clogged.
The filling solution has
contamination.
The sensor has become
dry.
The sample temperature is
low, or there is a large
temperature difference
between samples.
The filling hole is closed.
The probe is not
conditioned for reducing
samples.
Air bubbles are around or
below the probe tip.
The electrical connection
through the reference
junction is not sufficient.
An incorrect standard
solution was used or the
standard solution has
contamination.
The protective tape was not
removed from the filling
hole.

(within 2 °C (3.6 °F)).
Open the filling hole during use.
Soak the probe in Reducing
solution for ORP electrodes for
3 to 10 minutes before sample
measurement.
Carefully tap or shake the probe
to remove air bubbles.
Shake the probe in the solution
from side to side to refresh the
reference junction.
