5.2 Calibration Notes
1.
A 1-point calibration should be performed at least weekly. In applications
where the electrode 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
WP-90
is
switched off, even when the battery is removed. This information can be
recalled or printed later using the GLP function (see section 9).
4.
The
WP-90
displays the value of the pH buffer to which it will attempt to
calibrate. Ensure that the buffer value displayed corresponds to the buffer
that you are using.
5.3 Calibration Messages
1.
If a 1-point Calibration has been successfully performed, the
WP-90
will
display the following message, and the asymmetry value of the sensor. For
example…
1 Point Cal.OK
Asy=0.10pH
2.
If a 1-Point Calibration has failed, the
WP-90
will display the following
message, and the failed asymmetry value of the sensor. For example…
1 Point Cal.Fail
Asy=1.50pH
3.
If a 2-Point Calibration has been successfully performed, the
WP-90
will
display the following message, and the asymmetry and slope values of the
sensor. For example…
2 Point Cal.OK
Asy=0.10pH
then:
2 Point Cal.OK
Slope= 99.0%
4.
If a Secondary Calibration has failed, the
WP-90
will display the following
message, and the failed slope value of the sensor. For example…
2 Point Cal.Fail
Slope= 70.0%
or:
2 Point Cal.Fail
Slope=130.0%
Notes
1.
The allowable Asymmetry range is –1.00pH to +1.00pH.
2.
The allowable Slope range is 85.0% to 105.0%.
