9. ELECTRODE PREPARATION
Remove the electrode protective cap.
Do not be alarmed if any salt deposits are present. This is normal with electrodes and they will
disappear when rinsed with distilled/deionized water.
During transport tiny bubbles of air may have formed inside the glass bulb. The electrode cannot
function properly under these conditions. These bubbles can be removed by “shaking down” the
electrode as you would do with a glass thermometer.
If the bulb is dry, soak the electrode in
HI70300
Storage solution for at least one hour.
