1.5 Design and operation
1.5.1 pH-meter general data
The рН-meter is a dual-channel measuring instrument designed for continu-
ous measuring:
 hydrogen ion activity (pH) within a range from 1 to 12 рН;
 temperature of aqueous solutions within a range from +5 to +50 С;
 U (MAPK-902, MAPK-902/1, MAPK-902А and MAPK-902А/1 рН-meter
versions) within a range from – 1.000 to +1.000 mV.
Measured рН and analyte medium temperature values are displayed on the
screen of a digital LCD display (“the display”) with the least significant digit 0.001 pH
(pH measurements), 1 mV (U measurements) and 0.1 С (temperature measure-
ments). It provides separate or simultaneous indication for two measuring chan-
nels.
For convenient recording of measured pH values on a recording unit using
current outputs, the рН-meter’s user may set the pH measuring subrange start and
end values (by current output).
Each pH measuring channel of the pH-meter has a current output with uni-
fied output DC signals from 0 to 5 mA or from 4 to 20 mA. A unified output DC sig-
