Cleaning And Storing The Rdo Sensor - In-situ Aqua TROLL 600 Operator's Manual

Storage
Dampen the sponge
inside the pH sensor
storage cap with
Storage Solution or pH 4
calibration standard.
Do not store the pH sensor in DI water because it will deplete the reference solution and
drastically reduce the life of the sensor.

Cleaning and Storing the RDO Sensor

Routine Maintenance
1. Leave the sensor cap on.
2. Rinse the sensor with clean water.
3. Gently wipe with a soft cloth or brush if biofouling is present.
4. If extensive fouling or mineral buildup is present, soak the sensor in vinegar for 15 minutes, then
soak in deionized water for 15 minutes.
Do not use organic solvents—they will damage the sensor cap. Do not remove the sensor cap
when rinsing or brushing.
5. After cleaning the sensor, perform a 2-point calibration.
Cleaning the Optical Window
Clean the optical window only when changing the sensor cap.
1. Remove the cap.
2. Gently wipe the sensing window with the supplied lens cloth.
Do not wet the lens with any liquid.
Storage
Prior to installation, store the sensor body and cap in the factory supplied containers.
Once installed on the sonde, the RDO sensor can be stored wet or dry depending on the sensor
configuration of the sonde.
Never store the RDO sensor without the sensor cap once it has been installed on the sonde.

electrical tape to seal the
storage cap.
