Suggestions for an accurate reading of the Conductivity
Precise readings depend greatly on proper maintenance of the connected probe.
Beyond its intrinsic qualities, how the sensor is cared for is particularly important. This
will, in fact, provide reliable readings.
Below is a list of some simple suggestions for optimum conductivity readings in aquari-
ums:
- Handle the probe with care.
- If the probe is stored out of the water, it must be thoroughly dried to prevent oxidation
of the electrodes.
- Periodically clean the probe with tap water.
- Periodically calibrate the instrument (approximately every month as indicated to previ
-
ous pages) to correct any reading imperfections due to probe wear.
- Never use calibration solutions that have been left open or have expired.
- Before calibration, rinse the probe with tap water and dry it carefully.
- Replace the probe after a period of approximately 15-18 months.
- Do not install the interface in direct contact with wet or damp parts.
- Position the probe in the tank or sump away from strong currents to prevent excessive
oxygenation inside the latter.
- Do not immerse the probe completely in water. The cable’s seam must always be ap
-
proximately 2 cm above the water.
IMPORTANT
For reliable conductivity readings, use only AQUATRONICA electrodes.
The use of other brands of electrodes could cause incorrect readings of the
instrument.
NOTE: in case of malfunctions or any doubts about the use of this interface, please
