Section 4 Preparation for use
Make sure to remove the protective tape from the reference junction of new probes. A probe with a
blocked reference junction will not operate correctly.
New probes come with protective tape and a soaker bottle that contains storage solution to keep the
glass bulb and reference junction hydrated. Prepare the probe as follows.
1. Remove the protective tape from the reference junction. Refer to
2. Rinse the reference junction and glass bulb with deionized water. Blot dry with a lint-free cloth.
3. For faster stabilization, soak the probe for 3 or more minutes in the sample before use.
4. Make sure that the meter has the correct date and time settings. The service-life time stamp in
the probe comes from the date and time settings in the meter.
Note: Some meters automatically open the date and time settings when the meter starts for the first time, or
after battery replacement.
5. Connect the probe to the meter.
