3.1Cleaning the Sensor
Keep the sensor as clean as possible for optimum measurement accuracy. Frequency of cleaning depends upon the process solution.
Note: Mechanical cleaning of the electrode surfaces may harm measurement quality if not performed with care. Do NOT use wire brushes, sandpaper and the like to clean any conductivity electrode.
Wipe the measuring end of the sensor with a clean with a clean soft cloth. Then rinse with clean water (distilled or
If necessary, soak the sensor for several minutes in a mild soap solution. Use a small,
Note: DO NOT soak the sensor in dilute acid solution for more than 5 minutes.
WARNING: ACIDS ARE HAZARDOUS. Always wear eye and skin protection when handling. Follow all Material Safety Data Sheet recommendations. A hazardous chemical reaction can be created when certain acids come in contact with process chemicals. Make this determination before cleaning with any acid, regardless of concentration. DO NOT use Hydrochloric Acid on any stainless steel portion of the sensor.
After cleaning the sensor, check measurement and
