message.
Error 1: Unexpected pH
value
Capsule sends what appears
to be a pH value, but it is
outside expected range (pH
7.01 to 1.07).
For each of these calibration
messages, try:
1. Replace buffer solution.
2. Try calibrating a new pH
capsule.
If error persists, contact
customer support.
Error 2: Slope too low Difference in mV between
signals read by capsule during
calibration (that is, difference
between pH 7.01 and pH 1.07
solutions) is lower than
expected.
Error 3: Slope too high Difference in mV between
signals read by capsule during
calibration is greater than
expected.
Error 4: Signal unstable Recorder cannot detect stable
signal from capsule within 60
seconds during calibration.
