Q Precautions for handling the electrode cable

The pH electrode cable is highly insulated. Follow the instructions below when handling it.
z Do not wet the terminals of the cable or the terminal block, nor stain them with finger
marks or oil. Otherwise, the insulation of the cable is weakened.
If the insulation is weakened, the readout may become unstable. Keep the cable dry and
clean all the time.
If a terminal is stained, wipe the dirt off using alcohol or the like and dry the terminal well.
z Allow enough cable length for calibration, or inspection/replacement of the electrode.
z Wire the power cable and junction cables keeping them off any devices that may give
inductive interferences such as a motor or its cables.
Q Connection
The electrode cable has the following terminals.
S: Glass electrode shielded drive terminal
G: Glass electrode terminal
R: Reference electrode terminal
SE: Liquid ground electrode terminal
T, T: Temperature compensation electrode terminal
E: Shielded wire
Connect the cable to the terminal block as shown in the figure below. Making sure that each

Maintenance procedure for HP-480
J Checks of HP-480
The decreased insulation of the electrode connector makes it difficult to make accurate
measurements.
Check the electrode plate periodically (about once every year) to see whether it is free from
rust and any other cause for the decreased insulation.
Use soft cloth to wipe off dirt on the case for the HP-480.
Note
Do not use any organic solvent.
Maintenance of electrode
This section describes the maintenance method of a general pH electrode.

For further details, refer to the instruction manual for each electrode.
J Cleaning the electrode

Dirt on the electrode can delay the response speed, reading drift, and instability. Periodically
check the tip (glass membrane) and the liquid junction of the electrode and maintain them
clean by rinsing off any dirt and coating.
It is recommended that the electrode be cleaned when calibration is performed using a
standard solution. In this case, clean the electrode before the calibration.
Note
When a cleaner is installed, stop its operation and then perform the maintenance of the electrode.
Turn OFF the HP-480 or hold down the HOLD key to enter the hold mode and then start the
maintenance.
