SENSOR PREPARATION & INSTALLATION
DO Sensor
Cleaning the Smart Cap:
• Use a mild detergent and a soft-bristled toothbrush (not the brush in the maintenance kit) to clean.
• Rinse with water after cleaning and dry with a laboratory tissue.
• Hydrate in purified water before use.
Smart Caps require replacement on a yearly basis.
Note: The first time a new DO Smart Cap is installed on a sensor and the sensor is installed in
a probe and powered, the Cap start date will be registered in the Probe Status screen. After one
year, a pop-up message will signal expiration.
EC Sensor
After every series of measurements, rinse the probe with tap water.
If a more thorough cleaning is required:
• Clean the sensor with brush found in the maintenance kit to loosen any debris.
• Use a mild detergent to remove oily coatings.
• Ensure that the two cylindrical holes in the sensor are free of foreign material.
• Flush with purified water after cleaning.
