QUICK-CAL THE BASIC WATER-QUALITY SENSORS
You will need:

polarographic D.O., Conductivity), plugs in any unused ports.

before use.
1. Fill the Cal Cup with the Quick Cal solution. See guide-
lines in the sidebar on this page.
2. Remove the restrictor (if attached) and insert the front
end of the MP TROLL 9500 into the Cal Cup. Thread
the Cal Cup onto the body until seated against the o-
ring, then back off slightly to avoid overtightening.
3. Connect the MP TROLL 9500 to a PC and establish a
connection in Win-Situ 4 or Pocket-Situ 4.
4. Select the MP TROLL 9500 in the Navigation tree. The software
will automatically detect and display the installed sensors.
5. In the Navigation tree, click on Parameters.
6. In the Information pane, select QuickCal.

we recommend traditional calibration for pH, conductivity, and D.O., as
described in Sections 11-13.

If the sensor is installed when you receive the instrument, it is condi-
tioned and ready to calibrate.

appear. For a Quick Cal with a full set of sensors, we suggest you fill
the Cal Cup above the line labeled “Recommended Fill Line - High.”

soft plastic cal insert (it has an orange base) to Quick Cal the standard
sensors, since the standard Cal Cup will not fit when the RDO sensor
is installed. Fill the cal insert with calibration solution, slide it up around
the sensors, including the RDO cable, and use the RDO restrictor as a
support during calibration.
s
not absorb Quick Cal solution. Either carefully remove the wiper head
(see Wiper Maintenance in Section 18), or soak the front end of the
TROLL in water before calibrating; allow the pad to become saturated.

for best results from these sensors.
