Section 1 Product overview The Intellical ISENH318 series probes are digital, combination electrodes that measure the ammonia concentration in wastewater, drinking water and general water samples. The probes have a built-in temperature sensor, a refillable membrane module and a double-junction reference. The Ammonia Ionic Strength Adjuster (ISA) increases the solution pH to >11, where ammonium and ammonia are measured as NH .
Non-refillable gel reference element Storage solution Short-term and mid-term storage: 1000 mg/L NH —N standard solution Long-term storage: Hach pH Electrode Storage Solution Cable connection M12 digital output and connector Dimensions Diameter: 12 mm (0.47 in.) Length: 175 mm (6.9 in.) total; 103 mm (4.1 in.) below head Cable length: ISENH318101: 1 m (3.3 ft);...
3.3 Precautionary labels Read all labels and tags attached to the instrument. Personal injury or damage to the instrument could occur if not observed. A symbol on the instrument is referenced in the manual with a precautionary statement. Electrical equipment marked with this symbol may not be disposed of in European domestic or public disposal systems.

Follow the applicable storage procedure: • Short-term and mid-term (maximum one week) storage—Put the ammonia probe with the installed membrane module in a 1000 mg/L NH —N standard solution without Ionic Strength Adjustor (ISA). Do not let the membrane dry out. A soaker bottle is not necessary. Put a cover on the storage beaker and probe body to prevent solution evaporation.
