pH Standardization
Most customers can take advantage of our automatic standardization
procedure (below) for general pH standardization.
1. Connect the pH electrode to the BNC connector (channel A or B)
and, if desired, ATC connector to the temperature connector.
2. Press the CHANNEL key and turn the selected channel "ON".
3. Press the MODE key and select "1- pH".
4. Press STANDARDIZE and "3- Clear buffers to clear buffers". If all
previously entered buffers will be re-entered, it is not necessary to
clear buffers since the meter will replace the previous values.
Press CLEAR or measurement softkey to return to the
measurement screen.
5. Immerse the electrode in a buffer, stir (preferably with a stirbar)
and wait for a steady reading.
6. Press the STANDARDIZE key, "1- Auto-enter a buffer". Review the
checklist to be sure all steps have been followed and then press
ENTER. The meter will check the electrode and buffers. If the slope
is outside of 90 - 105%, an error message will be given.
7. The meter will then display the current measurement, temperature
and standards stored in memory. Begin measuring or repeat steps
5 and 6 to enter up to five buffers.
8. Press CAL DATA to review and graph the electrode calibration data.
Hints to achieve better accuracy:
• Allow time for the electrode to stabilize before beginning the
standardization.
• Standardize using at least two buffers, bracketing the expected pH
of your samples.
• Standardize at least daily for the most accurate readings.
• Open the fill hole on the electrode.
• Stir all buffers and samples.
• Rinse the electrode with DI water between samples and buffers.
• Always use fresh buffers.
pH Mode Standardize Menu
In pH mode, press STANDARDIZE and the pH Mode Standardize
Menu appears:
1). Auto-enter a buffer- use to standardize with a buffer from the
selected buffer set which is auto recognized by the meter, or
update an existing buffer. When the buffers are auto-entered the
standardization is made compensating for temperature.

8
2). Manual buffer entry- use to enter a buffer value by manually
entering the pH of the buffer. Since all buffers change pH with
temperature, when manually entering buffers, the exact pH of the
buffer at the current temperature must be entered (check the buffer
label).
3). Clear buffers- use to clear all buffers entered for the current
channel (pH mode). If all entered buffers are being re-entered, it is
usually not necessary to clear buffers before re-entering them.
4). Options Menu- A menu of additional specific pH mode settings
(see next section).
5). Cal reminder menu- use to set a timer reminding you to
recalibrate. The CAL! icon will appear on the main screen and an
exclamation mark will appear beside the buffers for which time
has expired. If strict calibration is set, when a calibration has
expired the CAL! icon appears, and "- - -" is displayed in place of
the measurement. No measurements can be obtained until a
calibration is performed.
When strict calibration is set, the calibration reminders for all
Note:
channels are turned ON, and can't be turned off from the Cal
Reminder Menu.
6). Select buffer set- There are six auto-recognition buffer sets and the
option to configure and use a custom buffer. Which ever set is
selected, the meter will autorecognize a buffer from that set.
Auto-recognition Buffer Sets:
1) 1.68, 3.56, 4.01, 6.86, 7.42, 9.18, 10.01, 12.46 @ 25°C (NIST buffers)
2) 4, 7, 10 @ 25°C (set to match Reagecon Buffers)
3) 2, 4, 7, 10, 12 @ 25°C (set to match Fisher Buffers - Default)
4) 2, 4, 7, 10, 12 @ 20°C
5) 1, 3, 6, 8, 10, 13@ 20°C
6) 1.09, 3.06, 4.65, 6.79, 9.23, 12.75 @ 25°C (DIN buffers)
7) Select custom buffer set
To create a custom buffer set, select #7 for custom buffers. Custom
buffers can have any numeric pH value, or can be selected from the
built-in temperature corrected buffers. Using the built-in buffers
allow temperature correction of the pH values of the buffers, offering
more accuracy.

9
pH Mode Options Menu
In pH mode, press STANDARDIZE and #4 - pH Option Menu appears:
1). Select resolution- use to set pH readings to 0.1, 0.01, or 0.001 pH
units.
2). Select stability criteria- use to set stability criteria to slow, medium
or fast to match the electrode's speed of response and the
variability of the signal allowed for the stability icon to be
displayed.
3). Select signal averaging- use to set filtering of the electrode signal to
very slow (10 readings), slow (8), medium (6), fast (4) or very fast
(2). Slower settings give more stable readings, although may
require longer times to reach stability
4). Set standardization delay- use to set a reading delay time for the
meter to wait before accepting an electrode signal during
standardization. Programming a standardization delay helps slow
responding electrodes reach equilibrium before the electrode signal
is accepted.
5). Set pH slope- use to set a known electrode slope used by the meter
with a zero- or single-point standardization. The normal default
slope is 59.16 mV/pH at 25°C. The meter allows between 80 and
120% efficiency to be entered.

