4.2 pH Calibration Notes

1. A 1-point calibration should be performed at least weekly. In

applications where the sensor junction can become blocked, such as
dairy products, mining slurries etc, a 1-point calibration may have to
be done daily.

2. A full 2-point calibration should be performed at least monthly. Of

course, more frequent calibration will result in greater confidence in
results.

3. All calibration information is retained in memory when the

Aqua-CPA

is switched off, even when the battery is removed.

4. The

Aqua-CPA

displays the value of the pH buffer that it has

attempted to recognise at calibration. Ensure that the buffer value
displayed corresponds to the buffer that you are using.

4.3 pH Calibration Messages

1. If a 1-point calibration has been successfully performed, the

Aqua-CPA

will display the following message, and then display the

asymmetry and slope of the sensor. If the meter has not been
calibrated at two points at this stage, the slope is set to 100.0%.

1 point 6.86
Cal. OK

then:

Asym= 0.10pH
Slope=100.0%

2. If a 1-point calibration has failed, the

Aqua-CPA

will display the

following message, then the failed asymmetry value of the sensor.

1 point 6.86
Cal. Failed

then:

Asym= 1.50pH

3. If a 2-point calibration has been successfully performed, the

Aqua-CPA

will display the following message, and then the

asymmetry and slope of the sensor.

2 point 4.01
Cal. OK

then:

Asym= 0.10pH
Slope= 99.5%

4. If a 2-point calibration has failed, the

Aqua-CPA

will display the

following message, and then the failed slope value of the sensor.

2 point 4.01
Cal. Failed

then:

Slope= 70.0%
