Troubleshooting 

Reading Error (Reading 

showing 0.00 mg/l in red 

numbers along with “Error” 

displayed on Sensor Overview) 

1.

 

Check wiring is connected to the correct terminals as detailed on 

page 7.  Ensure the insulation on the wiring is stripped back far 

enough to not interfere with the connection.   

2.

 

Ensure the cable is screwed all the way onto the back of the 

probe. 

3.

 

Make sure the sensor input card in Slot #1 is fully seated. 

4.

 

If error continues, contact Factory. 

Reading is non-responsive, 

unstable, or not maintaining 

accuracy. 

1.

 

Ensure sample flow is >250 ml/min.      

2.

 

When a new membrane cap is installed, it may take up to 30 

minutes before the chlorine probe starts to register a reading 

(>0 mg/l), and a full 2 hours before the reading is mostly 

stabilized.   It is important the sample has >0.1 mg/l residual 

chlorine and ideally exceeding 10% of the probes full scale range 

(e.g., >0.2 mg/l for a 2 mg/l range probe).       

3.

 

Verify membrane cap is fully tightened.   Dry off the membrane 

cap and then ensure the cap is screwed on all the way tight.   

4.

 

Check for air bubbles collecting on the membrane tip (where the 

white dot is located).  See page 10 of this document for 

instructions on how to position probe and adjust flow to deal 

with air bubbles. 

5.

 

Ensure the cable is screwed all the way onto the back of the 

probe. 

6.

 

Check wiring is connected to the correct terminals as detailed on 

page 7.  Ensure the insulation on the wiring is stripped back far 

enough to not interfere with the connection.   

7.

 

If reading appears unstable or not capable of maintaining 

accuracy:  Take multiple measurements with DPD test kit to 

verify that actual chlorine levels are consistent and stable.  

8.

 

If above steps do not help, remake the probe with fresh 

electrolyte and retest. 

9.

 

If above step does not help, remake the probe with a new 

membrane cap and retest. 

10.

 

Probe failure.   Contact factory for further guidance. 

Cannot achieve 1000 ml/min 

flow without overflowing the 

probe chamber.  

1.

 

Drain line not properly installed and there is too much 

backpressure which is preventing a free-flowing drain.   The 

drain line needs ideally flow straight down to an atmospheric 

drain using minimum ½ inch ID tubing.  Keep horizontal runs to a 

minimum and there must not be any uphill runs or loops in the 

drain line.    Do not allow the end of the drain tubing to be 

submerged under water as this will create backpressure.
