APERA INSTRUMENTS / AI1350

Add temperature sensing to a compatible electrode setup.

MP500 is a stainless steel temperature probe with an RCA connector and a 30 kΩ NTC thermistor. Use it with a supported Apera meter when a separate temperature input is needed alongside a pH or conductivity electrode.

Why choose this accessory?

Separate temperature input

MP500 provides temperature sensing for a compatible meter’s automatic temperature compensation workflow. It does not measure pH or conductivity by itself.

Match the meter, not just the plug

PH700, PH800 and PC800 are manufacturer-listed examples with documented RCA temperature inputs. Do not assume direct compatibility with an 8-pin-only meter or every RCA-equipped instrument.

Probe range is not system range

The probe element is rated from -10 to 110°C (14 to 230°F). The meter, analytical electrode and measurement mode can impose narrower limits.

Which existing setup does this accessory support?

Typical applications

pH electrodes without built-in temperature sensing

A separate MP500 can supply the temperature input in a documented pairing. Apera’s PH700 and PH800 references identify selected LabSen electrodes that require a separate MP500.

Compatible conductivity workflows

Use alongside a conductivity electrode only when the host supports this separate temperature input. Compensation settings and data functions belong to the meter, not to MP500.

What this order supplies

Order detail Configuration
Manufacturer catalog AI1350
Blue Tiger SKU BTS-AI1350
Model MP500
Order unit One temperature probe
Not included Meter, pH or conductivity electrode and calibration solutions

Use the correct setup and care procedure.

Before ordering, confirm the complete meter model, analytical electrode and required temperature range. A matching RCA connector is not sufficient on its own.

Follow the exact host and electrode instructions for setup, calibration and care. The probe’s rating does not override narrower system limits or establish chemical compatibility with every sample.

AI1350 buyer questions

What does MP500 measure?

MP500 senses temperature. A compatible meter uses that input for temperature display and supported automatic temperature compensation. It is not a standalone thermometer with its own display.

Which meters can I use it with?

PH700, PH800 and PC800 are manufacturer-listed examples whose host manuals document RCA temperature inputs. Confirm your exact model and electrode configuration rather than assuming every Apera meter is compatible.

Will it plug directly into an 8-pin-only meter?

No. MP500 has an RCA connector, not an 8-pin plug. Any adapted setup must be separately confirmed for the host and pH electrode; connector appearance alone does not prove compatibility.

Does it replace my pH or conductivity electrode?

No. It supplies the separate temperature signal. A suitable analytical electrode is still required to measure pH or conductivity.

Can my complete setup operate from -10 to 110°C?

Not necessarily. That is the MP500 probe-element rating, not a guarantee for the meter, analytical electrode or ATC range. Use the limits of the complete documented system.

Can it cover the LabSen 881’s -25°C endpoint?

No. -25°C is below the MP500 probe’s -10°C lower rating. A LabSen 881 recommendation does not extend MP500 or the host meter to that endpoint.

Where does the RCA connector go on a compatible benchtop meter?

The PH700 and 800-series manuals identify the RCA temperature input as TEMP. Follow the instructions for your exact host and keep electrical connectors clean and dry. Do not confuse this with the BNC pH or conductivity input.

Do I still need to calibrate the analytical electrode?

Yes. Adding a temperature probe does not replace the host’s pH or conductivity calibration procedure. Prepare and calibrate the analytical electrode as its instructions require.
