If you mistakenly started the ORP calibration process, you may have messed up the default calibration process in which case a complete factory reset may be needed in order to restore the ORP calibration to default. That or you will need the pH 4 solution and quinhydrone. Once your ORP probe settles in, you can use the 400mv solution to verify the calibration by placing the probe in the solution and leaving it in there for several hours to see what it reads.
Thank you very much for your comments. ORP has been going up from time to time, today is one week after instalation so I hope I didnīt messed up the configuration.
