3. CALIBRATION

3.1 pH Calibration

The meter is capable of calibrating up to 3 pH values using USA or NIST (nSt) pH buffer
standards or 2 pH values with Low Ionic (Pb) pH buffer standard. All new calibration
values will automatically override existing data.

USA group 4.01, 7.00, 10.01

NIST group 4.01, 6.86, 9.18

Pb group 4.10, 6.97

For best results perform at least a 2-point calibration at room temperature (25 oC) using
standard buffers. Begin with pH 7.00 (USA group), pH 6.86 (NIST group) or pH 6.97 (Pb
group).

For a 1-point calibration, calibration should be performed with a pH buffer value closest
to the expected sample value being measured.

The meter has automatic buffer recognition that identifies the correct pH buffer values
during calibration. The meter will accept calibration values that are within +/-1.0 pH units
of the expected value, otherwise the LCD will flash “Er1” and the value will not be
accepted. Press CAL to abort calibration and resume measurement.

Always use new pH buffer solutions for calibration. Do not reuse buffer solutions as it
may be contaminated and affect the calibration and accuracy of measurements.
Promptly seal containers and store solutions in a dark, dry, cool environment.

Before use, remove the plastic protective cap of pH electrode and condition the glass
bulb by soaking it in tap water or pH buffer (preferably pH 4) for 1-2 hours. This hydrates
the glass bulb if the electrode is too dry or has not been used recently. Always rinse the
probes with clean water before and after each calibration/sample measurement to avoid
cross-contamination. For details refer to section 5 on Electrode care and maintenance.

3.1.1 pH Calibration Procedure

1. Pour known pH buffer calibration standard solution into a clean, dry container, e.g.
pH 7.00. Turn on meter and select pH mode by pressing MODE key if necessary.

2. Dip the pH electrode and temperature probe into the solution. Swirl gently and wait
for reading to stabilise (approx. 30 seconds depending on your electrode condition).

Instruction Manual pH 5+, pH 6+, Ion 6+

3. Press CAL to enter pH calibration mode. “CA” displays momentarily before the
display flashes the current un-calibrated reading.

4. To abort or cancel calibration without accepting the new value, press CAL key. The
meter will automatically revert to pH measurement mode.

5. Allow reading to stabilise if necessary. Press ENTER key to confirm calibration.
“CO” displays momentarily before reverting to pH measurement mode.

6. For highest accuracy, perform a multiple-point calibration. Repeat step 1 with
additional pH buffer calibration standard solutions.

3.1.2 Changing the pH Buffer Group

You can calibrate with pH standards of either USA, NIST (nSt) or Low Ionic (Pb) pH
buffer groups. The factory default is USA. To abort buffer group selection press CAL to
revert to pH measurement mode.

1. Press and hold MODE while switching the meter on using the ON/OFF key. The
display shows “bUF” blinking.

Press ENTER key to confirm your selection. The meter will automatically revert to pH
measurement mode. The meter will save the selected group indefinitely until changed.

3.1.3 Resetting User Calibrated Values

The calibrated pH/mV/Ion values can be reset to factory default using the procedure
below. Temperature offset will not be reset using this procedure. To abort press CAL to
revert to measurement mode.

1. Press and hold CAL while switching the meter on using the ON/OFF key. The LCD
shows “rSt” blinking.

2. Press ENTER key to confirm. The meter automatically clears all stored pH/Ion
calibration or mV offset values and reverts to measurement mode.

3.2 Ion Calibration (Ion 6+)

The Ion 6+ meter is capable of 2 or 3 point ion calibration with standard solutions. The
Ion 6+ will display “- - -“ if the meter has not been calibrated or if the meter has been
reset.

To abort ion calibration press CAL to revert to measurement mode.

Ion calibration values are not stored into the meter’s non-volatile memory. Ion calibration
data is lost once the meter is reset and when the batteries are being removed and
replaced.

Error message “Er2” is displayed after a single point calibration is completed.
Recalibrate using minimum of 2 points.

Calibration values are successfully stored if the ISE (Ion Selective Electrode) slope is
within the specified tolerance of 15-90mV/decade, otherwise an error message “Er3” is
displayed.

If any of calibration points are not within 1 decade of each other, an error message “Er4”
will be shown at the end of calibration process. The ion calibration options

Instruction Manual pH 5+, pH 6+, Ion 6+

-10-

available include 0.1, 1.0, 10.0, 100.0 ppm. Recalibrate and ensure that consecutive
calibration points are 1 decade apart from each other.

Ensure that you use new or fresh standard solutions during calibration. Do not reuse ion
standard solution as it may be contaminated and affect the calibration and accuracy of
measurements. Store standard solutions in a dry, cool environment if possible. Check
that ISE’s and ion standard solutions are kept in good condition for best results.

Before use, remove any plastic protective cap of ISE (at the tip of sensor) and refer to
electrode instruction manual for proper operation. Rinse probes before and after each
calibration or sample measurement to avoid cross-contamination.

3.2.1 Ion Calibration Procedure

The Ion 6+ can measure various ions. Ion measurement requires ion selective
electrodes (ISE)—(sold separately) which measure a specific ion of interest—such as
ammonia or fluoride.

The available ion calibration values for the Ion 6+ are 0.1, 1.0, 10.0, and 100.0 ppm.
Pick any 2 or 3 consecutive values to use and prepare the corresponding ion calibration
solutions. Turn on the meter and select ion mode by pressing MODE key if necessary.

For best results, always begin with your lowest standard value, followed by the
next lowest standard.

1. Dip the ISE into your standard solution. Add ISA if required. Swirl it gently. Press
CAL key to begin calibration mode.

2. The display shows “CA” (to indicate calibration mode) momentarily followed by “0.1”
flashing. To select the appropriate standard, use S and T keys.
