• No Slope:
- Check the electrode for cracks in glass stem or bulb
(replace the electrode if cracks are found).
- Make sure cable and connections are not damaged nor
lying in a pool of water or solution.
• Slow Response/Excessive Drift: soak the tip in the
HI 7061
solution for 30 minutes, rinse thoroughly in distilled water
and then follow the Cleaning Procedure above.
• For ORP Electrodes: polish the metal tip with a lightly abra-
sive paper (paying attention not to scratch the surface)
and wash thoroughly with water.
Note
With industrial applications, it is always recommended to
keep at least one spare electrode handy. When anomalies
are not resolved with a simple maintenance, change the
electrode (and recalibrate the controller) to see if the prob-
lem is alleviated.
For refillable electrodes**: Refill the electrode with fresh electrolyte (
HI 7071
for single
junction or
HI 7082
for double junction electrodes). Allow
the electrode to stand upright for 1 hour. Follow the Stor-
age Procedure above.
CLEANING PROCEDURE
General
Soak in Hanna
HI 7061
general cleaning
solution for approximately 30 minutes.
Removal of films, dirt or deposits on the membrane/junction:
Protein
Soak in Hanna
HI 7073
protein cleaning so-
lution for 15 minutes.
Inorganic
Soak in Hanna
HI 7074
inorganic cleaning
solution for 15 minutes.
Oil/grease
Rinse with Hanna
HI 7077
Oil & Fat cleaning
solution.
IMPORTANT
After performing any of the cleaning procedures rinse the
electrode thoroughly with distilled water, drain and refill
the reference chamber with fresh electrolyte, (not neces-
sary for gel-filled electrodes) and soak the electrode in
HI70300
storage solution for at least one hour before rein-
stalling it.
TROUBLESHOOTING
Evaluate your electrode performance based on the following.
• Noise (Readings fluctuate up and down) could be due to:
- Clogged/Dirty Junction: refer to the Cleaning Procedure
above.
- Loss of shielding due to low electrolyte level (in refillable
electrodes only): refill with
HI 7071
for single junction
or
HI 7082
for double junction electrodes.
• Dry Membrane/Junction: soak in
HI 70300
storage solu-
tion for at least 1 hour. Check to make sure the installation
is such as to create a well for the electrode bulb to con-
stantly remain moist.
• Drifting: soak the electrode tip in warm Hanna
HI 7082
solution for one hour and rinse tip with distilled water (refill
with fresh
HI7071
for single junction electrodes and
HI7082
for double junction electrodes if necessary).
• Low Slope: refer to the cleaning procedure above.
