10.8.3  pH Sensor Product Calibration 

It is possible to adjust the calibration curve to the current process 

conditions using product calibration. This could be necessary if 

there is a possibility of drift of the displayed pH during a long-term 

cultivation, for example. 
 

  INFORMATION 

Product calibration can only be carried out and is only effective if 

the externally measured and entered pH value does not deviate 

from the original pH value by more than 2 pH units. 

 
Proceed as follows for a product calibration: 
 

Procedure

 

1.

  Call up the calibration menu of the pH parameter and wait for 

the short initialisation phase to complete. 

 

  INFORMATION 

The various menu displays of the initial calibration menu are not 

displayed in detail in this section, they are shown in “Calibrating 

the pH Sensor - Procedure”. 

 

 

2.

  In the menu display that follows the initialisation phase, press 

PRODUCT CALIBRATION

 

 

The menu display changes and now displays the following:
