The identity of the sodium wet-section being calibrated

Sodium
only is displayed).
Sensor Calibration
Low Calibration
Performs a single-point offset calibration using the low standard
calibration solution. The default calibration time is 15 minutes and is
followed by a Recovery period.
The active offset value is adjusted after this calibration. This calibration
adjusts for any drift in the reading and should be performed weekly or
as required.
Note
: During the calibration the sample is directed to drain via the
sample stream valve.
15 min.
High Calibration
Performs a single-point span calibration using the high standard
calibration solution. The default calibration time is 15 minutes and is
followed by a
Recovery
period.
The active offset value is adjusted after this calibration.
Note
: During the calibration the sample is directed to drain via the
sample stream valve.
15 min.
Two-Point Cal
Performs a two-point calibration.
Runs both a low calibration and a high calibration. The total default
calibration time is 30 minutes and is followed by a
Recovery
period.
The active offset value and slope are calculated after this calibration.
This calibration compensates for any drift in the reading and changes
in the sensitivity and should be performed weekly or as required.
If the slope is calculated to be less than 80 % or greater than 110 %
the calibration has failed, a
Cal Failed
diagnostic appears and the offset
and slope are not updated.
Note
: During the calibration the sample is directed to drain via the
sample stream valve.
30 min.
Regeneration Cycle
Displayed only if
Regeneration Fitted
is enabled.
Performs a regeneration automatically followed by a two-point
calibration. The regeneration procedure energizes the regeneration
valve (if fitted) for 1 minute to expose the electrode to the regeneration
solution.
A regeneration recovery period is then initiated, which last for 2 hours.
The recovery period is followed by a two-point calibration.
Refer to Section 5.7, page 28 for more details of the
Regeneration
procedure.
