Maintenance
Clean the probe
Clean the probe when:
•
Drifting/inaccurate readings occur as a result of contamination on the glass sensor or
the probe being left dry for extended periods of time.
•
Slow stabilization time occurs as a result of contamination on the glass sensor.
•
A calibration error occurs as a result of contamination on the glass sensor.
Before a rugged probe can be cleaned, the shroud must be removed (refer to
on page 10). Install the shroud after the probe is clean (refer to
on page 10).
For general contaminants:
1. Rinse the probe with deionized water and blot dry with a lint-free cloth.
2. Soak the glass bulb for 12 to 16 hours in Hach Electrode Cleaning Solution.
3. Rinse or soak the probe for 1 minute in deionized water.
4. Soak the probe in pH 4 buffer for up to 20 minutes, then rinse with deionized water.
5. Blot dry with a lint-free cloth.
