CLEANING PROCEDURE
Remove the sleeve and soak the probe in a Hanna HI 7061 General
Cleaning Solution for 1 hour.
If the probe has been left in highly concentrated fertilizer solution and
does not seem to become clean, repeat the cleaning procedure.
The rings can also be cleaned with a cloth. Make sure that the cloth
is made of a soft and non-abrasive material and does not scratch the
rings.
IMPORTANT: After performing the cleaning procedure rinse the
probe thoroughly with distilled or tap water. Dry the probe, replace
the sleeve ensuring that the air-vents are nearer to the cable end
and recalibrate the controller.
TROUBLESHOOTING
If the controller does not respond properly or constantly reads zero or
a value close to it, or is in over range, check the probe and cable for
cracks. The cable may be shorted or the probe broken, in which case
they need to be replaced. If the response seems sluggish, follow the
cleaning procedure above.
If there are anomalies such as numbers fluctuating, enure that the
probe has been properly mounted and that it constantly lies in a well
filled with the solution. Air bubbles also disturb the measurements
(especially with HI 3001D) and the probe should be installed in such
a way as to minimize their presence (see Suggested Installations).
Note: With industrial applications, it is always recommended to keep
a spare probe handy. When anomalies are not resolved with a
simple maintenance, change the probe (and recalibrate the
controller) to see if the problem is alleviated.
The electrode should be installed in such a away that it permanently
lies in the solution, whether in a well, tank or on the discharge pipe.
SHORT DISTANCE, INDOOR INSTALLATION
Due to the low currents involved, a very high grade of insulation is
required. A dry environment is needed in order to obtain a level of
insulation not lower than 10
12
.
This type of connection is very delicate and requires constant attention
to maintain proper operating conditions.
