3.3 Precautionary labels
Read all labels and tags attached to the instrument. Personal injury or damage to the instrument
could occur if not observed. A symbol on the instrument is referenced in the manual with a
precautionary statement.
Electrical equipment marked with this symbol may not be disposed of in European
domestic or public disposal systems. Return old or end-of-life equipment to the
manufacturer for disposal at no charge to the user.
3.4 Product hazards
Chemical exposure hazard. Obey laboratory safety procedures and wear all of the
personal protective equipment appropriate to the chemicals that are handled. Refer to
the current safety data sheets (MSDS/SDS) for safety protocols.
Chemical exposure hazard. Dispose of chemicals and wastes in accordance with local,
regional and national regulations.
Section 4 Preparation for use
Prepare the probe for calibration and measurement as follows.
1. Remove the sensor protection cap from the probe.
2. Rinse the probe with deionized water. Blot dry with a lint-free cloth. Do not wipe the tip of the
probe.
3. Condition the probe before use. To condition the probe, soak the probe in approximately 25 mL of
the lowest concentration standard solution used for calibration for 30 to 60 minutes. Do not add
the ISA to the standard solution.
Note: Condition the probe each day for 15 to 30 minutes or for 30 to 60 minutes after long-term storage.
4. Make sure that the meter has the correct date and time settings. The service-life time stamp in
the probe comes from the date and time settings in the meter.
Note: Some meters automatically open the date and time settings when the meter starts for the first time, or
after battery replacement.
5. Connect the probe to the meter.
Section 5 Calibration
The procedure that follows is applicable to meters that can connect to Intellical ISE probes. Refer to
the applicable meter documentation for meter operation and probe-specific settings.
5.1 Calibration notes
Read the notes that follow before calibration.
• Measure the standard solutions from lowest to highest concentration for best results.
• Keep all of the solutions (standard solutions and samples) at the same temperature (± 2 °C
(± 3.6 °F)) for best results.
• Stir the standards and samples at a slow and constant rate to prevent the formation of a vortex.
• Use the default calibration options or change the options in the probe settings menu.
