Danger
When dealing with acidic solutions that contain cyanide, there is dan-
ger of poisoning by released hydrocyanic acid. It is imperative to add
the alkaline reagent MZ/NH3/CN to any sample in order to raise the pH
value of the sample to > 10 and prevent the release of hydrocyanic acid.
Carry out cyanide determinations in acidic media with special safety
measures only, e.g. in a fume hood.
1
Remove the storage vessel.
2
Fill the bridge electrolyte ELY/BR/503 into the filling opening.
3
Shortly press the shaft of the combination electrode against the con-
nection head to wet the ground junction with bridge electrolyte.
4
When doing so refill any spilled bridge electrolyte so that the inner
junctions are covered with bridge electrolyte.
5
Rinse the combination electrode with deionized water.
6
Wipe the shaft using a clean paper towel.
For measurements with the CN 500 electrode, a reference electrode is re-
quired (e.g. R 503). The two electrodes together form a double rod combina-
tion electrode.
1
Put the reference electrode into operation (see operating manual of
the reference electrode).
2
Remove the protection cap of the electrode.
3
Rinse the electrode with deionized water.
4
Wipe the shaft using a clean paper towel.
