Chlorine Sensor Calibration
A new chlorine electrode or one that has had the membrane cap changed must be
calibrated. See page 13, 9950-3 information on calibration of the chlorine sensor. A
diethyl-p-phenylenediamine (DPD) colorimeter test kit (not included) is required for sensor
calibration. A sample is taken and analyzed with the DPD test kit, then this value is
entered into the 9950-3.
• A new system requires an inital 4 hour conditioning.
• Calibrate after a membrane cap change (requires 2 hour stabilization time).
• Calibrate after the internal electrolyte is replaced (requires 2 hour stabilization time).
• Check calibration 24 hours after sensor is placed in service.
• Check calibration weekly to monthly depending on process requirements.
Chlorine Sensor Maintenance
The sensor membrane and internal electrolyte solution must be replaced over the life
of the electrode. To maintain accurate chlorine measurements, GF recommends that
the internal electrolyte be replaced every 3 to 6 months, or when Chlorine readings drift
low and/or cannot maintain a calibration longer than 5 days. Actual interval between
maintenance of the sensor will be dependent on the application, chlorine level and
contaminates in the water. See page 41; Maintenance and Storage.
Keep spare membrane caps available. Membrane caps carry no warranty.
To maintain accurate chlorine measurements, GF recommends the internal electrolyte be
replaced and the gold-plated sensor electrode be properly polished every
3 to 6 months. See page 41.
NOTE: Inspect and change the
membrane cap if damaged.
See page 41, Maintenance, for
cleaning procedure.

9950-3 Calibration
Both the Chlorine and the pH electrodes are required to be calibrated for accuracy. Upon inital set up the electrodes will need to be
placed in a chlorinated fl ow steam for a minimum of 4 hours in a conditioning period. Calibration of the Chlorine electrode is
typically required every 14 to 21 days to comply with the EPA standard 334.0. The calibration frequency of the pH electrode is
application dependent and the intervals between calibrations must be determined by the user of the system.
In order to achieve the most accurate chlorine measurement, after the minimum 4 hour conditioning period, calibration must be
performed in the following specifi c order:
• Temperature
• pH electrode (Free Chlorine only)
• Chlorine electrode
NOTE: The Temperature element only requires calibration one time during initial commissioning. Once calibrated the Temperature
element is calibrated for the life of the chlorine electrode.
Chlorine sensor temperature element calibration
The temperature element inside the chlorine sensor needs to be calibrated. Use a reference thermometer to verify the actual
temperature of the sample. This value is then entered into the calibration screen of the Temperature Calibration menu.
Tip: Remove the pH electrode from the fl ow cell and insert the reference thermometer. If no pH sensor is being used
system), remove the cell plug to insert the thermometer. Replace the plug after calibration.

pH electrode calibration
It is highly recommended to perform a two point calibration of the pH electrode using a pH buffer 7 and pH buffer 4 or 10. The pH
buffers' temperatures should be close to the system water temperature for an accurate calibration. Once a successful calibration
is performed, the 9950 will automatically time stamp the "Last CAL" display with the date of calibration. The user can add a date to
the "NEXT CAL" display which will generate a "Calibration Due" icon across the pH channel (CH2).
Chlorine sensor
Calibration must be performed to every new chlorine sensor (FCl or ClO2) and any time a membrane cap or internal electrolyte is
replaced. With the chlorine sensor attached to the 2650 electronics (with system power on) and placed in a chlorinated fl ow steam
for the minimum of 4 hour conditioning period, the temperature and chlorine In-Process Calibration needs to be performed.
Once a successful calibration is performed the 9950 will automatically time stamp the "Last CAL" display with the date of
calibration. The user can add a date to the "NEXT CAL" display which will generate a "Calibration Due" icon across the chlorine
channel (CH1).
NOTE: It is advised to return 24 hours after the initial Chlorine calibration to verify and recalibrate if necessary.

