Maintenance and troubleshooting
Maintenance:
The model 3010BR is virtually maintenance free other than for periodic calibration and occasional sensor
replacement.
Periodic Calibration:
The analyzer should be calibrated about once every month to obtain the best accuracy. The sensor typically
declines in sensitivity by less than 1% of full scale per month, so a monthly calibration is usually satisfactory.
Use in a particularly aggressive environment may degrade the sensor faster: in this case calibrate more
often.
Sensor Replacement:
This should be done based on the Span Factor feature, rather than as a response to a dead sensor. See the
Front Panel Settings and Adjustments section earlier in this manual.
Sensor replacement cautions:
CAUTION: The sensor contains an acid. If there is any sign of a liquid in the
cell compartment, do not allow it to come into contact with your skin. If it
does, immediately flush the affected area with water for a period of at
least 15 minutes. Refer to the Material Safety Data Sheet provided.
Dispose of leaking or used sensors in accordance with local regulations.
Sensors should generally not be thrown into ordinary trash. Refer to the
MSDS to learn about potential hazards and corrective actions in case of
any accident.
