→ LOW CAL SOL = minimum value = 100 ppb Na
→ HIGH CAL SOL = (100 ppb x 10) = 1000 ppb Na
Example 2: sample concentration of Na
→ LOW CAL SOL = ≥ sample concentration of Na
→ HIGH CAL SOL = (500 ppb x 10) = 5000 ppb Na
Note: The values LOW CAL SOL and HIGH CAL SOL must be entered into the system (see
on page 19 or Two point calibration

Automatic calibration

For an automatic calibration, the calibration solution must be between 10 ppm and 2000 ppm and
must respect the following rules:
• CAL SOL minimum = 10 ppm
• CAL SOL = (sample concentration of Na
Example 1: sample concentration of Na
→ CAL SOL = minimum value = 10 ppm Na
Example 2: sample concentration of Na
→ CAL SOL = (1 ppm x 1000) = 1000 ppm Na
Note: The value CAL SOL must be entered into the system (see

Start calibration

Select the START CALIBRATION option to calibrate the analyzer manually.

Calibrate known addition

1. Select the CAL.KNOWN ADDITION option to calibrate the analyzer by mixing the sample with a
known concentration of calibration solution. The concentration of the calibration solution is
defined in Automatic calibration setup
2. The instrument first checks that the volume of calibration solution remaining is enough. If not, a
warning alarm is activated and the instrument returns to normal measurement with the original
parameters.
3. If the volume of solution is OK, the background point measurement (P0) to be used as the base
measurement value is taken. This is the measurement against the sample before any additions of
the calibration solution have been made.
4. The measurement must be stable and less than 1 per thousand of the calibration solution
concentration, otherwise the instrument returns to normal measurement with the original
parameters. Provided the measurement is OK, the P0 measurement details are displayed on
screen.
5. If the reactivation frequency parameter is not zero (as is highly recommended), the electrode will
be reactivated.
6. When the reactivation process is complete, the overflow vessel is rinsed to remove all traces of
sample.
7. After rinsing, the overflow vessel is re-filled with sample plus 2mL of the calibration solution.
8. The sample is then measured and the details displayed against P1.
9. When the measurement is stable, the details are displayed at the top of the screen against
measurement P1.
10. The overflow vessel is then rinsed and re-filled with sample plus 20mL of the calibration solution.
11. This sample is then measured and the details displayed against P2.
12. Once the final measurement is stable, the offset and slope for this calibration are calculated.
13. The default values of the offset and slope are displayed along with the calculated values for the
last and current calibration.
14. A message is displayed indicating the success or failure of the calibration.
