Replace the pH electrode if difficulties are experienced during
calibration.
Note:
When replacing the pH electrode, do not use the plastic spacer.

Adjust the zero-point of the flow meter. This should be done
when the actual flow rate deviates from the flow rate displayed
in the UNICORN System Control module or if a flow rate is dis-
played in System Control when the pumps are off.
Note:
It is important that the zero-point adjustment of the flow meter
is performed properly or the actual flow rate may deviate from
the displayed. It is recommended that the adjustment is per-
formed by a GE Healthcare service engineer.
Flow meter
Prior to the adjustment it is very important to fill the system
completely with liquid so that no air is trapped in the flow meter.
This is best achieved by applying a slight back pressure when
the system is filled by using, for example, a relief valve on the
outlet valve used. When the system is properly primed, the zero-
point adjustment is performed by using the UNICORN instruction
System:Calibrate:Flow_FT141 (and when applicable also Sys-
tem:Calibrate:Flow_FT142).
Note:
The flow meter calibration should be checked every time the
system is moved.
