1. Unscrew the measurement chamber (No. 6).
2. Remove the protector covering the pH bulb and rinse with deionized water or pH buffer and store

in a safe place for future use.

3. Gently shake the sensor downward in the same manner as a clinical thermometer to remove any

trapped air bubbles.

4. Record the installation date on the label (No. 10).
5. Screw the measurement chamber back in place.
6. Assemble the 1/8" NPT input/output connections and connect the sample inlet to position No. 8

and the outlet to position No. 9.

7. Circulate the sample and check visually through the chamber for the absence of bubbles which

could affect the measurement.

8. Adjust the flow rate to approximately 150 mL/minute.
9. To avoid back pressure it is advisable to discharge the sample at atmospheric pressure into a

drain.

10. The device should be grounded (No. 4) to avoid any external electrical noise interference.
11. To avoid damage to the sensor, make sure the flow chamber is never empty. Make sure the glass

bulb is always immersed in water or buffer solution.
