Care and Maintenance
To obtain the highest accuracy for measurements it is important to follow these tips:
• Calibration is only as good as the buffer being used. The pH buffer values change over
time once the sachets are opened. Fresh buffer should be used for each calibration.
• The probe should be rinsed with purified water each time before placing in buffer or
sample to be tested.
• When the meter is not in use it is important to add several drops of storage solution
to the protective cap to keep the probe hydrated. If storage solution is not available,
pH 3.00 or pH 7.01 buffer can be used.
• For improved accuracy it is recommended to calibrate in two buffers.
• It is important to calibrate and measure samples at the same temperature. A dramatic
change in temperature between buffer solutions and samples to be tested will give
inaccurate readings.
• If fouled, clean the electrode by soaking in cleaning solution for 20 minutes, then
rinse the tip and soak in storage solution at least 30 minutes before use. Recalibrate
after each cleaning.
• If the fill solution (electrolyte) is less than the minimum fill level, it must be refilled.
• With the electrode upside-down, rotate the
PE sleeve while moving it down to expose the
fill hole. Turn the electrode right-side up and
carefully shake out remaining electrolyte fill
solution through fill hole.
• With the electrode upside-down and fill
hole exposed, add fresh HI9070 electrolyte
solution with the supplied pipette (Fig. 1).
• Rotate the PE sleeve while moving it back over
the fill hole.

Meter Overview
Preparation:
The pH electrode is shipped with a protective cap containing storage solution. Before
using the meter, remove the protective cap and condition the electrode by soaking the
tip (bottom 3 cm (1.2”)) in pH 7.01 buffer solution for several minutes. Then follow the
calibration procedure.
• Do not be alarmed if white crystals appear around the cap. This is normal with pH
electrodes and they dissolve when rinsed with water.
• Turn the meter on by pressing ON/OFF button.
• Remove the protective cap and immerse the tip of the electrode in the sample
to be tested.
DO NOT IMMERSE THE ELECTRODE OVER THE MAXIMUM IMMERSION LEVEL.
• Stir gently and wait for a stable reading.
• For best results, periodically calibrate at the temperature of the wine.
• After use, rinse the electrode with water and store it with a few drops of storage
solution in the protective cap.
• Reattach the protective cap after each use.
DO NOT USE DISTILLED OR DEIONIZED WATER FOR STORAGE PURPOSES.
Intended use
The pH of wine is important because it will affect the quality of the final product in
terms of taste, color, oxidation, chemical stability and other factors. Generally in
winemaking, the higher the pH reading, the lower the amount of acidity in the wine.
Three important factors in determining the pH of wine include the ratio of malic acid to
tartaric acid, the amount of potassium, and the total amount of acid present.
Most wines optimally have a pH between 2.9 and 4.0, with values differing based on
the type of wine. Values above pH 4.0 indicate that the wine may spoil quickly and be
chemically unstable. Lower pH values allow the wine to stay fresher for a longer period
and retain its original color and flavor. High pH wine is more likely to breed bacteria
and become unsuitable to drink. For finished white wines, the ideal pH is between pH
3.00 and pH 3.30, while the final pH for red wine is ideally between pH 3.40 and pH
3.50. The optimal pH before the fermentation process is between pH 2.9 and pH 4.0.
The pH of wine therefore not only affects the color of wine, but also the oxidation, yeast
fermentation, protein stability and bacteria growth and fermentation.
Probe Features
CPS™ Sleeve Junction
Clogging Prevention System (CPS™) technology improves pH measurements in samples
with a high solids content. Conventional pH electrodes use ceramic junctions that can clog
quickly when used in samples that have a high solids content such as wine must or juice.
When the junction is clogged, the electrode does not function. CPS technology utilizes the
porousnessof groundglass coupled with a PE sleeve to prevent clogging of the junction. The
ground glass allows proper flow of the liquid, while the PE sleeve repels solids. As a result,
pH electrodes with CPS technology take up to 20 times longer to be fouled as compared
to conventional electrodes.

Low Temperature Glass Formulation
The glass tip uses a special low temperature (LT)
glass formulation. This is beneficial since many
food products are at low temperatue.
Spherical Glass Tip
The domed tip design allows for a wide area
of contact with the measured sample. This permits
a faster electrode response with a higher degree of
stability.
