Unscrew and remove the enzyme/ISE probes and the temperature probe from each sample module. Place the ISEs and
reference electrodes in 2970 Buffer solution to prevent them from drying out.
Figure 9.2
Remove the sample modules. Remove and discard the small magnetic stir bar inside each module. Clean the modules
with the appropriate disinfecting agent.
9.4.2 Waste Module Cleaning
Unscrew the three hex screws from the top of waste module 1. Disconnect the calibrator and waste tubing and remove
the waste modules from the base plate.
Figure 9.3
Clean the waste modules with the appropriate disinfecting agent.
Remove the o-rings from the base plate. Clean up any salt deposits or fluid on the base plate. Be sure that the base plate
and all other parts are dry.
9.4.3 Enzyme Probe Cleaning
With normal use, enzyme sensors may become fouled and cease to operate normally. A fouled sensor’s output current
will decrease and calibration may become unstable. Since the severity of fouling will vary, listed below are methods of
cleaning which should be matched to the cleaning needs. Follow the steps carefully and in order.
9.4.3.1 Sensor Maintenance
It is necessary to maintenance the enzyme sensors when the PM kit is installed and periodically as needed.
1. Remove the enzyme Membrane and hold the probe with the electrodes facing up.
