The Signet 2744-2747 Differential pH and ORP
electrodes are high performance sensors built with the
DryLoc® connector, a Ryton® body, and PTFE reference
junction to handle the most extreme and harshest of
chemical applications.
These differential electrodes use a field-proven
3-electrode differential technique: the pH and reference
electrodes are measured against a ground electrode,
ensuring a steady and stable signal.

Features
• Di erential design for stable measurements in
the most aggressive applications
• Long service life even in severe or di cult
chemical applications
• Memory chip enabled for access to a wide range
of unique features when connected to the Signet
2751 pH/ORP Smart Sensor Electronics
• High performance glass that can withstand
high pH caustic media as well as elevated
temperature applications
• Ryton (PPS) body for broad range of chemical
compatibility
• Watertight DryLoc® connector with foul-proof
gold plated contacts*
• Porous PTFE reference junction resists fouling
and chemical attack
• Rebuildable reference electrode
• Solution ground
• Temperature sensor (pH)
A key feature is the reference electrode, which is housed
in a glass half-cell embedded in the reference chamber
and is protected from compounds that may contain
sulfides (S2-) and metals. To ensure long service life,
the reference features a refillable electrolyte chamber
and a replaceable equitransferant salt bridge, both
easily serviced in the field. The patented porous PTFE
reference junction resists fouling, clogging and chemical
attack.
Other elements of the design are the solution ground,
the pH/ORP electrodes, and the temperature element.
The solution ground eliminates noisy measurements
by draining electrical current away from the reference
electrode. The pH/ORP electrodes are designed with a
flat or bulb surface, and a temperature device positioned
at the tip of the measurement surface for a quick
temperature response. Various temperature devices
offered include 3 KΩ or Pt1000 RTD.
The electrodes are used with the Signet 2751 Smart
Sensor Electronics, which provide a blind 4 to 20 mA
output or use the digital (S3L) output to connect the
Signet 8900, 9900 or 9950 instruments, and the
0486 Profibus Concentrator. The electrodes can also be
used with the 2760 Preamplifier to connect to ProPoint®
and ProcessPro® series of pH/ORP instrumentation.

electrode connector
• Quick temperature response

Electrode Key Features and Benefi ts
1. Glass encased reference electrode protects the Ag/AgCl (silver/silver
chloride) element from reacting with certain chemical compounds that
typically leach into the reference chambers. Keeps the pH/ORP reading
stable.
2. Large volume reference electrolyte chamber resists dilution over time for
a long service life. Chamber is refi llable. Holds approximately 30 ml of
electrolyte.
3. Salt Bridge serves as a double reference junction and is the fi rst line of
defense to keep out process chemicals from the reference electrolyte
chamber. It is built with a double porous PTFE reference junction which is
highly compatible to chemicals, resists fouling and build-up of dirt.
4. Memory chip enabled for convenient data storage and access (calibration
data, operational data, and manufacturing data), electrode health
monitoring via glass impedance measurement when used in connection
with the 2751 pH/ORP Smart Sensor Electronics.
5. Ryton® body for chemical compatibility to most harsh chemicals. Also able
to withstand high temperatures.
6. DryLoc connector with corrosion resistant gold plated pins for quick and
easy sensor removal.
7. Capillary TC (temperature sensor) embedded in tip of pH/ORP electrode for
quick temperature response.
8. Measuring pH/ORP electrode.

Electrode Cut-Away View
A di erential electrode solves many common problems typically experienced by standard pH/ORP electrodes at troublesome
measuring points. See the table below to fi nd the common problem, cause and e ect, and the di erential pH/ORP electrode

The cause and e ect of the

Use a Di erential Electrode to solve
the problem because:
the following:
-
• Salt bridge will slow or stop attack. If attacking

• Readings do not drift due to stable di erential

Note:
The pressure/temperature graphs are specifically
for the Signet sensor. During system design the
specifications of all components must be considered.
In the case of a metal piping system, a plastic sensor

Ordering Notes
1) pH and ORP electrodes require connection to model
2751 or 2760.
2) Conduit and mounting brackets for submersible
installations must always be used (customer
supplied).
3) Adapters from 1 - 1½ in. are available.
4) Use sensor threads for in-line mounting; Model
2751 or 2760 threads for submersible mounting.
5) Reference electrode can be rebuilt with
replacement electrolyte and salt bridge.

Application Tips
• Use the fl at glass electrodes when a self-cleaning
feature is desired; especially useful in applications
with abrasive chemicals for in-line installations.
• Use bulb protected electrodes for low temperature
applications where a fast response is required.
• ORP electrodes are generally used for chemical
reaction monitoring, not control.
• Ensure sensor materials are chemically compatible
with the process liquid.
• Keep electrode tip wet, avoid air pockets and
sediment.

The Signet pH bu ers are ideal for calibration. The
liquid solutions are conveniently packaged in one pint
(473 ml) bottles. pH bu er kits in powder pillows are
available for mixing fresh solutions with water at the
time of use.
All pH bu ers are color coded for easy identifi cation;
4.01 pH is red, 7.00 pH is yellow, and 10.00 pH is blue.
All pH bu ers are traceable to NIST standards.
The 4.01 and 7.00 pH bu er solutions can be used
to calibrate ORP sensors when saturated with
quinhydrone.
