Maintenance tasks
Cleaning the membrane
If it is no longer possible to calibrate the sensor you can try to clean the
membrane.
Firstly disassemble the sensor. Observe the safety instructions.
Loose dirt clinging to the cap:
Removing deposits (scale, rust):
You should now refill the membrane cap with electrolyte, run in and
recalibrate (see sections 5 "Assembly", 7.1 "Run-in period" and 7.2
"Calibration").
Replacing the membrane cap
If the sensor fails to calibrate even after cleaning the membrane, or if the
membrane is damaged, you must replace the membrane cap (see sections 5
"Assembly", 7.1 "Run-in period" and 7.2 "Calibration").

containing grease.
Check the sensor display value on the controller using an appropriate
chlorine measuring system (e.g. DPD-1).
If necessary recalibrate the sensor (see 7.2 "Calibration").
Rinse the membrane under a gentle stream of cold tap water.
Disassemble the membrane cap (see 11 "Decommissioning").
Place the membrane cap in a bath of 5 % hydrochloric acid
