Flat surface ROSS pH electrodes may be used on any
moist surface or in liquids.
Using a Flat Surface Electrode
Electrode Calibration
General Calibration Procedure
For detailed instructions on pH calibration, manual pH calibration and
temperature compensation, consult your meter user guide. When
using ROSS electrodes with a
V
ersa
s
tar
pH/LogR meter, refer to the
V
ersa
s
tar
pH/LogR meter user guide for instructions on temperature
calibration and LogR temperature compensated pH measurements.
Note:
If the meter is set to automatically recognize the pH buffer at the
measured temperature and an ATC probe is used, you do not need to
manually adjust the pH values of the buffers.
One Buffer Calibration
1. Choose a buffer near expected sample pH.
2. The buffer should be at same temperature as the sample. If the
buffer and samples are at varying temperatures, temperature
compensation is recommended.
3. Prepare the meter according to the meter user guide.
4. Rinse the electrode first with distilled water and then with the buffer
being used for calibration.
