Ph controller
ok well received my ph controller today, calibrated it.. and well,, not sure if it is working right......i followed the little instructions it came with, i get more instructions with a kinder surprise and still has me stumped... my target ph is 6.5... .my kh is 2 i am new to this kinda thing..... i plug the thing in it tells me my ph is 6.39 and the indicator light is on and so is the solenoid pumping more co2 into the tank... lowering the ph// here is the instructions that came with the controller....- Connect the PH electrode in the PH input terminal socket and slide the [PH/SET] switch to PH position.
- Immerse the electrode in a PH6.86 buffer solution and wait for a few seconds and adjust the CAL knob until the screen displays the reading 6.86.
- Clean the electrode with fresh water. Immerse the electrode in PH4.01 buffer solution and wait for a few seconds and adjust the SLOPE knob until the reading 4.01 appears in the screen.
- Once done with the calibration and the CAL and SLOPE readings are set, clean the electrode with fresh water. Calibration must be done every time a new PH electrode will be used. Do the steps 1 to 7 to calibrate the readings.
- Put the PH electrode into the solution that you want to measure.
- PH SETTING :
- Slide the [PH/SET] switch to SET position and adjust the SET knob until it reaches your required reading.
- Slide the [PH/SET] function switch to PH position. If the pH reading goes above the set value while setting the calibration, slide the [HI/LO] switch to HI-A position. And if pH reading goes below the set value while setting the calibration, slide the [HI/LO] switch to LO-A position.
so if i calibrated with both the solutions,, i then take the prob put it in my tank, and hit the switch over to ph, now i wait for the final reading on tank ph, and then i hit the switch to the lo setting, because my target ph is higher than the reading on the controller my solenoid kicks on,,,,, i think i am doing this wrong.... i am so lost,, anyone got a map.. or info to help me..i am stuck on the ph setting. its says if the ph reading goes above the set values while setting the calibration.. did i not just calibrate with those 2 bottles of stuff,, or do i have to calibrate it with the tank water.....:argue:
