1. GENERAL INFORMATION
This manual covers all AquaMetrix P60, P65, R60 and R65 Series differential measurement pH and ORP probes.
All mounting configurations are described.
Both those probes with encapsulated preamplifiers and those with encapsulated two-wire transmitters are covered. If your probe has five wires it has an encapsulated preamplifier (P60 and R60). If your probe has two wires, or in the case of an ORP probe four wires, it has an encapsulated two-wire transmitter (P65 and R65).
The output from a two-wire transmitter type is non-isolated and un-calibrated. The system must provide 24 Vdc, with “low” isolated from earth ground, and a means of calibrating for offset and span.
NOTE: Do not discard the protective cap(s) that came with the sensor. If the sensor is removed from the process for an extended period of time, thoroughly clean the sensor, put a piece of cotton ball with few drops of water into the protective cap and replace it on the sensor. This keeps the junction from drying out which causes slow response when put back into operation or causes permanent damage to the sensor. Sensors should not be left in dry lines or empty tanks for extended periods.
Do not store the sensors in a dry or humid location. When storing, check the protective cap(s) regularly to make sure the cotton ball remains moist. Improper storage of sensors voids the warranty.

3. INSTALLATION
3.1.General Instructions
Specific instructions for each type of probe are given in the following pages. Common to all probes are the following instructions:
a)If the distance between the probe and the instrument is such that a direct connection is not possible, the probe cable should be routed to a junction box with a terminal strip (AquaMetrix Part No. JB1). The box should be well sealed and away from corrosion danger. Be sure that you have sufficient slack cable to allow for probe removal for calibration and servicing.
b)Route the interconnect cable from the junction box to the instrument, preferably in metal conduit. Do not run the power cable or control cables in the same conduit with the probe interconnect cable.
c)Remove the protective plastic caps from the end of the probe before placing in service.
d)For best results probes should always be mounted vertically with electrodes down. If this is not possible, the probe must be at least 15° above horizontal.
3.2.Connecting the P/R 60 to a Shark
Improper wiring of the probe cable to the controller/transmitter will destroy the probe. Please follow these guidelines:
a)Always power down the controller/transmitter BEFORE connecting the probe cable.
b)First connect the probe wires to the male and THEN insert the male connector into the female connector inside the Shark. Do NOT insert the unwired male connector into the female connector first and then connect the probe wires to the male connector.
c)For the Shark TX/P Transmitter: Make sure the transmitter is disconnected from the power source before wiring the probe to the terminal strip on the back side of the transmitter.
d)Check the wiring. Use the diagrams below to insure that you’ve made the correct connections. If connecting to a Shark controller, make sure that the male connector is inserted into the female connector properly and that it is not offset.
e)Remember: Unplug it, wire it, check it and power it.

3.3.Connecting the P/R 60 to a Shark TX/P
a)Always power down the transmitter BEFORE connecting the probe cable.
b)Make sure the transmitter is disconnected from the power source before wiring the probe to the terminal strip on the back side of the transmitter.
c)Check the wiring. Use the diagrams below to insure that you’ve made the correct connections.
