pH electrode 53 34 T
Introduction
The 53 34 T is a pH electrode with built-in
Pt 1000 A.T.C.
Low maintenance electrode, as it does not
require monitoring of electrolyte levels.
SAFETY NOTE
Before use with hazardous substances, find out about the relevant hazards, protective measures, and what
to do in an emergency.
Electrode preparation
• Remove the storage protector
• Verify that there are not air bubbles inside
the membrane
by shaking the electrode as a clinical thermometer.
Installation
In immersion, insertion, flotation housings, etc. with PG 13,5 thread.
See Housing instruction manual.
In some cases the electrode is installed,
with the help of sockets and adapters,
directly onto pipes.
Cable. They are connected to coaxial cables with an MP-4 connector.
Calibration
See pH-meter instruction manual.
Measurements. Recommendations
See pH-meter instruction manual.
Ensure that the electrode’s specifications are
adapted to the process.
Sample must cover the diaphragm
Maintenance
• Deposits forming on the electrodes,
caused by continual exposure of the sensors to a dirty or contaminated medium, is
one of the most frequent causes of problems when measuring pH. When possible
it’s recommended to use a housing with
automatic sensor cleaning system.
• When an electrode gets contaminated,
the simple rinsing with distilled water is
not suffi cient. The most suitable cleaning
solution is one which acts in a more selective way over the contamination (look for
regeneration solutions).
• Re-hydration. A “dry” electrode recovers
by immersing it in diluted HCl solution for
several hours. It is recommended to read
the information supplied with the electrode’s regenerating solutions.
. They can be removed
.

Troubleshooting
... the meter always shows the same pH
value.
Short circuit in the electrode or cable.
Substitute the cable or the electrode.
... shifting of pH values.
Reference system contamination.
Replace the electrode
... unstable reading.
Diaphragm blockage.
Clean, regenerate, replace the electrode.

GB
... impossible to perform calibration.
... very slow response.
Dirt on the diaphragm or the membrane.
De-hydrated membrane.
Electrode ageing or wear.
Clean, regenerate, replace the electrode.
Storage
Place the electrode in the storage protector
with KCl 3M.
Life of an electrode
The average life expectancy of a pH process
electrode oscillates between 6 or 12 months,
depending on the working conditions.
Electrodes exposed to high temperatures do
not last as long. Very alkaline mediums also
reduces the life span of electrodes.
If an electrode has too short life span,
less than three months, ask us about it.
Probably there is a more suitable electrode for the application.
