According to Directive 94/9/EC (ATEX 95) Appendix I, the pH ISM
sensor plug-in heads in the pH ISM Qualification Kit are devices of
equipment group II; category 1/2G which, according to Directive
99/92/EC (ATEX 137) can be used in zones 0/1 or 1/2 or 1 or 2 as
well as gas groups IIA, IIB and IIC which are potentially explosive
due to combustible substances in temperature classes T3 to T6.
The requirements specified in EN 60079-14 must be observed during use / installation.
The pH ISM sensor plug-in head is connected to and operated by a
two-wire cable to the certified transmitter.
The intrinsically safe circuits are galvanically isolated from the
non-intrinsically safe circuits up to a norminal voltage peak value of
375 V and from the earthed parts up to a norminal voltage peak value of 30 V.
1.2.2 Rated data
Digital pH ISM sensor plug-in head:
Type of protection: rated intrinsically safe to Ex ia IIC
Temperature measuring circuit and data chip circuit:
Only to be connected to a certified and intrinsically safe power circuit.
Maximum values:
≤ 16 V, Ii≤ 30 mA, Pi≤ 50 mW
U
i
Li= negligible
Ci= negligible
In each case, the above values shall represent the sum of the individual circuits in the intrinsically safe power supply and evaluation
device concerned (transmitter).
The pH ISM Qualification Kit is a set of 5 different sensor plug-in
heads and allows the simulation of reading values of pH ISM sensors with predefined values and errors (not changeable by the user)
to assure safe use as qualification tool.
Each sensor plug-in head corresponds to one of METTLER TOLEDO’s
pH ISM sensors and delivers the complete data of an ISM sensor.
The pH ISM Qualification Kit has basically 2 functions:
– Tool for the qualification of measuring systems.
– Service tool for quick checks and loop trouble-shooting.
The data indicated (primary/ secondary) and transmitted are as follow:
– Main measured value
– Temperature
– Error message according to indication.
All standard process and wear data of the sensor are also available
in each plug-in head and are also sent to the transmitter or the PLC
as well as to the iSense software.
To qualify your measuring systems proceed as follows:
Please refer to the transmitter instruction manual for the exact de-
scription of the transmitter operation.
Step 1: Disconnect the ISM sensor from the measuring point.
Step 2: Connect one of the pH ISM Qualification Kit plug-in heads
to the transmitter via the standard connecting cable.
Step 3: The preregistered values then are displayed on the trans-
mitter.
Step 4: Check if the displayed values by the transmitter or the PLC
correspond to the predefined fixed values of the pH ISM
Qualification Kit plug-in head.
See certification for exact values and tolerances.
Step 5: In case you are using the Error simulators, check that the
appropriate errors are correctly displayed by the transmitter
or the PLC.
Step 6: Report results into the attached spreadsheet “Protocol for pH
ISM Qualification Kit”.
Problem solving: If any of the tests described above failed, you
should change the connecting cable and repeat the test. If the test
still shows the same result, the transmitter or the cable is defective.
If you are using a transmitter with current outputs, so ensure the outputs are correctly wired.
You must never do a calibration (the simulators are read-only).
You must never increment autoclave cycles (always set “NO” to cy-
cle counter), this is only needed if autoclave has been set to a value
higher than 0.
