VI. Calibration
The Myron L® Company recommends calibrating twice a month depending on usage.
However, you should check the calibration whenever measurements are not as
expected.3-pointWetCalibrationismostaccurateandisrecommended.
NOTE:IfthemeasurementisNOTwithincalibrationlimits,“Error. Clean sensor. Check
Solution.”willdisplay.ChecktomakesureyouareusingaproperpHbuffersolution.If
thesolutioniscorrect,cleantheglassbulbofthesensorwithacottonswabsoakedin
isopropylalcohol.Restartcalibration.
NOTE:Smallbubblestrappedinthesensormaygiveafalsecalibration.
NOTE: If at any point during calibration, you do not submerge the sensor in solution
beforetheashingslows,allowthepentopoweroffandstartover.
A. Calibration Preparation
1. Formaximumaccuracy,fill2cleancontainerswitheachpHbufferyouwillbeusing.
Arrangetheminsuchawaythatyoucanclearlyrememberwhichistherinsesolution
and which is the calibration buffer. Always rinse the pH sensor between buffer
solutions.
2. EnsurethepHsensoriscleanandfreeofdebris.
NOTE:Ifyoudonothaveenoughbuffer,youcanuse1containerofeachbufferfor
calibrationand1containerofcleanwaterforallrinsing.
B. Multi-Point Calibration (2 and 3 point Calibration).
Toperformamulti-PointCalibrationyoumustalwaysstartwith7.0pHbuffer.
1. TaptheCALbuttonintheFeatureNavigationBar.
TheAppscreenwillappearandsay,“Paired ULTRAPEN is Ofine”.
2. Graspthepennearthebatterytoavoidsamplecontamination.
3. Removepenfromtherinsesolution.
4. Pressandreleasethepen’spushbutton.TheCalibrationscreenwilldisplay,“Press
and hold the button on the ULTRAPEN to enter CAL mode.”
5. PressandHoldthepen’sbutton.TheLEDwillgotosolidONandtheApp’sCalibration
screenwillappear
6. TapthegreenCALbuttonontheCalibrationscreen.
7. Whenthepen’sLEDashesrapidly,IMMEDIATELYdip
thepenincalibration7.0pHbuffersothatthecellis
completelysubmerged.TheCalibrationscreenwilldisplay.“Calibrating pH ...”

8. WhentheLEDashesslowly,swirlthepenaroundtoremovebubbles,keepingthe
cellsubmerged.TheCalibrationscreenwilldisplay.“Calibrating 7.0 pH ...”
9. WhentheLEDlightgoessolidON,theCalibrationscreenwilldisplay
“7.0 ph CAL SAVED”alongwiththebeforeandaftercalibrationvalues.
10. DONEandCONTINUEButtonswillappearatthebottomoftheCalibrationScreen.
NOTE:TaptheDONEbuttontoendthecalibrationatthispoint,or;
11. Rinse the pH sensor with the next pH buffer (it can be either 4.0 pH or 10.0 pH
buffer).
12. TaptheCONTINUEButtontocalibratethenextpoint.
13. Repeatsteps7trough10.Theinstrumentwill
automaticallyrecognizethecalibrationpointbasedonthebufferused.
14. Afterthe3rdcalibrationpointissuccessfullysavedonlythe
DONEbuttonwillappear.Tappingthisbuttonendsthe
calibration.
C. Single-Point Calibration.
1. Usingeither4,7,or10pHbuffer,performthecalibrationasdescribedinsteps1
through9ofSectionB.
2. Afterthecalibrationpointissuccessfullysaved,taptheDONEbutton
D. Factory Calibration
WhenpHbuffersarenotavailable,thePTBT2canbereturnedtofactorydefault
calibrationusingtheFACCALfunction.Thiswillerasestoredwetcalibrationconstants.
NOTE:defaultfactorycalibrationresetstheelectronicsonlyanddoesNOTtakethe
conditionofthesensorintoconsideration.
1. InsidetheApptaptheCALbuttonintheFeatureNavigationBar.TheAppscreen
willsay,“Paired ULTRAPEN is Ofine.”
2. Pressandreleasethepushbutton.Thescreenwilldisplay,“Press and hold the
button on the ULTRAPEN to enter CAL mode”.
3. PressandHoldtheULTRAPEN’sbuttontheLEDwillgotosolidONandtheApp’s
Calibrationscreenwillappear.
4. TaptheredFAC CALbutton.Awarningdialoguebox
willappear.
5. TaptheOKbuttoninthedialoguebox.TheApp’sCalibratingscreenwilldisplay,
“FAC CAL Reset”.
MAINTENANCE
I. Battery Replacement
ThePTBT2Appdisplayhas an indicatorthatdepictsthepenbattery’s charge level.
Whenthechargelevelfallsbelow25%,theindicatorwillashred.Imediatelyreplace
thebatterywithannewNtypebattery.
1. InaCLEAN DRYplaceunscrewthebatterycapinacounter-clockwisemotion.
2. Slidethebatteryandbatteryhousingoutofthepen.
3. Removethedepletedbatteryfromitshousing.
4. Insertanewbatteryintothebatteryhousingorientedwiththenegativeendtouching
thespring.
5. Alignthegroovealongthebatteryhousingwiththeguidebumpinsidethepencase
andslidethebatteryhousingbackin.
6. Screwthebatterycapbackoninaclockwisedirection.
... Continued from page 3
II. Routine Maintenance
1. ALWAYSrinsethepHsensorwithcleanwateraftereachuse.
2. ALWAYSreplacethesoakercaphalffilledwithpHSensorStorageSolutionto
preventthesensorfromdryingoutaftereachuse.
3. Ifthesensorbecomesdirty,cleanthesensorsurfacewithanisopropylsoaked
cottonswab.Thenrinsethoroughlywithcleanwater.
4. Donotdrop,throworotherwisestrikethepen.Thisvoidsthewarranty.
5. Donotstorethepeninalocationwheretheambienttemperaturesexceedits
specifiedOperating/StorageTemperaturelimits.
Do not over tighten.
