1 INTRODUCTION
Thank you for selecting the pH 11/110 meter. These meters are microprocessor-
based instruments and are designed to be handy, capable of allowing one-hand
operation. Each has a large custom dual LCD for clear and easy reading. It is a
unique and intelligent instrument that has the capability to cater to the preferences of
the discerning individual. You have one of the two models:
•pH 11 meter
•pH 110 meter
Both meters have many user-friendly features – all of which are completely
accessible through the splash-proof membrane keypad. Your meter includes a
temperature probe, electrode holder, built-in meter stand and batteries. Eutech
Instruments/ Oakton Instruments offer a wide selection of pH and ORP electrodes.
Refer to Section 15 LIST OF ACCESSORIES on page 65 for more information.
The basic model is the pH 11 which is capable of measuring pH, Temperature, and
millivolt (mV).
The deluxe model is the pH 110 which measures pH, Temperature, millivolt (mV) and
relative millivolt (Rel mV). It has many advanced features and allows you to
customise the meter settings. It also has a RS232C port that allows the meter to be
connected to a computer or a printer via a cable for transferring data.
For power requirements, you can either use 4 AAA-sized batteries or an AC/DC

3.2.2 To connect the temperature probe:
The temperature probe (provided) uses a 2.5 mm
phono jack to connect with the socket on the pH
11/110. Insert the jack fully into the socket (Figure
6).
Note: Calibrate your temperature probe when you
replace the probe and when using a “3-in-One”
combination pH and temperature probe. See
section 4.5 - Temperature Calibration on page 16
for instructions.
3.2.3 Attaching the Electrode Holder to the
Meter
The pH meter is designed to allow you to do a one hand operation for any
measurement or calibration. For that purpose, two electrode holders are provided.
They are designed for easy use and installation. Care must be taken to avoid use of
excessive force in the process of attaching these components.
1. Locate the slot on the right-hand side of the meter.
2. Gently slide the flange of the holder into the slot on the meter. Make sure the
holder is secured properly into the slot (Figure 7).
3. You can attach the electrode holder in different positions (Figure 9).
3.2.4 To attach a second electrode holder:
The electrode holder is designed such that you can attach one holder onto another.
Up to two electrodes (using the BNC connector and phono-jack) can be used with the
meter at any one time.

1. Align the flange of the second electrode holder with the slot of the first holder
(Figure 8).
2. Slide the flange of the second holder into the slot of the first holder until the
tops of the holders are aligned and secure.
3.2.5 Insert the electrode into the holder
1. Do not use excessive force
when inserting electrodes into
the holders.
2. Insert the pH electrode into the
opening of the first holder until
the top housing of the electrode
touches the top of the holder.
3. If you are using a separate
temperature probe, insert the
probe into the opening of the
second holder until the ridge on
the housing touches the top of
the holder.
NOTE: The holder is designed for
probes 12 mm in diameter. Electrodes larger than 12 mm may not fit in the holder.
Forcing the electrode into the opening may damage the holder or your electrode.
The electrode holders can be attached in different positions for greater flexibility in
measurement and storage purposes. Simply slide out the electrode holders and
reorient into appropriate orientation before putting into position.

