Troubleshooting
Follow a systematic procedure to isolate the problem. The
measuring system can be divided into four components for ease
in troubleshooting: meter, electrode, sample/application
and technique.
Meter
The meter is the easiest component to eliminate as a possible
cause of error. Thermo Scientifi c Orion meters include
an instrument checkout procedure and shorting cap for
convenience in troubleshooting. Consult the meter user guide
for directions.
Electrode
1. Rinse the electrode thoroughly with distilled water.
2. Verify the electrode performance by performing the
procedure in the
Checking Electrode Operation (Slope)
section.
3. If the electrode fails this procedure, review the
Measuring
Hints
section. Clean the electrode thoroughly as directed
in the
Electrode Maintenance
section. Drain and refi ll the
electrode with fresh fi lling solution.
4. Repeat the procedure in the
Checking Electrode Operation
(Slope)
section.
5. It the electrode fails this procedure again and the half-
cell fl uoride electrode is being used, determine whether
the fl uoride or reference electrode is at fault. To do this,
substitute a known working electrode for the electrode
in question and repeat the procedure in the
Checking
Electrode Operation (Slope)
section.
6. If the electrode passes the procedure, but measurement
problems persist, the sample may contain interferences or
complexing agents, or the technique may be in error.
7.
Before replacing a faulty electrode, review this user guide
and be sure to thoroughly clean the electrode; correctly
prepare the electrode; use the proper fi lling solutions,
TISAB, and standards; correctly measure the samples and
review the
Troubleshooting Checklist
section.
