Note:
After replacing the electrode, evaluate the effect of the change on system performance.
This procedure applies to both probes.
1. Remove the electrode adjustment nut and then remove the electrode.
2. Holding the probe with the tip pointing down, so that the spring remains inside the probe,
install a sample fitting in the PEEK union, tightening until it is finger-tight.
