Wipe the cable and bulkhead with a cloth dampened with a mild solution
of clean water and dish soap. Make sure sensors or port plugs are
installed in ProDSS 4-port cable assemblies so the bulkhead ports do not
get wet when cleaning. Exposure to water can cause damage or corrosion
to the bulkhead connectors not covered by the warranty.
For short-term storage, YSI recommends leaving the sensors installed on
the bulkhead. The ODO, pH, and pH/ORP sensors must be kept in a moist
air environment; therefore, place a small amount of water (5-10 mL) in the
calibration cup and tighten the retaining nut to seal the storage chamber.
For long-term storage, YSI recommends uninstalling the sensors
from the bulkhead and following each sensor's respective long-term
storage instructions. Inspect the bulkhead ports and cable connectors
for contamination. If dirty or wet, clean it with compressed air
62). Install the cap that protected the bulkhead during initial shipment.
Alternatively, install the bulkhead port plugs.
Remove light bio-fouling with a cloth soaked in a mild solution of
clean water and dish soap. Soak in vinegar to remove hard growth and
deposits. Use a plastic scrub brush to remove any remaining bio-fouling.
Rinse the sensor guard with clean water
NOTICE: Do not sand or polish the guard. Removal of the guard
coating can affect some sensor readings.
