Chapter III
Calibration
pH Calibration
The meter is capable of calibrating up to 3 points using USA or NIST (nSt) pH buffer
standards or 2 points with Low Ionic (Pb) pH buffer standard. All new calibration
values will automatically override existing data.
USA pH 4.01, 7.00 and 10.01
NIST pH 4.01, 6.86 and 9.18
Pb pH 4.10 and 6.97
It is recommended that you perform at least a 2-point calibration at room temperature
(25 ˚C) using standard buffers, starting with the first buffer at pH 7.00 (USA), pH 6.86
(NIST) or pH 6.97 (Pb) followed by other buffer values.
A 1-point calibration should be performed with a pH buffer value closest to the
expected sample value being measured. Otherwise calibrating at pH 7.00, pH 6.86 or
pH 6.97 is advisable.
The meter has automatic buffer recognition that identifies the correct pH buffer values
during calibration. If non-standard pH buffers other than the above standards are
used, or the electrode has worn out, the LCD will flash “Er1”. Press the to abort
calibration and resume measurement. In general all pH buffer values have the window
of up to ± 1 pH tolerance during calibration.
Ensure that you use new pH buffer solutions or sachets during calibration. Do not
reuse buffer solutions as it may be contaminated and affect the calibration and
accuracy of measurements. Always store buffer solutions in a dry, cool environment.
Before use, remove the plastic protective cap of pH electrode and condition the glass
bulb by soaking it in tap water for 1-2 hours. This hydrates the glass bulb if electrode
is too dry or has not been used for a long period of time. Always rinse the probes with
tap water or rinse solution before and after each calibration/sample measurement
to avoid cross-contamination. For details refer to Chapter V, Electrode care and
maintenance.

Electrode Care and Maintenance
For best results, always keep the pH/ORP electrode bulb wet. Store the pH/ORP glass
bulb with pH electrode storage solution. Other pH buffers are also suitable. NEVER
use deionized water for storage. Wash the probe thoroughly with distilled water after
each use. Because your pH electrode is susceptible to contamination or dirt, clean it
every 1 to 2 months depending on the extent and condition of use.
Clean the pH/ORP electrode using a mild detergent. Wipe the probe with a soft tissue
paper. Avoid touching the glass membrane with your fingers. Wash thoroughly in tap
water and then in distilled water. Recalibrate the meter after cleaning the electrode.
