Note The electrode should be submerged ap-
proximately 4 cm (1
1
/
2
’’) in the solu-
tion. The temperature probe has to be
located as close as possible to the pH
electrode.
Note When it is not possible to immerse the Potential Matching Pin
together with the pH electrode in the solution, disable the
differential input by setting setup item I.04 to “OFF”.
• When the reading becomes stable,
the probe indicator will stop flash-
ing (after about 30 seconds), and if
the pH value is close to the selected
buffer, the “CFM” indicator will start
blinking, otherwise the “WRONG”
indicator, the pot and the BUF tags
will start blinking.
• Press the CFM key to confirm calibration. The meter will
show the scrolling message “Press CFM again to confirm
the current buffer or right to escape” (to prevent from con-
firming the calibration point inadvertently).
Pressing again CFM, the secondary LCD will display the
second expected buffer value.
• In the second case (pH value not close to the buffer) the
meter will remain in the same state until the reading be-
comes unstable or the calibration mode is quitted.
• For the second buffer value it is possible to choose be-
tween pH 4.01 and pH 10.01 (or pH 4.01 and pH 9.18 if
the NIST set has been selected). Use the or key to
switch between the two possibilities.
• Once selected the buffer, the procedure is the same as for
the first calibration point.
Note A time-out of 1.5 minutes is present for the pH electrode
response time. During calibration, if the pH reading is not
stable after 1.5 minutes, the device displays twice the scroll-
