GOOD LABORATORY PRACTICE (GLP)

GLP is a set of functions that allows data storage (and
retrieval) about the electrode status and maintenance.
All data regarding pH and relative mV calibrations are
stored in the instrument memory.
To enter GLP mode, press SHIFT and then GLP key.
If no calibration has been performed, the “no CAL”
message will blink.

CALIBRATION TIME-OUT ALARM

The instrument allows to set the number of days (from
1 to 7) before the next required pH calibration. The
default setting is “OFF” (disabled).
At start-up the instrument checks if the calibration time-out
has expired. If yes, the “CAL DUE” message blinks to
advise the user that a new calibration is required.

SETUP

Setup mode allows viewing and modifying the following
parameters:

Calibration alarm time-out

One-point calibration behavior

Temperature measure unit

Current date (yyyy.mm.dd)

Current time (hh:mm)

Printer status

 (

AD132

 only)

Auto-off

Baud rate 

(serial communication, 

AD132

 only)

Command prefix

 (serial communication, 

AD132

 only)

Instrument ID

• To enter SETUP mode, from measurement mode press

SHIFT and then SETUP.

• Press CAL to change the

item value. The selected
item (e.g. hour, while
setting the time) and
“CFM” tag will blink.

• Use the arrow keys to

scroll the available values.
