Problem Solving
Err 1
- offset value (E
0
) out of range
Check correct buffer is used.
Check mV reading for pH 7 buffer is 0
±
30 mV. If it
is not, clean or replace the electrode.
Err 2
- slope out of range
Slope less than 85%, or not calculable.
Electrode needs cleaning, conditioning or
replacing. Check correct buffers are used.
Slope more than 105.0%.
Check calibration buffers.
NOTE:
Where 0 mV/pH unit = 0%, and
59.16 mV/pH unit = 100% (at 25
°
C)
Err 3
- pH buffer outside temperature limits
pH buffers must be between 5
°
C and 50
°
C for
accurate calibration.
.
Displayed (out of range)
Check electrode is connected and immersed in
sample. Check wetting cap is removed.
Data Entry Errors
Date flashes and reverts to previous setting - invalid
date entered.
Entered temperature value changes to –5.0 or 105.0
- the meter will not accept values outside this
range.
Dashes displayed instead of buffer value during
calibration buffer set up - that buffer has already
been selected for a cal point. Cal points must have
different values.
