CALIBRATION INSTRUCTIONS

1. Online Web-Console Calibration
   Once the device has been registered, please log in to the web-console at http://console.ubibot.com/login.html and follow the conductivity and PH calibration instructions.

2. PC tool calibration
   Please download the UbiBot PC Tool, connect the device, and follow the instructions to calibrate the conductivity and PH values.

3. 0ffline Calibration
   If the device operation environment has limited access to the network, you can also use offline calibration by following the instructions below.

Conductivity Offline Calibration

1. Pour the appropriate amount of the conductivity calibration solution into the container.
2. Wash the conductance electrode with distilled water and wipe it clean to ensure that there is no dirt or other attachments on the surface of the electrode.
3. Put the conductance electrode and the temperature probe into the calibration solution, and let them rest in the solution for 5 minutes at room temperature. The optimal temperature of the calibra­tion solution is 25°C
4. Press the menu button to refresh the measured data while turning the conductivity calibration knob until the value of the electrical conductivity displayed on the device is the same as the value of the calibration solution.

• • The conductivity value of the calibration solution should be as close as possible to the conductivity value of the measured solution.
• Turn the knob clockwise to increase conductivity, and turn the knob counterclockwise to decrease conductivity.
• If you are not sure about the conductivity of the target solution, you can put the probe into the solution and take the measurement so you can make an assessment before calibration.

PH Offline Calibration

1. Pour an appropriate amount of the calibration solution with PH=6.86 into the container.
2. Rinse the PH electrode with distilled water and wipe it clean to ensure that there is no dirt or other attachments on the surface of the electrode.
3. Put the PH electrode and the temperature probe into the calibration solution and let them rest in the solution for 5 minutes at room temperature. The optimal temperature of the calibration solution is 25°C.
4. Press the menu button to refresh the measured data while turning the conductivity calibration knob until the value of the electrical conductivity displayed on the device is the same as the value of the calibration solution.
5. Rinse the electrodes with distilled water and wipe them clean for preservation.

TROUBLESHOOTING

1. Device setup failure when using the UbiBot App.
   There are several factors that can affect the setup process. The followings are common issues:

2. WiFi frequency: The Device can only connect to 2.4GHz networks, channels 1-13.

3. WiFi password: Go through the device setup again and ensure that you have set the correct WiFi password for the network.

4. WiFi security type: The Device supports OPEN, WEP, or WPA/WPA2 types.

5. WiFi channel width: Make sure it is set to 20MHz or “Auto”.

6. Internet connection: Make sure your device’s WiFi router has a working Internet connection (for instance, try to access www.ubibot.com using your mobile phone connected to the same WiFi router).

7. Low battery power: WiFi uses a lot of power. Your device may be able to power on but may not have enough power for the WiFi. Please charge the device.

8. Signal strength: Make sure you have a good connection with WiFi, 3G/4G.

9. Please make sure the device has entered WiFi setup mode.

10. For direct problem diagnosis, please use the PC Offline Tools to go through the setup process and contact us with the response error code in Tools->Get Device Last Error.

11. This can help us to conduct remote diagnosis.

12. Failure to sync data. Please check the following:

13. With the device switched on, press the power button once to trigger a manual data sync. If the data has been successfully transferred, you will hear “sync completed.” If it says “sync failed”, try the next steps.

14. Check if the device has sufficient battery power for data sync. Data synchronization consumes a lot of power -­the device may be on but unable to sync data. Please check the battery icon on the screen. Charge the device before it runs out of power.

15. Make sure your device’s WiFi router has a working Internet connection (for instance, try to access www.ubi­bot.com using a mobile phone connected to the same WiFi).

16. If you are using mobile data, make sure your SIM card is activated. If activated, make sure the batteries and the USB power connection are able to provide 2A current. Check if your mobile data allowance is used up.

17. Can I use the device without a network connection? How do I access the data?
    The device will continue working without a network connection and can store up to 300,000 readings in its memory. Real-time readings are displayed on screen and you can access the data in the following ways:

18. Move the device to an area where there is a WiFi connection which the device can connect to. Press the power button once to manually trigger data sync. After the sync completes, it is recommended that you take the device back to the measurement location.

19. Use your mobile phone and enable Internet Connection Sharing. This can work well when your devices are installed in an area with limited or no WiFi coverage.

20. Use a laptop and the Micro USB cable to connect to the device manually. You can now perform a data export to your computer using the PC Tools.

21. Set up the device with a mobile data card. Once you are in range of the network, press the power button once to sync all data to the loT platform.

22. Can’ tented the setup mode.
    Please try to reboot the device and re-enter the setup mode. If it still fails, please use the external power supply to charge the device timely.

23. How often does the PH electrode or the conductance electrode need to be changed?
    In general, the PH electrode and the conductance electrode need to be replaced in time if there is a large deviation in the measured value after calibration. The conductance electrode has a long lifespan of several years, while the PH electrode generally needs to be replaced once a year. The specific service life depends on actual use.

24. How often does the PH electrode or the conductance electrode need to be calibrated?
    PH value electrode: In the case of high accuracy requirements, it is recommended to conduct calibration each time before use; if there is no strict accuracy requirement, it can be calibrated according to the actual situation.
    Conductance electrode: Normally, it is recommended to calibrate once a month. If there is no strict accuracy requirement, it can be calibrated according to the actual situation.

25. When measuring pure water or liquids with very low ion concentration, the measurement data will be unstable.

26. This is because the ion concentration in the liquid to be measured is very low, and the high concentration of KCl in the salt bridge solution of the reference electrode has a large concentration difference with each other, which is very different from its situation in ordinary solution. Pure water will increase the permeation rate of the salt bridge solution, prompting the loss of the salt bridge, thus accelerating the reduction of the concentration of K+ and Cl-. If the concentration of Cl- changes, the potential of the reference electrode itself will also change and the drift of the measured value will occur. Special electrodes are required for measuring pure water or liquids with very low sub-concentration.
