Ion Calibration

The ION 2700 can measure ion concentration such as ammonia or fluoride when

using an ion selective electrode (ISE) for the specific ion of interest.

Ion calibration is required with at least two standards from (8) available values;

0.001, 0.01, 0.1, 1.0, 10, 100, 1000, and 10000.

Prepare ion calibration standards that bracket your measurement range. Follow

the ion selective electrode instruction manual for the appropriate ionic strength

adjustment and sample preparation.

For best results always begin with your lowest calibration standard value,

followed by the next lowest, and so on.

1)

Connect the ISE and press

MODE as needed for concentration mode.

2)

Rinse the ISE with clean water then dIp into

your lowest calibration standard and stir.

Press CAL. Use up/down arrows to match

the upper display to your calibration

standard.

3)

The lower display is the mV reading of the ISE. Press

ENTER when this

value is stable to accept the calibration point.

4)

Rinse the ISE with clean water and dp into your next lowest calibration

standard and stire. Press

ENTER after “Stable” appears to accept the

next calibration point.

The primary display will show “- - - -” when ion

calibration is required for ion measurement.
