Symptom
Possible Solution
Instrument readings
are inaccurate.
1. Verify correct sensor/membrane type
selection in the System Setup menu.
2. Verify calibration, barometer reading, and
salinity settings are correct and recalibrate.
3. Verify accurate temperature readings.
4. Sample temperature is over 45 ºC, the
temperature compensation range.
5. Probe may not have been in 100%
water saturated air during calibration
procedure. Moisten sponge in
calibration sleeve and recalibrate.
6. Replace membrane and
electrolyte, recalibrate.
7. Clean sensor electrodes.
8. Return system for service.
