Exercise particular care when removing the silicone seal from the reference junction. Here,
a knife is used to activate the sensor for measuring operation.
For correct pH measurement:
Before commissioning the sensor, remove the silicone seal from the junction. Use the knife
supplied for this purpose.

pH/ORP sensors and reference half cells Commissioning

6 Commissioning

6.1 Calibration and measurement

The frequency with which a sensor calibration or sensor check is performed depends on the operating conditions, e.g. contamination and chemical load.
New pH or ORP sensors with Memosens technology do not need to be calibrated. Calibration is only required if very strict accuracy requirements must be met, or if the sensor has been in storage for longer than 3 months.
• Two-point calibration is required for pH sensors. Use a high-quality buffer from Endress+Hauser, e.g. CPY20, for this purpose.
• Single-point calibration is required for ORP sensors. Use a buffer solution with 220 mV or 468 mV from Endress+Hauser, e.g. CPY3, for this purpose.
Remove the protection cap for calibration and measurement.
pH/ORP sensors which are stored dry must be immersed in medium for at least 24 hours
before use. Otherwise severe value drifting can be expected. If the protection cap is no longer used to store the sensor, store the sensor in a KCl solution
(3 mol/l) or buffer solution. The frequency at which a sensor calibration or sensor inspection is performed depends on
the operating conditions (fouling, chemical load). Analog pH or ORP sensors must be calibrated when they are connected for the first time.
1. Immerse the sensor into a defined buffer solution (e.g. pH 7 or 220 mV).
Endress+Hauser 11
Commissioning pH/ORP sensors and reference half cells
In the case of a symmetrical connection (b), also immerse the potential matching line (PML) into the solution. In the case of an asymmetrical connection, use a cable without a PML or cut off the PML directly after the heat shrink tube.
Connection with a PML is not necessary for pH or ORP sensors with Memosens technology (a).
2. Perform the calibration at the transmitter:
(a) In the case of pH sensors and manual temperature compensation, set the measurement temperature.
(b) Enter the pH value , or the mV value, of the buffer solution. (c) Start calibration. (d) The value is accepted once it has stabilized.
3. Rinse the sensor with distilled water. Do not dry the sensor!
In the case of ORP sensors, this completes the calibration and the device is adjusted to the sensor.
4. Immerse the pH sensor into the second buffer solution (e.g. pH 4).
5. Perform the calibration at the transmitter: (a) Enter the pH value of the second buffer solution. (b) Start the calibration. (c) The value is accepted once it has stabilized. The device calculates the zero point and slope and displays the values. Once the adjustment
values have been accepted, the device is adjusted to the new pH sensor.
6. Rinse the pH sensor with distilled water.

7.1 Maintenance tasks

7.1.1 Cleaning the sensor

WARNING
L
Mineral acids and hydrofluoric acid
Risk of serious or fatal injury from caustic burns!
Wear goggles to protect eyes.
Wear protective gloves and appropriate protective clothing.
Avoid all contact with the eyes, mouth and skin.
If using hydrofluoric acid, use plastic vessels only.
WARNING
L
Thiocarbamide
Harmful if swallowed! Limited evidence of carcinogenicity! Possible risk of harm to the unborn child! Dangerous for the environment with long-term effects!
Wear protective goggles, protective gloves and appropriate protective clothing.
Avoid all contact with the eyes, mouth and skin.
Avoid discharge into the environment.
Clean away fouling on the sensor as follows depending on the type of fouling:
1. Oily and greasy films: Clean with fat solvent, e.g. alcohol, or hot water and agents containing surfactants
(alkaline) (e.g. dishwashing detergent).
2. Lime and metal hydroxide buildup and low solubility (lyophobic) organic buildup: Dissolve buildup with diluted hydrochloric acid (3 %) and then rinse thoroughly with
plenty of clear water.
3. Sulfidic buildup (from flue gas desulfurization or wastewater treatment plants): Use a mixture of hydrochloric acid (3 %) and thiocarbamide (commercially available)
and then rinse thoroughly with plenty of clear water.
4. Buildup containing proteins (e.g. food industry): Use a mixture of hydrochloric acid (0.5 %) and pepsin (commercially available) and then
rinse thoroughly with plenty of clear water.
5. Readily soluble biological buildup: Rinse with pressurized water.
After cleaning, rinse the sensor thoroughly with water and then recalibrate.
