bottle that was originally included with the sensor. This can be filled
with buffer 4 solution. If you no longer have the storage bottle, simply
place the sensor in a buffer 4 solution.
When storing the dissolved oxygen sensor for more than 30 days,
remove the cap membrane and thoroughly rinse the dissolved
oxygen sensor with distilled or deionized water. Once the sensor
has been rinsed either blow it dry with compressed air or allow to air
dry completely. Next, install a new, clean, dry cap membrane onto
the sensor. This will keep the sensor dry and protect the anode and
cathode during storage. After storing for a long period of time, it is
necessary to "condition" the dissolved oxygen sensor by installing a
new membrane with electrolyte solution.
Long Term Storage Temp: -5 to 70°C (23 to 158°F) without pH
0 to 30°C (32 to 86°F) with pH or ORP*
*Operating temperature range for pH sensor is -5 to 60°C (23 to 140°F)
and operating temperature range for the ORP sensor is 0 to 60°C (32
to 140°F)
