The custom buffers allow the user to calibrate in a buffer solution different
from a standard one. Up to two custom buffers can be set in SETUP menu
(see page 28). Each custom buffer value can be changed in a ±1.0 pH
window around the set value, during calibration, when it is selected; the
“
BUFFER pH” tag will blink.
The instruments will automatically skip the buffer used during calibration
and the buffers which are in a ±0.2 pH window, around one of the
calibrated buffers.
All new calibrations will override existing stored calibration data in a
±0.2 pH window. The slopes adjacent to the new points will be reevaluated.
FIVE-POINT CALIBRATION
• Submerse the pH electrode and the temperature
probe approximately 3 cm (1¼”) into a buffer
solution and stir gently. The temperature probe
should be close to the pH electrode.
• Press CAL. The “CAL” and “
BUF
” tags will
appear and the “ 7.01” buffer will be displayed
on the secondary LCD.
• If necessary, press the ARROW keys to select a different buffer value.
• The “ ” tag will blink on the LCD until the reading is stable.
• When the reading is stable and close to the selected
buffer, the “ READY” tag will be displayed and the
“ CFM” tag will blink.
• Press CFM to confirm calibration.
• The calibrated value will be displayed on the primary
LCD and the second expected buffer value on the
secondary LCD.
• After the first calibration point is confirmed, submerse the pH
electrode and the temperature probe approximately 3 cm (1¼”)
into the second buffer solution and stir gently. The temperature
probe should be close to the pH electrode.
• If necessary, press the ARROW keys to select a different buffer value.
