RINSE
For accurate calibration, use two beakers for each buffer
solution, the first one for rinsing the electrode, the second
one for calibration. By doing this, contamination between
the buffers is minimized.
To obtain accurate readings, use pH 7.01 and pH 4.01 if
you measure acidic samples, or pH 7.01 and pH 10.01 for
alkaline measurements or perform a 3-point calibration for
the entire range.
One Point Calibration (Offset)
To perform the pH calibration enter
the calibration mode, by pressing
CAL and entering the password.
After the correct password is entered,
the control actions stop and the pri-
mary LCD will display the pH value
using the current offset and slope,
with the "CAL" and "
BUF
1
" indicators lit
and the probe indicator " " blink-
ing. The value displayed on the
secondary LCD is the buffer value
at the actual temperature.
Note The actual pH value varies with temperature, thus the cali-
bration value displayed on the secondary LCD will vary around
pH 4.01, 7.01 and 10.01 with temperature changes: for ex-
ample at 25
o
C the display shows 4.01 - 7.01 - 10.01, at 20
o
C it shows 4.00 - 7.03 - 10.06 (see page 57 for other val-
ues).
pH 7.01 is the default value for
the 1
st
calibration buffer. If a dif-
ferent value is needed, select it
on the secondary display by
pressing or .
Note If the wrong password is entered the system reverts back and
restarts displaying the pH value.
