pH uncalibration
This function sets the instrument calibration back to the factory calibrated value and closely
matches that of an ideal electrode. Uncalibrate is useful as a temporary measure when the pH
electrode is replaced and on the spot recalibration is difficult or when a calibrating error exists
due to incorrect calibration. To enter the uncalibrate mode follow the procedure described above
and step through the functions by pressing the “Cal/Hold” button until the display shows UC.PH.
Press the ^and vpushbuttons simultaneously the display will show CAL CLR followed
by FUNC End indicating that the calibration is cleared. The display will return to the
measure mode.
mV calibration (single point)
Step through the calibrate functions until the display indicates CAL.E (calibrate voltage). To
enter the mV calibration mode press the ^and vbuttons simultaneously. The display will
now show the “live” mV reading. Immerse the electrode in a buffer solution (this value is not
critical and may be anywhere within the measuring range of the instrument). When the
reading has stabilised press the “Cal/Hold” button. The display will now indicate SCLE
followed by the scale value in memory.
Now press the ^or vbutton to obtain the required scale (calibration) value. Press the
“Cal/Hold” button the display will now indicate Stnd followed by FUNC End indicating
that calibration is complete.
Note: the buffer values used will remain in the instrument memory, thereby making future
calibration easier, if the same value buffers are used.
Redox uncalibration
This function sets the instrument calibration back to the factory calibrated value and closely
matches that of an ideal electrode. This is useful as a temporary measure when the Redox
electrode is replaced and on the spot recalibration is difficult or when a calibrating error exists
due to incorrect calibration. To enter the uncalibrate mode follow the procedure described above
and step through the functions by pressing the “Cal/Hold” button until the display shows UC.E.
Press the ^and vpushbuttons simultaneously the display will show CAL.E CLR
followed by FUNC End indicating that the calibration is cleared. The display will return to
the measure mode.
Temperature calibration
Step through the calibrate functions until the display indicates CAL.t (temperature
calibration). Press the ^and vbuttons simultaneously to enter the temperature
calibration mode. The display will now indicate CAL1 (calibration point) followed by the
“live” reading. Place the temperature probe into an accurately known temperature
environment (this value is not critical and should ideally be close to the normal measuring
temperature of the instrument). When the reading has stabilised press the “Cal/Hold”
button. The display will indicate `C followed by the scale value in memory. Now press the
^or vbutton to obtain the required scale (calibration) value i.e the known temperature.
Press the ”Cal/Hold" button the display will now read CAL.t ENd followed by FUNC End
indicating that the calibration is complete. The display will return to the measure mode.
Temperature uncalibration
This function returns the calibration to that of an ideal temperature probe and is useful
when a temperature calibration error has occurred due to miscalibration and the
conditions do not allow on the spot recalibration. To enter the uncalibrate mode follow the
procedure described above and step through the functions by pressing the “Cal/Hold”
button until the display shows UC.t. Press the ^and vpushbuttons simultaneously the
display will show CAL.t CLR followed by FUNC End indicating that the calibration is
cleared. The display will return to the measure mode.
Returning to the normal measure mode
When the calibration procedure has been completed, it is advisable to return the
instrument to the normal mode (where calibration functions cannot be tampered with). To return
to the normal mode turn the instrument off by pressing the On/Off button (to exit the calibration
mode), wait a few seconds and then turn on again.
