5.1.1 Measuring the pH value

Stability control

(AutoRead )

The stability control function (

AutoRead

) continually checks the stability of the 

measurement signal. The stability has a considerable impact on the reproduc-
ibility of measured values. The display of the measured parameter flashes until 
a stable measured value is available.
You can start the 

Stability control

 function manually at any time, irrespective of 

the setting for automatic 

Stability control

 (see section 11.6.3) in the 

System

 

menu.

The sensor connection and the USB-B (device) interface are gal-
vanically insulated. This facilitates interference-free measurements 
also in the following cases:

Measurement in grounded test samples

Measurement with several sensors connected to one 
Multi 3630 IDS in one test sample

1

Connect the IDS-pH sensor to the meter.
The pH measuring window is displayed.

2

If necessary, select the measured parameter with 

<M>

.

3

If necessary, calibrate or check the IDS-pH sensor.

4

Immerse the IDS-pH sensor in the test sample.

5

Select the pH or mV display with 

<M>
