Prepare the
reference
electrode
After longer storage of the reference electrode, the diaphragm may
be clogged with salt deposits of KCl. Therefore it is recommended to
open and clean the diaphragm before installing the reference elec
-
trode.
To clean the reference electrode proceed as follows:
1
Remove the protective cap [G] from the ground joint diaphragm
with a careful turning and pulling movement.
2
Hold the reference electrode with the ground joint diaphragm
pointing downwards.
3
Slightly lift the ring-shaped sleeve of the ground-joint diaphragm
and allow a little electrolyte to flow out into a tissue.
4
Rinse the electrode tip well with deionized water.
5
Push the ring-shaped sleeve carefully over the ground-joint dia
-
phragm.
6
While holding the electrode tip pointing downwards pull the KCI
supply tube several times so that the air bubbles can escape up
-
wards.
