The Meter will wait until the readings are stable, then it will send the calibration command
to the Probe, where the calibration takes place. During calibration, the Calibrating screen is
displayed and the progress counter counts up. If the calibration is successful, the counter
will reach 100% and the following screen will be displayed.

    Output:348mV

     Press [OK]

The Calibration Report on the top line displays the voltage output from the ISE electrode in
millivolts (mV).  This value is stored in the Probe's memory and can be recalled at any time.

 repeatedly

to return to normal reading mode

.

Point 2

1. Remove the probe from the 10ppm solution and wash thoroughly in deionised water.

Dry the probe then drop it into to the warm 

100ppm

 solution.

2. Stir  the   probe   until   the  temperature  and   NH4  readings   are  completely  stable.   A

minimum of five minutes is recommended. 

3.

Ensure the temperature of the solution is within 1ºC of the previous 10ppm
calibration point. 

If the solution is warmer or cooler than this, calibration will fail.

4. Referring to steps 4-7 above, select Pt-2 and press OK. 

The Meter will wait until the readings are stable, then it will send the calibration command
to the Probe, where the calibration takes place. During calibration, the Calibrating screen is
displayed   and   the   progress   counter   counts   up   as   shown   above.   If   the   calibration   is
successful, the counter will reach 100% and the calibration report screen will be displayed.

If   the   temperature   of   the   100ppm   solution   is   more   than  1ºC   different   from   the   Pt-1
calibration temperature, an OUT OF TEMP RANGE calibration error will be reported. If this
happens, adjust the temperature and try again. 

Point 3

1. Remove   the   probe   from   the   100ppm   solution   and   wash   thoroughly   in   deionised

water. Dry the probe then drop it into to the 

cool 10ppm

 solution.

2. Stir  the   probe   until   the  temperature  and   NH4  readings   are  completely  stable.   A

minimum of five minutes is recommended. 

3.

Ensure   the   temperature   of   the   solution   is   at   least   10ºC   cooler   than   the
previous 100ppm calibration point. 

If the solution is too warm, calibration will fail.

4. Referring to steps 4-7 above, select Pt-3 and press OK.

The Meter will wait until the readings are stable, then it will send the calibration command
to the Probe, where the calibration takes place. During calibration, the Calibrating screen is
displayed   and   the   progress   counter   counts   up   as   shown   above.   If   the   calibration   is
successful, the counter will reach 100% and the calibration report screen will be displayed.

If the temperature of the cool 10ppm solution is less than 10ºC cooler than the Pt-1 and Pt-
2 calibration temperatures, an OUT OF TEMP RANGE calibration error will be reported. If
this happens, adjust the temperature and try again.
