5 CALIBRATION
5.1 Preparing the Transmitter for Calibration
Before starting calibration, make sure you are in the correct measurement mode.
When you switch on the transmitter, the transmitter starts up in the units last used.
For example, if you shut the transmitter off in “mV” units, the transmitter will read
“mV” units when you switch the transmitter on.
Be sure to remove the protective electrode storage bottle or rubber cap of the
electrode before calibration or measurement. If the electrode has been stored dry,
wet the electrode in tap water for 10 minutes before calibrating or taking readings to
saturate the pH electrode surface and minimize drift.
Wash your electrode in deionized water after use, and store in electrode storage
solution. If storage solution is not available, use pH 4.01 or 7.00 buffer solution.
Do not reuse buffer solutions after calibration. Contaminants in the solution can
affect the calibration, and eventually the accuracy of the measurements.
The transmitter features two internationally recognized buffer standards. Select the
buffer standard you require in the CAL mode Select from the following buffer
options:
• First-point: pH 7.00 (USA buffer) or pH 6.86 (NIST buffer).
• Second point: pH 4.01, 9.18, or 10.1.
NOTE: When transmitter is entered into the CAL mode, the 4/20 mA output
current will be automatically held. ‘HOLD’ will be displayed on LCD. After
Calibration and transmitter is returned to MEAS mode, the ‘HOLD’ is
automatically released. Please refer to page 18, section 6.4 for more details.

7 PROBE CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Since your pH electrode is susceptible to dirt and contamination, clean it every one
to three months depending on the extent and condition of use.
NOTE: For specialty electrode care, consult the instruction manual included with
your electrode.
pH electrode storage
For best results, always keep the pH bulb wet. Use the protective electrode storage
bottle or rubber cap filled with electrode storage solution to store your electrode.
Also, you can store in a pH 4 buffer with 1/100 part of saturated KCl. Other pH
buffers are OK for storage, but NEVER use distilled water for storage.
After measuring
1. Rinse the pH electrode and reference junction in de-ionized water.
2. Store the electrode as recommended above in “pH electrode storage,” or
as recommended by the manufacturer.
3. Prior to next use, rinse the liquid junction with de-ionized water and tap dry
– never wipe electrode.
NOTE: If this does not restore electrode to normal response, see “Reactivating the
pH electrode” section below.
pH electrode cleaning
• Salt deposits: Dissolve the deposits by immersing the electrode in tap
water for ten to fifteen minutes. Then thoroughly rinse with distilled water.
• Oil/Grease film: wash electrode pH bulb gently in some detergent and
water. Rinse electrode tip with distilled water or use a general purpose
electrode cleaner (see ordering information).
• Clogged reference junction: Heat a diluted KCl solution to 60 to 80 °C.
Place the sensing part of the electrode into the heated solution for about
10 minutes. Allow the electrode to cool in some unheated KCl solution.
• Protein deposits: Prepare a 1% pepsin solution in 0.1 M of HCl. Set the
electrode in the solution for five to ten minutes. Rinse the electrode with
distilled water.
21
Reactivating the pH electrode

If stored and cleaned properly, your pH electrode should be ready for immediate
use. However, a dehydrated bulb may cause sluggish response. To rehydrate the
bulb, immerse electrode in a pH 4 buffer solution for 10 to 30 minutes. If this fails,
the electrode requires activation.
pH electrode activation (for glass body electrodes only)
WARNING: Only qualified persons proficient with the safe handling of dangerous
chemicals should perform the procedure below. Provide proper containers, fume
hoods, ventilation, and waste disposal. Safety goggles and protective clothing must
be worn while performing this procedure.
1. Dip or stir the pH electrode in alcohol for 5 minutes.
2. Leave the electrode in tap water for 15 minutes.
3. Dip and stir the electrode in concentrate acid (such as HCL or H2SO4) for
five minutes.
4. Repeat Step 2.
5. Dip and stir in strong base (NaOH) for five minutes.
6. Leave for 15 minutes in tap water.
7. Now test with standard calibration buffer solutions to see if electrode yields
acceptable results. You may repeat step 3 through 6 up to three times for
better response. If response does not improve, then your electrode is no
longer functioning. Replace with new electrode – call your distributor for
information.
