9.2. Regular maintenance operations
• Do not remove the brown or grey coating of the elec-

• Do not unscrew the membrane holder in stainless steel
1.4571 from the membrane cap because the membrane
would be damaged.
→ Regularly make sure the sensor presents no dirt, algae and
bubbles depending on the process: if the membrane is blocked,
change the membrane cap.
