to air dry completely. Next, use a new clean, dry cap membrane to screw over the
sensor. This will keep the sensor dry and protect the anode and cathode during
storage. Ensure the conductivity sensor is clean and dry.
After storing for a long period of time, it is necessary to “condition” the dissolved
oxygen sensor by installing a new membrane with electrolyte solution.
Long Term Storage Temperature: -5 to 70°C (23 to 158°F)
