4. การสอบเทียบ

Regular calibration ensures accurate measurements. The ZenTest app provides step-by-step guidance for calibration.

การสอบเทียบค่า pH 4.1

  1. Prepare pH 7.00 and pH 4.00 (or pH 10.01) calibration solutions.
  2. Rinse the probe with purified water and gently dab off excess water with a clean tissue.
  3. Insert the probe into the pH 7.00 solution. In the ZenTest app, navigate to the 'Calibration' section and follow the on-screen prompts.
  4. Once the reading stabilizes, confirm the calibration point.
  5. Repeat the process for pH 4.00 (or pH 10.01) solution.

4.2 การสอบเทียบค่าการนำไฟฟ้า

  1. Prepare 1413 µS/cm and 12.88 mS/cm calibration solutions.
  2. Rinse the probe with purified water and gently dab off excess water.
  3. Insert the probe into the 1413 µS/cm solution. In the ZenTest app, navigate to the 'Calibration' section and follow the on-screen prompts.
  4. Once the reading stabilizes, confirm the calibration point.
  5. Repeat the process for the 12.88 mS/cm solution.

5. Operating the Tester

The PC60-Z tester can be operated directly or via the ZenTest app. The app offers various display modes (Simple, Dial, Graph, Table) and advanced features.

5.1 การวัด

  1. ถอดฝาครอบป้องกันออกจากหัววัด
  2. Rinse the probe with purified water and gently dab off excess water.
  3. ใส่โพรบลงใน sample solution. Gently stir for a few seconds.
  4. Wait for the reading to stabilize (indicated by a smiley face icon on the tester's screen or a stable reading in the app).
  5. Record the measurement. You can switch between parameters (pH, Cond, TDS, Sal, Res) using the 'MODE' button on the tester or within the app.
  6. After measurement, rinse the probe with purified water and replace the protective cap.

6. Data Management with ZenTest App

The ZenTest app provides comprehensive data management features.

6.1 Manual Data Logging

In Simple Mode or Dial Mode, a 'Save' button is available. Pressing this button saves the current measurement data along with a screenshot of the display. Saved data can be accessed via the 'Data' button.

6.2 Auto Data Logging

In Graph Mode or Table Mode, an 'Auto Save' function is available. You can set a timer (in seconds or minutes) for automatic data logging. Once the timer is set, press 'Auto Save' to begin. The data will be automatically logged at the specified interval. Press 'Auto Save' again to stop logging.

6.3 Adding Notes and Photos

For any saved dataset, you can add extra information by pressing the 'Note' button. This allows you to input GPS location, sample name, user name, memos, and even attach a photo of the sampเล.

6.4 Organizing and Sharing Data

The app includes a file management function to organize your data into categories. You can select multiple datasets and assign them to a new or existing category. All data saved with a registered ZenTest account is stored in the cloud, preventing data loss and allowing synchronization across multiple devices. Saved data, including screenshots and photos, can be instantly shared via email by clicking the 'Send' button and entering the recipient's email address.

7. การบำรุงรักษา

Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and accuracy of your PC60-Z tester.

  • พื้นที่จัดเก็บหัววัด: Always keep the pH/conductivity combo sensor in the 3M KCL storage solution provided in the protective cap. Do not store the probe dry or in distilled/deionized water.
  • การทำความสะอาด: Rinse the probe with purified water before and after each use. If the probe is visibly dirty, clean it with a mild detergent solution and rinse thoroughly.
  • Sensor Shield: The sensor shield is built on top of the probe to protect the sensitive glass membrane from accidental damage. Ensure it is clean and free of debris.

8 การแก้ไขปัญหา

The ZenTest app includes a 'Smart Self-Diagnosis' feature to help identify and resolve common issues.

  • การอ่านค่าที่ไม่เสถียร: If readings are unstable, check for air bubbles in the glass bulb (shake the meter gently to dislodge them). Ensure the probe is properly conditioned in storage solution.
  • Incorrect Calibration: Verify that calibration solutions are not expired or contaminated. If so, replace them.
  • Problematic Probe: Check the probe for any visible damage (e.g., broken glass). If the probe is old, its service life might be reduced. Consider replacing the probe if issues persist.
  • การเชื่อมต่อบลูทูธ: Ensure your phone's Bluetooth is on and the tester is within the 30 ft range. Restarting both the app and the tester can often resolve connection issues.