When two or more standards are entered, the meter uses the
Note: actual determined slope(s).
6). Standardize menu- returns to the pH mode Standardization Menu.
7). Manual temperature menu- use to set a temperature to be used in
the absence of an ATC probe or to manually override the ATC.
8). Data alarm menu- use to set pH limits. If the limits are exceeded an
alarm indication is displayed ! and recorded with any data points
placed in the data log.
9). Set isopotential point- use to set an isopotential point for use in
high accuracy electrode measurements.
0). Select temperature probe type- Choose from auto-detect, 10 kOhm
(use with Denver temperature and pH/temperature probes), 30
kOhms and Pt1000.

1.) Select resolution- use to set mV readings to 1 or 0.1 millivolt

resolution.
2.) Select stability criteria- use to select stability criteria for slow,
medium or fast response to match the electrode's speed of
response and the variability of the signal allowed for the stability
icon to be displayed.
3.) Select signal averaging- use to set the meter to average readings
that are very slow (10 readings), slow (8), medium (6), fast (4) or
very fast (2). Slower settings give more stable readings, although
may require longer times to reach stability.
4.) Set standardization delay- use to set a length of time for the meter
to wait before entering a relative mV standardization.
5.) Set mV offset- use to manually enter a mV offset (same as in the
mV Standardize menu).

1. Connect the ion electrode to the BNC connector (channel A or B)

and, if desired, ATC connector to the temperature connector.
2. Press the CHANNEL key and turn the selected channel "ON".
3. Press the MODE key and select "3 - Ion"

The meter displays "---", indicating no valid measurement, until

Note: at least one ion standard has been entered.

4. Press STANDARDIZE and "3- Clear standards" to clear standards. If

all previously entered standards will be re-entered, it is not
necessary to clear standards since the meter will replace the
previous values. If re-entering only some standards or changing the
electrode all the old standards should be cleared. Press CLEAR or
measurement softkey to return to the measurement screen.
5. Prepare a standard, and add the appropriate Ionic Strength Adjuster
(ISA) solution to the standard (typically 1 mL of ISA for every 50 mL
of standard).
6. Immerse the electrode in the solution, stir (preferably with a stir bar)
continuously and wait for a stable reading. It is not uncommon for
an ISE to take several minutes to stabilize.
7. Press STANDARDIZE and select "1 - Enter a standard" to add a
standard. If this is the first standard being entered, select the ion
name and units. Review the checklist to be sure all steps have been
followed and then press ENTER. Enter the value of the standard.
8. The meter waits for the standardization delay time to pass (see next
section) and then waits for a stable signal. It then checks the
electrode and standard. If the slope is outside of 10 - 120% an error
message will be given.
9. The meter will then display the current measurement, temperature
(if ATC is connected) and standards stored in memory. Begin
measuring or repeat steps 5 -7 to enter up to seven standards.
10. Press CAL DATA to review and graph the electrode calibration data.

12
Hints to achieve better accuracy:
• Add Ionic Strength Adjuster to each standard and sample (typically 1
mL of ISA for every 50 mL of standard or sample). Check the pH of
samples for those ISE with specific pH ranges and adjust the pH as
needed.
• Standardize at least daily for the most accurate results.
• Always use fresh standards.
• Standardize using at least two standards, bracketing the expected
range of your samples.
• Standardize from low to high concentrations.
• Use standards and samples near the same temperature.
• Allow time for the electrode to stabilize before beginning the
standardization. ISE electrodes can take several minutes to reach
stability.
• Open the fill hole on the electrode.
Ion Mode Standardize Menu
In ion mode, press STANDARDIZE and the Ion Mode Standardize Menu
appears:
1). Enter a standard - use to add a new standard or update (reenter) an
existing standard. Follow the prompts. With the first standard you
select the ion name and units.
2). Set ion slope - use to manually enter a slope for the selected ion
electrode. Used with a one-point ion calibration. Useful if the ISE
has a known, stable slope, so that measurements can be made after
entering a single ion standard.

When two or more standards are entered, the meter uses the
Note: actual determined slope(s).

3). Clear standards - use to clear standards for the electrode

standardization selected. If all standards are being re-entered, it is
usually not necessary to clear before re-entering them.
4). Options menu- use to set various additional parameters to the ion
mode (see next section).
5). Cal reminder menu - use to set a timer reminding you to
recalibrate. The CAL! icon will appear on the main screen and an
exclamation mark will appear beside the buffers for which time has
expired. If strict calibration is set (see Meter Setup Menu), when a
calibration has expired the CAL! icon appears, and "- - -" is
displayed in place of the measurement. No measurements can be
obtained until a calibration is performed.
