4.1 pH Calibration
For best results, periodic calibration with known accurate standards is
recommended. Calibrate with standards that bracket your intended
measuring range while including a neutral standard (pH 7.00 or 6.86).
For example, if you expect to measure samples from pH 6.2 to pH 9.5,
calibration with 4.01, 7.00, and 10.01 will work well.

The following calibration standards are automatically recognized;
2) Dip the pH and ATC electrodes into pH buffer and press . The
secondary display will lock on the appropriate buffer value. Provide
stirring for best results. When the READY indicator appears, press
3) Rinse the pH and ATC electrodes then dip into the next pH buffer.
The secondary display will lock on the appropriate buffer value.

4.2 Millivolt (mV) Offset Adjustment
Oxidization Reduction Potential (ORP or Redox) is not a precise
measurement, but is useful as a relative indicator. As such, mV offset
adjustment is not meant to enhance accuracy, but rather to make
readings comparable to a reference. Commercial ORP solutions are
often used as a check standard in which a meter/electrode system are
verified to be close to a given value, instead of being used as a
calibration standard in which adjustments are made in an attempt to
match the ORP value.
6
If you only use calibration standards that are listed in TABLE 1,
automatic calibration is recommended. If you intend to calibrate with
one or more standards that are not listed in TABLE 1, the PC 700 must
be set for manual calibration instead.
The factory default is automatic conductivity calibration. See Section
9.11 to change this setting. There is no automatic calibration value
available for conductivity range 1.

Use Multi-Point Calibration for individual calibration in each range. This
will restrict an individual calibration so that it is applied to one range
only. When using multi-point calibration, perform a calibration in each
range that you expect to use for best results.
The factory default is Single-Point Calibration. See Section 9.12 to
change this setting.
5.3 General Calibration Tips
For best results, periodic calibration with known accurate standards is
recommended. A maximum of one calibration point per range can be
performed. If multiple calibration points are used in the same range,
the most recent one will replace the previous one.
When the electrode is replaced, it is best to clear the calibration to the
factory default values (see Section 9.14).
Rinse or immerse the probe before calibration and between samples
with clean water (deionized water is ideal).
The PC 700 has non-volatile memory which will retain all calibration
values, as well as meter settings and memory values upon meter shut
down or unexpected power loss.
To protect from erroneous calibrations, the allowable tolerance is ±40%
of the factory default value.
Low conductivity standard solutions (less than 20 µS) are unstable and
are very temperature dependent. As a result, reproducible calibration
results are challenging in lowest measurement range #1 (0.00 to 20.0
µS).

TIP: When multiple pH slopes exist, the slope that is available to view
will depend on the measured value before entering SETUP mode.
For example, if pH calibration values pH 4.01, 7.00 and 10.01 were
completed, there will be two slope values; one that corresponds to pH
values below 7.00 and another that corresponds to pH values above
7.00. If the measured pH value was 5.23 when setup mode was
entered, the pH slope that corresponds to values lower than 7.00 will

be available to view. If no calibration is stored, the offset will be 0.0
mV and the slope is 100%.

10. CALCULATING TDS CONVERSION FACTOR
You can calibrate TDS using the value of the calibration standard solution
at a standard temperature such as 25 ºC. To determine the conductivity-
to-TDS conversion factor use the following formula:
Factor = Actual TDS ÷ Actual Conductivity @ 25 ºC
Both the Actual TDS and the Actual Conductivity values must be in the
same magnitude of units. For example, if the TDS value is in ppm the
conductivity value must be in µS; if the TDS value is in ppt the conductivity
value must be in mS.
Check your factor by multiplying the conductivity reading by the factor in
the above formula. The result should be in TDS value.
When the TDS factor is set to 1.0, Conductivity = TDS.

11. CALCULATING TEMPERATURE COEFFICIENTS
Where:
tc = Temperature coefficient 25 = 25 ºC
CT1 = Conductivity at Temp 1 CT2 = Conductivity at Temp 2
T1 = Temp 1 T2 = Temp 2
NOTE: A controlled temperature water bath is ideal for this procedure.
1. Immerse the probe into a sample of your solution and adjust the
temperature coefficient to 0% (that is, no compensation) by following
instructions as described in Section 9.9.
2. Wait for 5 minutes. Note T1 and CT1 (conductivity at T1).
3. Condition the sample solution and probe to a temperature (T2) that is
about 5 ºC to 10 ºC different from T1, and note the conductivity
reading CT2.
NOTE: Record your results for future reference. Ideally T1 and T2 should
bracket your measurement temperature, and should not differ by
more than 5 ºC.
4. Calculate the temperature coefficient of your solution according to the
formula shown above.
5. Enter the calculated temperature coefficient into the meter.
The calculated temperature coefficient will now be applied to all the meter
readings.
