Linear compensation adjusts the reading by a factor expressed as a ”% per °C” (deviation
from 25 °C). Use only if the sample has a well-characterized linear temperature coefficient.
The factory default setting is 2.0% / °C.
8.2.3.2 pH Parameters
Select pH and press [ENTER].
Select the Drift control for calibration as Auto (drift and time criteria have to be fulfilled) or
Manual (The user can decide when a signal is stable enough to complete calibration)
followed by the relevant buffer table for the automatic buffer recognition. If the drift rate is less
than 0.4 mV over a 19 second interval then the reading is stable and the calibration is done
using the last reading. If the drift criteria is not met within 300 seconds then the calibration
times out and the message ”Calibration Unsuccessful Press Enter to Continue” is displayed.
For automatic buffer recognition during calibration, select the buffer solution set that will be
used: Mettler-9, Mettler-10, NIST Tech, NIST Std = JIS Std, HACH, CIBA, MERCK, WTW or None.
See Section 20 for buffer values. If the auto buffer feature will not be used or if the available
buffers are different from those above, select None.
STC is the solution temperature coefficient in units of pH / °C referenced to 25 °C (Default =
0.000 for most applications). For pure waters, a setting of 0.016 pH / °C should be used. For
low conductivity power plant samples near 9 pH, a setting of 0.033 pH / °C should be used.
These positive coefficients compensate for the negative temperature influence on the pH of these
samples.
IP is the isothermal point value (Default = 7.000 for most applications). For specific
compensation requirements or non standard inner buffer value, this value can be changed.
The option to enter a fixed Calibration Temperature is given. ”Fixed” allows a specific
temperature value to be entered. Selecting ”No” means the Temperature configured under 8.2.2
will be used for the Calibration.
Pressing [ENTER] again will bring up the Save Changes dialog. Selecting No will discard the
entered values and return to the measurement display screen, selecting Yes will save changes
made.
