ORP Calibration Procedure (Relative mV Mode)

Orion Star A321 pH meters, Orion Star A324 pH/ISE meters, Orion Star A325 pH/conductivity
meters, Orion Star A326 pH/RDO/DO meters and Orion Star A329 pH/ISE/conductivity/RDO/
DO meters can perform an ORP calibration in the relative mV (RmV) mode using one standard
with easy to follow onscreen instructions to assist with the calibration process.
Use the Thermo Scientific Orion ORP standard (Catalog Number 967901 or 967961) or other
ORP standard as desired. Prepare the electrode according to the instructions in the electrode
manual. Connect all electrodes to be used to the appropriate meter inputs.
Make sure the meter measurement mode is set to RmV. For Star A325, Star A326 and Star
A329 meters, press the f3 (channel) key until the RmV channel is shown in the measurement
mode.
1. Press the f1 (cal) key to start the calibration.
a. If more than one channel is displayed in the measurement mode, press the p or q
key to highlight pH-Channel or pH/ISE-Channel and press the f2 (select) key.
2. Rinse the electrode and any other electrodes in use with distilled water, blot gently with a
lint-free tissue to remove excess water and place into the standard.
3. When the electrode and standard are ready, press the f3 (start) key.
4. Wait for the mV value on the meter to stabilize (indicated by the flashing stabilizing or solid
ready icon) and perform one of the following actions:
a. Press the f2 (accept) key to accept the mV value.
or
b. Press the f3 (edit) key to access the popup number entry screen and manually enter
the mV value expected at the measured temperature.
i. Press the p, q, t or u key to highlight a number, decimal point or negative
sign; press the f3 (enter) key to select the highlighted item and repeat until the
desired value is shown at the top of the screen.
ii. Press the f2 (done) key to save the value and exit the number entry screen.
iii. Press the f2 (accept) key to accept the manually entered value.
5. The meter will display the calibration summary including the mV offset and export the data
to the calibration log. Press the f1 (meas) key to proceed to the measurement mode or
press the f2 (print) key to export the calibration data to a printer or computer.