NOTE:
• The four red Indicator LEDs on the front panel of the 9950-3 show the status of relays
1, 2, 3, & 4. The LEDs will activate with or without a relay module installed.
• Hysteresis and time delay are adjustable for each relay.
CAUTION
Switching active loads (usually inductive) can cause contact arcing
suffi cient to damage the relays.
The RC Filter Kit or “snubber” (part number 3-8050.396) is available
as an accessory to reduce or eliminate these damaging effects.
Recommended for inductive loads greater than 50 VAC (remote relays,
solenoids, pumps, etc.)

Chemical Guard
The Chemical Guard prevents overdosing of oxidant type chemicals (Chlorine) whose concentration
varies based on the pH level of the application.
The Chemical Guard is only accessible in the relay menu when used in conjunction with a fl ow switch
(GF option) that is wired to the Binary Input #1 of the 3-9950.393-3 relay module.
When the Chemical Guard function is selected, Relay 1 is automatically defaulted to control and adjust
the Oxidant chemical (Chlorine) and Relay 2 is defaulted to control and adjust the pH level of the
application.
The control logic (Fig #) will always interrupt (disable) Relay 1 if the pH requires adjusting. Once the pH
is corrected, Relay 1 is then available to add additional oxidants to the application.
The Chemical Guard allows Relay 1 and Relay 2 to be independently programmed as a low set point,
high set point or a proportional pulse output.

The 9950-3 relays are selectable and confi gurable and can be
used as switches that respond when the process value moves
above or below a user-defi ned setpoint or it can be used to
generate a pulse at a rate proportional to the process value.
They can be used for Low Alarm, High Alarm or Proportional
Pulse triggering related to the process value. All relay
functions are set up in the RELAY menus.
The 9950-3 supports the ability to activate the Red Backlight
when a relay is activated. An optional check box is displayed
during the programming of a relay that will turn the Red
Backlight on when the relay is activated. The Red Backlight
can be activated by any relay or relay mode.
Low Setpoint:
Relay is on when the measured value is less than or equal
to the setpoint. Relay turns off when the measured value is
equal to or greater than the Low Setpoint + Hysteresis.
High Setpoint:
Relay is on when the measured value is greater than or equal to
the setpoint. The relay turns off when the measured value is less
than or equal to the High Setpoint - Hysteresis.
Proportional Pulse Operation:
The transmitter can output a pulse at the rate defi ned by the
settings in the CAL menu and the sensor input. The maximum
pulse output is 300 pulses per minute.
As the process value rises above the setpoint, the output will
start pulsing in relation to the process value,
the maximum pulse endpoint and the programmed
pulses/minute. The pulse rate will change as the process
value changes and approaches the programmed endpoint.
This functionality can be used to precisely control the process.
The starting point, endpoint and maximum pulse rate are
select able in the RELAY menus.
Typical usage would be to control solenoid-operated
dosing pumps.
NOTE: Relay LEDs will fl ash in PULSE mode.

9950 Field Software Upgrade
The 9950 upgrade fi le will be available
on the Georg Fischer website. You will
need a USB fl ash drive that is formatted,
using Microsoft Windows, in either FAT16
or FAT32 format. Do not use exFAT or
NTSF formats. These are incompatible
with the 9950.
The upgrade fi le is named Update.Fwc.
Copy the fi le to the root directory of the
Flash Drive. Do not change the name of
the fi le or store the fi le in a sub directory
on the Flash Drive. The 9950 will only
look in the root directory for the specifi c fi le, Update.Fwc.
Important! Do not use a USB extension cable. The USB
fl ash drive must be directly connected to the 9950 USB port.
Sample Flash Drive Directory with Update File
Updating the 9950
Updates available on www.gfps.com.
1. Disconnect power from the 9950.
2. Insert the Flash Drive into the 9950 USB slot.
3. Reconnect power to the 9950.
4. LED 1 on the 9950 will fl ash quickly as the unit searches for a Flash Drive and
the correct fi le.
5. When the 9950 detects a Flash Drive and a valid update fi le, LED 2 will slowly fl ash during the update process.
6. The update process takes approximately 30 seconds.
7. After a successful update the 9950 will boot to the normal screen.
8. If the update is successful, disconnect power, remove USB drive, reconnect power
and review application settings.
Troubleshooting
If, after 10 seconds, the unit boots to the normal screen, the 9950 was unable to fi nd the Flash Drive or the fi le.
a. Verify the Flash Drive has been formatted in either
FAT16 or FAT32 format, the upgrade fi le is in the rootdirectory of the Flash Drive, and the fi le name is
Update.Fwc.
You may also need to try a different fl ash drive.
b. If LED 4 on the 9950 is continuously illuminated, this
indicates either the fi le found on the Flash Drive is
corrupted, or power was interrupted during the upgrade
process.
Remove power from the 9950.
Remove the Flash Drive.
Apply power to the 9950.
c. If the 9950 starts normally, the fi le on the Flash Drive was
corrupted.
Download a new copy of the update fi le and copy it to the
Flash Drive.
Repeat the update instruction with the new fi le.
d. If the 9950 starts up and stops with LED 4 on and a
blank screen, this indicates that the update process was
interrupted and the 9950 cannot start.
Disconnect power from the 9950.
Reattach the Flash Drive to the 9950.
Repeat the upgrade procedure.
e. If the 9950 still does not respond after the second

