CALIBRATION MESSAGES
If the value measured by the instrument is not close to the selected buffer, “WRONG BUFFER”
will blink. Check if the correct buffer has been used, or clean the electrode by following the
Cleaning Procedure. If necessary, change the buffer or the electrode.
If the buffer temperature exceeds the temperature limits of the buffer, “WRONG BUFFER
TEMPERATURE” will be displayed.
Press SETUP/CLR key after entering calibration to clear all calibration options. “CLEAR ALL”
message will be displayed and the instrument will return to measurement mode displaying
“CAL DUE” message.
pH Buffer Temperature Dependence
Temperature has an effect on pH. The calibration buffer solutions are affected by temperature changes
also. During calibration the instrument will automatically calibrate to the pH value corresponding to
the temperature. During calibration the instrument will display the pH buffer value at 25 ºC.

The Calibration Check™ feature may flag diagnostic messages during a calibration. As electrode
aging is normally a slow process, substantial changes from previous calibrations are likely due to a
temporary problem with the electrode or buffers that can be addressed easily. These messages are
seen in Standard and Basic modes.
