3. | When the cover breaks loose from the body, pull |
| straight out on the cover to expose the com- |
| ponents attached to the body and disconnect the |
| BNC connector from the preamplifier, leaving the |
| cable connected. Inspect the internal preamplifier |
| area for signs of moisture or corrosion; moisture |
| can short out the preamplifier. Dry all parts thor- |
| oughly before testing. |
4. | Short the center pin of the BNC on the |
| er to the outside of the BNC connector. |
5. | The meter indication should be approximately |
| center scale (7 pH). |
6. | If the meter indication is not as specified in Step 5, |
| proceed to the transmitter instruction manual for |
| further troubleshooting. If the transmitter is opera- |

CAUTION
DO NOT use a pipe wrench on the body or cover. Severe damage could result.

3.5T Automatic Temperature Compensator. The temper- ature compensator element is temperature sensitive and can be checked with an ohmmeter. Resistance increases with temperature.
The 3K element will read 3000 ohms ± 1% at 25°C (77°F) and a
