Maintenance
Clean the probe
Clean the probe when:
• Drifting/inaccurate readings occur as a result of contamination on the sensing
element or improper storage conditions.
• Slow response time occurs as a result of contamination on the sensing element.
• The slope is out of range as a result of contamination on the sensing element.
For general contaminants, complete the following steps.
1. Rinse the probe with deionized water. Blot dry with a lint-free cloth.
2. If harsh contaminants are attached to the probe, polish the probe tip with a soft cloth
or cotton swab to remove the contaminants.
3. Soak for 30 minutes in 100 mg/L Chloride standard solution.
Storage
The probe can be stored dry. To protect the sensing element, rinse with DI water and blot
dry with a lint-free cloth. Install the sensor protection cap.
Note: The probe must be conditioned after long-term storage. Refer to Preparation for use
on page 2.

Large number of methods stored on
probe. Continue to let probe connect. Do not disconnect
probe.
Damaged probe Make sure connectivity with another probe or meter
to confirm isolated issue with probe. Contact a
Technical Support Representative.
mV reading is the same for all
solutions Electrical issue Contact a Technical Support Representative.
Slow response time
Dirty sensing element Clean the probe (refer to Clean the probe
on page 10).
Low sample temperature or
temperature difference between
samples Check the sample temperature. The lower the
temperature or the greater the difference of
temperatures between samples, traditionally the
longer the response time.
Bubbles trapped under probe tip Gently shake the probe until bubbles are removed.
