7.1 

Cleaning the Sensor 

 

Keep the sensor as clean as possible for optimum measurement accuracy  - this 
includes  both  the  saltbridge  and  the  measuring  electrode  glass.    Frequency  of 
cleaning depends upon the process solution. 

 

 

Carefully  wipe  the  measuring  end  of  the  sensor  with  a  clean  soft  cloth.    Then 
rinse with clean, warm water - use distilled or de-ionized water if possible.  This 
should remove most contaminate buildup. 

 

Prepare a mild solution of soap and warm water.  Use a non-abrasive detergent 
(such as dishwashing liquid).

 

 

 

NOTE: 

DO NOT use a soap containing any oils (such as lanolin).  Oils 
can coat the glass electrode and harm sensor performance.

 

 
 

Soak the sensor for several minutes in the soap solution.

 

 

 

Use  a  small,  extra-soft  bristle  brush  (such  as  a  mushroom  brush)  to  thoroughly 
clean  the  electrode  and  saltbridge  surfaces.    If  surface  deposits  are  not 
completely  removed  after  performing  this  step,  use  a  dilute  acid  to  dissolve  the 
deposits.    After  soaking,  rinse  the  sensor  thoroughly  with  clean,  warm  water.  
Placing the sensor in pH 7 buffer for about 10 minutes will help to neutralize any 
remaining acid. 

 

 

NOTE: 

DO NOT soak the sensor in dilute acid solution for more than 5 
minutes.    This  will  help  to  prevent  the  acid  from  being 
absorbed into the saltbridge. 

 
 

 

WARNING:  ACIDS  ARE  HAZARDOUS.    Always  wear  eye  and  skin 

protection  when  handling.    Follow  all  Material  Safety  Data 
Sheet  recommendations.    A  hazardous  chemical  reaction  can 
be  created  when  certain  acids  come  in  contact  with  process 
chemicals.    Make  this  determination  before  cleaning  with  any 
acid, regardless of concentration.