Overview
pH Compensation for Free Chlorine
Amperometric free chlorine sensors measure only
hypochlorous acid. As noted in the text above and in
Figure 1, the ratio of hypochlorous acid and hypochlorite
is pH dependent. The GF Free Chlorine Panel assemblies
comes complete with a pH electrode to ensure accurate free
chlorine measurement if the pH changes.

Automatic pH Compensation and Free Chlorine
In many applications, the process pH does not signifi cantly
fl uctuate and only a chlorine sensor and instrument are
necessary for accurate chlorine measurement.
When the pH varies the free chlorine concentration cannot
accurately determined without the use of automatic pH
compensation.
The addition of the 3-2724-00 (159 001 545) pH electrode
along with its 3-2751-7 (159 001 957) sensor electronics to
the system makes pH compensation extremely easy and
automatic even with wide fl uctuations or high pH.
See Figure 2 for pH variation recommendations.
Chlorine dioxide is not pH dependant and does not require a
pH electrode or electronics.
It is required to calibrate the sensor after servicing the
membrane and electrolyte. See page 10.
Verifying the sensor's accuracy using the DPD method
should be performed to determine if the sensor requires
maintenance.
1. Inspect the membrane for dirt or damage. Replace
the membrane if it's torn or if the gold cathode is visible.
2. If the membrane is dirty clean the membrane by
soaking it in 1 - 5% HCL and gently wash with a stream
of DI water (do not use any mechanical device on the
membrane).
Refi ll Procedure:
When adding electrolyte, be prepared for an accidental spill.
Working near a sink is recommended.
1. Remove the membrane cap from the front of the sensor.
2. Turn the sensor upside down and shake the sensor
vigorously to remove the internal electrolyte.
3. Fill supplied syringe with electrolyte solution.
Additional caution should be taken when handling Chlorine
Dioxide electrolyte solution.
4. Place the electrode on a level surface.
5. Insert syringe needle fully into one of the eight electrode
holes while injecting with electrolyte solution. Slowly
injecting the electrolyte solution into the sensor to avoid
introducing air bubbles. The electrode holds
approximately 14 milliliters of solution. Slowly fi ll until
solution begins to fl ow out of holes. Do not allow the
solution to run down the electrode and wet the electrical
contacts in the DryLoc connector.
6. Slowly screw on the membrane cap fi nger tight.
Do not use tools.
To avoid damage and contamination, do not touch
the white membrane surface on the membrane cap.
Diluted HCl can irritate the eyes and skin,
use proper safety equipment.
Do not use surface tension reducing chemicals,
detergents or solvents on the membrane.
• If a fresh water rinse does not clean the membrane,
it will need to be replaced.
Avoid skin or eye contact with electrolyte
solution. Wear rubber gloves and goggles.
* Safety Data Sheets (SDS) are
available online at www.gfps.com.

