DANGER
Hazardous Area InstallationN
This sensor is not Intrinsically Safe. or Explosion Proof. Installations near flammable liquids or in hazardous
area locations must be carefully evaluated by qualified on site safety personnel.
To secure and maintain an intrinsically safe installation, an appropriate transmitter/safety barrier/sensor
combi nation must be used. The installation system must be in accordance with the governing approval
agency (FM, CSA or BASEEFA/CENELEC) hazardous area classification requirements. Consult your transmitter instruc tion manual for details.
Proper installation, operation and servicing of this sensor in a Hazardous Area Instal lation is entirely the
responsibility of the user.
CAUTION
Sensor/Process Application Compatibility
The wetted sensor materials may not be compatible with process composition and operating
conditions. Application compatibility is entirely the responsibility of the user.
WARNING
Retractable sensors must not be inserted nor retracted when process pressures are in excess of 64 psig
(542kPa) for option 21 or 35 psig (343 kPa) for option 25.
CAUTION
Special Conditions for Safe Use
1. All pH/ORP sensors have a plastic enclosure which must only be cleaned with a damp cloth to avoid the
danger due to a build up of an electrostatic charge.
2. All pH/ORP sensor models are intended to be in contact with the process fluid and may not meet the
500V r.m.s. a.c. test to earth.
his must be taken into consideration at installation.

Section 1: Description and Specifications
1.1Features and Applications
Rosemount 396R and 396RVP Sensors are specifically designed for improved life in harsh, dirty
applications where a separate sample stream is difficult to provide and greater insertion depths
are required. These sensors are designed for use with a 1-1/4 in. or 1-1/2 in. ball valve for hot tap
installation. Sensors are constructed of molded polypropylene housed in a titanium tube with EPDM
seals to provide maximum chemical resistance. The sensors feature a shrouded tip for protection
from breakage while allowing process to flow by the glass electrode for accurate and reliable pH
and ORP measurements.
Figure 1-1: Cross Section Diagram of the TUpH Reference Technology
All TUpH sensors are designed with a large area reference junction, helical reference pathway, and an
AccuGlass pH glass bulb. This sensor technology ensures superior performance while only requiring
minimal maintenance.
Inspect the outside of the carton for any damage. If damage is detected, contact the carrier
immediately. Inspect the instrument and hardware. Make sure all items in the packing list are
resent and in good condition. Notify the factory if any part is missing.
p
Note: If the sensor is to be stored, the protective boot should be filled with either KCl electrolyte
solution or pH 4.0 buffer solution and replaced on sensor tip until ready to use.
Note: Save the original packing cartons and materials as most carriers require proof of damage due
to mishandling, etc. Also, if it is necessary to return the instrument to the factory, you must pack
the instrument in the same manner as it was received. Refer to Section 8.0 for instructions.
WARNING
Glass electrode must be wetted at all times (in storage and in line) to maximize sensor life.
2.3Mechanical Installation
The Rosemount 396R Sensor may be installed through a weldalet or in a pipe tee or “Y”, as shown
in Figure 2-1, when used with a ball valve. Insert the end of the sensor to a depth sufficient to ensure
that the glass bulb is continuously wetted by the process fluid. The Rosemount 396R can also be
inserted directly into the process without the use of a ball valve for appli cations not requiring
continuous operation during sensor maintenance.
CAUTION
Allow sufficient room for safe retraction and insertion of the sensor. Personnel should have room for stable
footing while performing removal or insertion of the sensor.
The sensor must be mounted within 10-90 degrees of the horizontal with the tip pointed
downward, thus keeping air bubbles off of the pH sensitive glass bulb. Bubbles settled on the glass
bulb disrupt the electrical continuity between the pH sensitive glass and the silver/ silver chloride
measuring element.
If the retraction version is to be installed without a ball valve follow the installation procedure for
insertion service (Section 2.3.2). Perform the following steps for sensor installation through a ball
valve:
2.3.1Installation Through Ball Valve
1.Carefully remove the liquid filled rubber boot which protects the glass electrode and keeps
the liquid junction wet during shipping and storage. Discard the liquid and boot. Make sure
the lubricated O-ring is in place in the groove inside the male connector on the sensor
body.
CAUTION
Buffer solution, in the protective boot, may cause skin or eye irritation.
2.With the male connector on the sensor’s body, insert the sensor into the ball valve until it
gently touches the closed valve. The molded electrode guard will protect the glass bulb
from breakage.

3.Thread the male connector body tightly into the ball valve assembly. DO NOT tighten the
hex nut on the male connector body; doing so would not allow the sensor to be inserted
through the ball valve.
4.Pull back hard on the sensor assembly, as if trying to remove the sensor, to be certain that
the sensor cannot come free of the ball valve assembly. The built-in retraction stop will
butt against the shoulder of the male connector if properly installed.
CAUTION
The sensor must be captured by the valve assembly and the male connector so that it cannot be blown free
by process pressure if mishandled during insertion or retraction.
5.After confirming that the sensor assembly is properly secured by the valve assembly, the
valve may be opened and the sensor positioned into the process at the desired
depth and orientation.
6.While holding the sensor in position, tighten the hex nut of the male connector to firmly
secure the sensor in place. When the hex nut is tightened, the Teflon ferrule inside the
compression fitting clamps the sensor tube.
CAUTION
Over tightening the hex nut may damage the ferrule.
NOTICE
A stainless steel ferrule is available if the Teflon ferrule does not inadequately grip. When using the metallic
ferrule, care must be taken to avoid over tightening and damaging the sensor tube. If the male connector
leaks during insertion or retraction, replace the O-ring in the male connector.
2.3.2Installation Without Ball Valve
The Rosemount 396R Sensor may be installed through a weldalet or pipe tee or “Y” when used with
a process connector (PN 23166-00 or 23166-01). The sensor should be installed within 80° of
vertical, with the electrode facing down.
