In a fully functional sensor, the optimal slope is -59 mV for each pH unit and the optimal zero
point is 0 mV at pH 7. The slope should at least have a value between -50...-65 mV per pH unit.
Re-calibrate the sensor if the slope does not approximate those limits. The pH sensor ages, the
slope gets flatter and the zero error increases.

CAUTION!
•
Never touch or scratch the pH sensitive glass tip of the sensor.
• Make sure that the sensor tip is clean and dust-free. If necessary, clean the tip as described
on page 24.
CAUTION!
Moisture inside the sensor connector must be avoided! Moisture may cause a shortcut and
deliver erratic readings!
If moisture has entered the connector dry it with air (e.g. hair blower).
