pH CALIBRATION
The instrument should be recalibrated:
• Whenever the pH electrode is replaced
• At least once a week
• After testing aggressive chemicals
• If the “CAL DUE” message blinks during measurement
PREPARATION
Pour small quantities of the buffer solutions into clean
beakers. If possible, use plastic beakers to minimize any
EMC interferences.
For accurate calibration, use two beakers for each buffer
solution: the first one for rinsing the electrode and the
second for calibration.
If you are measuring in the acidic range, use pH 4.01 or
1.68 as second buffer. If you are measuring in the alkaline
range, use 10.01/9.18 or 12.45 as second buffer.
For extended range measurements (acidic and alkaline),
perform a five-point calibration by selecting five of the
available buffers.
