-The SZ10T electrode requires only little maintenance but should be checked regularly. Normal cleaning/rinsing of the body and replenishment of the electrolyte (see [[http://www.consort.be/wiki/do_issues#start_up|Start Up]]) should mostly be sufficient. +The SZ10T electrode requires only little maintenance but should be checked regularly.

 //Mind that the use in some environments (e.g. algae) might block the membrane and that regular adequate cleaning will be required. //Mind that the use in some environments (e.g. algae) might block the membrane and that regular adequate cleaning will be required.

 For short periods (days to a few weeks), have an electrode bottle filled with clean distilled water to be placed on the electrode (in absence of air). This way, the electrode remains humid and ready for direct use. The Oxygen present in the water will be consumed after some time and the electrode will no longer consume electrolyte. Before using it again, remove the electrode bottle and wait 5 minutes for the electrode to become fully active again and to verify it by e.g. calibration. For short periods (days to a few weeks), have an electrode bottle filled with clean distilled water to be placed on the electrode (in absence of air).

-For longer periods (months) will it be better to remove the membrane cap, empty it, rinse and dry the electrode before putting it aside on a safe place. To take it back in use, reassemble the electrode according to the method described in [[http://www.consort.be/wiki/do_issues#start_up|Start Up]].+For longer periods (months) will it be better to remove the membrane cap, empty it, rinse and dry the electrode before putting it aside on a safe place.
