DO Electrolyte solution
The electrolyte solution in your probe’s cap
will periodically evaporate and need to be
replaced. 35640-71 replacement electrolyte
solution comes premixed and ready to use.
However, the electrolyte mixture package
35640-70 has a longer shelf life in its
unmixed form.
If you purchase the electrolyte mixture
package to make your own replacement
electrolyte solution, use the following steps
to prepare the solution:
1. Fill a beaker to the 400 ml mark with
deionized water.
2. Pour the entire contents of the
58.5 grams electrolyte package into
the beaker.
3. Stir the solution until all of the chemical
is dissolved—until the solution is clear.
4. Pour the solution into a clean
container with a cap and keep sealed
between use.
