SECTION 1 INTRODUCTION
Hach provides pH and ISE meters for applications from pH
measurements to accurate Ion Selective Electrode work. This
manual describes the operation and use of the Hach Model EC10
Portable pH/mV/Temperature Meter.
The electrode holder allows the user to store the electrode and meter
in one convenient package when not in use. The electrode holder is
designed with a chamber at the bottom to hold a cotton ball which
has been saturated with pH Electrode Storage Solution or pH 7
buffer. This creates a humid environment that allows the electrode
bulb to remain hydrated when not in use. In addition, the electrode
cable may be tucked securely out of the way under the flap on the
inside of the electrode holder (see Figure 2 Electrode Holder).

SECTION 2 INSTRUMENT SETUP
This meter is designed for easy hand-held or benchtop use; the
flip-stand allows a convenient viewing angle adjustment for
benchtop situations. The meter operates on one 9 V alkaline
battery with an estimated battery life of 40 hours of continuous
use. Insert the battery as described below.

5. After the keypad test, the meter will turn off. Remove the
BNC shorting cap, connect the electrode, and press the I/O
key to access measure mode.
6. If any problems are found during the self-test the meter will
display the error code until acknowledged with a press of
the YES key.
7
2.3.1 Temperature Probe Connection
Attach the temperature probe to the ATC/DIN jack by sliding the
connector straight in until firmly in place. The connector has a
special sealing mechanism to prevent moisture from penetrating
the meter. This mechanism is engaged when the connector is
properly attached. The display will show ATC after the
displayed temperature when the temperature probe is properly
connected.
CAL Key
The CAL key enters the meter into calibration mode.
MODE Key
Toggles the meter between pH, mV and temperature mode. The
selected mode moves an arrow icon along the bottom of the display.
The main display area shows the designated values and units.
2. Press the ARROW key. A negative sign (-) will flash in the
display. Accept the negative sign with a press of the YES key or
press the ARROW key to remove the negative sign. Press YES.

key. Press the YES key to accept the appropriate value for
each position and move to the next position.

Detailed instructions for any Hach electrode are given in the
electrode instruction manual. Titration instructions are included
in the Hach ORP Electrode Instruction Manual, or in standard
analytical chemistry texts.

SECTION 3 CALIBRATION PROCEDURES
3.1 pH Measurement Basics
Perform a one or two buffer calibration before pH is measured.
Hach recommends performing a two-buffer calibration using
buffers that bracket the expected sample range at the beginning of
each day. This will help determine if the electrode is working
properly and allow the slope value to be stored in memory.
Perform a one-buffer calibration as necessary to compensate for
electrode drift.
3.3 Autocalibration
The autocalibration feature of the Model EC10 Meter
automatically recognizes pH 4.0, 7.0, and 10.0 buffers within a
range of + 0.5 pH units. When the electrode is stable, the meter
will automatically recognize and display the temperature-
corrected value for that buffer. Press YES to enter the value in
memory.
11
2. Press the MODE key until the pH mode indicator is displayed.
NOTE: To view the current slope value at any time, press the CAL key.
The slope will appear momentarily. Press the MODE key to return to
measure mode without changing the current calibration.
12
2. Press the MODE key until the pH mode indicator is displayed.
4. Wait for a stable reading (the meter will beep and READY
will appear on the display) and press YES. The display will
remain fixed for two seconds then P2 will be displayed in the
lower field.
5. Press the MODE key. The slope from the previous calibration
will be displayed (flashing). The slope value may be edited
using the ARROW key as in section 2.4.2 Setting Temperature
Manually on page 8 or it may be retained by pressing the
YES key. After the slope value has been entered, the meter
will proceed to the Measure mode.
6. Rinse the electrode(s) and place them into the sample. Read
the pH directly from the main display and temperature from
the lower field.

SECTION 4
TEMPERATURE COMPENSATION
4.1 Temperature Compensation of pH
pH measurements on Hach portable meters may be made with
Automatic Temperature Compensation (ATC) or Manual
Temperature Compensation.

SECTION 5 TROUBLESHOOTING
5.1 Self-Test
Disconnect the electrode and temperature probe, if applicable,
from the meter. Securely attach the BNC shorting cap to the
electrode input(s) of the meter. Hold the YES key down and turn
the instrument power on. Release the I/O key and the YES key
simultaneously. The self-test will begin and the meter will display
various codes corresponding to the section of the instrument
being checked.
During the self-test the meter displays the code 7E57 in the
main display and the number of the test being performed in the
lower display. Additional meter displays occur depending on the
test being performed. Refer to Table 1. Self-Tests for more
information.

NOTE: If any error codes appear, make a note of each, then press the
YES key to continue.

5.2 Error Codes
Error Codes are used to inform the user of an out of range value
or meter problem. The following tables outline the operator
assistance codes available in the portable meter series.
The meter has a self test circuit which verifies proper electronic
operation. During the self test a special series of codes, E-0
through E-7, indicate a problem with the meter hardware. See
Table 2. Error Codes. Should one of these codes appear, contact
the Hach Service Department at 1-800-227-4224.
