CALIBRATION

Before beginning the calibration procedure, locate the two 

calibration solutions and keep them close to the meter. If 

the calibration is not performed quickly, the meter will return 

to test mode and the calibration will not hold. While this 

does not damage the meter, the calibration will have to be 

performed again.
1.  Remove the 0NTU and 100NTU bottles from their 

protective cases. Tighten both caps and shake the bottles 

gently to ensure they are properly mixed.

2.  Clean the outside of both bottles to ensure there are no 

fingerprints on the glass. Fingerprints or dirt on the glass 

will alter the readings, so it is critical to handle the bottles 

by the cap from this point on.

3. Turn the meter on.
4.  Press and hold the 

TEST/CAL

 button until CAL appears 

on the screen. 

5.  Let go of the TEST/CAL button. The screen will display 

0.0, prompting for the 0NTU standard solution. You will 

have 20 seconds to perform the next step or the meter will 

exit calibration mode and return to test mode.
