5 Maintenance and changing the electrode
5.1 General maintenance instructions
The SensoLyt
®
700 IQ (SW) pH/ORP sensor operates maintenance-
free.
Note
Please read the maintenance of the combination electrode in the
relevant operating manual of the electrode.
WARNING
Contact with the sample can lead to danger to the user!
Depending on the type of sample, suitable protective measures
must be taken (protective clothing, protective goggles, etc.).
CAUTION
If the glass of the pH electrode breaks, there is a danger of cuts
from the splinters of glass!
Note
We do not recommend unscrewing the sensor from the sensor
connection cable when changing the electrode. Otherwise, moisture
and/or dirt can get into the plug connection where they can cause
contact problems.
If you would like to disconnect the sensor from the sensor connection
cable, please note the following points:
 Before disconnecting the sensor from the SACIQ (SW) sensor
connection cable, remove any larger pieces of contamination from
the sensor, particularly in the area of the plug connection (brush it
off in a bucket of tapwater, wash it off with a hose or wipe it off with
a cloth).
 Unscrew the sensor from the SACIQ (SW) sensor connection cable.
 Always place a protective cap on the plug head of the sensor and on
the SACIQ (SW) sensor connection cable so that no moisture or dirt
can get into the contacting surfaces.
 In corrosive environments close the dry socket of the sensor
connection cable with the SACIQ-Plug protective screw cap in order
to protect the electrical contacts from corrosion. The protective cap
is available as an accessory (see section 6.2 G
ENERAL
ACCESSORIES ). It is included in the standard scope of delivery of the
SACIQ SW sensor connection cable.
