The pH calibration can not be performed if the pH electrode
is broken or leaking or the reference electrode is broken or
dirty and an error is active. The ORP calibration can not be
performed if the “Reference electrode broken or dirty” error is
active. The temperature probe should be connected to the
instrument.
Initial Preparation
Pour small quantities of pH 7.01 (HI 7007) and pH 4.01
(HI 7004) or pH 10.01 (HI 7010) solutions into individual
beakers. If possible, use plastic beakers to minimize any EMC
interference.
For accurate calibration use different beakers for each buffer
solution, the first one for rinsing the electrode and the second
one for calibration. By doing this, contamination between
buffers is minimized.
• Enter the calibration mode, select
the pH calibration (by moving
through the menu with the and
keys), then press the CFM key.
• Choose the pH buffer set between the two available ones:
the standard set (4.01, 7.01, 10.01) and the NIST set (4.01,
6.86, 9.18). For the standard set confirm the “Std”; for the
NIST set confirm the “niSt” (use the and keys for select
between the two options).
The default buffer set is the one used for last calibration,
even if the procedure was not completed.
• Once confirmed the set of buffer val-
ues, the primary LCD shows the
measured pH value, while the second-
ary LCD displays the first required buffer
value.
Two-point calibration
• Remove the protective cap from the pH electrode and im-
merse it into the buffer solution (e.g. pH 7.01) together
with the Potential Matching Pin and the temperature probe,
then stir gently.