CAUTION:
DO NOT touch the gold-plated tip
or the membrane of the sensor.
Storage
If the sensor or panel assembly is to be removed from
service for a period of time the sensor must be properly
prepared for storage and may need to be recommissioned.
Storage Periods:
1 week or less:
• Close the drain valve, then close the inlet valve of the
fl ow cell, to maintain water inside the fl ow cell to keep
the membrane wet.
• If draining the fl ow cell is required, remove the sensor
from the cell and the 2650 electronics and store in the
shipping bottle with tap water added.
Continue to page 42 for additional storage periods
DO NOT
FREEZE
Dry electrodes are shipped and need to be
stored between –10 ºC to 60 ºC
(14 ºF to 140 ºF) at a relative humidity that
does not exceed 95%.
The primary concerns when storing the
electrode is damage to the membrane.
463X Chlorine Systems Manual
41
Page 42
Storage continued and Reconditioning
Storage periods more than 1 week:
• Remove the membrane cap and internal electrolyte
solution.
• Rinse the sensor internal chamber with DI water or cold
tap water; drain and allow to dry.
• Place the membrane cap back onto the sensor. INSTALL
LOOSE, DO NOT COMPLETELY TIGHTEN THE CAP.
WHEN STORED DRY, THE MEMBRANE CAP MUST
BE STORED RELAXED AND UNSTRESSED.
• Store sensor DRY in the shipping bottle, DO NOT ADD
WATER.
Recommissioning Procedure:
1. Fill the sensor with the electrolyte as outlined
in Maintenance, see page 10, and install the
membrane cap.
2. The sensor will have to be polarized in the fl ow cell
with fl owing Chlorinated water before being used. Note: This may take 30 to 120 minutes before
calibration can be performed.
3. If the sensor does not recover after recommission,
follow steps 1-10 outlined in Reconditioning.
4. If the sensor still fails to work properly, continue
with steps 11-17.
CAUTION!
Bleach and Chlorine Dioxide solutions are very
corrosive and may release dangerous gases if it
comes in contact with acids.
•
Wear proper protective clothing (gloves and eye protection)
• Avoid contact with skin and eyes
• Observe all warnings on safety data sheets
• Avoid spilling bleach and possible contact with acids
Figure 1
Figure 2
Curved Surface
Required to recondition a sensor:
• DI Water
• Beaker (any size available)
• Polishing Sheets (Included in sensor maintenance kit)
3. Place the sensor on a fi rm, fl at surface with gold
cathode pointing upward.
4. Apply a small amount of water to the blue (coarse)
polishing paper (dull side).
5. Polish the gold electrode by moving the paper in a
circular pattern for 30 seconds. DO NOT go back
and forth in a single direction. See Figure 1.
6. Rinse the sensor tip with DI water.
7. Apply a small amount of DI water to the white (fi ne)
polishing paper (dull side) and polish the gold
electrode by moving the paper in a circular pattern
for 30 seconds. DO NOT go back and forth in a
single direction. See Figure 1.
8. Rinse the sensor tip with DI water.
9. Top off the sensor with electrolyte and inspect
membrane for dirt or damage. Replace if
necessary.
10. Insert the sensor into the 2650-7 electronics and
apply power.
Reconditioning Procedure (Steps 11-17):
11. Fill beaker with a 12 mm (½ inch) of the appropriate
solution.
12. Position or suspend the sensor 6 mm to 12 mm
(¼ in. to ½ in.) above the appropriate solution. DO
NOT SUBMERGE THE SENSOR. See Figure 2.
13. Apply power to the system.
14. Monitor the nA of the sensor (press the down arrow
three times on the 9950-3 Chlorine Controller).
The nA reading should start to rise. Response time
and nA reading will depend upon the temperature
of the bleach.
15. Once the sensor's nA reading reaches
approximately 300-360 nA, allow the sensor
to remain in the beaker, suspended over the
appropriate solution, for an additional 20 minutes.
• If sensor does not recover, cover the
beaker to avoid air contamination.
• Contact the factory for assistance
(www.gfps.com)
16. After 20 minutes, remove the sensor from the
beaker and install it into the fl ow cell and restore fl ow to the system.
17. Calibrate the sensor after the system has become
stable.

