The pH/Ion Meter uses various messages to selectively inform you
about possible errors or operating problems. These are shown in the
bottom line of the display and illustrated by a symbol in front:
Type Symbol Example of a message
Error same buffer
Warning
cal.data out of limits
Information
manual stop
change buffer <ENTER>
calibration OK
Monitoring
cal.interval expired
These messages can normally be removed by pressing the
key. However, some messages will remain until their cause has been
remedied. For example, this applies to a monitoring message or a
warning message during a standard addition run. In the latter case it is
necessary to carry out a new and successful analysis to remove such a
warning message.
Please note that you should not press
to acknowledge a
message while a report is being produced as this will cancel the re-
port.
The following table lists all the messages which could appear on the
display of the pH/Ion Meter.
