6.0 Probe Care and Maintenance
Keep the probe clean. Rinse the probe twice, and
gently swirl it while you take readings. For best results,
soak a dry probe for at least 5-10 minutes before
calibration. Rinse the probe with clean water before
storing. Never scratch the bands with an abrasive or
hard substance. Do not strike against hard surfaces
or submerge the cable for extended periods.
Do not immerse the probe in oily solutions, aggressive
solvents, or strong acids. Clean with a mild detergent
or isopropyl alcohol then rinse thoroughly. Dry storage
is acceptable. Recalibrate after cleaning.
The included conductivity probe features a removable
probe guard for easy cleaning. To remove - grip yellow
probe guard and twist clockwise to release locking
notch, then slide off.
NOTE:
Remember to re-attach the probe guard -
failure to do so will result in erroneous readings!
