Operation ProLab 1000 4.5.5 Why calibrate? When do you have to calibrate? Buffer sets for calibration 40 pH calibration pH electrodes age. This changes the zero point (asymmetry) and slope of the pH electrode. As a result, an inexact measured value is displayed. Calibration determines the current values of the zero point and slope of the electrode and stores them. Thus, you should calibrate at regular intervals.

ProLab 1000 Maintenance, cleaning, disposal 5 Maintenance, cleaning, disposal 5.1 Maintenance The only maintenance activity required is replacing the batteries. Note For maintenance of the electrodes refer to the relevant operating manuals. Replacing the batteries 1 Using a screw driver, unscrew the screws (2) of the lid of the battery compartment. 2 1 ba75576e04 01/2011 2 Open the battery compartment (1) on the underside of the meter.
Maintenance, cleaning, disposal ProLab 1000 CAUTION Make sure that the poles of the batteries are the right way round. The ± signs on the batteries must correspond to the ± signs in the battery compartment. Only use leakproof alkaline manganese batteries. 5.2 Cleaning Occasionally wipe the outside of the meter with a damp, lint-free cloth. Disinfect the housing with isopropanol as required. CAUTION The housing components are made out of synthetic materials (polyurethane, ABS, PMMA), metal and glass.
