pH Calibration The pH100A /pH100M uses a 2-point calibration. The first point must be a 6.86/7.00 buffer, and the second either a 4.00/4.01 or 9.18/10.01. 1. Turn the unit on. Connect the pH electrode to the BNC connector and the ATC/Temp probe to the ATC/Temp connector of the unit; “ATC” displays.
Note: Calibration with the pH simulator calibrates only the instrument - NOT the instrument and probe. For best accuracy, calibrate the pH instrument and probe together using buffer solutions. pH Measurements To take pH measurements, “STAND” and “SLOPE” must display steadily, indicating the unit is dual-point calibrated and ready for measurements.
Slope EcoSense Stand pH100M ® Recal Mode Saving, Viewing and Deleting Data The pH100A can save 50 data records, while the pH100M can save 250 Mode EcoSense pH10 Meas. data records. When in measurement mode, press /ESC to save a record. ®...

Opening the Data File with Excel® Depending on the region and language setting of your PC, measurement data might be formatted incorrectly by Excel® when the data file is opened. This is sometimes encountered with German set as the PC language, as a German date format typically utilizes a decimal (DD.MM.YYYY).
6. Under Step 3, click on the column with the incorrectly formatted data. This column should be highlighted in black. Choose Text under Column data format. Do this for each column with incorrectly formatted data. 7. Select Finish, then choose where you want the data to be placed on your opened spreadsheet.
