2.3  Rinse the pH electrode with distilled water, place the electrode 
 

(and temperature probe) into the next buffer solution (e.g., pH 

 

4.01). 

 

 

 

 

 
2.4  Press the 

Enter

 key, the meter automatically recognizes the   

 

buffer solution and begins the calibration. 

 

 

 

 
2.5  When the mV reading has stabilized, the screen will show

   

 

"Calibration Point 3"

 

, the meter prompts you to continue with 

 

third point calibration. 

2.6   Repeat the steps 2.3 and 2.4 above until the meter returns to the 
 

measurement mode. Calibration is completed. 

 

 

 

 

pH Calibration with Custom Buffers 

3.1  Ensure that you have selected the 

Custom

 option in the setup 

 

menu, the buffer solutions should be at least 1 pH unit apart from 

 

each other. 

3.2  Rinse the pH electrode with distilled water, place the electrode 
 

(and temperature probe) into the buffer solution, stir gently and 

 

wait until the measurement is stable. 

3.3  Press the 

Cal

 key, the status bar shows "Setting the calibration 

 

value". 

3.4  Press the 

 / 

 key to set the value, press the 

Enter

 key to 

 

begin the calibration. 

3.5  When the mV reading has stabilized, the status bar will show 
 

"Setting the calibration value" again, the meter prompts you to 

 

continue with second point calibration. 

 

 

 

3.6  Repeat the steps 3.2 and 3.4 above until the meter returns to the 
 

measurement mode. Calibration is completed. 

 

 

  If the calculated electrode slope is not between 70% to 110% 

 

after the calibration, the pH electrode should be replaced. 

  To exit the calibration without saving changes, press the 

ESC 

 

key. 

 

Viewing the Calibration Log 

4.1  Press the 

MR

 key, the screen shows a Data Log Menu. 

4.2  Press the 

Enter

 key to view the calibration report. 

 

 

 

 
4.3  Press the 

ESC 

key to return to the measurement mode. 

 

 

If the meter is not calibrated or custom buffer is used, the calibration 
report will be unavailable.
