DESCRIPTION 

 

POSSIBLE CORRECTION

 

pH Cal Fail 

Failure of pH calibration. 

  Clean sensor, get fresh cal solutions, 

regenerate sensor (if necessary) and redo 
calibration.  If still failure, sensor slope may 
be less than 80% or offset may be out of 
range.  Perform sensor tests as described 
in sensor manual.  Replace sensor if still 
failure. 

TC Cal Fail 

Failure of temperature calibration. 

  Clean sensor, check cal solution 

temperature and repeat sensor temp 
calibration.  TC calibration function only 
allows adjustments of +/- 6 ºC.  If still 
failure, perform sensor tests as described 
in sensor manual.  Replace sensor if still 
failure.   

Eeprom Fail 

Internal nonvolatile memory failure 

  System failure, consult factory. 

Chcksum Fail 

Internal software storage error. 

  System failure, consult factory. 

Display Fail 

Internal display driver fail. 

  System failure, consult factory. 

mV Cal Fail 

Failure of factory temperature 
calibration. 

  Consult factory.
