Proper installation is essential to ensure accurate potential measurement and long-term performance of the Ag/AgCl reference electrode.

• Install the electrode in direct contact with seawater, close to the structure being monitored.
• Position the electrode so that it represents the true local potential of the structure.
• Secure the electrode using appropriate clamps, brackets, or mounting hardware to prevent movement.
• Ensure the sensing surface remains exposed to seawater and is not blocked by coatings or debris.

Cable & Connection Requirements

• Protect lead cables from mechanical damage, abrasion, and sharp edges.
• Route cables securely to avoid tension, bending, or chafing.
• For permanent installations, all cable joints and terminations must be waterproofed to prevent seawater ingress and signal instability.

Maintenance & Inspection

• Ag/AgCl reference electrodes generally require minimal maintenance.
• Periodically inspect cable insulation and connection integrity, especially in harsh offshore environments.
• Monitor potential readings; replace the electrode if abnormal drift or physical damage is detected.
• Portable electrodes should be stored in a moist environment when not in use to maintain electrode stability (if applicable).

Safety & Compliance

• Installation should be carried out by qualified personnel familiar with cathodic protection systems.
• Ensure cable routing does not create safety hazards on decks or subsea structures.
• Follow applicable marine electrical safety standards and cathodic protection guidelines.
• Confirm depth and pressure ratings for deep-water or high-pressure installations.

Ordering & Customization

When ordering a Marine Ag/AgCl Reference Electrode, please specify:

• Required cable length
• Operating temperature range
• Installation environment (subsea, splash zone, permanently submerged)
• Any certification or project-specific requirements

Custom configurations are available to meet specific project and installation needs.
