Ph Probe Setup, Maintenance And Preparation - Pacific Sun Kore 7th User Manual

Kore 7th Manual / kHLab Edition

3. pH Probe Setup, Maintenance and Preparation

Use only dedicated Pacific Sun pH probes for these calibrations. If you use probes from
another manufacturer, Pacific Sun cannot guarantee the accuracy that measured results
will match actual conditions. The typical lifespan for a pH probe in kHLab is about 16-18
months, but this time can be shortened in the case of long-term exposure to seawater. The
safe replacement time guaranteeing high accuracy is 12 months.
Warning!
Do NOT let the tip of the pH probe dry out as damage to the probe will
result. The clear cap (small container) protects the pH probe from drying
out.
In order to obtain accurate measurements and best performance, the pH probe needs
to be calibrated at two points - pH 4.0 and pH 7.0. Remember to use only dedicated
calibration fluids at aquarium water temperature before performing pH probe calibration.
Closed bottles with calibration fluid for both pH 4 and pH 7 can be placed in aquarium
water to acclimate them to the system temperature.
Warning!
The pH probe must always be calibrated before use. Remove the clear
cap (small container) from the pH probe before starting the calibration
process and before the use of the pH probe.
