8.4 Troubleshooting InLab® OptiOx
Issue
Unable to calibrate
Measurements are unstable
Measurement is too low
Wrong temperature displayed
1 Rinse the sensor thoroughly with distilled water, blot it dry with a lint-free tissue and examine the cap for
scratches or discoloration.
2 Remove the cap from the sensor and make sure that there is no water inside the cap, the optical window is
clean and clear, the O-rings are intact and have a thin coating of silicone grease and the spring contacts
are clean and undamaged.
3 If readings continue to be errativ and unstable, a replacement of the cap or the whole sensor may be
necessary.

Maintenance
Recommended Action
Verify the calibration setup and procedure. Make sure that no
water droplets are on the surface of the cap. Verify that the cap
lifetime has not expired yet.
Measurements may take longer if the solution temperature is
unstable.
Salt may be present in the sample. Set the salinity factor in the
meter.
Verify that the temperature sensor (metallic pin along the sensor
shaft) is immersed in the solution.