3.3 Connecting the AC/DC Adapter
Besides using four AAA-sized batteries as a power source, the pH 11/110 meter can
also operate from the power mains using an AC/DC power adapter either at 120/220
VAC (sold separately). This is extremely useful if you have an A.C. power source
available (e.g. laboratory).
Before plugging in, switch off the meter and the power source of adapter. This is a
safety precaution that should be adhered to safeguard your meter.
1. Switch off the meter and power sources.
2. Select the correct AC/DC Adapter either at 120/220 VAC which matches your
input mains voltage.
3. Select the correct output voltage of the AC/DC adapter. (Output Voltage: 9 to
15 V DC, Current: >=50 mA).
4. Gently insert the power adapter D.C. jack into the meter power socket.
5. Switch on the power source of the adapter followed by the meter.
3.4 Connecting the RS232C Cable (Only for pH 110)
The pH 110 meter provides a RS232C output for you to
transmit your readings either to a printer or a computer via
a cable. This is useful in instances where the meter is used
for continuous monitoring of a certain process or
experiment. Data output to the printer or the computer can
then be evaluated.
The data is output in the ASCII format. This format allows
the data to be imported by a wide variety of software that
read ASCII data (e.g. Microsoft’s Excel, Lotus, Quattro-pro
etc.). A complimentary Data Acquisition Software (DAS) is
provided and it captures data transmitted into an ASCII
file for later use.
1. Open the printer port cover located at the bottom
end of the meter. Do not use excessive force when doing this. See Figure 10.
2. Noting the orientation of the RS232C connector, plug the male connector into
the RS232C port of the meter.
3. Fasten the RS232C connector by fastening the two screws at the side of the
male RS232C connector.

4 CALIBRATION
4.1 Important Information on Meter Calibration
When you re-calibrate your meter, previous pH and Relative mV calibration points
are replaced on a point by point basis. For example, if you previously calibrated your
meter at pH 4.01, 7.00, and 10.01, and you have now re-calibrated at pH 7.00, the
meter retains the old calibration data at pH 4.01 and pH 10.01. To view current
calibration points, see section 9.3 - P2.0: Viewing Previous Calibration Data on page
38.
To completely re-calibrate your meter, or when you use a replacement probe, it is
best to set the meter to its factory defaults and re-calibrate the meter at all points. To
reset the meter to its factory defaults, see section 9.6.2 - User Reset on page 43.
4.2 Preparing the Meter for Calibration
Before starting calibration, make sure you are in the correct measurement mode.
When you switch on the meter, the meter starts up in the units last used. For
example, if you shut the meter off in “mV” units, the meter will read “mV” units when
you switch the meter on.
Be sure to remove the protective electrode storage bottle or rubber cap of the
electrode before calibration or measurement. If the electrode has been stored dry,
wet the electrode in tap water for 10 minutes before calibrating or taking readings to
saturate the pH electrode surface and minimise drift.
Wash your electrode in deionised water after use, and store in electrode storage
solution. If storage solution is not available, use pH 4.01 or 7.00 buffer solution.
Do not reuse buffer solutions after calibration. Contaminants in the solution can affect
the calibration, and eventually the accuracy of the measurements. See section 15.3 -
Calibration Solutions on page 67 for information on our high-quality pH buffer
solutions.
It is recommended that you perform at least a 2-Point Calibration using standard
buffers that adequately cover the expected measurement range prior to
measurement. 1-Point Calibration can also be used for quick measurements. Make
sure that the calibration point is close to the sample value to be measured.

Instruction Manual CyberScan pH 11 / 110
12
4.2.1 pH 11 meter calibration
The pH 11 meter is capable of up to 5-point pH calibration to ensure accuracy across
the entire pH range of the meter. You can select from the following buffer options:
•USA buffers --- pH 1.68, 4.01, 7.00, 10.01, and 12.45.
•NIST buffers --- pH 1.68, 4.01, 6.86, 9.18, and 12.45.
4.2.2 pH 110 meter calibration
The pH 110 meter features four separate internationally recognised buffer standards.
Select the buffer standard you require in section 9.2.2 - P1.2: Select Calibration
Buffer Options on page 35.
This meter is capable of up to 6-point pH calibration, depending on the buffer
standard selection. You can select from the following buffer options:
•USA buffers --- pH 1.68, 4.01, 7.00, 10.01, and 12.45.
•NIST buffers --- pH 1.68, 4.01, 6.86, 9.18, and 12.45.
•DIN buffers --- pH 1.09, 3.06, 4.65, 6.79, 9.23, and 12.75.
•PWB (Low Ionic): pH 4.10 and 6.97
The meter automatically recognises and calibrates to these standard buffer values,
which makes pH calibration faster and easier.

