Possible cause
Suggested remedy
E0
Temperature of the buffer liquids is
Buffer liquid is too hot
Cool buffer liquid
out of range of 0 to 50 °C
Bufer liquid is too cold
Warm buffer liquid
E1
Measurement has not stabilized
Electrodes are fouled
Clean electrodes
during calibration
Glass electrode too slow
Use other type (faster)
Wrong type of glass electrode
Use other type
E2
Calculated asymmetry potential out
Calibration at pH 7 incorrect
Recalibrate at pH 7
of range of -120 to +120 mV
Check if buffer solution is fresh
E3
Calculated slope is out of range of
Glass electrode has aged
Replace glass electrode
70 to 110 % theoretical value
Bad isolation on input
Dry or replace cable
E4*
Impedance of glass electrode too low
Glass electrode cracked or broken
Replace glass electrode
E5*
Impedance of glass electrode too high
Glass electrode coated or fouled

Process temperature too low
Warm process or use sample loop
i.e. below -10 °C
Wrong temperature sensor used
Correct setting (§7-4)
Short circuit in temperature input
Check connections and sensor
E9*
Measured value is out of pH range
Temperature element broken
Replace temperature sensor
of -1 to 15 pH
Temperature sensor disconnected
Set temperature to manual
E10* EEPROM write error
