2 General
2.1Preface
Please read this operating manual before placing the device in operation.
Keep the operating manual in a place which is accessible to all users at all
times.
Danger:
Sudden failure of the sensor may result in dangerous overdosing of chlorine
dioxide or ozone. Suitable preventive measures must be in place as needed to
prevent this from happening.
Check the plant for odor of chlorine dioxide or ozone and check water for any
unusual discoloration.
2.2Scope of application
These membrane-covered, amperometric sensors are used to measure the
concentration of chlorine dioxide and ozone (for example in drinking and
swimming water, industrial, process and cooling water).
The sensor for chlorine dioxide can be used to measure chlorine dioxide from
chlorite / chlorine and chlorite / hydrochloric acid plants.
The sensor for ozone can be used for example to measure electrolytically
generated ozone.
The sensors are not suitable for detecting the absence of chlorine dioxide and
ozone.
The integrated electronics of the sensors provides a temperaturecompensated current signal of 4 to 20mA. A downstream device (indicator,
controller, recorder, PLC, etc.) is used for calibration.
2.3Output signal
Since the measurement signal of amperometric sensors is temperaturedependent, an integrated NTC resistor is provided for automatic temperature
compensation. The recommended temperature ranges are as follow
- For sensors of types 202634/45 and 202634/50): +5 to +45 °C.
- For sensors of types 202634/46 and 202634/51): +5 to +50 °C.
The integrated electronics of the sensors provides a current signal of 4 to
20 mA.
A downstream device (indicator, controller, recorder, PLC, etc.) is used for
calibration.
The sensors can be connected directly to a suitable indicator and controller.
The JUMO AQUIS 500 AS indicator/controller (type sheet 202568) and the
JUMO dTRANS AS 02 indicator/controller (type sheet 202553) are especially
suitable for combining with these sensors. They provide the voltage required
for the power supply of the sensor and make for an easy way to calibrate the
measuring system.

4 Description
4.1Scope of delivery
Two-wire sensor with membrane cap, electrolyte and special abrasive paper
for cleaning the electrode finger.
4.2Sensor for chlorine dioxide - type 202634/45
This sensor features a membrane-covered, amperometric 2-electrode
measuring system.
The membrane of this sensor is made of hydrophobic, microporous PTFE
material. These sensors should only be used in water with drinking or
swimming pool quality. The water should not under any circumstances contain
surfactants (many cleaning agents and disinfectants contain surfactants).
Surfactants will eliminate the hydrophobic properties of the membrane. Then
proper functioning can no longer be guaranteed.
The membrane cap that seals off the electrode space is filled with an aqueous
electrolyte containing alkali halides.
The working electrode (cathode) is made of gold (Au). The anode, which
performs the function of a combined reference electrode and counter
electrode, is made of silver (Ag) fitted with a coating of silver halide (AgHal).
The sensor for chlorine dioxide can be used to measure chlorine dioxide from
chlorite/chlorine and chlorite/hydrochloric acid plants.

5.1Notes
5 Mounting
Attention:
- The measurement is only possible with a suitable flow-through fitting (for
example a flow-through fitting for sensors according to type sheets 202630,
202631, 202634, 202636, part no. 00392611, see type sheet 202634).
- The sensor should be operated unpressurized if possible with free
discharge of the process medium. If that is not possible, the sensor can
also be operated at a constant pressure of up to 1 bar (p
Pressure fluctuations must be prevented!
- Air bubbles upstream from the membrane can distort the measurement
signal.
- Both the transmitter and the sensor connected to it must remain
continuously in operation even if the system is only operated at intervals.
The supply voltage of the connected sensor must not be turned off!
- The sensor must not be left dry.

5.3Flow monitoring
5.3.1Minimum inflow
For proper operation, the incident flow of the process medium on the sensor
must be at least 15 cm/s. This corresponds to a minimum flow rate of 30 l/h in
the flow-through fitting.
Below this minimum incident flow velocity, the sensor will indicate values that
are too low. This could result in dangerous overdosing in a connected control
system.
Above this minimum incident flow velocity the measurement signal is only
slightly affected by the incident flow velocity.
The monitoring system consists of a flow fitting (2) part no.: 00396470 and the
flow monitor (1) (part no.: 00396471), See section 5.3.2 "Mounting", page 16.
The instrument can be used to monitor the minimum incident flow velocity of
15 cm/s.

9 Calibration
9.1General
Depending on requirements, the sensor should be checked and calibrated on
a regular basis at set time intervals. Recommendation: weekly or more
frequently depending on accuracy requirements.
Note:
The process for verification and calibration is as follows:
1. Take a sample of the medium in the immediate vicinity of the sensor.
2. Determine the concentration of the substance with a reference method.
3. Use the reference value that was determined to adjust the slope of the
indicator.
9.2Calibration with a indicator/control instrument
Reference method
Note:
Suitable reference methods for calibrating can be found for example in
standards
- Chlorine dioxide: DIN 38408-5
Initial condition
Procedure
- Ozone: DIN 38408-3
The DPD method of photometric determination is frequently used (DPD = N,Ndiethyl-1,4-phenylenediamine). Suitable testing systems are commercially
available. Providers include VWR International (previously Merck)
(Spectroquant), Macherey-Nagel (Nanocolor) etc.
- The display format and measurement range have been set; see the
operating manual of the indicator/control instrument in use.
- The sensor is installed in a suitable flow-through fitting, See section 5
"Mounting", page 13.
- The settling time of the sensor (2 hours) has elapsed and the measured
value is stable.
1. Take a water sample at the flow-through fitting outlet (or in the immediate
vicinity of it).
2. Determine the analyte concentration (chlorine dioxide or ozone) of the
sample with a suitable reference method.
3. Adjust the indicator to the reference value; see the operating manual of the
transmitter/controller you are using.

Check the saved slope
Many transmitters/controllers (for example JUMO AQUIS 500 AS) have a
"calibration log". Relevant data from each calibration is saved in the log.
Attention:
If the value for the slope falls below 40%, the membrane cap and electrolyte
must be replaced and the electrode tip must be cleaned, See section 8.1
"Cleaning the electrode finger tip / replacing the membrane cap and
electrolyte", page 27.
Setting the slope manually
See the operating manual for the transmitter/controller you are using.
Zero-point adjustment
A zero-point adjustment is not required for the sensors described in this
operating manual. If there is no analyte present in the process medium,
approximately zero is indicated. The zero point is independent of changes in
the flow rate, conductivity, temperature and pH value.
