4.2 Troubleshooting

HORIBA

●

Measurements are not repeatable

Cause

How to solve problem

Some effects of
the sample
solution

The pH or other properties of the
sample solution may have changed
over time, making repeatability
poor.

The responsive
membrane is
dry or dirty.

Wash the responsive membrane.

There is not
enough
reference
solution or it is
dirty.

Replace the reference solution with
new solution.

The responsive
membrane is
cracked or worn
out.

Replace the electrode.
