4. Calibration Mode   

4.1  Preparing the Monitor & Electrode for Calibration 

Before starting calibration, make sure that the pH Monitor is in appropriate 
measurement mode (pH or ORP). When the monitor is switched on, it starts 
up with the measurement mode last used. For example, if the pH Monitor is 
switched off in ORP measurement mode, it starts up in ORP mode when it is 
switched on. (Refer Section 5.5 for switching measurement modes) 
Be sure to remove the protective electrode storage bottle or rubber cap of the 
electrode before calibration or measurement. If the electrode has been stored 
dry, wet the electrode in tap water for 10 minutes before calibrating or taking 
readings to saturate the pH electrode surface and minimize drift.  
Rinse the electrode in de-ionized water after use, and store in electrode 
storage solution. If storage solution is not available, use pH 4.01 or 7.00 
buffer solution.  
Do not reuse buffer solutions after calibration. Contaminants in the solution 
can affect the calibration, and the accuracy of the measurements.  
The pH Monitor features two internationally recognized pH buffer standards. 
Select the buffer standard you require in the setup mode. (Refer Section 5.4) 
Available buffer options are: 

•

  USA buffers --- pH  4.01, 1.68, 7.00, 10.01 and 12.45 

•

  NIST buffers --- pH 4.01, 1.68, 6.86, 9.18 and 12.45 

4.2  Entering pH/ORP Calibration Mode  

While in measurement mode, press the 

CAL

 key to access calibration mode. 

LCD indicates ‘

CAL PH

’ (when measurement mode is pH) or ‘

CAL OrP

’ 

(when measurement mode is ORP).
