Notes on ion calibration

 

6.3.1

 

Ion calibration can be conducted with 1 point, 2 points or 3 points calibration. 

(a)  1-point  calibration: refer to  Section  6.3.2,  press          and  go  back  to  the  measurement  mode 
after the 1

st

 point calibration. The bottom left of LCD indicates        . Note that the default slope is 

90%, suitable for low measurement of low accuracy requirement.

 

(b) 2 points calibration: refer to Section 6.3.3, press          and go back to the measurement mode 
after the 2

nd

 point calibration. The bottom left of LCD indicates                  . For most of the cases, 2 

points  calibration  will  be  good  enough  if  the  measurement  value  is  between  the  two  calibration 
points.

 

(c) 3 points calibration: refer to Section 6.3.4, the meter goes back to the measurement mode after 
the  3rd  point  calibration.  The  bottom  left  of  LCD  indicates                ,    suitable  for  wide 
measurement ranges.

 

6.3.2

 

Ion concentration calibration is suggested to be performed from low concentration to high 
concentration, so that when calibration the second and the third point, the electrode 
doesn't have to be rinsed and the solution contamination can be avoided.   

6.3.3

 

Calibration error reminder 

Ion electrode calibration may fail often. The reason could be calibration solution error, the quality 
problem of the ion electrode or the improper operation. Such errors are not easy to be found, but 
they can cause errors and could be misleading. The meter will automatically calculate the slope 
when calibrating the 2nd and the 3rd points. When the slope is less than 75%, LCD will display                   
error indicator. See Diagram - 12, when pressing                to calibrate            becomes          , 
indicating that calibration fails. When this happens, please check the solution, electrode and the 
calibration method and then re-calibrate or reset the meter to factory default and then re-
calibrate.

 

 

6.3.4

 

Ion calibration will not automatically recognize solution. If 
there's calibration error, press          key to exit and then re-
calibrate. User can also "reset to factory default setting" 
(select Yes in parameter setting P5.3), then calibrate again.   

 

6.3.5

 

The ion calibration solution has no buffer and could easily 
be contaminated, especially the low ion-concentration 
solutions. Therefore, the calibration solution must be 
prepared very carefully. Make sure all clean to prevent 
contamination.
