Display when calibration is completed. The pH electrode has a certain drift in different use environments or when it has not been used for a long time, resulting in different electrode slopes and zero points.
  • Page 26 EZ-100 Porta-Check Manual Wash the pH electrode repeatedly with distilled water, put it in a certain standard buffer solution (such as 7.00pH standard buffer solution), the instrument displays pH value and temperature value (such as 7.00pH, 25.0°C). If the meter is not connected to a temperature electrode, you need to use a thermometer to measure the temperature value of the standard solution, press the"Setting"key and set the current temperature value (such as 25.2°C) with the up and down key, and press the "Cal/Enter"...
  • Page 27 EZ-100 Porta-Check Manual you can manually press the "Cancel" key to terminate the calibration. If the user uses a non-standard pH buffer solution to calibrate the electrode, the user must know the relationship between the pH value of the non-standard solution and the temperature in advance, that is, the nominal pH at a certain temperature, and then control the temperature of the constant temperature tank to make the standard solution reach specified temperature value.
