If the filling solution (electrolyte) is more than 2½ cm (1") below the
fill hole, add
HI 7082

HI 8082
3.5M KCl Electrolyte Solution for
double junction or
HI 7071
or
HI 8071
3.5M KCl+AgCl Electrolyte
Solution for single junction electrodes.
Unscrew the fill hole screw during measurements.

If the electrode does not respond to pH changes, the battery is dead
and the electrode should be replaced.

Rinse the electrode tip with distilled water. Immerse the tip (bottom
4 cm /1½”) into the sample and stir gently for a few seconds.
For a faster response and to avoid cross-contamination of the samples,
rinse the electrode tip with a few drops of the solution to be tested,
before taking measurements.

To minimize clogging and assure a quick response time, the glass bulb
and the junction should be kept moist and not allowed to dry out.
Replace the solution in the protective cap with a few drops of
HI 70300
or
HI 80300
Storage Solution or, in its absence, Fill Solution (
HI
7071
or
HI 8071
for single junction and
HI 7082
or
HI 8082
for
double junction electrodes). Follow the Preparation Procedure on page
16 before taking measurements.
Note:
NEVER STORE THE ELECTRODE IN DISTILLED OR DEIONIZED
WATER.

Inspect the electrode and the cable. The cable must be intact and
well connected. No cracks should be seen on the electrode stem or
bulb. Connectors must be perfectly clean and dry. If any scratches or
cracks are present, replace the electrode. Rinse off any salt deposits
with water.

electrodes). Allow the electrode to stand upright for 1 hour.

Remove the protective cap of the pH electrode.
DO NOT BE ALARMED IF SALT DEPOSITS ARE PRESENT. This is normal
with electrodes. They will disappear when rinsed with water.
During transport, tiny bubbles of air may form inside the glass bulb
affecting proper functioning of the electrode. These bubbles can be
removed by “shaking down” the electrode as you would do with a
glass thermometer.
If the bulb and/or junction is dry, soak the electrode in
HI 70300
or
HI 80300
Storage Solution for at least one hour.
