13.
The default values of the offset and slope are displayed along with the calculated values for the
last and current calibration.
14.
A message is displayed indicating the success or failure of the calibration.
One point calibration
This process requires that a calibration solution of known sodium concentration is available. Refer to
Calibration solution concentrations
on page 19 for information regarding the concentration of the
calibration solution.
1.
Select the
MAN.OFFSET CAL
option to start the one point calibration process.
2.
If necessary, enter the concentration of the calibration solution, and select
START
to initiate the
calibration process. Then, provided the reactivation frequency parameter is not zero (as is highly
recommended), the electrode is reactivated. On completion this is followed by a rinsing of the
overflow vessel.
3.
When prompted, fill the overflow vessel with the calibration solution and select
OK
to start the
measurement.
4.
The calibration solution is measured and the results displayed.
5.
Once the final measurement is stable, the offset for the calibration is calculated.
6.
A message is displayed indicating the success or failure of the calibration.
Two point calibration
This process requires that two calibration solutions of known sodium concentrations are available.
Refer to
Calibration solution concentrations
on page 19 for information regarding the concentrations
of the calibration solution.
1.
Select the
MAN.SLOPE CAL
option to start the two point calibration process.
2.
If necessary, enter the concentrations of the calibration solution, and select
START
to initiate the
calibration process. Then, provided the reactivation frequency parameter is not zero (as is highly
recommended), the electrode is reactivated. On completion this is followed by a rinsing of the
overflow vessel.
3.
The process is then very similar to the one-point calibration above, except after the instrument
measures the low value calibration solution, the overflow vessel will be rinsed and you will be
asked to fill it with the high value calibration solution.
4.
A message is displayed indicating the success or failure of the calibration.
Automatic calibration setup
This allows the analyzer to be automatically calibrated at pre-defined and regular intervals.
The process is the same as described in
on page 20 except it is initiated
automatically at the pre-defined time.
1.
Select the
AUTO. CAL. SETUP
option to access its sub-menu and set the calibration
parameters.
2.
Turn the automatic calibration on or off by selecting
Yes
or
No
as appropriate. Note that even if
this is set to
Yes
, it is still possible to calibrate the analyzer manually if required.
3. CAL.SOL
defines the concentration of the calibration solution. Refer to
on page 19 for information regarding the concentration of the calibration solution.
4. MODE
can either be set up to a fixed date or to a specified
Frequency
.
5.
If the mode is set to
fixed date
, enter the day(s) of the
WEEK
when the calibration will be
performed. Set the day to an asterisk to skip that day.
6.
Set the
HOUR
field (HH:MM:SS format on a 24 hour clock) to the time the automatic calibration
should start.
