  • Page 4 Orion Star A326 Portable pH/RDO/DO Meters pH Calibration One to five pH buffers can be used for calibration. Always use fresh pH buffers and select buffers that bracket the sample pH and are one to four pH units apart. Prepare the pH electrode according to the instructions in the electrode use guide.
  • Page 5: Rdo/Do Calibration

    30 to 60 minutes for polarization. The Orion Star A326 meter can perform a calibration using water-saturated air (Air), air-saturated water (Water), Winkler titration (Manual) or zero point calibration (Set Zero). See the reference guide for detailed instructions for each calibration.
  • Page 6 Orion Star A326 Portable pH/RDO/DO Meters Measurement The Orion Star A326 meter is capable of showing two measurements simultaneously on the display. The first channel can be set to measure pH, mV, RmV (relative mV) or ORP. The second channel can be set to measure DO -%sat (dissolved oxygen in percent saturation), DO - mg/L (dissolved oxygen in milligrams per liter) or DO -°C (probe membrane temperature).
