Er 1 

pH electrode offset is greater/less 
than +/-1.5 pH. 

STAND was pressed before the 
electrode and ATC/Temp probe settle 
to within ±1.5 pH of the buffer value. 

pH electrode is faulty 

Replace the buffer and/or 
the pH electrode. Press ESC.

Allow sufficient time for the 
electrode and ATC/Temp 
probe to stabilize. 

Return for service. 

Er 2 

pH electrode slope is off by more 
than 30% of ideal slope. 

SLOPE was pressed before the 
electrode and ATC/Temp probe 
settled to within 30% of the buffer 
value. 

Buffer 4.00, 4.01, 9.18 or 10.01 is not 
correct. 

Check that the correct buffer 
is used and that the 
electrode slope is not off by 
more than 30% from the 
theoretical slope.

Allow sufficient time for the 
electrode and ATC/Temp 
probe to stabilize. 

Replace the buffer and/or 
the pH electrode. Press ESC. 

Return for service. 

Er 3 

Temperature is out of the 0.0 to 60.0 
°C range. 

Bring the buffer temperature 
within range. 

Return for service.

OvEr/Undr 

Measured pH is out of the 16.00/-2.00 
pH range. 

Measured mV is out of the 1250/-
2000 mV range. 

Measured temperature is out of the
-10/120 °C range. 

Bring the out of range unit 
into the correct measuring 
range.

If units are within proper 
range, return product for 
service.
