General Information

2.2 General Sensor Information

Optional equipment, such as mounting hardware for the probe, is supplied with
instructions for all user installation tasks. Several mounting options are availa b le, allowing
the probe to be adapted for use in many different applications.

2.2.1 Sensor Body Styles

Combination pH and ORP sensors are available in three body styles:

• Convertible Body Style (Figure 1 and Figure 2)— has ¾-in. NPT threads at both
ends of the body for mounting in any of the following configurations:

• into a standard ¾-in. NPT pipe tee

• onto the end of a pipe for immersion into a vessel

• Insertion Body Style (Figure 3)— for mounting into the pipe adapter of a ball valve

hardware assembly. This hardware enab les the sen sor to be inserted into or retracted
from the process without stopping the process flow.

• Sanitary Body Style (Figure 4)— features a built-in 2-in. flange for mounting into a
2-in. sanitary tee. Included with the sanitary-style sensor is a special cap and EDPM
compound gasket for use with the sanitary hardware.

2.3 The Digital Gateway

The digital gatewa y was de v eloped to pro vide a means to use e xisting analog sensors with
the new digital controllers . The gate w a y contains all the necessary software and hardw are
to interface with the controller and output a digital signal.

2.4 Operating Precaution

Before placing the pH or ORP sensor into operation, remove the protective cap to expose
the process electrode and reference junction. Save the protective cap for future use.

For short-term storage (when sensor is out of the process for more than one hour), fill the
protective cap with pH 4 buffer or DI water and place the cap back on the sensor. K ee ping
the process electrode and reference junction moist will avoid slow response when the
sensor is placed back in operation.

49.1 mm (1.96 inches)

22 mm (0.87 inches)

88.9 mm (3.5 inches)

For extended storage, repeat the short-term storage procedure every 2 to 4 weeks,
depending on the surrounding environmental conditions.

CAUTION
If the pH process electrode breaks, handle the sensor very carefully to
prevent injury.

The process electrode at the pH sensor tip has a glass bulb, which can break. Do not
subject this electrode to abrupt impact or other mechanical abuse.

The gold or platinum process electrode at the ORP sensor tip has a glass shank (hidden
by the salt bridge) which can break. Do not subject this electrode to impact or other
mechanical abuse.

6.2 Cleaning the Sensor

CAUTION
Before cleaning with acid, determine if the chemical reaction between the acid and
the sample will create a hazardous chemical reaction. (For example, do not put a
sensor that is used in a cyanide bath directly into a strong acid for cleaning
because this chemical combination may produce poisonous cyanide gas.)

DANGER
Acids are hazardous. Always wear appropriate eye protection and clothing in
accordance with material safety data sheet recommendations.

1. Clean the exterior of the sensor with a stream of water. If debris remains remove loose contaminate buildup by carefully wiping the entire measuring end of the sensor with a soft clean cloth. Rinse the sensor with clean, warm water.

2. Prepare a mild soap solution of warm water and dish de terg en t o r oth er no n-abrasive soap that does not contain lanolin.

Note: Lanolin will coat the glass process electrode and can adversely affect sensor performance.

3. Soak the sensor for 2 to 3 minutes in the soap solution.

4. Use a small soft-bristle brush and scrub the entire measuring end of the sensor,

thoroughly cleaning the electrode and re ference junction surfaces. If surf ace de posits
cannot be removed by detergent solution cleaning, use muriatic acid (or other dilute
acid) to dissolve them. The acid should be as dilute as possible, do not use stronger
than 3% HCL. Experience will determine whic h acid to use and the appropriate
dilution ratio. Some stubborn coatings may require a different cleaning agent. For
assistance, contact Technical and Customer Service (U.S.A. only) on page 39.

5. Soak the entire measuring end of the sensor in dilute acid fo r no more than 5 minutes . Rinse the sensor with clean, warm water then place the sensor back into the mild soap solution for 2 to 3 minu tes to neutralize any remaining acid.

6. Remove the sensor from the soap solutio n, and rinse the senso r again in clean, warm water.

7. After cleaning, always calibrate the measurement system. Refer to section 4.7 on

page 25 or section 4.8 on page 29.

Appendix B General pH Information

B.1 pH Measurement Theory

pH is the negative logarithm of the hydrogen ion activity and a measure of the acidity or
alkalinity of a solution.

pH = –log A[H+]

pH is normally measured using a glass electrode and a reference electrode.
The glass electrode acts as a transducer, converting chemical energy (the hydrogen ion

activity) into an electrical energy (measured in millivolts). The reaction is balanced and the
electrical circuit is completed by the flow of ions from the reference solution to the solution
under test.

The electrode and reference solution together develop a voltage (emf) whose magnitude
depends on the type of reference electrode, the internal construction of the glass
electrode, the pH of the solution and the temperature of the solution. This voltage is
expressed by the Nernst Equation:

E = Eo – (2.3 RT/F) x log A[H+]

– (slope) x log A[H+]

E = E

o

where:

E = the emf of the cell
E

= the zero potential (isopotential) of the system. It depends on the internal

o

construction of the glass and reference electrodes.
R = gas constant
T = temperature in Kelvin
A[H+] = activity of the hy dr ogen ion (a ssumed to be eq uivalent to the concentration of

hydrogen ions)
F = Faraday constant

For every unit change in pH (or decade change in ion concentration) the emf of the
electrode pair changes by 59.1 6 m V at 2 5 °C. This value is known as the Nernstian Slope
of the electrode.

The pH electrode pair is calibrated using solutions of know n and constant hydrogen ion
concentration, called buffer solutions. The buffer solutions are used to calibrate both the
electrode isopotential and slope.

General pH Information

B.2 PID Controller Basics

A pH control loop operates as follows: The pH meter measures the value of the pH in the
effluent, and, if the pH is different from the setpoint, the controller actuates the reagent
pump (or valv e) that adds reagent to a mixing tank. The added reagent adjusts the pH
value of the process.

The physical layout of the loop, the sizing of the pump (valve), type of mixing tank, and
location of the pH electrodes all have a major impact on the ultimate performance of the
loop, after the controller is tu ned for optimal performance. The largest single performance
factor is the delay time around the loop. This includes the response time of the
electrode/meter, time required to deliver the reagent to the process water, time required
for the reagent to mix with and react with the process water, and the time re quired to
deliver the completely mixed water to the electrode. If the delay times are too long or the
mixing is not complete, the control will be poor regardless of how well the controller is
tuned.

The Process pH Meter uses a PID (proportional, integral (reset), deriv ative (rate) control)
control algorithm. Each of the instrument settings along with their effects on the control
loop, are described below.

Mode

Manual: The manual output is specified in percent of full-scale PID output
(4–20 mA) and is commonly used for testing the output device.

Auto: Allows the process to be controlled automatic ally us ing information specified in the
Phase, Setpoint, Proportional Band, Integral, and Derivative menus as follows:

Phase

Direct: The control output action will cause the process value to increase.
Reverse: The control output action will cause the process value to decrease.

Setpoint

The setpoint is defined as the desired process value in pH

Proportional Band

The proportional band is the range in pH from the setpoint value where the controller
provides proportional control. For example, the desired setpoint for the process is pH 7.0
and the process requires that a reagent must be added to the process w a ter to bring it up
to pH 7.0. If the proportional band is set to pH 1.0, the controller will provide proportional
output control over the range of pH 6.0 to 8.0. When the process is at pH 6.0, the
controller will provide a 100% control output level (assuming that Phase is set to Direct).
When the process is at pH 7.0, the proportional control will provide a 0% control output
level. When the process is at pH 6.5 the proportional control will provide a 50% output.
The output action is equal to the difference between the setpoint and the process value,
divided by the proportional band value.

General pH Information

Integral

The integral value is used to reduce the steady state err or , bet ween the proce ss v alue and
the setpoint, to zero. For example, assume a process can be manually controlled at a level
of pH 8.0 by sending a 35% control output level to a reagent pump. Now, say that the
system is set up for the controller to provide proportional only control, with the controller
setpoint set to pH 8.0 and the proportional band set to pH 1.0. Note that the nearer the
process gets to the pH 8.0 setpoint, the lower the control output level is. In fact, when the
process is at pH 8.0, the output level will be 0%. Since the process requires that the pump
be operated at 35% for the process to reach pH 8.0, its apparent that proportional-only
control will never quite reach the desired setpoint of pH 8.0. This is where the integral
control comes in.

Integral control can be thought of as adding up the output action from the proportional
control over time. For e xample, the proportional control output reaches a steady state level
of 5%. If the integral time is set to five minutes, the integral action of the controller will add
an additional 5% to the controller output level over a 5-minute interval. The integral action
is additive, so for every 5-minute interval an additional 5% is added to the controller's
output level. This will allow the controller to bring the process to the desired setpoint level.
Note that the longer the integral time setting, the longer it takes for the integral action to
affect the process. The integral control action is disabled by setting it to zero. Note that the
integral time is in minutes.

Derivative

Derivative control is used to adjust the control output level based upon the rate at which
the process value is approaching or passing the setpoint. De rivative control action would
be used in cases where the process value can r apidly ramp up and o versho ot the setpoint.
The derivative setting is in minutes. The output action of the derivative control is equal to
the rate of change of the pro cess (in pH units per m inute) times t he derivativ e time , divided
by the proportional band, times negative one . For example, if the process pH is changing
at a rate of pH 0.20 per minute, the derivative time is set to 3.0 minutes, the proportional
band is set to pH 0.80, and the action is “direct” the derivative control output action will be
approximately equal to: (–0.20 pH/minute X 3.0 minute) /0.80 pH = –75%.

During calibration, the analog outputs can remain active, be held, or be transferred to a
preset mA value.
