Page 3: Description
BathyCorrometer Pro’ ® Description The BathyCorrometer Pro’ (BCM) is an underwater corrosion voltmeter powered ® by an integral, rechargeable battery pack. The unit is fitted with a 3½ digit, high impedance (1MΩ) liquid crystal display (LCD) voltmeter. The unit can read voltages from 0.000V to -1.999V DC. The structure to water potential is detected by an internal Ag/AgCl/seawater half-cell electrode of robust and proven construction. -

BathyCorrometer Pro’ ® Unpacking Please check that all items are present in the kit by referring to the relevant datasheet for your kit (Basic, Standard or Complete). If any items are missing contact your supplier immediately. The packaging should be kept for future use should the unit need to be returned for repair or put into storage. -
Page 6: Charger
Instruction Manual remove any debris from inside the red nose cone then recharge the unit using the battery charger supplied. BathyCorrometer Pro’ Charger ® The BathyCorrometer Pro’ battery charger is ® supplied with several mains plug options (European, UK, USA, Australia, Asia), select the correct configuration for your mains supply, clicking it into position on the charger input. -
Page 7: Calibration
® purchased with this kit or available separately. In line with Buckleys policy of continuous product improvement, a revised reference cell (6004-0111) known as the K-SAT cell has been introduced to replace the previously available K Series (6004-0005) cell. - Page 8 Instruction Manual The effect of this is that the voltage reading obtained by a correctly-functioning silver-silver chloride (Ag-AgCl) half-cell in 3% sea water at 25C will be approximately - 54mV for the K-SAT cell, rather than the -42mV expected with the earlier K Series. As with all Silver-Silver Chloride chemistry, the exact voltage obtained will depend on the conditions, particularly water temperature and salinity.
- Page 9 BathyCorrometer Pro’ ® • Grease and fit the shorting plug and immerse the BathyCorrometer Pro’ in a seawater test solution (3% salinity), ® ensuring that the level covers the red nose cone. Allow the electrodes (K-Series and internal Ag/AgCI electrode) to stabilise. •...

Page 10: Using Zinc And Magnesium Test Blocks
Only one test block should be used at a time. Commercial grade magnesium anodes are either high-purity 99% magnesium or a magnesium, zinc, aluminium alloy. Buckleys supply the Mg/Al/Zn alloy material for testing the BathyCorrometer Pro’. The aluminium content of the anode would be ®... -

Page 12: Safety
Instruction Manual If the unit has been used in a dirty environment the red nose cone should be flushed with clean seawater to remove any contamination, as this would shorten the life of the Ag/AgCI/seawater half-cell electrode. Clean the bulkhead socket in the handle of the BathyCorrometer Pro’... -
Page 13: Long-Term Storage
BathyCorrometer Pro’ ® Long-term storage Laying-up Flush the BCM in clean seawater to remove any contamination from the red ● nose cone and allow to dry. If salt encrustation is seen on the red nose cone, remove the Ag/AgCI/seawater half-cell electrode and briefly wash in fresh water, immediately afterwards thoroughly rinse in salt water (3%). -
