bucket to catch any water that flows out.
12. Immerse the pH electrode in the glass jar containing the first
buffer solution (for example 4.01 pH).

13. Select the buffer value of the buffer solution in which the
electrode is immersed (for example 4.01 pH). The voltage
[mV] at the electrode in the first buffer solution (for example
4.01 pH) is measured, and assigned to the pH value.
14. Remove the pH electrode from the buffer solution, and rinse
with water.
15. Immerse the pH electrode in the glass jar containing the
second buffer solution (for example 7.00 pH).

16. Select the buffer value of the buffer solution in which the
electrode is immersed (for example 7.00 pH). The voltage
[mV] at the electrode in the second buffer solution (for
example 7.00 pH) is measured, and assigned to the pH value.
The slope is the straight line between both measured values.
The unit is mV/pH.
The slope can be presented graphically:

2. Select "Off" to disable the interval or select "On" to enable it.
3. If the interval is enabled, enter it in days (1-100).
9.13.3 Performing ORP calibration
The electrode sends the voltage [mV] that corresponds to the
ORP value to the controller. It indicates the voltage of all ions in
the water (summation parameter).