Electrode Date Code
• The electrode date code indicates the
manufacturing date of the electrode.
• Electrodes should be put into service as soon
as possible and should not remain in the box
for more than two years.
• Over time, the storage solution (found in
the "boot" covering the electrode tip) will
evaporate or leak, allowing the delicate
sensing tip and reference junction to dry.
• To rehydrate a dry electrode, soak the tip
in 3.0 mol/L KCl solution for 24 to 48 hours.
Preheating the KCl solution to <140 °F may
speed up the re-hydration process.
• Electrodes more than 2 years old may still be
functional, but will take longer to rehydrate.
• Restoration may not be effective for severely
dehydrated electrodes.

Electrode Care
Depending on the type of application and the accuracy needed, pH and ORP electrodes will require routine maintenance.
Contaminated/dirty electrodes should be swapped with properly cleaned conditioned and calibrated electrodes.
The solution used to clean an electrode varies depending on the type of coating:
Caution: Always wear appropriate safety gear and exercise proper safety practices when working with or near chemicals
• General Cleaning – Soak the electrode for 5 minutes in a mixture of warm tap water (< 140° F), and mild detergent such as
liquid dish detergent. A soft brush, like a toothbrush may also be used to clean off particulates.
• Biofi lm and bacterial growth – Soak the electrode in a diluted household laundry bleach solution (pH electrodes only), 1part
bleach to 10 parts water for 10 minutes.
• Alkaline or Scale – Lime/calcium and mineral buildup deposits may be removed by soaking the electrode in a solution of
2% to 5% hydrochloric acid (HCl) or vinegar for no more than 5 minutes.
• Acidic contaminants – May be removed by soaking the electrode in a weak caustic (less than 2% to 5% NaOH) for a few
minutes only. Use the least harsh chemical which will remove the contaminant within 2-5 minutes of soaking without attacking
the materials of construction.
• Oily or organic coatings – Soak the probe for 5 to 10 minutes in a solution of warm tap water < 140° F, and dish detergent.
Alternatively, use an appropriate solvent (isopropyl alcohol or similar) that will not attack the materials of construction.
If required gently clean junction and/or glass with a very soft tooth brush, and follow up with brief soaking (2-5 minutes) in
2% to 5% NaOH (sodium hydroxide). In the case of pH (not ORP) a diffi cult organic fouling can be treated with household
bleach (4-6%) as a substitute for the dish detergent.
• ORP Platinum Coating – Gently wipe the electrode surface with a soft lint-free paper towel. If the various forms of chemical
cleaning are not suffi cient to achieve an accurate measurement and response time, a last resort would be to polish the platinum
surface with a 0.3-1.0 micron alumina polishing slurry to remove any stubborn coatings.
• After cleaning, rinse pH/ORP electrode in distilled or tap water, then re-examine the electrode for damage that may have been
hidden from view. Sensor may not initially behave properly; and have a temporary offset due to the cleaning chemistry.
Proper conditioning is always recommended.
Electrode Conditioning
Soak sensor tip (pH or ORP) in 3 mol/L KCl (potassium chloride), for at least 45 minutes to regenerate/condition.
The more aggressive the cleaning, the longer the soak in potassium chloride.
Failure to soak the electrode will cause the electrode to drift for a time after the cleaning procedure, and could adversely affect the
calibration process/results.
If the cleaning and conditioning yield results within operational tolerance, the pH/ORP sensor is once again suitable for use.
However, if the results do not bring the readings of the pH/ORP sensor within tolerance, it is time to replace the sensor.

