Calibration
5.2.1
Why calibrate?
pH electrodes age. This changes the zero point (asymmetry) and slope of the
pH electrode. As a result, an inexact measured value is displayed. Calibration
determines and stores the current values of the zero point and slope of the
electrode.
Thus, you should calibrate at regular intervals.
5.2.2
When do you have to calibrate?
After connecting a sensor
Routinely within the framework of the company quality assurance
When the calibration interval has expired
5.2.3
Automatic calibration (AutoCal)
Make sure that in the sensor menu,
Buffer
menu, the buffer set is correctly
45).
Use any one to five buffer solutions of the selected buffer set in ascending or
descending order.
Below, calibration with Technical buffers (
TEC
) is described. When other buffer
sets are used, other nominal buffer values are displayed. Apart from that, the
procedure is identical.
If single-point calibration was set in the menu, the calibration proce-
dure is automatically finished with the measurement of buffer solu-
tion 1 and the calibration record is displayed.
1.
Connect the pH electrode to the meter.
2.
When measuring without temperature sensor:
– Temper the buffer solution, or measure the current temperature.
– Enter the temperature value with
<
> <
>
.
3.
In the measured value display, select the measured parameter pH or mV
with
<M>
.
4.
Start the calibration with
<CAL>
.
The calibration display for the first buffer appears (voltage display).
