Messages
• If the bu er temperature exceeds the temperature limits of the bu er,
“WRONG BUFFER TEMPERATURE” will be displayed.
• Press CLR 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 Bu er Temperature Dependence
Temperature has an e ect on pH. The calibration bu er solutions are a ected 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 bu er value at 25 ºC.

The Calibration Check™ feature may ag 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 bu ers that can be addressed easily. These messages are seen in
Standard and Basic modes.
Wrong Bu er
This message appears when the di erence between
the pH reading and the value of the selected bu er
is too great. If this error message is displayed, check
if you have selected the proper calibration bu er and
have poured the desired bu er.
