Storing the sensor in the provided plastic tube
• Screw the sealing cap off the plastic tube. Keep it in the original packaging.
• If there is not enough KCl solution in the plastic tube, fill it up with 3 molar KCl solution.
• Insert the sensor tip through the hole in the storage cap (see drawing on page 12).
• Carefully push the O-ring delivered with the storage cap on the sensor so that the cap sits over
the O-ring.
• Insert the sensor tip into the plastic tube until it is fully covered with KCl solution.
• Tighten the cap.
• Store the sensor in its original packaging.
3.3 Installation procedure
Because a new ORP sensor needs to be calibrated before it is installed into its final measuring
location, it is important to follow the installation order:
1. Unpack the sensor.
2. Connect the sensor to the signal converter.
3. Calibrate the sensor.
4. Install the sensor into its final measuring location.
The required steps are explained in the following sections.
