Aging
Please note that every electrode undergoes a natural aging process. The re-
sponse time increases and the slope decreases with the age of the electrode.
The following factors shorten the lifetime considerably:
Unsuitable storing conditions (see section S
Special measuring conditions (e.g. organic solutions, frequent measure-
ment with high concentrations of interfering ions)
High temperatures
High changes in temperature
The warranty does not cover damage caused by measuring conditions and
mechanical damage.
Maintenance
Combination electrodes:
Refill any used up bridge electrolyte.
In the case of increased response times of the electrode perform the fol-
lowing activities:
– Polish the membrane surface using an SF/K polishing strip (see section
R
ECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES
deionized water, and with circular movements polish the membrane
surface for approx. 30 seconds.
– Then recondition the electrode (see section C
,
CALIBRATION
MEASUREMENT
Clean the inside of the combination electrode. To do so, open the
combination electrode as follows:
1
Unscrew the knurled nut from the connection head.
2
Position the connection cable upward in a straight line with the con-
nection head.
3
Unscrew the connection head.
4
Push the connection head and pressure spring over the connection
cable.
5
Push the inner body out of the shaft.
