Function and system design

Measuring principle
Measuring system
pH measurement
The pH value is used as a unit of measurement for the acidity or alkalinity of a liquid medium. The
membrane glass of the electrode supplies an electrochemical potential which is dependent upon the
pH value of the medium. This potential is generated by the selective penetration of H+ ions through
the outer layer of the membrane. An electrochemical boundary layer with an electric potential forms
at this point. An integrated Ag/AgCl reference system serves as the required reference electrode.
The transmitter converts the measured voltage into the corresponding pH value using the Nernst
equation.
ORP measurement
The ORP potential is a unit of measurement for the state of equilibria between oxidizing and
reducing components of a medium. The ORP is measured using a platinum or gold electrode instead
of the pH-sensitive glass membrane. Analog to the pH measurement, an integrated Ag/AgCl
reference system is used as a reference electrode.
A complete measuring system comprises:
• Sensor CPF81D, CPF81, CPF82D or CPF82
• Transmitter,e.g. Liquiline CM44x/R or Liquiline M CM42
• Measuring cable, e.g. CYK10 or sensor's fixed cable

Communication and data transmission
Communication with the transmitter
Always connect digital sensors to a transmitter with Memosens technology. Data transmission to a
transmitter for analog sensors is not possible.

The digital sensors are able to store the following system data in the sensor.
• Manufacturing data
– Serial number
– Order code
– Date of manufacture
• Calibration data
– Calibration date
– Calibrated slope at 25 °C (77 °F) (CPF81D)
– Calibrated zero point at 25 °C (77 °F) (CPF81D)
– Calibrated offset (CPF82D, ORP mV measuring mode)
– Slope as % (CPF82D, ORP % measuring mode)
– Temperature offset
– Number of calibrations
– Serial number of the transmitter used for the last calibration
– Calibration database (stores the last 8 calibrations in the Memosens head)
• Application data
– Temperature application range
– pH application range (CPF81D)
– ORP application range (CPF82D)
– Date of first commissioning
– Maximum temperature value
– Operating hours at temperatures above 80 °C (176 °F) and 100 °C (212 °F)
– Operating hours at very low and very high pH values (Nernst voltage below -300 mV, above
+300 mV)
Dependability
Interference immunity
Safety
Reliability
Easy handling
Sensors with Memosens technology have integrated electronics that allow for saving calibration data
and further information such as total hours of operation and operating hours under extreme
measuring conditions. Once the sensor has been connected, the sensor data are transferred
automatically to the transmitter and used to calculate the current measured value. As the calibration
data are stored in the sensor, the sensor can be calibrated and adjusted independently of the
measuring point. The result:
• Easy calibration in the measuring lab under optimum external conditions increases the quality of
the calibration.
• Pre-calibrated sensors can be replaced quickly and easily, resulting in a dramatic increase in the
availability of the measuring point .
• Maintenance intervals can be defined based on all stored sensor load and calibration data and
predictive maintenance is possible.
• The sensor history can be documented on external data carriers and evaluation programs at any
time. Thus, the current application of the sensors can be made to depend on their previous history.
Data security thanks to digital data transmission
Memosens technology digitizes the measured values in the sensor and transmits the data to the
transmitter using a non-contact connection that is free from potential interference. The result:
• Automatic error message if sensor fails or connection between sensor and transmitter is
interrupted
• Immediate error detection increases measuring point availability
Maximum process safety
With inductive transmission of the measured value using a non-contact connection, Memosens
guarantees maximum process safety and offers the following benefits:
• All problems caused by moisture are eliminated.
– Plug-in connection free from corrosion
– Measured value distortion from moisture is not possible.
– The plug-in system can even be connected under water.
• The transmitter is galvanically decoupled from the medium. Issues concerning "symmetrical highimpedance" or "asymmetry" or an impedance converter are a thing of the past.
• EMC safety is guaranteed by screening measures for the digital transmission of measured values.
