The Ammonium Calibration Wizard starts. A screen like this is
displayed.
8. Select the number of calibration points for this calibration, and the
concentration (ppm) of the calibration solution for each point.
Cal point 1 is the solution the sensor is soaking in now, the lowest
concentration for a multi-point calibration. If doing a three-point
bithermal cal, choose cal point 3 to be the same as either cal point
1 or cal point 2.
9. Select Next to continue.
10. In the next screen, select Run to begin the stabilization.
The display will continuously update as readings are taken and
compared against the stabilization criteria.
s
NOT TESTED is displayed until you begin the calibration by
selecting Run.
UNSTABLE indicates the sensor response does not meet the
criteria for a valid calibration point.
NOMINAL indicates the sensor deviation meets early stabiliza-
tion criteria.
The Accept button becomes available when nominal stability is
achieved. You may accept the early value, or wait for complete
stability. If you accept the early value, the calibration point will
be designated “USER SET” in the calibration report. (For more
on calibration reports, see “Calibration History” in Section 10.)
STABLE is displayed when the readings have stabilized suffi-
ciently to take a valid calibration point. The calibration proceeds
automatically to the next screen.

11. If doing a single-point calibration, go to step 16.
For a multi-point calibration, the Wizard returns to the screen
shown at step 10 and waits for you to situate the probe in the next
calibration solution and click Run.
12. Remove the Cal Cup, discard the first solution, rinse the Cal Cup
and the front end of the instrument with clean water, followed by
a rinse in the next calibration solution, refill the Cal Cup with the
second solution, and attach it to the instrument.
TIP: The used calibration solution may be flushed down the
drain with running water, or saved in a separate container
and used as a rinse the next time you calibrate with the
same solution.
13. Select Run to begin the stabilization for cal point 2. Status indica-
tors and controls are the same as for cal point 1 (step 10).
Again wait for Stable status (or click Accept when Nominal is
indicated).
If doing a two-point calibration, go to step 16.
14. For the third calibration point, use the cal point 1 or cal point 2
solution (as specified in step 8) but change the temperature by at
LEAST
15. When the temperature is stable, select Run for cal point 3.
When Nominal is accepted or Stable is indicated for cal point 3,
the final screen is displayed.
