8. Temperature Calibration
The temperature readout must be calibrated or manually set before attempting
Specific Ion or pH calibration. The decimal point is replaced by a “
∗
” if the
reading is not calibrated.
8.1 Calibration Procedure
1.
Plug the Temperature sensor into the
Temperature
socket.
2.
Switch the meter on.
3.
Place the sensor into a beaker of room temperature water, alongside a good
quality mercury thermometer. Stir the sensor and the thermometer gently to
ensure an even temperature throughout the beaker.
4.
Select Temperature Calibration (
→
→
F1:Cal.
→
→
F2:Temp
).
5.
The reading from the probe is now displayed on the right of the display, and
the value you are going to set is shown on the left. A “
∗
” in the reading
indicates that the
WP-90
is currently not calibrated. For example…
→
→
25.0

←
24*0

:
Cal.
6.
When the reading on the right has stabilised, press the
and
keys
until the reading on the left shows the same temperature as the mercury
thermometer.
7.
Press the
key to calibrate the temperature readout.
The
∗
will now be replaced by a decimal point, if calibration was successful.
Alternatively, press the
key to abort temperature calibration.
8.
The
WP-90
is now calibrated for Temperature and is ready for use. The unit
can now be calibrated for Specific Ions and pH.
