Chapter 7 Maintenance
1. The storage of pH glass electrode, short-term:
stored in the pH = 4 buffer solution;
long-term: stored in the pH = 7 buffer solution.
2. pH glass electrode cleaning
pH glass electrode cleaning glass electrode bulb contamination may make
the electrode response time longer. CCl4 or soap can be used to wipe the dirt,
and then immersed in distilled water a day and night to continue to use. When
the pollution is serious, can be 5% HF solution for 10 to 20 minutes,
immediately rinse with water, and then immersed in 0.1N HCl solution for a
day and night to continue to use.
3. Glass electrode aging treatment
The aging of the glass electrode and the gradual change in the structure of
the glue layer. Old electrode response is slow, film resistance is high, slope is
low. Exfoliation of the outer layer with hydrofluoric acid can often improve
electrode performance. If this method can be used to regularly remove the
inner and outer layers, the electrode life is almost unlimited.
4. The storage of the reference electrode
Silver - silver chloride electrode The best storage solution is saturated
potassium chloride solution, high concentration of potassium chloride solution
can prevent the silver chloride in the liquid junction precipitation, and maintain
the liquid junction in the work status. This method also applies to the storage
of composite electrodes.
5. The reference electrode regeneration reference electrode problems caused
by the vast majority of liquid junction caused by blockage, the following
methods can be resolved:
 Soaking fluid interface: 10% saturated potassium chloride solution and 90%
distilled water mixture, heated to 60 ~ 70 ℃, the electrode immersed in
about 5cm, soak for 20 minutes to 1 hour. This method dissolves the
crystallization of the electrode tip.

[Link] - 17 -
Chapter 7 Maintenance

 Ammonia Soaking: When the liquid interface is blocked by silver chloride

can be leaching with concentrated ammonia. The specific method is to
clean the electrode, the liquid vent after immersion in ammonia 10 to 20
minutes, but do not let ammonia into the electrode inside. Remove the
electrode with distilled water to wash, re-add the internal liquid and continue
to use.
 Vacuum method: the hose to match the reference electrode fluid interface,
the use of water suction pump, suction part of the liquid through the fluid
interface, remove the mechanical blockage.
 Boiling fluid junction: silver - silver chloride reference electrode liquid
interface immersed in boiling water for 10 to 20 seconds. Note that the next
time you boil, the electrode should be cooled to room temperature.
 When the above methods are invalid, sandpaper grinding can be used to
remove the mechanical method of grinding. This method may cause the
sand under the grinding into the liquid interface. Causing permanent
clogging.

 Chapter 8 Troubleshooting

Chapter 8 Troubleshooting
 No display on controller?
A: Check if the power cable is correctly connected, power is on.
 Number in display is jumping up and down?
A: Check if there is any interference equipment such as frequency
converter is nearby. The instrument should be kept away from such
interference equipment or protected with good shielding measures.
 Conductivity instrument can not be calibrated?
A: The standard solution is not mixed in a correct way or the electrode is
damaged.
 The instrument can not measure accurately after calibration with a standard
solution of conductivity of 1413us/cm?
A: Check if the standard solution is polluted. Replace the solution and
calibrate again.
 The response of number is slow?
A: If the electrode is covered by dirt, the response would be slow. Clean the
pollutant in a corresponding method. A slow response is normal in winter.
