Performing 1-point calibration
Calibration: pH electrodes need to be calibrated with pH standard buffer solutions before a
proper pH measurement can be made. Calibration is to display the correct pH value when the
meter receives the mV value signal from the pH electrode.
Slope: the linear coefficient between mV and pH according to theoretical value (e.g. -
59.16mV/pH @ 25° C which means 100% slope);
Offset: the mV value when pH value is 7.00. (Theoretical value is 0 mV);
Begin by ensuring the meter is plugged in, the electrode is properly attached and the meter is
powered on by pressing
Place the pH electrode in the prepared buffer solution, stir for approximately 5 seconds and
wait for an additional 30-60 seconds.

When the reading is stable (normally the reading does not change in 5s), press button-
to lock the reading and finish 1 point calibration. The buffer value (e.g. pH 7.00)
with the temperature is displayed on the screen; the meter can recognize the buffer
automatically (auto buffer recognition).
The 1-point calibration is finished; now we have 3 options:

Note: With the 1-point calibration only the offset is adjusted. If the pH electrode was previously
calibrated with 2-point calibration the previously stored slope will remain. Otherwise theoretical
100% slope (-59.16 mV / pH @25° C) will be used.
