CARE AND USE

Probe Maintenance:  The silver cathode should always be bright and untarnished.  If it is tarnished or stained, the cathode should be cleaned gently with a lint-free cloth following these steps: 

1. Rinse the probe with deionized or distilled water.
2. Replace the membrane cap using fresh electrolyte.
3. Recalibrate the meter.

Membrane Maintenance:  For accurate and stable measurements, the membrane surface needs to be in perfect condition.  Protect the thin membrane from scratches, abrasions or contact with solids by following these steps: 

1. If no measurements are taken for a few hours, cover the membrane with the plastic protective cap.
2. If fouled, rinse carefully with distilled or deionized water.
3. If damaged, replace the membrane cap.

Note:  Change the membrane every 8 weeks, or more frequently if used in an especially fouling environment.  Check and replace the electrolyte fill solution every 4 weeks. 

Storage:  After taking measurements, switch the meter off and clean the probe before storage.  When not in use, the probe should be stored with the plastic cap on. 

For short-term storage, the probe can also be stored in a beaker of deionized water with the protective plastic cap removed.   

For long-term storage, the probe should be stored dry following these steps:

1. Disconnect the probe from the meter.
2. Unscrew the membrane cap.
3. Remove any electrolyte solution from the cap.
4. Rinse the probe anode/cathode assembly with distilled water and blot dry.
5. Screw the membrane cap onto the probe until the membrane cap is hand tight.
