7 PROBE CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Keep the conductivity probe clean. Rinse the probe twice, and gently swirl it
while you take readings. For best accuracy, soak a dry probe for at least 5 to 10
minutes or longer before calibration. Rinse the probe with deionized or tap
water before storing. Never scratch the bands with a hard substance. Do not
strike the probe against any hard surface.
Do not make continuous contact with your solutions. Readings will rise over a
period of time while you soak your probe.
Do not immerse the probe in oily solutions. Clean the
electrode thoroughly by stirring it in a mild detergent
bath or isopropyl alcohol. Wipe the probe with a soft
tissue paper. Rinse thoroughly in tap water and then in
deionized water. Recalibrate the meter after cleaning
the probe.
The conductivity probe (Order Part No. EC-
CONSEN91B/ 35606-55) which is included with your
meter features a removable probe guard to make
cleaning easy.
To remove probe guard:
1) Grip yellow probe guard and twist clockwise. The
locking notch will release.
2) Slide probe guard off end of probe.
NOTE: Remember to re-attach the probe guard prior to taking readings. Failure
to do so could result in erroneous readings.
