Symptom
Possible Cause
Remedy
Measurement readings are not as
expected.
Sensor was not properly
submerged in solution during
measurement.
Repeat measurement and ensure sensor is
submerged in solution prior to LED flashing quickly.
Sensor needs conditioning.
Condition sensor (see MAINTENANCE section).
Membrane is damaged.
Replace the sensor (see MAINTENANCE section).
Sensor is damaged.
If cleaning sensor does not correct error, replace
sensor (see MAINTENANCE section).
Measurement screen displays “Out
of Range”.
Possible sensor damage.
1. Perform a measurement on a known, good
sample of prepared reference solution.
2. If the result is still the “Out of Range” message,
replace the sensor (see MAINTENANCE section).
Error message during calibration.
Sensor was not properly
submerged in solution during
calibration.
Repeat calibration and ensure sensor is submerged
in solution prior to LED flashing quickly.
Improper reference solution.
Verify you are using the proper reference solution.
Temperature out of range.
Verify temperature is within range.
Sensor needs conditioning.
Condition the sensor (see MAINTENANCE section).
Sensor is damaged.
If conditioning the sensor does not correct error,
replace sensor (see MAINTENANCE section).
