Electrode Care; Replacing The Electrode - LaMotte Tracer 1766 Manual

Never dispose of used batteries or rechargeable batteries in household
waste. As consumers, users are legally required to take used batteries
to appropriate collection sites, the retail store where the batteries were
purchased, or wherever batteries are sold.

ELectrode Care

1. Always rinse the electrode in distilled or deioized water between
measurements to avoid cross-contamination of the samples. Double
rinsing is recommended when high accuracy is required.
2. Do not touch the electrodes. Touching the surface of the platinized
electrodes may damage and reduce the life of the electrodes.

Replacing the Electrode

The TRACER is shipped with an electrode attached. Electrode life is limited
and is dependant on the frequency of use and care. If the electrode needs to
be replaced, follow these steps for removing and connecting electrodes.
1. Turn meter off.
2. To remove the electrode, turn the collar counter-clockwise and
remove it.
3. Gently rock the electrode from side to side, pulling it downwards, until
it disconnects from the meter.
4. To attach an electrode, carefully plug the electrode into the meter
socket. Note that the electrode connector is keyed to ensure a proper
connection.
CAUTION: Take case to align pins carefully. Bent or broken ins will
cause the meter to malfunction.
5. Tighten the electrode collar firmly enough to make a good seal. A
rubber gasket will seal the electrode with the meter.
Disposal: Do not dispose of this instrument in household
waste. The user is obligated to take end-of-life devices to a
designated collection point for the disposal of electrical and
electronic equipment.
