what is the best calibration for this meter? not really sure what solution to get!

FROM HM DIGITAL: The PH-200 meter is three-point checked and factory calibrated to pH 7.0. While this is suitable for many applications, It does feature digital auto calibration to pH 4.0, 7.0 and 10.0. The meter should be re-calibrated once per month and it is recommended to re-calibrate it as close as possible to the pH level that will be tested in order to get proper results and prolong the life of your meter.A free packet of pH 7.0 buffer is included with the meter. Additional pH buffers for calibration are available for purchase.

Calibrate it with a 7.0 calibration solution. I also recommend storing it in their storage solution. Be sure to read the manual or you may make incorrect assumptions about certain things.

You need 2 things for your meter. 1) A bottle storage solution and 2) Bottles of calibration solution. For the storage solution, do a search on Amazon for "electrode storage solution" and buy a bottle of one of the solutions that come up. For the calibration solution, search "pH calibration solution" and buy a bottle of whichever solution you need. If measuring the pH of acidic things, you really only need to get a bottle of 4.01 and 7.00 calibration solutions. If measuring alkaline things, get a bottle of 7.00 and 10.00 solutions.

U can also check out mjlorton on YouTube...he reviews the meter...great for the price.

I found nothing in the instructions on how to calibrate. We just installed ours and so far it's accurate. Time will tell.

Make sure it's the Aviva Plus test strips. . . Make sure your battery is working. . . If this is not the problem you can always call the 1-800 number for Accu-Chek so they can help you reset your meter.. .. Good luck.

I didn't have any problem. However I sent mine back due to I didn't/don't think it gave me accurate readings.

Not even sure what a kind of meter that is. Sorry. I will say you will be better off buying one of the better ( Higher priced) units. You can hook the sensors right on the wires inside the circuit box in the house. This one is cheap junk with no support and are not even sold by B&D; anymore.

To be honest this meter never works right. It always gives me crazy readings. I've never bee able to trust it. I would return it if I could. WWW.hiselconstruction.com

Sorry Scott, I can't. I only know there is no uniform calibrating of meters - and therefore they are all different. After trying 3 - I found, for me, the Freestyle Lite to be the most accurate. My daughter uses One Touch - and her readings come in high too.

Buy a P3 P4400 Kill A Watt meter......they're about 19 bucks and will tell you exactly how much power its using

Make sure after you plug in the battery that you put is on a flat surface so it can calibrate properly. Also make sure that the motor cover is keeping the motor from backing out.

I have not yet encountered this problem. I would think re-calibration would have to be done by service technician people. I do not find any measurement "0 in" feature in on my unit, such as what my digital micrometer has. To be accurate, a definate test fixture would need to be used for calibration.

i am using meters fromwww.simmeters.com. they have the full set of a10c meters available on their webstore. i will be buying the wet compass from simkits.com

what meter are you using?,, Contour meter are no coding now. hope that helps

I bought those too, the readings with the no-calibration strips still came out as 0.1's almost all the time with occasional 0.2's just like the first set of calibrated strips that I had bought with the meter originally. I'm an engineer and don't know exactly how they do it, but nanoscale manufacturing these days is doing amazing things so maybe the calibration sample is on the strip sub-microscopically and we simply can't see it. Just follow the instructions and be happy.

The minimum resolution is 0.1 lux. I would recommend looking for another meter that has a lower resolution if you care about accurately measuring to 0.1 lux resolution.

These are cheap little Meters. Very finicky. Yours sounds like it is faulty. My suggestion would be to return it for a new one.

We have this test meter for our community well. We fluorinate according to the EPA guidelines. It works well when it is calibrated. You have to have the 1% fluoride solution and the tabs to calibrate the meter. We had the meter for about 4 months and the sensor went bad. The company replaced it immediately at no cost but with the wrong part. It took several weeks to replace it with the right part. It was on B/O for some time. Now that we use it daily I can get an idea of the level we need to be at. It's a field test and they are not 100% but close enough for what we need. When our levels were low the meter just gave a Lo code. It am not confident it would give you a zero reading you may be looking for.
