Trouble shooting
Error description
Unstable measuring
signal
The display reading
does not react to
different calibration
solutions
Slope too low/high
Drifting sensor signal
Maintenance
ATTENTION
The sensor must be inspected regularly!
Observe current local guidelines!
Check whether the sensor is damaged or the LaF
Cleaning
ATTENTION
If organic solvents are used to clean the sensor, the polymeric shaft material and the
adhesive of the LaF
Wipe contamination carefully away with help of a lint-free paper towel and rinse thoroughly. Remove any
remaining contamination by polishing the LaF
polishing paste (order no. 559810). Remove the residual polishing paste by carefully rinsing with lukewarm
water. Immerse the sensor over night in tap water with 1 ppm fluoride and calibrate again.
Decommissioning
Rinse the sensor after operation with distilled/de-ionized water and dry it carefully by means of a soft lint-
free paper towel. Dab the LaF
Waste disposal
ATTENTION
Observe current local guidelines!

crystal Cleaning of the LaF
(cf. Cleaning)
Use correct calibration solution
Adjust pH of the measuring water
to pH 5,5 and 9,5
Avoid interfering substances
Change the reference electrode
Change the sensor
