4.2. pH Sensor Refurbishment - Replacing the Salt Bridge and Reference Solution 
 
4.2.1. If the sensor head has been cleaned
 
(see section 4.1.2) and calibration cannot 
be achieved, replace the salt bridge and 
reference solution. 
 
4.2.2. Hold the sensor firmly with the electrode 
tip facing upwards.  Remove the existing 
salt bridge by using a 15/16 wrench 
(24mm) and turning it counterclockwise.  
Dispose of the salt bridge using an 
approved method. 
 
4.2.3. Pour out the old reference solution.  
Rinse the reservoir with distilled or de-
ionized water. 
 
4.2.4.  Slowly fill the reservoir with reference 
solution so the solution just covers the 
reference O-ring. 
 
 
 
4.2.5. Slowly screw the new salt bridge clockwise onto 
the sensor head until secure.  Tighten the salt 
bridge with a 15/16 wrench (24mm) until snug. 
 
 
Do not over tighten. 
Maximum torque: 10 lbs
⋅in  (1.13 N⋅m) 
 
 
4.2.6. After replacing the salt bridge and reference 
solution, calibrate the sensor according to the 
instructions in the Alpha pH2000D controller 
manual.   
 
 
If after cleaning and refurbishment sensors still have slow responses, low measurement 
slopes or are seriously abraded or scratched they must be replaced.   
 
 
Do not over fill.  Overfilling will 
lead to excessive pressures that 
will affect the junction potentials of 
the reference.
