4.1 Calibração

Regular calibration is essential for accurate pH measurements. The WTW pH 3310 supports up to 5-point calibration using DIN, NIST, or USA buffer recognition.

1. Prepare fresh calibration buffer solutions (e.g., pH 4.01, 7.00, 10.00).
2. Pressione o CAL botão para entrar no modo de calibração.
3. Rinse the electrode with distilled water and immerse it in the first buffer solution.
4. Aguarde até que a leitura se estabilize e, em seguida, confirme o ponto de calibração conforme indicado pelo medidor.
5. Repeat for subsequent buffer solutions.
6. The meter will automatically recognize the buffer and store the calibration data.

4.2 Medição

1. Certifique-se de que o medidor esteja calibrado.
2. Rinse the electrode with distilled water and immerse it in the sample solução.
3. Wait for the reading to stabilize on the LCD. The AutoRead (AR) function can assist in determining when the reading is stable.
4. Record the pH and temperature values displayed.

4.3 Registro de Dados

The pH 3310 meter offers advanced data logging capabilities:

• Armazenamento manual: Pressione o STO button to manually store the current measurement. The meter can store up to 5000 data sets.
• Time-Controlled Datalogging: Access the menu to set adjustable intervals for automatic data collection. This is ideal for long-term field monitoring.
• Modo dormir: During long-term monitoring, the special "sleep" mode conserves battery power.
• Memória não volátil: All logged data is saved permanently, even if the batteries are depleted or removed.

4.4 Data Transfer to PC

Para transferir dados armazenados para um computador:
