Macro 900 Operation Manual V3

11. After Use

The MAP 2000/2100 should always be cleaned after every use.
It is advisable to clean the Probe after use with the cable attached. This
will prevent any water entering the Probe's socket and will allow any
deposits to be removed from the connector collar and shell.
The Sleeve on the MAP 2000/2100 can be removed by unscrewing to allow
cleaning of the individual electrodes. After every use, remove the protective
Sleeve End Cap then unscrew the sleeve. With the Sleeve removed, the
individual electrodes are very vulnerable, so please handle the Probe with
extreme care. If you drop it, it's going to break!
Rinse the exposed electrodes, the inside of the Sleeve and the Sleeve End Cap
with fresh, clean water. Shake the water from inside the Sleeve, then reattach.
Dry the outside of the Probe using a soft cloth.
Remember to replace the pH/ORP storage cap after use. Failure to do so
will damage the electrode. For more details, see Keeping the Electrodes Moist in
section 13.
Never clean the Probe with solvents, alcohol or concentrated
acid/alkaline based cleaning products such as Decon 90. These
products can strip the anodised finish from the Probe and damage the
plastic and rubber components. Damage caused by the use of
aggressive cleaning agents or solvents is not covered by your
warranty.
Store the Probe without the protective Sleeve End Cap fitted in order to allow
free air circulation around the individual electrodes.
TIP: Occasional application of a smear of silicone grease or similar lubricant to
the connector O-rings and thread, Sleeve thread, the protective Sleeve End Cap
O-ring and the inside rim of the lower Probe Sleeve will make fitting and
removal of these parts easier.
