General Guidelines for fixed installation:
• Select a water-sampling site that will allow collection of representative water
samples.
• Position the probe so the sensor surfaces face toward the flow. This will
minimize air bubble or fluid cavitation. Limit flow rate to moderate
• Mount Probe 0 to 45° angle from vertical to avoid sensors (pH, pH/ORP,
ISE) from becoming electrically discontinuous due to internal electrolytes
flowing away from their internal cells.
• Install meter or probe where they will be accessible for maintenance as
required.
• Regularly visit water sampling sites to: check for damage to sensors, the
installation mountings, and the probe/meter battery power.
• Remove aquatic weed growth that may be interfering with water sample
collection.
• Set up devices and programs for water monitoring and sampling.
• If the probe is suspended from a pier or bridge ensure that it is protected
from debris by positioning behind a support and anchoring the cable /probe
to a pipe.
• Have access to spare sensors and proper range standard solutions or
buffers.
• Strictly follow the established SOP’s.
• Download data to a laptop computer or meter on site.
• Protect probe and sensors from excessive sunlight.
• Flow cell installation; Avoid trapped air. Maintain constant flow rate.
