8.2 Soak procedure for dry probes
If the glass bulb becomes dry, complete the steps that follow to hydrate the probe.
1. Soak the probe tip in pH 4 and pH 7 buffer solutions for 5 minutes in each solution.
2. Rinse the probe with deionized water. Blot dry with a lint-free cloth.
3. Calibrate the probe.
8.3 Remove or install the shroud
Remove the shroud on the rugged probe during calibration and maintenance. Refer to Figure 4.
Keep the shroud installed on the rugged probe during sample measurements to prevent damage to
the sensor. Refer to Figure 5.
