pH Calibration  
This instrument is capable of up to 3-point pH calibration to ensure accuracy across the entire 
pH range of the meter.  You can perform 1, 2, or 3 point calibration with standard pH buffers of 
4.01, 7.00 and 10.00.  
We recommend that you perform at least 2-point calibration using standard buffers that covers 
the expected sample range. You can also perform a 1-point calibration, but make sure that the 
buffer value is close to the sample value you are measuring.  
This meter features three pre-programmed pH buffers (pH 4.01, 7.00 and 10.00).  The meter 
automatically recognizes and calibrates to these standard buffer values, which makes pH 
calibration faster and easier.  
Calibrating for pH:  
1.  If necessary, press the MODE key to select pH mode. The pH indicator appears in the 
upper right hand corner of the display.  
2.  Rinse the probe thoroughly with DI water or a rinse solution.  Do not wipe the probe; this 
causes a build-up of electrostatic charge on the 
glass surface.  
3.  Dip the probe into the calibration buffer.  The 
end of the probe must be completely immersed 
into the sample.  Stir the sample using the 
probe gently to create a homogeneous sample.  
4.  Press CAL/MEAS to enter pH calibration mode.  
The primary display will show the measured 
reading while the smaller secondary display will 
indicate the pH standard buffer solution.   
See Figure 11.   
NOTE: If using a pH buffer other than pH 7, 
press the
 
 or 
 key to scroll up or 
down until the secondary display value 
is the same as your pH buffer value 
(pH 4.00, 7.00 or 10.00).  
5.  Wait for the measured pH value to stabilize.  
The READY indicator will display when the 
reading stabilizes.   
See Figure 12.
