Replacing the Electrode
The TRACER is shipped with an electrode attached. If the electrode needs to be
replaced or changed, follow these steps.
1. Press the ON/OFF button to turn the meter off.
2. To remove an electrode, unscrew and completely remove the electrode
collar. Turn the collar counter-clockwise.
3. Gently rock the electrode from side to side, pulling it downwards, until it
disconnects from the meter.
4. To attach an electrode, align the slots and carefully plug the electrode into
the meter socket. CAUTION: Take care to align pins carefully. Bent or
broken pins will cause the meter to malfunction.
5. Firmly tighten the electrode collar to create a seal with the rubber gasket
between the electrode and the meter. Do not over tighten.
6. Cover the connector end of the removed electrode with the clear plastic cap.
