Replacing Sponges (Hcgsn); Replacement Sponges; In The Empty Pedestal, Place The Sponge Upright - Geodesic Sensor Net Technical Manual

Replacing Sponges (HCGSN)

Each HCGSN comes with 10 replacement sponges. Sponges must be specially
prepared by the manufacturer; for additional replacement sponges (Figure 9-15),
contact EGI.
You should replace only sponges that have fallen out of their pedestals. Do not remove
a sponge from a pedestal and replace it, because you could damage the electrode.
No disassembly and no special tools are required to replace sponges.
Position Sponge in Pedestal
1 Position the dry sponge in the pedestal so that the electrode sits in the hole in
the middle of the sponge.
Make sure the sponge is not tilted (Figure 9-16).
