• Pour a small quantity of the standard solution into a clean beaker. If possible, use plastic beakers to
minimize any EMC interferences.
• For accurate calibration and to minimize cross-contamination, use two beakers for each standard solution.
One for rinsing the probe and one for calibration.
• Insert the probe in the rinse beaker.
• Swirl probe in this solution. Raise and lower 3 times to fill cell with solution.
• Insert the probe in the second beaker.
• Swirl and tap probe to remove air bubbles. Raise and lower 3 times to ensure representative sample.
• Enter calibration mode by pressing
.
• Wait to stabilize.
• If automatic standard recognition was selected in Setup, a calibration point will be automatically
displayed from the Hanna standard list (84 µS/cm, 1413 µS/cm, 5.0 mS/cm, 12.88 mS/cm, 80.0 mS/
cm, 111.8 mS/cm). The user can also select another standard value by using
and
.
• If User Standard was selected in Setup, a pop-up will prompt for the custom standard value.
• Press
to finish the calibration or
to abort calibration.
• The probe should be rinsed in deionized water.
• Shake off excess water.
Note
: The calculated cell constant will be used for the whole range.
Multi-Point Calibration
• Up to 4 calibration points can be performed in order to
increase the measurement accuracy over a larger measurement
range.
• Select the multi point calibration (see
Conductivity Setup
→
Calibration).
• Repeat the steps from the single point calibration for each
measurement range. The meter will calculate a cell constant
corresponding to each calibration point.
• Press
to exit calibration mode.
Note
: For each range the corresponding cell constant will be
displayed.
CELL CONSTANT CALIBRATION (edited by the user)
• A known value of the probe cell constant can be set by the user for the whole range (see
Conductivity
Setup
→
Cell Constant section). Using a known cell constant is another way to calibrate the meter/probe
system.
Note:
When a cell constant value is used, the solution calibration will be cleared. A solution calibration can
still be made after entering a cell constant value.
