Automatic Calibration (Conductivity)

In the Automatic Calibration mode, the meter is capable of accepting either

single-point or up to 4 points for multi-point calibration with maximum of 1 point

per specific measurement range. For the known calibration standard values

refer to Table 1 in Section 4.3.
1)

If necessary, press MODE key to select

conductivity mode.

2)

Rinse the probe thoroughly with de-ionized

water or a rinse solution, then rinse with a

small amount of calibration standard.

NOTE: For Automatic Calibration you must use

one of the calibration standards listed in
Table 1.

3)

Dip the probe into the calibration standard.

Immerse the probe tip beyond the upper steel

band (see Figure in Section 3.4). Stir the probe

gently to create a homogeneous sample. Allow

time for the reading to stabilize.

4)

Press CAL key to enter conductivity calibration

mode. The [CA] indicator will appear for 1.5

seconds, and a value will appear flashing.

NOTE: To exit calibration without confirmation,

press CAL key again to go back to
measurement mode.

5)

Wait for the value to stabilize and press
ENTER

key. The calibration standard value

will appear for 3 seconds. If the calibration is

successfully performed, a [donE] will be

displayed for about 3 seconds, and the meter

returns to measurement mode.

6)

To perform the next point calibration in the

multi-point calibration, repeat step 1-5 again

until all points have been calibrated if necessary.
