Page 3: Description
BathyCorrometer ® 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. -

Page 7: Calibration
BathyCorrometer ® Calibration IMPORTANT BathyCorrometer® recalibration should only be undertaken by Buckleys trained and approved technicians with access to the appropriate electrical and pressure testing equipment. Recalibration by unqualified technicians will invalidate the BathyCorrometer’s warranty. Electronics Calibration Check The electronics in the BCM/BCM Pro’ can be checked with the aid of the CalChecker Pro’. - 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. As with all Silver-Silver Chloride chemistry, the exact voltage obtained will depend on the conditions, particularly water temperature and salinity.
- Page 9 BathyCorrometer ® The voltage difference between the K-SAT electrode and the internal silver/silver chloride electrode can be read directly off the digital display on the BCM/BCM Pro’. The test should be repeated with another K-SAT to confirm the accuracy of the internal Ag/AgCl/seawater half-cell electrode.

Page 10: Using Zinc & Magnesium Test Blocks
Instruction Manual Using Zinc & Magnesium test blocks Verification of the operation of the BCM Pro’ can be carried out using Zinc and/ or Magnesium test blocks. Potential measurements taken should be noted to check if any significant variation occurs. Differences in the order of 10mV or so between readings are quite possible and will mainly be caused by variations in water salinity at different locations and/or changes in water temperature. -
Page 11: Maintenance
BathyCorrometer ® Check the O-rings on the inside and outside of the white delrin probe cone and replace if necessary. Smear the O-rings with a little silicone grease, and replace the white delrin probe cone onto the tie rod. Replace the stainless steel probe tip. Maintenance Very little maintenance is required apart from keeping the unit clean and ensuring that the holes in the red nose cone are kept clear of any obstructions such as dirt or... -
Page 12: Electromagnetic Compatibility
Instruction Manual Electromagnetic compatibility European Union Directive The BathyCorrometer Pro’ and its charger do not generate RF energy and therefore ® will not interfere with other electronic equipment. The BCM is a sensitive voltmeter which when used under water will be screened from electromagnetic interference by the sea. -
