4.1 Important 
Information 
on pH Monitor Calibration 
This monitor has 3 pH calibration points: 4, 7 and 10 with automatic buffer 
recognition. For best accuracy, calibrate to all 3 pH points close to the temperature of 
the solution you will be monitoring, starting with pH 7. We recommend that you 
perform at least a 2-point calibration—at pH 7 first followed by pH 4 or pH 10 
depending on the range of the operation. You can also perform a 1-point calibration, 
but make sure that the buffer value is close to the sample value you are measuring.  
Calibration should be performed regularly to ensure accuracy. Frequency of 
calibration will vary and should be checked regularly until the required schedule has 
been determined.  
Be sure to remove the protective electrode storage bottle or rubber cap of the probe 
before calibration or measurement. If the electrode has been stored dry, wet the 
probe in tap water for 10 minutes before calibrating or taking readings to saturate the 
pH electrode surface and minimize drift.  
Do not reuse buffer solutions after calibration. Contaminants in the solution can affect 
the calibration, and eventually the accuracy of the measurements.

NOTE: All new calibration data will over-ride existing calibration data.
