4.1.4 Automatic, Single- and Two-Point Calibration (pH Only)
Sensor A: Buffer Method (pH probes only)
Select the type of automatic calibration required:
Auto 1-Pt
Auto 2-Pt
–
–
Automatic, single-point calibration
Automatic, two-point calibration
Calibrate Buffer (Single-Point Calibration) or Calibrate Buffer 1(Two-Point Calibration)
Immerse Sensor A in the buffer solution.
Press the key to initiate calibration.
Note. To abort calibration, press the key again at any time before calibration is
complete – see below.
The center display line shows the measured sensor output in millivolts.
As calibration proceeds, a progress indicator appears in the lower display line. When
the measured sensor output stabilizes, the lower display line shows
##### 100 % #####.
The display then changes for 2 seconds to show the temperature-corrected buffer
value in the upper display line, then advances automatically to the next frame.
Two-point calibration selected – continued on next page.
Single-point calibration selected – continued on next page.
Abort Calibration
Select Yes or No.
Yes selected – return to the main menu.
No selected – calibration continues.
