18.2 Conductivity and TDS Troubleshooting

Symptom

Possible Causes

Remedy

Unit fails to
calibrate, even with
new electrode.

Calibration settings outside of
allowable limits due to
previous failed calibration.

Initialise the unit. See section
16.

Unit attempts Span
calibration instead
of Zero calibration.

Electrode has Zero error.

Thoroughly rinse electrode in
distilled water and allow to
completely dry in air before
attempting zero calibration.

If instrument does not calibrate
at Zero with electrode
disconnected, then the
instrument is faulty.

Standard calibration
fails, and k factor is
greater than 0.133,
1.33 or 13.3,
(depending on k
factor of sensor).

1.

 

Electrode is not immersed
deeply enough.

2.

 

Electrode may have a build-
up of dirt or oily material
on electrode wires.

3.

 

Platinum-black coating has
worn off.

4.

 

Standard solution is
inaccurate.

5.

 

Electrode is faulty.

6.

 

Faulty instrument.

7.

 

k-factor incorrectly set if
using k=0.1 or k=10 sensor.

Immerse electrode at least to
the vent hole in the white
plastic cover.

Clean electrode, as per the
instructions detailed in section
20.1.

Electrode requires
replatinisation.
Return to the factory, or see
details in section 20.2.

Replace standard solution.

Return electrode to factory for
repair or replacement.

Return to factory for repair.

Set the correct k-factor, as per
section 14.
