4.2.4 pH calibration

Why calibrate? pH electrodes age. This changes the asymmetry (zero point) and slope

of the pH electrode. As a result, an inexact measured value is dis-

played. Calibration determines the current values of the asymmetry

and slope of the electrode and stores them in the measuring instru-

ment. Thus, you should calibrate at regular intervals.

When to calibrate? z After connecting another electrode

z When the sensor symbol flashes:

– after the calibration interval has expired

– after a voltage interruption, e. g. after changing the batteries

AutoCal TEC is specially matched to the WTW technical buffer solutions as a fully au-

tomatic two-point calibration. The buffer solutions are automatically

recognized by the measuring instrument. Depending on the instrument

setting (see section 4.8 C

ONFIGURATION), the instrument displays the

relevant buffer nominal value or the current electrode voltage in mV.

The calibration can be terminated after the first buffer solution. This cor-

responds to a single-point calibration. To do this, the instrument uses

the Nernst slope (-59.2 mV/pH at 25 °C) and determines the asymme-

try of the electrode.

AutoRead The calibration procedure automatically activates the AutoRead func-

tion.

The current AutoRead measurement can be terminated at any time

(accepting the current value) by pressing <RUN/ENTER>.

Displaying the calibra-

tion data

You can view the data of the last calibration on the display. The pro-

ceeding is described on page 48.

Printing the

calibration protocol

The calibration record contains the calibration data of the current cali-

bration. You can transmit the calibration protocol to a printer via the se-

rial interface (see O

UTPUTTING THE CALIBRATION PROTOCOL ON THE

INTERFACE, page 51).

Note

You can automatically print a calibration record after the calibration. To

do so, connect a printer to the interface according to section 4.7.2 be-

fore calibrating. After a valid calibration, the record is printed.
