Note:
1.The electrode has no command buffer, so the host needs to wait for the command to be executed,
and the command can only be executed after the data transmission is over.
2.After the written command is executed, the host could receiving the return data after 600ms.
3.Types of data involved:(1)int：Represents a 16-bit length byte；（2）Float：Represents a 32-bit
single-precision floating point number.
4.ASCII means there are 6 ASCII characters, and BCD means a decimal number composed of
every 4 bits

Note:
a. After the calibration is found to be failed, the electrode needs to be stirred, and then 153
rounds 2 recalibration points.
b. If ERR error occurs, check the combination of CA3, CA2,
CA1:000:Correct;001:Zero point out of range;010:Slope is out of range;011:Unstable
reading;100:Temperature out of range;101:Out of the standard solution judgment range;110:There
are two points of the same calibration solution.

Operation

a. For each electrode, the electrode zero and slope have been measured/established individually
and the values stored inside the electrode.
b. Carefully remove the plastic protective cap on the lower end of the electrode (this protective
cap is filled with KCl solution and should only be used during storage or transportation).
Then rinse the electrode with deionized water. After rinsing, the electrodes should be wiped
dry with a paper towel. Do not rub the glass membrane, otherwise electrostatic charge will be
generated which will reduce the electrode response speed.
c. When using for the first time or after long-term storage, soak the lower end of the electrode
(including the glass bulb and the exudation interface) in 3 mol/L KCl solution for ten minutes.
This hydrates the glass bulb and wets the exudate interface.
d. Check whether there are air bubbles inside the glass bulb of the electrode. If there is, shake
the electrode up and down gently to fill the bulb with solution.
e. Regularly calibrate the electrode. Before calibrating the first point, the electrode needs to be
fully rinsed with tap water. If it cannot be cleaned, the electrode must be cleaned according to
the maintenance instructions before electrode calibration. After the first point calibration is
completed, before entering the second point calibration, The electrode must be rinsed clean to
avoid contamination of the second point of calibration solution by the residue of the first
point of calibration solution.

Maintenance

It is recommended to wash after each use. Do not rub the glass film, otherwise it will generate
electrostatic charge and reduce the response speed of the electrode.

The electrode cannot be stored dry, make sure that the protective cap is filled with 3mol/L KCL
solution, insert the electrode can be stored for a long time.
For routine maintenance of the electrode, it is necessary to clean the electrode, and then vertically
insert the electrode into the protective cap filled with 3mol/L KCL solution. The regular
maintenance electrode time is 1~3 hours, and the maintenance period is 45~60 days.
According to the type of pollution, refer to the following instructions to remove the dirt on the
electrode:
a. Fully rinse the electrode with deionized water or pure water.
b. General pollution (lime, cyanide and metal hydroxide adhesion and low solubility organic
adhesion matter): soak the electrode after preliminary cleaning in 3-5% dilute hydrochloric
acid HCI for 3-5 minutes to dissolve the precipitate.
c. Organic matter and grease pollution: Soak the electrode after initial cleaning in ethanol or
acetone for a short time, about 5-10 seconds.
d. Sulfide contamination (blackening of the electrode head and exudation interface): Soak the
initially cleaned electrode in a solution of thiourea (commercial) and HCI (3%) until the
electrode diaphragm is colorless. Use plenty of water to clean it thoroughly , And then soak
in 3mol KCI overnight.
e. Protein contamination (yellow electrode head and exudation interface): Soak the electrode
after preliminary cleaning in a solution of pepsin (commercial) and hydrochloric acid (0.5%)
(for at least 1 hour), and rinse thoroughly with plenty of water.
f. Protein contamination (yellow electrode head and exudation interface): Soak the electrode
after preliminary cleaning in a solution of pepsin (commercial) and hydrochloric acid (0.5%)
(for at least 1 hour), and rinse thoroughly with plenty of water.
