Measurement Calibration Calibration is classified into pH calibration and temperature calibration. Note After the power has been first turned ON or the electrode has been replaced, be sure to perform calibration with a standard solution. pH calibration pH calibration is classified into three kinds: auto, basic, and manual. Reference For selecting auto or basic calibration, see “...
Page 56
Measurement 3. Press the ENT key. The pH cal mode is selected with the Auto or Basic cal screen displayed. Carry out calibration in accordance with the operation procedure for auto or basic calibration described on the next and subsequent pages. To cancel the calibration during its process, press the ESC key.
Page 57
Measurement 3. To perform the second-point calibration, immerse the electrode in the standard solution for pH4 or pH9 and then wait in this state or press the ENT key. The second-point calibration will be started. 4. When the reading becomes stable enough, the second-point calibration is finished. Once the stability is determined as acceptable, the measured value stops blinking and the second-point calibration is finished.
Page 58
Measurement Basic calibration Use this calibration when you want to perform any calibration method other than the two-point calibration for pH4 and pH7 or for pH7 and pH9. It also allows you to achieve a known pH value. Items to be supplied 1 to 3 kinds of standard solutions Two or three kinds of standard solutions that have a difference of 2 pH minimum between them when two- or three-point calibration is performed.
Page 59
Measurement 4. Press the ENT key. The auxiliary display part will blink and the calibration of the first point will be finished. (Now the one-point calibration is complete.) The one-point calibration updates only the zero (STD) value. For the calibration of two points or more, immerse the electrode in the standard solution for the second points.
Page 60
Measurement 6. Press the ENT key. The auxiliary display part will blink and the calibration of the third point will be finished. Now the three-point calibration is complete. For 3-point calibration At this point, the new calibration value is applied. Now the pH basic calibration is complete.
Measurement Temperature calibration The temperature calibration is used to correct temperature. Note Immerse the electrode in a solution at a known temperature and then well expose it to the water temperature. When you enter the hold mode, transmission output becomes the output value specified on the Setup menu.
Measurement pH calibration by manual input For this calibration, manually enter the calibration value for pH. Operation procedure Enter the manual input pH cal mode from the meas mode. 1. Hold down the HOLD key in the meas mode until the HOLD indicator turns ON. The hold mode will become active with HOLD displayed on the upper left part.

Troubleshooting Self-check capability for pH electrode The HP-200 has a self-check capability for the pH electrode. This capability detects any cracking of the glass response membrane of the electrode or any clogging of the comparison electrode (liquid junction). It may not work depending on the electrode type or the operating environment.
Troubleshooting Cases where the self-check capability does not work properly. The self-check capability may not properly work depending on the electrode type or the operating environment. This section describes the cases where this capability does not work properly. Case where the electrode is not wetted by the solution under measurement. If the electrode does not come into contact with the sample, the self-check capability does not work properly.
Page 86
The self-check capability does not work properly because of its operating principle. In this case, disable this capability when using the HP-200. Even if the glass response membrane has cracking, the response membrane error (E-71) may not occur.
