6.2 Measurement
Troubleshooting
Reading is unstable, slow to stabilize
•
Clean electrode to remove build-up or
contaminants, 0.1M HCl is recommended and
adding pepsin is helpful if protein build-up occurs
•
If electrode was stored dry, soak electrode in
storage solution for at least 30 minutes
•
If electrode is refillable, add electrode fill solution and
ensure the fill hole is uncovered during use
•
Check electrode for damage, cracks or breaks
•
Check cables for damage or breaks
•
Remove any interfering devices from area
•
Replace old electrode with new electrode
•
If sample temperature is changing, allow
temperature to stabilize
Reading freezes on display
•
o
If meter Read Type is set to Continuous, check
that the Hold function is not enabled – the Hold
icon will be shown on the display when the
Hold function is enabled – press the
“Read/Hold” key to disable
o
If meter Read Type is set to Auto-Read, press
the “Read” key to start a new measurement
