Compact must be buf- ® fer adjusted with regular intervals. Buffer adjustment is a calibration, which is carried out in practice by dipping pHix ® Compact in solutions (buffers) with known pH values. The calibration is made by using these known pH values as a reference point.
When the value is found, pHix ® Compact will automatically set the 0-point or span to the correct value, and the LED will indicate this with 2 short flashes every 5 seconds.
When the buffer adjustment has finished sucessfully, the LED will start to give 2 short flashes every 5. sec. The span angle is now set. Buffer adjustment in Buffer adjustment in pH 7 buffer. pH 10 buffer. EN pHix Compact Manual 1507...

Redox electrodes Redox electrodes require cleaning like pH electrodes, but not buffer adjusting. However, MJK do deliver redox buffers for control of electrode and transmitter. If the transmitter does not show the correct value when put into the buffer solution, the electrode must be exchanged.
