Product overview
The sensION™+ meters are used with probes to measure various
parameters in water.
The sensION™+ MM378 meter has two measurement channels to
measure pH, ORP (mV), conductivity, ISE (concentration) or dissolved
oxygen. Channel 1 measures one or two parameters individually or
simultaneously. Up to two probes can be connected to Channel 1.
Channel 2 measures dissolved oxygen. Measurement data can be
stored and transferred to a printer or PC.

FCC Part 15, Class "A" Limits
Supporting test records reside with the manufacturer. The device
complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the
following conditions:
1. The equipment may not cause harmful interference.
2. The equipment must accept any interference received, including
interference that may cause undesired operation.
Changes or modifications to this equipment not expressly approved by
the party responsible for compliance could void the user's authority to
operate the equipment. This equipment has been tested and found to
comply with the limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of
the FCC rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable
protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated
in a commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses and can
radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in
accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference
to radio communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential
area is likely to cause harmful interference, in which case the user will be
required to correct the interference at their expense. The following
techniques can be used to reduce interference problems:
1. Disconnect the equipment from its power source to verify that it is or
is not the source of the interference.
2. If the equipment is connected to the same outlet as the device
experiencing interference, connect the equipment to a different
outlet.
3. Move the equipment away from the device receiving the interference.
4. Reposition the receiving antenna for the device receiving the
interference.
5. Try combinations of the above.

Maintenance
W A R N I N G
Multiple hazards. Do not disassemble the instrument for maintenance or service.
If the internal components must be cleaned or repaired, contact the
manufacturer.
CAUTION
Personal injury hazard. Only qualified personnel should conduct the tasks
described in this section of the manual.
Clean the instrument
NOTICE
Never use cleaning agents such as turpentine, acetone or similar products to
clean the instrument including the display and accessories.
Clean the exterior of the instrument with a moist cloth and a mild soap
solution.
Clean the probe
Clean the probe as needed. Refer to Troubleshooting on page 18 for
more information about cleaning. Refer to the probe documentation for
information about the probe maintenance.
Replace the magnetic stirrer
If the magnetic stirrer does not start, follow the numbered steps to
replace the magnetic stirrer.

Troubleshooting
Refer to the following table for common problem messages or
symptoms, possible causes and corrective actions.
Table 1 Calibration warnings and errors
Error/Warning Solution
Calibration out of
range Measured value out of range. Calibrate again. Connect a new probe.
Unknown buffer Calibrate again.
Examine the probe: Clean the probe (refer to Clean the
probe on page 16 for more information); make sure that
there are no air bubbles in the membrane. Shake the
probe like a thermometer; connect a different probe to
find if the problem is with the probe or the meter.
Examine the buffer solution: Make sure that the buffer
used matches the buffer specified in configuration; make
sure of the temperature specification in configuration; use
a new buffer solution.
Same buffer /
standard. Re-
calibrate
Unstable
measurement
Time > 100 s (pH,
EC and DO
calibrations)
Time > 240 s (ISE
calibrations)
Calibrate again.
Examine the probe: Clean the probe (refer to Clean the
probe on page 16 for more information); make sure that
there are no air bubbles in the membrane. Shake the
probe like a thermometer; connect a different probe to
find if the problem is with the probe or the meter.
Make sure that the membrane and the diaphragm are
properly immersed in the sample.
Temperature
difference > 3.0 ºC Adjust the calibration solutions to the same temperature.
Examine the temperature sensor.
Temperature out of
range Examine the temperature sensor. Connect a new probe.
Table 1 Calibration warnings and errors (continued)
Error/Warning Solution
Outside allowable
range Offset or Slope outside the range. Examine the buffer solution: Make sure that the buffer
used matches the buffer specified in configuration; make
sure of the temperature specification in configuration; use
a new buffer solution.
Examine the probe: Clean the probe (refer to Clean the
probe on page 16 for more information); make sure that
there are no air bubbles in the membrane. Shake the
probe like a thermometer; connect a different probe to
find if the problem is with the probe or the meter.
Signal too low / high
(DO calibrations) DO probe error. Examine the probe. Connect a different probe to make
sure that if problem is with probe or meter.
Use a new standard solution.
Cell constant over
limits (EC
calibrations)
Insert the probe into the appropriate standard and re-
read.
Examine the probe: Clean the probe (refer to Clean the
probe on page 16 for more information); make sure that
there are no air bubbles in the membrane. Shake the
probe like a thermometer; connect a different probe to
find if the problem is with the probe or the meter.
Cell constant
deviation error (EC
calibrations)
Not calibrated There are no calibration data stored in the instrument.
Perform calibration.
