GF 263X Series Chlorine Electrodes 

Troubleshooting

Problem

Possible Causes

Remedies

Sensor cannot be calibrated.

Output is higher than DPD test

(out of range).

Sensor conditioning time too short

Condition for 4 hours minimum prior to initial 

calibration

Interference from contaminants

See Specifications on page 3

Membrane cap damaged

Replace cap and recondition

DPD chemicals bad

Use fresh reagents

pH outside of working range

See Specifications on page 3

Sensor cannot be calibrated.

Output is lower than DPD test.

Sensor conditioning time too short

Condition for 4 hours minimum prior to initial 

calibration

Chlorine content too low

DPD value must be greater than 0.5 ppm to 

calibrate

Low flow rate

Check to make sure flow rate is sufficient

Air bubbles on electrode membrane

Inspect visually. Tap to remove bubbles. Mount 

at an angle.

Low or no electrolyte in electrode

Fill electrode with electrolyte

Organic chlorination agents present in water

See technical data

Surfactants in water

Remove surfactants and replace cap

Membrane cap coated

Clean or replace membrane cap

Membrane cap loose

Tighten or replace membrane cap

pH outside working range.

See Specifications on page 3

Sensor output very low

Sensor conditioning time too short

Condition for 4 hours minimum prior to initial 

calibration

Chlorine content too low

Add chlorine to validate

Only bound chlorine present. No free chlorine

Check for chloramine with appropriate DPD test

Electrode not making good contact with electronics Inspect and reconnect

Unstable output from sensor

Air bubbles on electrode membrane

Inspect visually. Tap to remove bubbles. Mount 

at an angle.

Membrane damaged

Replace membrane. Condition sensor for at 

least 2 hours and recalibrate.

Electrode not making good contact with electronics Inspect and reconnect

Non-sensor problem

Check 3-2650 Electronics connection to 

electrode (see 3-2650 manual for instructions). 

Make sure connections are dry. Check 

instrument hookup.

Transmitter error messages related to calibration are detailed in the 9950-X Chlorine Controller operation manual.
