3.2 Measurement Procedures
Immersing the sensor
Immerse the sensor so that the protective cover part goes under the sample solution
level. The sensor does not need to be immersed deeply.
When using a KCl refillable type sensor, the filling solution level must be above the
level of solution being measured. This is to prevent the KCl filling solution from being
mixed with the sample solution.

Level of sample solution
KCl refillable type sensor must be immersed so filling
solution level is above the level of sample solution.

Bubbles trapped in the glass electrode tip may interfere with accurate measurement.
Before taking measurements, check the electrode tip for bubbles. If present, gently
shake the sensor, as shown in Figure 3.3, to dislodge bubbles from the tip.
