Setting Up the Electrodes
When you are ready to take your
measurement(s), you must first remove
the protective covers (caps) that are in
place for storage. The pH electrode has
the soaker bottle in place to protect the
glass bulb inside the plastic sleeve, to
protect from contamination and to
prevent the electrode from drying out.
The red cover (cap) covers the
conductivity electrode, preventing fluid
from entering the electrode when only
pH is being measured and reduces the
need for cleaning.
Setting Up the pH Electrode (Fig 3)
To remove the soaker bottle,
1. Extend the electrode pair to the 90°
position.
2. Hold part of the electrode shafts and
the white cap with one hand.
3. With the thumb and forefinger of the
other hand loosen the bottle a couple of
turns and slide the bottle and cap off
carefully.
To put the bottle back on the electrode
shaft, reverse the process stated above.

Setting Up the Conductivity Electrode
To remove the cap, merely pull it off of
the electrode shaft.
