6.6.1 The Calibration

To access the calibration screens from the main menu, select

Screens

Other Functions, Hardware. Advance through the screens until

 

you see one that displays “SDI-12 DATA.” Select this screen to

 

display the following:

 

 

 

 

 

 

NO SDI-12 SONDE

 

 

 

SETUP KNOWN SONDES

 

 

 

SCAN SDI-12 SONDES

 

 

 

 

 

 

Select “SETUP KNOWN SONDES” and then select “DONE.” You

 

will see a screen similar to the following that will list the param-

 

eters you can calibrate.

 

 

 

 

 

SELECT PARAMETER

 

 

 

TO CALIBRATE:

 

 

 

pH5 DO5 ORP5 DONE

 

 

 

 

 

 

The sonde’s address will appear after the parameter (such as

 

pH0 and pH5). If you have multiple sondes attached, use the

 

arrow key to select the correct one to calibrate.

 

Depending upon the parameter you selected, a series of screens

 

will be displayed to step you through the calibration process.

 

• pH - You will be given the choice of three different pH

 

solutions: 4.00, 7.00, and 10.00. After making your

 

selection, rinse the probe and place in the pH buffer. If

 

the reading is off by more than 0.5 pH units, you will

 

asked to verify if the reading is correct.

 

• DO - For dissolved oxygen, you can choose between two

 

methods: DO Standard and Saturation. The saturation

 

method requires a temperature reading between 0.0°

 

and 47.0° C. You will also need to enter your altitude

 

and barometric pressure.

 

• ORP - You will asked to enter the value of your

 

calibration standard.

 

When calibration is complete, select “DONE” to proceed to the

 

validation screen. If you do not want to validate any parameters,

 

select “DONE” again to return to the Hardware options screens.

6.6.2The Validation Screen The validation screen appears after you select “DONE” on the calibration screen. It will be similar to the screen shown below.
