ELECTRODE SENSOR MAINTENANCE
1. It is recommended to keep the sensitive membrane of the sensor wet. This is accomplished by periodically dipping
the sensor in distilled water or by using an electrode storage solution when the tester is not in use.
2. If the instrument will be kept in storage for a long time, place the sensor in an electrode storage solution.
3. Make sure to wash the sensor with distilled water before and after use.
4. Do not reuse prepared buffer solutions.
ELECTRODE REPLACEMENT
One of the advantages of using the Kensington KS-EC-10M-E is that the sensor can be replaced instead of buying a
new tester when the sensor fails during calibration. Removing and installing the sensor is easy and convenient and
also increases the utility of the instrument as additional sensors can be purchased for different applications. To replace
the sensor:
1. Twist the electrode collar counter-clockwise and pull the electrode away from the instrument
