Operational Guide 21
edge’s pH meter operation is con gured by using the SETUP key with a pH probe
connected to the meter. The parameter-speci c options will be seen inserted
into the menu. If Basic mode is “On”, the pH parameter list will not be displayed.
See Basic mode for a description of this operation before choosing how to
SETUP the meter.

Calibration
Calibration in Standard Mode
pH operation in standard mode o ers full function of edge
pH
®. This includes
seven standard bu ers and two custom ones. Five pH bu ers may be used for
calibration.
The instrument should be recalibrated whenever:
• High accuracy and sensor veri cation are required.
• The pH electrode is replaced.
• At least once a week.
• After testing aggressive chemicals.
• If ”CAL DUE” is displayed on the third LCD line.
Every time you calibrate the instrument use fresh bu ers and perform electrode
maintenance as required. It is advised to choose calibration bu ers that bracket
the sample pH.
