3. 3 USE AND MAINTENANCE During a measurement with reference electrodes there must be good electrical contact between the reference system and process liquid To guarantee this electrical contact It is necessary to ensure there is sufficient electrolyte solution in the electrode or in the electrolyte reservoir In circumstances where the concentration is not stated on the type plate a saturated KCI solution of KCI in demi water should be used to refill the electrode When the concentration is stated e g Ag 8 3m the electrode must be filled with 3 3 molal KCI Order a 3 3M solution by part number K1500VA Types SR2O0 D 2 The electrodes of this type are filled with a gelled electrolyte solution and refilling is not necessary When there is insufficient electrolyte solution the electrode has probably been used at too high a temperature and therefore replacement by another type of reference electrode is recommended Types SR20 D AC32 To refill electrodes of this type a vacuum pump must be connected to the bottom of the electrode Figure 14 On removing the electrode cap the pump will contract the bellow and refilling with electrolyte solution can be made ATTENTION The pump may be removed after replacing the electrode cap It is recommended to replace the O rings part number set of 5 O rings K1500GE If no vacuum pump is available unscrew the electrode cap Press down the bellow by means of a clean rod with a round top
