To clean the sensors, disconnect from the controller and carefully remove them from the flow cell.
Clean the reference junction (the white teflon ring at the bottom of sensor body) with a soft tooth
brush and regular tooth paste. A household liquid dishwashing detergent may also be used to
remove any oil. Rinse with fresh water, replace teflon thread-seal tape, and reinstall sensors.
Sensor Replacement
CAT Professional Series pH and ORP sensors are engineered to provide the highest performance
and longest possible functional service life. If properly cleaned, sensors provide unstable readings
or require excessive calibration, the pair of sensors should be replaced. For optimum controller
performance, replace with genuine CAT Professional Series sensors PRO15-2 and PRO25-2.
Sensor Storage
Exposure to atmospheric conditions will cause the sensor tips to dry out. Always remove and prop-
erly store sensors in the soaking caps provided if sensors are to be removed or stored for one hour
or longer. Although CAT Professional Series sensors are freeze-resistant, they must be protected
from freezing temperatures when not in use.
Store sensors in the soaking caps provided, making sure that each container is filled with the origi-
nal storage solution or clean water. If the storage containers have been misplaced, store sensors
individually in small glass or plastic containers with clean water covering sensor tips.
Controller Storage
The controller unit is subject to damage by electro-static discharge (ESD) when the sensor cables
are disconnected. Always reinstall the BNC protective covers prior to storing or transporting the CAT
5000 controller unit.
Winterization
The sensors should be prepared for storage as outlined above and protected from freezing tem-
peratures. Although the CAT 5000 controller is designed to withstand a broad temperature range,
winter storage in a secure location may be desirable.
The flow cell and poly tubing must be drained prior to exposure to freezing temperatures. Either
purge all water using compressed air or thoroughly drain through the valve ports and tubing con-
nections.
Network Communications
Cell and Satellite
All CAT controllers set up on Cell and Satellite networks come already activated for wireless com-
munication. Once the unit has been installed and registered on www.poolcomm.com, the devices
will begin to communicate. Local reception and antenna positioning can affect communication ca-
pability, if the unit does not communicate please call 301-838-4001 and ask for technical support.
WIFI
WIFI Controllers communicate via local WIFI networks. Before these units can begin to communi-
cate, they must be configured to connect to the local WIFI network. Please consult the WIFI Con-
nectivity Checklist also included for technical information and see WIFI Connectivity Setup included.
