7.1 Complete a 2-point calibration

Complete a calibration after reagent installation or when an optical system component is replaced.
The standardization procedure makes the sample first hard, then soft.
1. Remove the plug from the top port of the colorimeter. Refer to
2. Push HARD CAL. The hard cal LED is on continuously.
3. When the hard cal LED flashes, add two drops of Magnesium Standard Solution into the
colorimeter.
4. When the LED stops flashing and is on continuously, wait for the cycle to complete.
At the end of the cycle, the LED sets to off to show a successful calibration.
5. HARD CAL failure: When the LED starts to flash, push HARD CAL to confirm a hard cal failure.
Do steps 2–4 again.
6. Push ZERO CAL. The zero cal LED is on continuously.
7. When the zero cal LED flashes, add two drops of EDTA Solution, 10 g/L, into the colorimeter.
8. When the LED stops flashing and is on continuously, wait for the cycle to complete.
At the end of the cycle, the LED is set to off to show a successful calibration.
9. ZERO CAL failure: When the LED starts to flash, push ZERO CAL to confirm a zero cal failure.
Do steps 1–7 again.
10. Replace the plug in the top port of the colorimeter.
Section 8 Operation
After the instrument power is set to on, the SOFT LED flashes until the first reading cycle is
completed. The cycle takes 2 minutes. Then, the SOFT LED shows a stable green light.
The instrument operates maintenance-free for a minimum of 2 months. Periodically, do a visual
check to see if bubbles are in the tubing. If there are bubbles, look for an air leak. Refer to
