4.6.4 pH calibration
IDS pH sensors age. This changes the zero point (asymmetry) and
slope of the IDS pH sensor. As a result, an inexact measured value is
displayed. Calibration determines the current values of the zero point
and slope of the IDS pH sensor and stores them in the measuring
instrument.
Thus, you should calibrate at regular intervals.
When the calibration interval has expired
You can use the buffer sets quoted in the table for an automatic calibra-
tion. The pH values are valid for the specified temperature values. The
temperature dependence of the pH values is taken into consideration
during the calibration.
