    Why won't my Extech Instruments Measuring Instruments calibrate in pH mode?
    • N
      Nicole MoodyAug 13, 2025
      If your Extech Instruments Measuring Instruments unit won't calibrate in pH mode, possible causes include: a low pH slope (replace the electrode), a clogged or contaminated reference junction (clean the junction), a damaged or worn out sensing membrane (replace the electrode), or contaminated pH buffers (use fresh buffers).

    Why won't my Extech Instruments Measuring Instruments calibrate in conductivity mode?
    • M
      Matthew LeeAug 18, 2025
      If your Extech Instruments Measuring Instruments unit won't calibrate in conductivity mode, the issue might be due to contaminated conductivity standards (use fresh standards), a dirty probe (clean the conductivity probe), a damaged conductivity probe (replace the electrode), or trapped air bubbles (tap or stir to release air bubbles).
