HANNA Instruments ....

General guidelines for pH electrode use:


All HANNA electrodes are shipped with a cap that protects the bulb and junction from damage. The cap must be REMOVED and set aside. Remove any salt deposits that may have formed on the surface of the electrode during storage and shipping by thoroughly rinsing with water. The presence of salt deposits is normal and generally indicates that the reference junction is open and free-flowing. Verify that the electrode is connected properly to meter and the meter is powered. During measurement, always operate the electrode with the fill hole open. This does not apply to gel and solid filled electrodes which do not have reference fill hole. During normal use, fill solution will slowly drain out of the junction located on the side of the electrode; excessive loss (> 2 cm drop within 24 hours) is not normal. Add fill solution daily to maintain a good head pressure. For optimum reference response, this level should be maintainedand not be allowed to drop more than 2 cm below fill hole.
