Essential instructions Read this page before proceeding! Emerson designs, manufactures, and tests its Rosemount products to meet many national and international standards. Because these instruments are sophisticated technical products, you must properly install, use, and maintain them to ensure they continue to operate within their normal specifications.
Plan Plan Electrode preparation Remove electrode from shipping container. Remove the protective boot covering the electrode bulb. Rinse away salt film with clean water and then shake the electrode so that the internal solution fills the bulb, thus removing any air trapped there. Note Do not allow lubricant to coat electrode bulb or reference junction.

59.17 mV/pH. Over time the sensor will age, both in the process and in storage, and this will result in reduced slope values. To ensure accurate readings, Emerson recommends replacing the electrode when the slope value falls below 47 to 49 mV/pH.
Calibration and maintenance Electrode refresh procedure ™ The pressurized electrode in the Rosemount Hx338+ has a storage life of one year without an electrode refresh. At one year of shelf life, all sensors should be refreshed for peak performance. Please follow this procedure for refreshing the sensor. Prerequisites Select the two refresh solutions.
Troubleshooting Troubleshooting Cleaning or replacing the electrodes Electrodes should respond rapidly. Sluggishness, offsets, and erratic readings are indicators that the electrodes may need cleaning or replacement. Use a mild non-abrasive detergent to clean and remove oil deposits from the electrode. Soak electrodes for 30 to 60 minutes in a 5% hydrochloric acid solution to remove scale deposits.
