8.3.1 ELECTRODE CARTRIDGE INSTALLATION
Unless ordered separately, electrode cartridges are generally
shipped installed in a sensor. Sensors ordered without an electrode are
shipped with a shipping plug to keep contamination from getting inside
the sensor during shipment or storage. The following procedure explains
how to install the electrode cartridge in the sensor assembly:
1. Remove the shipping plug by turning it counterclockwise.
2. Remove the electrode cartridge from the protective soaker
boot.
Be careful not to flex the electrode body while removing
the tape and the protective boot.
3. Rinse the electrode tip in tap water and wipe the electrode
body dry then lubricate the o-ring seals with the included
lubricant.
Save the protective soaker boot in the event the
electrode must be stored at a future time .
4. Carefully insert the electrode cartridge into the sensor
assembly by turning until
hand tight . The first o-ring, closest
to the front of the electrode, will be slightly visible if held
horizontally.
Note: If excess force is required during electrode installation,
check for proper thread engagement or for an obstruction.
8.3.2 ELECTRODE CARTRIDGE REPLACEMENT
Periodic replacement of the electrode cartridge is required for pH,
ORP and Specific Ion sensors. The following procedure explains how to
replace the electrode cartridge in the sensor assembly:
1. Remove the electrode cartridge from the front of the sensor
assembly by turning it counterclockwise.
2. For installation procedure follow steps 2, 3, and 4 in section
8.3.1 electrode cartridge installation.
