Nominal mV –170.0 –151.0
Total pull in range -300.0 to +100.0 12.8 to 21.1 above
cal gas mV value
Action limits < -270.0 or >+80.0 <13.5 or >20.2 above
cal gas mV value
Cal Gas pO

(pA)
Nominal pA +764.0 +80.0
Total pull in range 171 to 1961 above –100.0 to +250.0
slope gas pA value
Action limits <300 or >1600 above <–50 or >200
slope gas pA value
Action: pH - may be caused by the reference sensor, see Pages 4-1 and 4-2. If
problem persists condition or refill the pH sensor. If the problem is still
apparent, replace the pH sensor.

4. Stability – for 7.3 Buffer and Cal Gas a typical sensor will show the
following performance:
pH pCO

pO

Noise - after 15 seconds
the display will not
change by more than: 0.2 mV/10 secs 1.0 mV/10 secs 2 pA/10 secs
Drift - after 15 seconds
the display will not
change unidirectionally
by more than: 1.0 mV 5.0 mV 15 pA
during the remainder of the measurement.
Instability on the pH channel may be caused by the reference sensor.
De-bubble the reference sensor and repeat the test.

Run Test Sample
1. You can use the run test sample option to:
a. Measure a sample with a known mV value (for example, run 7.3
or 6.8 buffer as a sample).
b. Run QC samples to promote stability after installing a new
sensor.
NOTE: You cannot use capillary samples with the Run Test Sample
routine.
