Maintenance

Clean the sensor

Chemical exposure hazard. Obey laboratory safety procedures and wear all of the personal protective
equipment appropriate to the chemicals that are handled. Refer to the current safety data sheets
(MSDS/SDS) for safety protocols.
Clean the sensor when unexpected increases or decreases in flow or level trends occur and after
use in sandy or muddy waterways.
For heavy contamination, soak the sensor in clear water for a few minutes to help make the
contamination easy to remove.
Disconnect the sensor from the meter before it is cleaned. Use only solutions listed as acceptable in
Table 3 to clean the sensor. For sensors with a pressure cell (i.e., velocity plus depth sensors), make
sure the holes for the pressure cell chambers are washed out and clear of contamination. Rinse the
sensor with clean water before re-attaching the sensor to the assembly.
