Sensor Storage
Short Term: Immerse the sensor tip in tap water. Wet storage can be used up to two weeks. If the
sensor is not connected to the analyzer, the sensor needs to be shorted. Place the shorting strap across
the appropriate pins of the sensor connector (refer to illustration 8).
CAUTION: If a wet sensor dries out in storage, it may become damaged beyond repair.
Long Term: Disassemble the chlorine sensor tip and pour out the fill solution. Rinse the coils, gold
tip, and membrane retainer with deionized water and blot dry with a paper towel. Re-assemble the
chlorine sensor dry, and store dry with the tip covered.
Dry storage can be used for a year or more.
NOTE: The sensor needs to be shorted only when it is charged (filled with electrolyte) and not
connected to a powered analyzer.
