Cell output is insensitive to flow rate changes within the operating range of the analyzer’s flowmeter. The Model 306WA features a welded stainless sampling system for long-term, leak-free operation. While the analyzer is offered in several configurations, they are virtually identical with the exception of housing or options such as special meters.
1.2.2 Recorder /Meter Readout The meter installed on the 306WA is either analog or digital. The recorder used for analyzer signal readout is usually of the self-balancing potentiometric type. It should have an input inpedance of 20 20 20 20 20...

5.5.1 Electrolyte Replacement 5.5.1 Electrolyte Replacement Teledyne recommends that the electrolyte be replaced when foreign material is accumulated in the cell or when the cell sensitivity is noticeable decreased. This is typically identified when a large change is made to the span pot setting during calibration.
If the lead electrode is simply discolored, clean the entire cell accord- ing to the following procedure: a) Heat a quart of Teledyne cleaning solution to slightly below the boiling point, and completely fill the cell cavity with the heated solution.
