3.0 Calibration cont.
To calibrate the pH
Clean pH probe tip.
See section 6.0 (the pH probe does not require
cleaning before the fi rst use).
pH 7.0 calibration
a) Turn pH meter on. Rinse pH probe tip in fresh
water, shake off excess water and place in a
pH 7.0 calibration solution. Wait for at least
one minute or longer if required for reading to
stablize to a constant value.
b) Long press the ‘calibrate’ button. When the
display shows CAL release button.
pH 7 indicator is displayed indicating
a successful pH 7 calibration.
The pH 4 indicator will now fl ash
indicating pH 4.0 or pH 10.0
calibration is now required.
c) If Err appears during the calibration process
see section 9.0.
d) The pH meter must be calibrated to two
points. If after an hour the pH meter has not
been calibrated with a second calibration
point the calibration indicators disappear and
the pH meter reverts to an uncalibrated state.
Calibration is required.
pH 4.0 / 10.0 calibration
a) Rinse the pH probe tip in fresh water, shake
off excess water and place the
pH probe tip in either pH 4.0 or pH 10.0
calibration solution.
b) Wait for at least one minute for reading to
stabilize to a constant value.
c) Long press the ‘calibrate’ button. When the
display shows CAL release button.
pH 7 / pH 4 is displayed
or pH 7 / pH 10 is displayed
d) The pH meter is now calibrated and ready
for use.
e) After 30 days, the calibration indicators
disappear to let you know calibration is required.
Store the pH probe
Add enough Bluelab pH Probe KCl Storage Solution
into the probe storage cap to fully submerge the
pH probe tip. Place storage cap on probe.
