Want to get started on
testing your Kangen or Alkaline ionized water?
The PINPOINT® ORP Meter Kit from American Marine contains all the
necessary components for the successful, hassle
free, and
accurate measurement of Kangen /Alkaline /
Ionized water and other liquids. The ORP / (REDOX)
Oxidation Reduction Potential reading is one of
the most important benchmarks of judging the
strength and potency of Kangen water (also called Microwater or Alkaline ionized water). A positive number suggests a
state of decay or corrosion, referred to as
oxidation. Recreational pool managers use the
PINPOINT ORP Monitor to look for a
high positive ORP number to judge how much
chlorine to add to the pool since the higher ORP
number
is an indicator of how effective living
organisms such as germs and bacteria can be
expected to die off. Humans are living organism
as well and when we ingest liquids with high
positive ORP
levels an exhilarated aging process is the
result. On the other hand a low ORP reading
suggest a preserving effect or an anti-aging
effect due to the abundance of antioxidants that
fight free radicals in the body which would
otherwise cause our tissues and organs to age.
It is our opinion that when you drink Kangen
water (also called Microwater or Alkaline
ionized water) with negative ORP levels of -300 to - 500
or even less you are doing a world of benefit to
your entire body.
The PINPOINT® ORP Meter is a full range instrument, capable of
measurement from -2,000 to +2,000. It has been
engineered for the specific low negative ORP
measurement range needed to measure ionized
water by utilizing proprietary UltraPure
Platinum® probe technology.
It makes no sense buying a
ORP Meter without the accessories needed to
properly maintain it so you get accurate
readings. Keep a supply of these items on hand.
This is why this kit is so handy.
PINPOINT®
400 mV Calibration Fluid should be used to occasionally
verify the meter/probe accuracy and
condition. Always be sure to have some on hand.
Probe Storage Fluid should be placed inside the
storage bottle to approximately halfway
capacity. This will keep the response of the
probe very fast and crisp. Please read the
PINPOINT ORP
User's Guide below for complete detailed
instructions on how to
calibrate your ORP Meter.
The
PINPOINT® Cleaning/Polishing Strip is used
to recondition the jewelry grade platinum probe
tip to properly read low negative ORP values.
This will be the only method to condition the
probe tip without destroying the delicate
platinum surface. Cleaning/Polishing strips can
be reused. If the ionizer readings are not as
you predicted, a 5 second cleaning with the
strip is all you need.
Storage Fluid should be placed inside the
storage bottle to approximately halfway
capacity. This will keep the response of the
probe very fast and crisp.

PINPOINT ORP Monitor Set-up
Unwrap the protective plastic packaging
from the PINPOINT ® ORP (REDOX) Monitor unit.
Remove the battery cover on the back of the
monitor and install a new 9-volt battery or the
PINPOINT ® AC Adapter Kit. Use the pop-up stand
on back and place meter on a flat, dry surface.
Velcro can be used to mount the meter onto a
vertical surface. Carefully remove the plastic
storage bottle installed on the end of the
electrode. Save the plastic storage bottle and
fill half way with only pH/ORP probe storage
fluid for future use. Rinse the end of the
electrode briefly under lukewarm water. Attach
the BNC Connector from the electrode onto the
BNC input of the ORP meter. Turn the connector ¼
turn clockwise to lock the connector. Activate
the unit by setting the power switch to the ON
position. Your PINPOINT ® ORP (REDOX) Monitor is
now ready for calibration.
Place
the tip of the ORP (REDOX) Electrode into the
PINPOINT ® ORP (REDOX) 400 Calibration Fluid and
wait a few seconds for the measurement to
stabilize. Adjust the calibration screw on the
front of the monitor to read +400mV. Calibration
should be checked monthly or when an unusual
reading is observed. Do not reuse the
calibration fluid.
• Alkaline/ Ionized/Kangen
Water Measurement
High quality Ionized/Alkaline/Kangen
water typically has ORP measurements in the –300
to –700 range. These levels suggests that the
kangen water is if full of antioxidants. The UltraPure Platinum® tip of
the probe should be occasionally
cleaned/polished with the PINPOINT ® Polishing
Strip for optimal negative ORP measurement.
American Marine is an expert in ionized water
ORP measurement. Please call 800-706-6121 if you have
measurement or set-up questions.
•
Aquarium/Aquaculture Use
As with any lab quality ORP (REDOX) Electrode it is important to wait
the full 24-36 hours before recording ORP values
when continuously monitoring. During this period
the electrode should “settle in” to the new
environment. The PINPOINT ® ORP (REDOX) Probe is
widely considered to be superior lab grade and
should be precisely calibrated to the PINPOINT ®
ORP (REDOX) Meter before initial installation.
Clean the electrode occasionally (every 3-4
weeks) using a wet soft toothbrush with long
bristles. Gently push the electrode tip down
into the wet bristles and rotate the probe 3-4
times to remove algae and other particulate.
PINPOINT ® ORP (REDOX) 400 Calibration Fluid
also performs a thorough chemical cleaning of
the platinum tip and the reference junctions
during the calibration process. Typical readings
in established, well-maintained saltwater
systems should be in the 400- 450mV range.
Maintenance should be increased if the range
would fall to 300-325mV. Artificial oxidation
agents like potassium permanganate or ozone gas
should be monitored with a PINPOINT ® ORP (REDOX)
Monitor to prevent overdose.
PINPOINT ® ORP (REDOX)
Electrode life expectancy is 18 months at which
time the probe should be replaced. While
calibration may be possible on an old probe, the
probe’s ability to quickly react to changes in
ORP (REDOX) value will be severely limited and
therefore not adequate for measurement.
Important Points to Remember
• PINPOINT ® ORP (REDOX) Monitor can be
used as a precision continuous monitor or as a
spot measurement instrument. The AC Adapter Kit
is recommended for continuous use however a
regular 9-volt battery can be successfully used
until “LOBAT” is indicated on the display.
•
PINPOINT ® ORP (REDOX) Meter is NOT
waterproof and must be operated on a dry
surface. Liquid contact with the printed circuit
board will cause corrosion and void warranty.
• The
plastic storage container must be removed from
the tip of the probe so that ORP (REDOX) values
can be measured.
•
Calibrate the ORP (REDOX) Probe to the PINPOINT
® ORP (REDOX) Monitor by using PINPOINT ® ORP
(REDOX) 400 Calibration Fluid. For best accuracy
the calibration should be checked monthly or
whenever an unusual reading is observed. Always
use new 400mV fluid.
• If the
probe is to be transported or stored, the
plastic storage bottle should be filled halfway
with PINPOINT® pH/ORP storage fluid. It is
available from American Marine Inc. Damage or
shortened probe life will occur if deionized/reverse
osmosis, low pH water or ORP 400 Calibration
fluid is used as storage fluid.
• Probe
should be inserted about 1 inch into the liquid
to be measured. Probe may be totally submerged
if desired.
•
Alkaline water produced by high quality water
ionizers typically has negative ORP measurements
in the –300 to –700 range. The platinum tip of
the electrode should be polished as needed with
the ORP Polishing Strip to successfully measure
low negative ORP values.
•
Replace the probe every 18 months for optimum
performance.
• The
PINPOINT ® ORP Electrode contains an internal
glass rod and should be handled/transported with
care. If the internal glass rod becomes damaged,
a new replacement ORP electrode must be
purchased.
