MAINTENANCE
Storage
1. Rinse the electrode in distilled or deionized water.
2. Store the electrode dry with the cap on.
3. Always rinse the electrode in deionized water between measurements to
avoid cross contamination. Double rinsing is recommended when high
accuracy is required.
Battery Replacement
1. Twist off the battery compartment cap.
2. Hold the battery housing in place with one fi nger. Remove the battery
carrier by pulling on the small tabs.
3. Replace the four CR2032 batteries. Observe polarity.
4. Replace the battery compartment cap.
Electrode Care
1. Always rinse the electrode in distilled or deionized water between
measurements to avoid cross-contamination of the samples. Double
rinsing is recommended when high accuracy is required.
2. Do not touch the electrodes. Touching the surface of the platinized
electrodes may damage and reduce the life of the electrodes.
Replacing the electrode
1. Unscrew and remove the electrode collar. Turn collar counter-clockwise.
2. Gently rock the electrode side to side, while pulling it away from the
meter, until it disconnects from the electrode socket.
3. To attach an electrode, align the slots and carefully plug the electrode into
the meter socket. CAUTION: Take care to align pins carefully. Bent or
broken pins will cause the meter to malfunction.
4. Firmly tighten the electrode collar to create a seal with the rubber gasket
between the electrode and the meter.
