QUICK START INSTRUCTION GUIDE
Thank you for choosing Hanna Instruments products. Please read this instruction
manual before using this electrode. This manual will provide you with all the necessary
information for the correct use of the electrode.
CLEANING AND PREPARATION PROCEDURE:
1. Reverse the electrode, remove the sleeve with carefully rotation and pull straight
along the axis of the electrode, paying attention not to bend the glass.
2. Clean o any traces of electrolyte gel dirt, using one of the following cleaning solutions:
HI7061, HI70630, HI70631 or HI70641. Fill the inside space with HI9071 relling gel for
about ⅓ compart (if you do not have HI9071 relling gel, you can use HI7082 Storage
Solution).

3. Insert and push the sleeve onto the electrode, making sure that the black O-ring is xed
inside the electrode body. Any excess of gel will be expelled from the end of the electrode
through the junction. Use a paper to clean it.
4. Shake the electrode down as you would do with a clinical thermometer to eliminate any air
bubbles inside the glass bulb. Remove the excess of gel and the electrode is ready for use.
MAINTENANCE:
When the electrode is not in use, you must store the electrode immersed in 3.5M KCl
solution, in order to stabilise junction potential. If left to dry, pH glass will not deteriorate.
In less than an hour, the pH electrode glass usually rehydrates. Replace the relling gel
whenever is needed.
