APT4000PH
ORP calibration
ORP calibration mode is automatically preset when ORP meas-
urement is configured. The potential of a redox electrode can
be calibrated using a redox buffer solution. For this purpose,
the difference between the potential measured and the poten-
tial specified for the calibration solution is determined. During
measurement, the APT4000PH then adds this difference to the
potential measured.

It is also possible to relate the elctrode potential to another ref-
erence system – such as the standard hydrogen electrode. In
that case, the temperature-corrected potential (see table) of
the reference electrode used must be entered. During measure-
ment, this value is then added to the ORP measured.
Please make sure that measurement and calibration tempera-
ture are the same, since the temperature response of the refer-
ence electrode is not automatically taken into account.
