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 ¼ 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.

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:
Output triggers when process variable is less than the setpoint.
The output will relax when the process moves above the setpoint
plus the hysteresis value.
• High:
Output triggers when process variable is greater than the
setpoint. The output will relax when the process moves below the
setpoint plus the hysteresis value.
• Proportional Pulsing
The output will generate a 100 mS pulse at the rate defi ned by
settings in the CALIBRATE menu (see page 6)
In the example below:
• The output will be 0 pulses/min. at pH values less than 5.0.
• The output will be 50 pulses/min. at 7.5 pH.
• The output will be 100 pulses/min. at pH values above 10 pH.
VIEW menu
• During normal operation, the transmitter displays the VIEW menu.
• When using the CALIBRATE or OPTIONS menus, the transmitter will return to the VIEW menu if no
activity occurs for 10 minutes.
• To select the item you want displayed, press the UP or DOWN arrow keys. The items will scroll in a
continuous loop. Changing the display selection does not interrupt system operations.
• No key code is necessary to change display selection.
• Output settings cannot be edited from the VIEW menu.
