Calibration

CAUTION
Chemical exposure hazard. Obey laboratory safety procedures and wear all of the personal protective equipment appropriate to the chemicals that are handled. Refer to the current safety data sheets (MSDS/SDS) for safety protocols

Calibrate the tester before initial use and when:

Results drift
Results are not accurate

Calibrate the parameter shown in Table 3 with the:

Auto calibration procedure
Custom calibration procedure.

The number of calibration standards measured (calibration points) depends on the calibration procedure. Refer to Table 3.
Table 3 Number of calibration points

Auto calibration
Items to collect: One, two or three auto-recognition calibration standards

Set the power to on.
Remove the cap from the sensor.
Push and hold until “Cond” shows.
Push to go to calibration mode.
The auto-recognition standard(s) to measure is shown on the bottom line.
Note: If “C1” shows on the bottom line, do not continue. Set the tester to auto-calibration mode. Refer to Configure the settings on page 8.
Rinse the sensor and cap with deionized water and blot dry.

Put the sensor fully into the cap. The measured value shown on the top line.
To keep the measured value on the display when the sensor is removed from the sample, push Note: The lock icon shows on the display when the measurement is stable.
To measure another sample, do steps 3–8.
When done with measurements:
- a. Rinse the sensor and cap with deionized water.
- b. Put the cap on the tester.
- c. Set the power to off.

**Advanced operation
