7. Temperature Calibration

7.1 Calibration Procedure

1. Plug the Dissolved Oxygen/Temperature sensor into the

Dissolved

Oxygen

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.

> 25.0< 20

∗∗

↑↑↓↓

:Set F1: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.

7.2 Calibration Notes

1. Temperature calibration information is retained in memory when the

WP-91

is switched off, even when the battery is removed. This

information can be recalled or printed later using the GLP function
(see section 10).

2. Temperature does not need to be recalibrated unless the sensor is

replaced or the meter is initialised.
