 and 2 would be as follows. Fe3+ + e Fe2+ (1) aFe2+ E = E0 RT ln F aFe3+ (2)

When only one type of state of equilibrium uniquely by equation ( Fe3+) and the reductant (Fe2+) (using the equation aFe2+/ aFe3+). Actually, however many kinds of states of equilibrium exist simultaneously between various kinds of ions, in most solutions. This means that under actual circumstances, ORP cannot be expressed using the simple equation shown above and that the physical and chemical significance with respect to the solution is not very clear. In this respect, the value of ORP must be understood to be only one indicator of the property of a solution. The measurement of ORP is widely used, however, as an important index in the analysis of solutions (potentiometric titration) and in the waste water treatment.

6.11.2 Standard electrode (reference electrode) types and ORP

The ORP is obtained comparing with corresponding reference electrode employed. If different kinds of reference electrodes are used for measurement, the ORP value of the same solution may appear to be different. HORIBAs reference electrode uses Ag/AgCl with 3.33 mol/L KCl as inner solution. According to general technical literature, normal hydrogen electrodes (N.H.E.) are often used as the standard electrode. The relationship between N.H.E. and the ORP that is measured using an Ag/AgCl with 3.33 mol/L KCl electrode is expressed by the following equation. EN.H.E.= E + 206 0.7(t 25) mV t = 0 - 60C EN.H.E. : Measured ORP value using N.H.E. as the reference electrode

E: Measured ORP value using Ag/AgCl with 3.33 mol/L KCl as the reference electrode Potential sign Standard ORP is expressed in the following way, in literature related to electrochemistry and analytical chemistry. A Li+ + e Li E0 = 3.024 V VS N.H.E. Li Li+ + e E0 = +3.024 V VS N.H.E.

However, in some literature, the "+" and "-" signs are reversed. B

In expressions like B, above, the reaction is just reversed and there is no essential difference. But this kind of expression does invite confusion. The majority of the world, today, is consistent in its use of the signs as they are used in A, above. For this reason, HORIBA, too, uses signs concerning ORP that are consistent with A, above.
