    10. CALIBRATION 10.1. pH CALIBRATION HI981412 provides a digital calibration at the push of a button. Calibrate the probe frequently for improved accuracy. Also: • before in-line or flow cell installation • whenever the probe is replaced • after periodic maintenance Always use fresh calibration buffers and perform electrode maintenance prior to calibration (see ELECTRODE CARE &...
  • Page 32 • If the buffer is not recognized (either because the pH electrode has not been placed in solution or the reading is outside accepted range), “---- WRONG” message is displayed along with CAL tag blinking. • After pH 4.01 or 10.01 buffer is accepted, the “SAVE” message is displayed and the controller returns to measurement mode.
  • Page 33: Process Ph Calibration

    • The “CAL” tag is displayed in measurement mode. • If the buffer is not recognized, “---- WRONG” message is displayed. It is recommended to change the solution and / or clean the electrode. • Press CAL key to exit calibration. Note: If high accuracy is required, a two-point calibration is recommended.
