VII. Maintenance
The only required maintenance for normal uninterrupted operation of your MegaTronXS controller is cleaning of the electrode(s).
After initial startup, it is a good idea to clean the electrode frequently until a schedule based on need has been developed. Since
about one week of the system being on line.
To determine the required cleaning frequency, record the reading on the controller before the electrode is removed for cleaning.
After cleaning, record the new reading. If a change is observed in the two readings, the electrode was dirty. The more

4. If the electrode has deposits such as scale attached to the electrode surface a more a g g r e s s i v e
cleaning approach will be needed. There are several ways to do this, the preferred method being the
one that is easiest for the user.
a. Use a mild acid solution to dissolve deposits.
b. Lay a piece of sandpaper (200 grit or finer) on a flat surface such as a bench t o p .
your skin will foul carbon tips.
5. Reinstall the electrode in the system. After the reading stabilizes, calibrate the unit to a reliable test
reading.
Many times, an electrode can appear to be clean, but the unit still cannot be calibrated. If this is the case, use one of the more
aggressive electrode cleaning procedures listed in step 4 above. Recheck the calibration after completion of this procedure. If
no change was observed in the reading, replace the electrode. If a change occurred but the unit still will not calibrate, repeat
procedure as many times as necessary.
pH and ORP Electrode Cleaning Procedure
1. Remove the pH electrode from the system.
2. Spray with water and/or detergent, using a soft brush to dislodge any fouling.
3. Visually inspect the electrode for signs of damage.
4. Calibrate the electrode while it is in a known solution.
Slow response or non-reproducible measurements are signs that the electrode has become coated or clogged. The pH glass
is susceptible to mounting by many substances. The speed of response, normally 95% of the reading in less than 10 seconds,
is dramatically degraded when the pH glass is coated.
To restore the speed of response for a pH electrode, clean the bulb with a high-quality detergent, methyl alcohol or other

VIII. Troubleshooting
The MegaTronXS controller is designed for many years of trouble-free operation. Should a problem occur, refer to the following
chart to help identify the problem. If replacement is required, follow the procedures listed in the Warranty and Factory Service

Warning: If the card revision has not updated
to the newer version, the sensor function will not
work correctly. A few power cycles may be needed
to get the system card updated. The mA input

Cloning User Settings for other XS Units
The XS has the ability to copy the User Settings
from one XS to another. This process is referred to
as cloning.
