Metallic electrode 53 58
Introduction
The 53 58 is a platinum electrode for
general use.
"Low cost" these are fixed cable elec-
trodes with high-performance and very
competitive price.
SAFETY NOTE
Before use with hazardous substanc-
es, find out about the relevant haz-
ards, protective measures, and what
to do in an emergency.
Electrode preparation
• Remove the storage protector
Installation
In immersion, insertion, flotation hous-
ings, etc. with PG 13,5 thread.
See Housing instruction manual.
In some cases the electrode is installed,
with the help of sockets and adapters,
directly onto pipes.
Calibration
See pH-meter instruction manual.
Measurements. Recommendations
• During measurement the samples must
be slightly stirred.
• The sample must cover the electrode's
diaphragm
• After measurement, rinse the electrode
with distilled water. Dry it with soft
tissue.
• Between measurements the electrode
should be immersed in aqueous solu-
tion. The most appropriate place is the
storage protector with some electro-
lyte.
Maintenance
• Diaphragm cleaning: use the diaphragm
cleaning solution, code LZW9600.
• Platinum ring cleaning: can be ribbed
with soft abrasive, for example tooth
paste.
Troubleshooting
... the pH-meter always measures the
same value.
Short circuit in the electrode, cable or
connector.
Substitute the electrode.
... fortuitous reading.
Broken cable.
Substitute the electrode.
... very slow response.
Dirt on the diaphragm and/or the met-
alic ring.
Reference system worn out.
Clean, regenerate or replace the
electrode.
Storage
Place the electrode in the storage protec-
tor with KCl 3M sat. AgCl.
Life of an electrode
The life expectancy of the electrode could
be indefinite when the suitable mainte-
nance is applied.
