10. CARE & MAINTENANCE
• Never immerse the tester over the maximum immersion level.
• Fresh buffers should be used for each calibration. Once the sachets are opened the buffer value can change over time.
• If the electrode is slow or sluggish, soak it in cleaning solution for 20 minutes. Rinse with water and hydrate the electrode
in storage solution for a minimum of 30 minutes before calibrating.
• If measurements are taken successively, rinse the probe thoroughly in distilled or deionized water to eliminate
cross-contamination between measurements.
Refilling the Electrode
• If the filling solution (electrolyte) is more than 1 cm (½") below the fill hole, add
solution for double junction electrodes.
• Unscrew the fill hole cover during measurements so the liquid reference junction maintains an outward flow of electrolyte.
Storage
To ensure a quick response, the glass tip and junction should be kept hydrated.
1. When not in use, add a few drops of storage solution to the storage cap. If storage solution is not available, pH 4.01
or pH 7.01 buffer can be used.
Note: Do not store the electrode in distilled or deionized water.
2. Place the probe tip into the cap and gently tighten the collar.
