Installation Method
The EC-1 sensor is meant to be fully submerged in your tank/reservoir. You can use the included mounting bracket for mounting the sensor, or you can use the 3/4" NPT threading for inline installation. When mounting make sure the positioning allows the tip of the sensor to remain fully submerged and in a spot where it won't get knocked around.
Use and maintenance
Your sensor(s) will need periodic cleaning and calibration. The maintenance cycle can vary depending on your environment. To ensure you receive a long life from your sensor, please follow proper use/maintenance instructions.
Proper cleaning:
Remove plastic cap from the tip of the sensor and run under fresh tap water (Do not use distilled, de-ionized, or reverse osmosis water).
Fill a small container with clean tap water.
Add a small amount of probe cleaner or mild dishwashing liquid.
Gently stir sensor in solution. *Make sure you don't knock/bump the sensor off the sides of container as this can cause damage*
Incorrect usage of this sensor voids our warranty.
