FiveEasy pH Sensor Calibration Guide | How-to Video (2/3)

Summary

This instructional video guides users through the pH sensor calibration process, including preparation, calibration steps, and sensor maintenance. It covers the use of FiveEasyTM (up to 3-point calibration) and FiveEasy PlusTM (up to 5-point calibration), highlighting the importance of using fresh calibration solutions, proper cleaning, and drying of the sensor after each calibration point. The video also explains how to store calibration data, check sensor performance, and clean the sensor for storage. The process ensures accurate pH measurements and prolongs the sensor's lifespan.

Takeaways

• 😀 Calibrate up to 3 points with FiveEasy™ and up to 5 points with FiveEasy Plus™.
• 😀 Always remove the protective cap from the sensor before use.
• 😀 Clean the sensor with deionized water to ensure accurate readings.
• 😀 Dry the sensor thoroughly after each cleaning or calibration step.
• 😀 Prepare fresh calibration buffer solutions before starting the calibration.
• 😀 Press to initiate the first calibration point with the appropriate buffer solution.
• 😀 After completing the final calibration point, the pH value of the buffer solution is recognized.
• 😀 Rinse and dry the sensor between each calibration point for accuracy.
• 😀 Continue the calibration process by dipping the sensor into the next buffer solution and pressing to continue.
• 😀 Once calibration is complete, store the calibration data and check the electrode performance by pressing and viewing the last saved calibration data.
• 😀 After calibration, clean the sensor again and place it in an appropriate storage solution to preserve its functionality.

Q & A

What is the maximum number of calibration points that FiveEasyTM allows?

FiveEasyTM allows calibrations with up to 3 points.

How many calibration points can be used with the FiveEasy PlusTM model?

FiveEasy PlusTM allows calibrations with up to 5 points.

What is the first step in the calibration process?

The first step is to unscrew the humidification cap from the sensor.

How should the pH sensor be cleaned before calibration?

The pH sensor should be washed with deionized water and then dried.

What should be prepared before starting the calibration?

New buffer solutions should be prepared for the calibration process.

What should you do after each calibration point?

After each calibration point, the sensor should be washed with deionized water and dried.

What should you do if you want to reject a calibration point?

You can press the button to reject the calibration or continue to the next calibration point.

How do you finalize the calibration process?

To finalize the calibration, press the button to finish, and the calibration data will be stored.

How can you check the performance of the electrode after calibration?

You can check the electrode's performance by pressing and holding the button, which will show the most recent saved calibration data.

What should be done with the sensor after completing the calibration?

After calibration, the sensor should be cleaned and placed in an appropriate storage solution.
