Calibration

Chemical exposure hazard. Obey laboratory safety procedures and wear all of the personal protective
equipment appropriate to the chemicals that are handled. Refer to the current safety data sheets
(MSDS/SDS) for safety protocols.
Calibrate the probe
Each probe uses a different type of calibration solution. Make sure to calibrate the probes frequently
to maintain the highest level of accuracy. The meter will show the calibration status. If the calibration
is not correct, the calibration icon with the question mark
correctly. When the calibration is correct, the calibration icon with the green checkmark shows. For
step-by-step instructions, refer to the documents that are included with each probe. Refer to the
manufacturer's website for more information.
