Signet 2818-2823 Conductivity/Resistivity Electrodes are designed to provide
versatile installation and accurate sensing across a very broad dynamic range.
These electrodes are built with a controlled surface fi nish to ensure accuracy and
repeatability. The standard electrode is constructed 316 SS or Titanium, but there are
other materials available for maximum chemical compatibility. Reversible threads or
sanitary fl anges allow for maximum installation versatility.
Sanitary fl ange versions are available with an optional NIST Traceability Certifi cate
to meet USP requirements. Coupled with Signet patented measuring circuitry,
a three decade measurement range is achieved without the need for troublesome
electrode platinization. A platinum RTD (PT1000)
optimal temperature sensing.

Refer to your local Georg Fischer Sales offi ce for the most
current warranty statement.
All warranty and non-warranty repairs being returned must
include a fully completed Service Form and goods must be
returned to your local GF Sales offi ce or distributor.
Product returned without a Service Form may not be
warranty replaced or repaired.
Signet products with limited shelf-life (e.g. pH, ORP, chlorine
electrodes, calibration solutions; e.g. pH buffers, turbidity
standards or other solutions) are warranted out of box but not
warranted against any damage, due to process or application
failures (e.g. high temperature,
mishandling (e.g. broken glass,
chemical poisoning, dry-out) or
damaged membrane, freezing
and/or extreme temperatures).

*Installation tip: Mark the sensor body to indicate the position of the vent hole. During installation,
align the vent hole mark so it faces upward or against the process fl ow to prevent air bubble entrapment.
2823 Submersible Installation
• Attach ¾ in. watertight pipe to the top of the sensor.
• Secure the threaded connection to prevent any leakage.
• For additional defense against possible accumulation of
condensation at the back seal area of the sensor, fi ll the lower
75 mm to 100 mm (3 in. to 4 in.) of conduit or extension pipe with
a fl exible sealant such as silicone.
