8.3.1 Visual Inspection of Anode Rod
Check magnesium anode (Fig. 18, Item. 1)for
decay. Replace anode rod, if the diameter is reduced
to ½" to ¾".
8.3.2 Check the Magnesium anode with Multi-meter
Follow the outlined procedure:
Remove one side of the grounding lead (Fig. 17,
Item. 3)onthetank.
Set multi-meter (MM) to DcmA (milli amps)
Connect black cable (Fig. 17, Item. 6)ofMMto
grounging cable or bolt (Fig. 17, Item. 7).
Connect red cable (Fig. 17, Item. 5)ofMMtothe
anode.
Ensure clean metallic surfaces for terminal
connections.
The tank must be filled with water during the test.
A reading between .3 mA and 10 mA on the MM is
good.
Record readings each year in the Table 4.
Record the test date and sign off in the table below:
Properly reconnect the grounding cable after each
test.
NOTICE
Do not contaminate the surface of the rod
with oil or grease. Keep the rod clean.
