(2) Removing the Indicator Electrode
Remove the electrode mechanism block cover from the detector. Hold the gears so that
the drive shaft does not turn and remove the indicator electrode. The electrode is screwed
into the drive shaft; turn the electrode counterclockwise. This time, do not touch the rotating
contact
. (Figure 8.5) The deformed rotating contact disables electrode function.

(3) Polishing the Electrode Surface of the Indicator Electrode
Spread the provided abrasive (alumina) onto dampened gauze and thoroughly clean the
electrode surface using such gauze so that any contamination such as oil and grease
is completely removed. Then wash off any abrasives adhering to the electrode in clean
running water.
After polishing and cleaning, confirm that contamination has been completely removed.
The clean electrode surface must be uniformly wetted.
CAUTION
Polish the electrode surface (gold electrode) by following the instructions below when it has
become corrugated or deformed from the original shape (about 3 mm in diameter).
Polish the electrode surface with sandpaper (about #600) until the surface becomes finally
rounded. Then, polish it with sandpaper (about #2000), and lastly with polishing powder
(alumina). Make sure the electrode surface is clean and then install the indicator electrode.
Reduce the amount of ceramic beads if the electrode has deformed greatly. The ceramic beads
should be filled up to 5 mm under the bottommost notch of the beads case when the indicator
electrode is inserted.
(4) Installing the Indicator Electrode
Hold the gears so that the drive shaft does not turn, and sufficiently screw the electrode into
the shaft. During installation, be careful not to touch the electrode surface.
Note: Polish the electrode surface again if you have touched it.
