Installation
PHTX-271 series transmitters are available in two styles: panel mount and fi eld mount. The panel mount is supplied with the
necessary hardware to install the transmitter. This manual includes complete panel mounting instructions.
Field mounting requires a separate mounting kit. The FP90-UM Universal kit enables the transmitter to be installed virtually
anywhere. Detailed instructions for fi eld installation options are included with the FP90-UM Universal kit.
Panel Installation
1. The panel mount transmitter is designed for installation using a 1/4 DIN Punch. For manual panel cutout, an adhesive template
is provided as an installation guide. Recommended clearance on all sides between instruments is 1 inch.
2. Place gasket on instrument, and install in panel.
3. Slide mounting bracket over back of instrument until quick-clips snap into latches on side of instrument.
4. To remove, secure instrument temporarily with tape from front or grip from rear of instrument. DO NOT RELEASE.
Press quick-clips outward and remove.

Connecting this terminal to Earth GD
may reduce electrical interference
Caution: Failure to fully open terminal jaws before
removing wire may permanently damage instrument.
Wiring Procedure
1. Remove 0.5 - 0.625 in. (13-16 mm) of insulation from wire
end.
2. Press the orange terminal lever downward with a small
screwdriver to open terminal jaws.
3. Insert exposed (non-insulated) wire end in terminal hole
until it bottoms out.
4. Release orange terminal lever to secure wire in place.
Gently pull on each wire to ensure a good connection.
Wiring Removal Procedure
1. Press the orange terminal lever downward with a small
screwdriver to open terminal jaws.
2. When fully open, remove wire from terminal.
Sensor Input Connections
Wiring Tips:
• Do not route sensor cable in conduit containing AC power
wiring. Electrical noise may interfere with sensor signal.
• Routing sensor cable in grounded metal conduit will help
prevent electrical noise and mechanical damage.
• Seal cable entry points to prevent moisture damage.
• Only one wire should be inserted into a terminal. Splice
double wires outside the terminal.
• The maximum cable length from sensor to the pH transmitter
is 400 ft. (122 m).

The Open Collector and relay outputs can be used as a switch
that responds when the process value moves above or below a
setpoint, or they can be used to generate a pulsing signal with a
rate proportional to the process value.
• Low:
Relay is on when process variable is less than the setpoint. The
relay turns off when the process moves above the setpoint plus
the hysteresis value.
• High:
Relay is on when process variable is greater than the setpoint.
The relay turns off when the process moves below the setpoint
plus the hysteresis value.

In the example below:
• The output will be 0 pulses/min. at pH values less than 5.0.

Provides a maximum 25ºC offset to match temperature measurement to external reference.
Applies a linear offset to the pH measurement. If you are using a single-point calibration, use this function.
The ideal value is the average pH of your application. (A sample of your application at process temperature
is recommended.)
Applies a slope to the pH measurement. This function should only be used in a two-point calibration. The
slope value and the standard value must be at least 2 pH units apart.
The ideal values are the minimum and maximum values of your process.
Select the minimum and maximum values for the 4-20 mA Current loop output.
Select pH or Temperature as the source for the Open Collector Output.
Select the mode of operation for the Open Collector output: High, Low or proportional Pulse.
The signal may be disabled if not in use.
In Low or High Mode, the Open Collector output will turn on when the pH reaches this value.
In Low or High mode, the Open Collector output will turn off at Setpoint ± Hysteresis, depending on High or
Low Setpoint selection. (See details on page 4.)
In Pulse mode, set the pH values for zero and for maximum pulse rate.
In Pulse mode, set the maximum pulse rate, up to 400 pulses per minute.

Applies a slope to the ORP measurement. The ORP SLOPE is used for two-point calibration along with the
ORP STANDARD. If you applied the min value of your process to the ORP STANDARD, then apply the max

Applies a linear offset to the ORP measurement. If you are using a single-point calibration, use this function.
The ideal value is the average pH of your application. (A sample of your application at process temperature
is recommended.)
Applies a slope to the ORP measurement. The ORP SLOPE is used for two-point calibration along with the
ORP STANDARD. If you applied the min value of your process to the ORP STANDARD, then apply the max
value to the ORP SLOPE. Else, apply the min value to the ORP SLOPE. The slope value and the standard
value must be at least 30 mV apart.
Select the minimum and maximum ORP values for the 4-20 mA Current loop output. Maximum settings are
-1000 mV to +2000 mV.
Select the desired mode of operation for the Open Collector output: High, Low or proportional Pulse. The
signal may also be disabled if not in use.
In Low or High Mode, the Open Collector output will be deactivated when the ORP reaches this value.
In Low or High mode, the Open Collector output will be deactivated at Setpoint ± Hysteresis, depending on
High or Low Setpoint selection. (See details on page 4.)
In Pulse mode, set the ORP values for zero and for maximum pulse rate.
In Pulse mode, set the maximum pulse rate, up to 400 pulses per minute.
Use this “note pad” to record important dates, such as annual recertifi cation or scheduled maintenance.

EASY CAL Procedure - pH
• This procedure simplifi es system calibration using standard 4.0, 7.0, 10.0 pH buffers. If these pH buffer values are not available,
calibrate the system via the CALIBRATE menu, using the STANDARD and SLOPE settings.
• Access the CALIBRATE menu and set sensor temperature before performing EASY CAL for new electrode installations.
• Access EASY CAL menu from the View menu.

For best results, gently stir
the submerged electrode for

the stabilization period.
Large temperature differences
from process fl uids to buffers may
require longer stabilization time.
• This procedure simplifi es system calibration. Requires a prepared quinhydrone solution: Saturate 50 mL of pH 4.0 and 7.0
buffers with 1/8 g quinhydrone. To calibrate using any other ORP buffer solutions, use the Standard and Slope functions in the
CALIBRATE menu.
• Access EASY CAL menu from the View menu.
