(3) Completely drain the electrolyte within the sensor unit. Tilt the sensor tip downward and then
use the syringe to force air into the inlet for refilling the electrolyte. Position the beaker so it
will catch any of the electrolyte that drains through the gaps around the silver electrode.

(4) Removing dirt, deposits, or stains from the surface of the silver electrode.
Lay the sensor horizontally. Apply alumina as an abrasive to moistened gauze and polish
the surface of the silver electrode to remove any stains from the surface.
Do not polish excessively. A mirror-finished surface of the electrode or any damage to the
epoxy materials around the electrode may affect the performance of the sensor.
After polishing, wipe the alumina off the electrode completely.
(5) Make sure the sealed surfaces are free from dust. Install a new O-ring.
(6) Inject 8 ml of electrolyte into the sensor body with the syringe (see Figure 4.2).
Note: Always use an electrolyte prepared by Yokogawa for exclusive use with the DO30G.
First, fill the sensor with the electrolyte (approx. 9 ml) and then remove approximately 1 ml
so that a layer of air is present inside the sensor body.
(7) Install the permeable-membrane assembly.
It is strictly not possible to allow a layer of air to form between the membrane and the sil-
ver electrode. To prevent such a layer from forming, first apply a drop of electrolyte to the
surface of the silver electrode. Lightly press the permeable-membrane assembly so that the
O-ring touches the groove on the inside. Tighten the locknut fully without letting the assem-
bly turn.

All these steps complete the inspection procedure for the permeable-membrane assembly. By
way of precaution, make sure the membrane is free from wrinkling. Note that a stable detection
signal is not possible right after refilling with the electrolyte. Make a zero or span adjustment ap -
proximately a half a day or longer after refilling. It may indicate a minus value for about 10 min -
utes zero adjustment.
