3.2 Calibration 

The Digital C-FLUOR Probe is factory calibrated and the calibration values are 
stored in memory.  The probe can be re-calibrated by users via software if site-
specific calibrations are desired for increased accuracy.  New calibration values 
will be stored in memory without overwriting or erasing factory calibration values.  
This allows users to restore factory calibration values if desired.   
 

Note:  Restoring factory calibration values will erase all customer 
calibration values. 

 
To calibrate Digital C-

FLUOR you’ll need the following: 

PC with Digital C-FLUOR Software 

RS-232 Programming Cable P/N 2120-160 

12-Volt Power Supply P/N 7000-941 

Blank solution 

Standard solution of known concentration 

Blackened or dark 500 ml beaker/container 

 

3.2.1   Calibrating the Digital C-FLUOR Probe   

1)  See section 2.4 Functional Test for Digital C-FLUOR with connector 

on how to connect to your computer. 

2) 

Click the “Calibration” tab. 

3)  Enter the known concentration of your Standard Solution in the 

Concentration Value box

.  Note:  Only values greater than 1 are 

valid.

  

 
 

 

 
 
 
 
 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

4)  Fill your 500 ml beaker with blank solution. 
5) 

Submerge the probe’s optical head no more than an inch below the 
surface of the blank solution.  See Appendix B for recommended lab 
practices.