pH System Calibration
There are two functions in a pH electrode that require the system to be calibrated:
Temperature Calibration
The temperature output of the electrode (measured by a 3K Balco or Pt1000 RTD) must be calibrated only once.
When a new electrode is installed, it does not need to be repeated.
Because the temperature measurement has a signifi cant infl uence on the electrochemical measurement, the temperature output in
new pH electrodes should always be calibrated before the pH/mV calibration.
NOTE: All GF transmitters and controllers incorporate automatic temperature compensation.
As the pH value moves away from neutral (7 pH) or the temperature moves away from 25 ºC, the electrochemical output is affected.
• * Example: At pH 5 the mV output of the electrode is not affected if the temperature is at 25 °C.
• ** The electrode output will be shifted by 0.06 pH units if the temperature is reduced to 15 °C.
55
Offset and Slope Calibration
The pH electrode calibration is an important function that must be done routinely to standardize the electrode due to its ever-changing
characteristics. The electrode contains a gel that depleates over time, so the instrument must be readjusted periodically to maintain
system accuracy. There are many infl uences, including aging, temperature, coatings and chemicals used that will affect the probe
characteristics. After cleaning and conditioning, GF pH electrodes may be calibrated in two pH buffer solutions of different pH values
(a two point calibration).

0.450.360.270.180.0900.090.180.270.360.45
The pH electrode is calibrated by placing it in a buffer solution of known pH and measuring the cell
potential. This is a linear function of pH in the range of pH 2-11, therefore two calibration points
are needed. Most common calibration buffers are pH 4.01 and pH 7.00 (@ 25 °C). If the pH
measurements are made in an acid to neutral range, we recommend using buffer pH 4.01 and
buffer pH 7.00 for calibration. If an alkaline sample is measured, we recommend using buffer 7.00
and buffer 10.01 for calibration.
The response of the glass electrode is characterized by two parameters, offset and slope. The
theoretical output of a pH electrode at pH 7 is 0 mV. The offset, or zero pH is the deviation of the pH
from the nominal value. In the GF transmitters, the offset calibration is performed under STANDARD.
The glass electrode slope is the mV developed per each pH unit (mV/pH). At 25 °C, the theoretical
slope is 59.16 mV/pH. So, at pH 4.01, +177 mV will be generated, while at pH 10.01 (with a lower H+
concentration), a potential of -177 mV will be generated, (see Table 2). A new electrode however, will
generate 0 15 mV in pH 7.00 and will have a slope effi ciency between 93.2 and 103%.
In the GF transmitters, manual slope calibration is performed under SLOPE.

