16. Probe Replacement

To replace a probe:
1) Take off the probe cap; 2) Screw off the probe ring 3) Unplug the probe;
4) Plug in the new replacement probe (pay attention to the probe’s position); 
5) Screw on the probe ring tightly. Soak the probe in 3M KCL for 5-15 
minutes. Then perform calibration before testing. 

The replacement probes that are compatible with PC60-Z:

 

Ը

PC60-DE (Default pH/conductivity probe), PH60-DE (Regular pH probe for water solutions), 

 

Ը

PH60S-DE (spear pH probe for food testing), PH60F-DE (flat pH probe for surface testing)

 

Ը

EC60-DE (conductivity probe)

 

Ը

ORP60-DA (ORP probe).

*Probes don’t last forever. Every probe will eventually age and fail even if you don't use it that often. 
The typical service life of Apera probes is 12-24 months depending on the frequency of usage and 
how well you keep it clean and properly stored. We recommend replacing your probe every 1 to 2 
years to ensure the best performance.