Instruction Manual CyberScan pH 11 / 110

4.3 pH Calibration with ATC
NOTE: We recommend that you perform at least 2-point calibration using standard
buffers that bracket (one above and one below) the expected sample range.
1. If necessary, press the MODE key to select pH
mode. The pH indicator appears in the upper
right hand corner of the display.
2. Rinse the probe thoroughly with de-ionised
water or a rinse solution. Do not wipe the
probe; this causes a build-up of electrostatic
charge on the glass surface.
3. Dip the probe into the calibration buffer. The
end of the probe must be completely immersed
into the sample. Stir the probe gently to create a
homogeneous sample.
4. Press CAL/MEAS key to enter pH calibration
mode. The CAL indicator will be shown. The
primary display will show the measured reading
while the smaller secondary display will indicate
the pH standard buffer solution.
5. Wait for the measured pH value to stabilise
(The READY indicator will be shown only if it is
activated in the set up menu).
6. Press HOLD/ENTER key to confirm calibration.
The meter is now calibrated to the current
buffer.

points. See Figure 12.
9. When all the calibration points set in the Unit
Configuration Setup (see P1.3 Select Number
of pH Calibration Points on page 36) are
completed, the meter returns to Measurement
mode automatically. However, if you wish to
terminate the calibration without completing the
number of points as set in the Unit
Configuration Setup menu, press CAL/MEAS to
return to pH measurement mode.
NOTES:
1. To exit from pH calibration mode without confirming
calibration, DO NOT press ENTER in step 6. Press

4.4 mV Calibration (Offset) (Only for pH 110)
With pH 110 meter, you can perform a calibration or an
offset of up to ±150 mV. Note: For Oxidation reduction
Potential (ORP) or Redox measurements, an ORP
electrode must be used.
1. While in the measurement function, press
MODE to enter the mV mode. The mV indicator
appears in the upper right hand corner. See
figure at right.
2. Press the CAL/MEAS key. The CAL indicator
appears above the primary display. The primary
display shows the relative mV reading and the
secondary display shows the absolute mV value.
•If you have never calibrated relative mV or if the
meter has been reset, the value shown in the
primary display is the same as the absolute mV
value.
•“R.” annunciator will appear once mV calibration
is performed, an indication of mV offset.
3. Press the MI/▲or MR/▼keys to enter the
relative mV value that matches your desired
reading.
4. Press the HOLD/ENTER key to confirm the
reading and to return to the measurement mode.
The primary display now shows the relative mV
reading.
NOTES:
1. To view the mV offset value, see section 9.4.2 - View mV

4.5 Temperature Calibration
The temperature sensor is factory calibrated. Calibrate
the temperature probe only if you suspect temperature
errors may have occurred over a long period of time or if
you have a replacement temperature probe. This
procedure offers offset adjustment of probe to ensure
more accurate temperature measurement.
1. Make sure the ATC probe (or temperature
connector of the electrode) is connected to the
phono-socket (see Figure 6).
2. Switch the meter on. The ATC annunciator will
appear at the right-hand side of the LCD. Press
the MODE key to select pH mode.
3. Press the CAL/MEAS key to enter pH
calibration mode. The CAL indicator will appear
above the primary display.
4. While in pH calibration mode, press the MODE
key to enter temperature calibration mode. The
primary display shows the measured
temperature reading according to the last set
offset1and the secondary display shows the
factory calibrated temperature measurement.
5. Dip the ATC probe (or electrode) into a solution
of known temperature (i.e. a temperature bath).
Allow time for the temperature probe to
stabilise.
6. Scroll with the MI/▲or MR/▼keys to set the
correct temperature value (i.e. the temperature
of the temperature bath). You can adjust the
reading in increments of 0.1°C.
7. Once you have selected the correct
temperature, press the HOLD/ENTER key. The
meter automatically returns to pH measurement
mode. See Figure 14.
NOTES:
You can offset the temperature reading up to ±5°C from
original reading.
To exit this program without confirming the temperature
calibration value, DO NOT press ENTER. Press CAL/MEAS instead.
1It displays the value being measured currently, offset by the last calibration.
