Electrode Care and Maintenance 

 

Conductivity electrode 

 

DO NOT touch the measurement area of electrode and always make sure that is clean.   

 

If there is a build-up of solids inside the measurement area, these should be removed very carefully with a cotton bud soaked in solvent, taking care 
not to touch the metal parts of the inner cell. After the solids are removed, the electrode must be recalibrated. 

 

 

 

 

Dissolved oxygen probe 

 

Always keep the membrane of the dissolved oxygen probe is wet or moist.   

 

If you do not use the probe for long periods,

 

please screw off membrane cap and rinse the cathode,

 

anode and membrane with deionized water, then 

soak up residual water on them with filter pape. Install the probe again. 

 

   

 

 

Troubleshooting 

 

LCD DISPLAY 

CAUSE 

CORRECTIVE ACTION 

 

Electrode dried out 

Soak the conductivity electrode in tap water for a few minutes. 

Measured value is out of range 

Check the electrode whether clogged, dirty or broken. 

 

Incorrect calibration solutions 

Using the fresh calibration solutions for calibration. 

Setting value does not match calibration solution 

Reset the calibration value. 

DO electrolyte solution is depleted 

Refilling electrolyte solution. 

Zero oxygen solution is contaminated 

Replace the calibration solution. 

Keypad is not working properly 

Replace the batteries.