How to calculate a pH electrode slope effi ciency
Two pH buffers are selected to check the pH probe performance, pH 4.01 and pH 7.00. The ratio of the measured potentials (E2-E1) to
the difference of pH (7.00 – 4.01) gives the slope of the straight line.
1. Read the mV potential generated by the electrode in two calibration buffers
2. Determine the slope (the mV potential generated per pH unit)
3. Divide this number by the theoretical slope, 59.16 mV/pH @ 25 °C and multiply by 100.
Example 1
pH electrode generates -12 mV in pH 7.00 buffer
and +162 mV in pH 4.01 buffer.
In Example 2, slope effi ciency of 90.1% is acceptable but the offset of -45 mV is not. An offset shift can be the result of the reference
electrode being contaminated or poisoned. A slope shift can be the result of the glass being etched or coated with a hard build-up.
As the electrode ages, the slope decreases gradually, generally a slope between 85% and 105% is acceptable. If the offset value
(pH 7.00) is > +/- 45 mV, electrode should be replaced. When a great accuracy is required from the electrode, the offset and the slope
values need to be as close as possible to the theoretical values.
Refer to the Calibration Procedure section of the instrument manual for a 2 point pH calibration. If the sensor is used in a 4 to 20 mA
‘blind application’ refer to the Calibration section of the 2751 Smart Sensor Electronics for a 2-point EasyCal pH calibration.
Example 2
pH electrode generates -45 mV in pH 7.00 buffer
and +115 mV in pH 4.01 buffer.
Proper handling, storage and use of buffers is very important on the pH measurement accuracy. If the buffers are contaminated or
used improperly, the calibration will be inaccurate and all subsequent measurements will be wrong.
• When calibrating pH electrodes, always use pH buffers in the range of your sample.
• To achieve an accurate calibration make sure the electrode and the buffer are at the same temperature.
• Buffers have limited shelf life. Do not use a buffer if the expiration date has passed.
• Never return used buffers to the buffer bottle. Discard it.
• Do not leave the buffer bottle open (exposed to air).
The atmospheric carbon dioxide lowers the pH of the alkaline buffers (10.01 pH).
• To avoid contamination, rinse the electrode with distilled or tap water before placing it in the buffer. If necessary, the electrode
might be blotted dry using a lint-free paper towel (e.g. Kimwipes) to remove excess water. Be extra careful not to touch or rub
the surface of the glass. The wiping of the glass can produce a static charge that will interfere with the voltage reading of the
electrode. In addition to this, the hydration gel layer is interrupted.
• Store buffers at room temperature.
• GF offers the following pH buffer solutions, pH 4.01, pH 7.00 and pH 10.01.
• Make fresh buffer solutions just before using.
• Dispose of all calibration solutions in accordance with local guidelines and regulations.
Electrode Storage
Proper electrode storage maximizes electrode performance and extends electrode life.
Prior to storage - add 3 mol/L KCl to the electrode storage cap (about half full), and carefully secure the cap onto the electrode tip.
• Store boxed electrodes wet, fl at or upright (electrode tip down) to maximize hydration of the glass surface.
• Store electrodes in stable temperature environment, avoiding freezing conditions (below 0 °C (<33° F) and heat above 100° F).
• Never store the electrode in deionized (DI) water. Use 3 mol/L KCl solution to keep the glass wet when out of the process.
Short term storage (up to 24 hours) - soak the electrode tip in either pH 4.01 buffer or 3 mol/L KCl solution.
• Drying out of the pH sensitive glass and the junction must be avoided (or damage to the electrode will occur).
• Prior to electrode installation, make sure there’s a light fi lm of synthetic grease (such as silicone-free grease) applied to the upper
electrode O-ring. If the electrode will be installed into a GF Installation Fitting, then also apply a thin fi lm of synthetic grease to
the lower O-ring.
• Do not lubricate the bottom O-ring of the electrode if using the 4630 fl ow cell, see page 12.
Long term storage (longer than 24 hrs) - add 3 mol/L KCl solution to the storage cap (about half full) and carefully secure the cap onto
the electrode tip. This will ensure probes are always ready to use.

Maintenance
Sensor Removal
CAUTION: Over time, a sensor can get tight in the fl ow cell fi tting. When removing the sensor, avoid
hitting the sensor electronics on the bottom of the wiring enclosure if the sensor suddenly releases.
Take care not to damage the components.
While holding the fl ow cell, grasp the yellow electronics housing as a whole unit
and carefully pull upwards, gently rocking back and forth if necessary.
Once the sensor is loose, disengage the electronics, then remove the sensor.
TIP: A tool can be used to carefully pry the sensor electronics up and out if it is
diffi cult to remove.
Under certain conditions, a dirty fl ow cell and fi lter can create a chlorine demand
which could lower the chlorine concentration in the water fl owing past the
chlorine sensor. It is recommended to clean the fi lter and fl ow cell on a regular
basis. The frequency of necessary cleaning will depend on the application in
which the system is being used and the level of accuracy required.
Cleaning
Service the fl ow cell on a clean, dirt free surface
to avoid scratches or damage to the fl ow cell.
Figure 1
Step 1. Keep the system powered on.
Step 2. Disable the relays and any output loops.
Step 3. Turn off the water fl ow.
Step 4. Remove the sensors from the fl ow cell. NOTE: It is not
necessary to remove the electronics from the sensor.
Step 5. Install the vinyl caps on to the sensor tips or place the tips of
the removed sensors in a cup of sample water for temporary
storage while cleaning the fl ow cell.
Keep the sensor tips wet and the sensors energized.
Step 6. Remove the fl ow cell from the panel by removing the
knurled nuts (Figure 1).
Step 7. Remove the remaining hardware from the fl ow cell.
(Figure 2).
NOTE: It is recommended that an anti-seizing compound appropriate for the
application be used during the reassembling of the fl ow cell.
• Wash the surfaces with plain or soapy water only.
• Use gentle, liquid dishwashing soap if necessary.
• DO NOT USE commercial glass cleaning fl uids.
• Use a soft, lint-free cloth.
