10.3. Calibration Error Codes
If the Aquameter detects a problem with either the Aquaprobe or the calibration solution
during the calibration procedure, an error will be indicated accompanied by an error code
number. The chart below shows the possible errors and how to correct them.
Error Code
Problem
Action
Error 01
pH Electrode is less than 85% efficient
Error 02
Full re-calibration required or Optical DO Cap
needs replacing (AP-900 & AP-1000 only)
See
note below.
Error 06
Battery Voltage is too low for reliable calibration Replace the batteries
Error 07
The Probe is not responding
Check connections / cycle power
Error 08
Readings are unstable
Top up / replace the RapidCal
Error 09
Readings are outside calibration limits
Lower Probe Sleeve is not fitted
Top up / replace the RapidCal.
Ensure both halves of the Probe
Sleeve are fitted and tight.
Error 11
Temperature is outside 5
°
C – 40
°
C limit
Warm / cool the RapidCal
Error 2 during Optical DO Zero calibration usually indicates that the DO Cap needs
replacing. Perform a full DO calibration first at DO Zero then at 100% DO. If that does not
cure the problem, replace the DO Cap (see
Replacing the Optical DO Cap (AP-900 & AP-
in section 14)
.
If the corrective actions shown above for Errors 08 and 09 do not work, thoroughly clean
the Probe and try again. If Error 09 persists, reset the calibration values to Factory Defaults
then try again. If Error 09 persists when calibrating a Galvanic DO sensor, replace the DO
Electrode Membrane Cap (see
Replacing the Galvanic DO Electrode Membrane Cap
in
section 14). If Error 09 persists when calibrating EC, check you are using the correct EC
Calibration Standard and that both halves of the Probe Sleeve are fitted and tight.
Remember:
Both halves of the Probe sleeve form an integral, working part of the
Probe’s measurement system, and MUST be fitted during calibration and
measurement for correct operation.
If you try to calibrate the Probe without the both
halves of the sleeve fitted, you will get an error message.
10.4. Resetting to Factory Calibration Defaults
In some cases, if there has been a serious calibration error, the easiest way to rectify the
situation is to reset the Probe to its factory defaults. To do this, first bring up the Calibration
screen:
Calibration
RapidCal
DO 100%
Full Cal
Select Full Cal. This will give you a choice of three electrodes:
