    3.1.2. CALIBRATION The C.A 10101 is delivered with two buffer solutions (NIST), pH 4.01 and 7.00. You can calibrate at one point, two points, or three points. Two solutions are provided with the instrument, the third is an option.
  • Page 12 „ If you spot an air bubble on the glass membrane, shake the electrode to eliminate it. „ Plunge the end of the electrode in the first buffer solution. Take care to completely submerge the glass ball and the salt bridge in the solution. Minimum level of immersion.
  • Page 13 „ Confirm the set by pressing the CAL key. „ Choose the calibration set by long presses on the ▲ and ▼ keys. The values of the buffer solutions supplied are When the instrument detects the buffer solution value, it in set 1.
  • Page 14 „ If you want to continue the calibration, withdraw the electrode from the solution, rinse it with de-ionized water, dry it, plunge it in the second buffer solution, and press the CAL key again.  „ Wait for the measurement to stabilize. Once again, the instrument proposes terminating the calibration (by pressing the END key) or continuing at a third point (by pressing the CAL key).
  • Page 15 3.1.3. RESTORE THE INITIAL CALIBRATION Press the CAL key, then the MEM key.    If you do not want to restore the initial calibration, choose no before pressing the CAL key. Otherwise, choose YES and press the CAL key. The calibration values return to 100% for the slope and 0.0 mV for the offset. 3.1.4.
  • Page 16 3.1.5. USE OF ANOTHER PH ELECTRODE The electrode supplied with the instrument has an integrated temperature probe. If you use another electrode, one without an integrated temperature probe, you must measure the temperature of the solution. The instrument indicates that the temperature can be modified by displaying MTC next to the temperature. MTC = Manual Temperature Compensation.
