English term or phrase: solution calibration solution

In the following context:
"Measure cooling system water with handheld conductivity, pH and ORP meters. If meter(s) is not available, put sensor(s) in beaker with conductivity, pH or ORP solution calibration solution."

I really don't know, what is meant here. Does anyone know?
