5.2 Absolute Millivolt Calibration
This calibration procedure uses a Redox/ORP sensor and ZoBell calibration as examples. For
other types of sensors (eg. ISE’s) and solutions, please substitute them when carrying out this
procedure.
1.
Plug the Redox sensor into the
pH/mV/Ion
BNC socket. Temperature compensation is not
applicable for Millivolt mode, so it is not necessary to connect a Temperature sensor. Switch
the meter on.
2.
Select Millivolt mode (see section 5.1).
3.
Remove the wetting cap from the sensor, if fitted. Rinse the sensor in distilled water and blot
dry.
4.
Place the sensor into a small sample of known millivolt solution so that the platinum tip and
reference junction are both covered as per the diagram below. ZoBell Redox standard can be
made with a 1:1 mixture of Part A and Part B. This solution produces +231mV of Redox
potential.
Caution: ZoBell solution is poisonous and should be handled with care.
