Electrode Care and Maintenance 

 

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. 

 

 

 

 

Troubleshooting

CAUSE 

CORRECTIVE ACTION 

 

Electrode dried out 

Soak the conductivity electrode in tap water for 10 minutes. 

Measured value is out of range 

Check the electrode whether dirty or broken. 

 

Electrode does not suit the current sample 

Replace the conductivity electrode. 

Electrode is broken 

Replace the conductivity electrode. 

Keypad is not working properly 

Replace the batteries.
