5 Operation: Calibration of the electrode and
pH transmitter
Before a calibration immerse the electrode for
10minutesinapH7.00orpH4.01buffersolution
whilst connected it to the transmitter. A 2-point
calibration is recommended, e.g. pH 7.00 and pH 4.01
buffersolutions.Forfurtherdetailspleaseconsultthe
