2.4Functional specifications
The sections below display the specifications for measuring different substances with the
Rosemount 5081.
2.4.1pH/ORP specifications
pH range0 to 14
ORP range-1400 to +1400 mV
Calibration/standardizationThe automatic buffer recognition uses stored buffer values and
their temperature curves for the most common buffer standards
available worldwide. The transmitter also performs a stabilization
check on the sensor in each buffer. To make a manual two-point
calibration, immerse the sensor in two different buffer solutions
and enter the pH values. The microprocessor automatically
calculates the slope which is used for self-diagnostics. The
transmitter displays an error message if the pH sensor is faulty.
The operator can read the slope on the display and/or manually
adjust it if desired. To complete an on-line, one-point
standardization process, enter the pH or ORP value of a grab
sample as measured by a lab reference.
Preamplifier locationUse a preamplifier to convert the high impedance pH electrode
signal to a low impedance signal for transmitter use. Use the
transmitter's integral preamplifier when the sensor to transmitter
distance is less than 15 ft. (4.5 m). Use a sensor with a built-in
preamplifier or a junction box if distance is longer than 15 ft. (4.5
m).

The Rosemount 5081 two-wire transmitter is intended for the determination of pH/ORP,
conductivity (both contacting and toroidal), and for measurements using membranecovered amperometric sensors (oxygen, ozone, and chlorine). For free chlorine
measurements, which often require continuous pH correction, a second input for a pH
sensor is available. Use a hand-held infrared remote controller to locally configure and
calibrate the transmitter.

3.1Unpack and inspect
To unpack the instrument:
Procedure
1. Inspect the shipping container(s). If there is damage, contact the shipper
immediately for instructions.
2. If there is no apparent damage, unpack the container(s).
3. Ensure that all items shown on the packing list are present.
If items are missing, contact your local Customer Care representative
4. Save the shipping container and packaging.
They can be used to return the instrument to the factory in case of damage.
3.2Installation guidelines
1. The transmitter tolerates harsh environments. For best results, install the
transmitter in an area where temperature extremes, vibrations, and
electromagnetic and radio frequency interference are minimized or absent.
2. To prevent unintentional exposure of the transmitter circuitry to the plant
environment, keep the security lock in place over the circuit end cap. To remove the
circuit end cap, loosen the lock nut until the tab disengages from the cap end and
then unscrew the cover.
3. The transmitter has two ¾-in. conduit openings, one on each side of the housing.
Run sensor cable through the left side opening (as viewed from the wiring terminal
end of the transmitter) and run power wiring through the right side opening.
4. Use water tight cable glands to keep moisture out of the transmitter.
5. If using conduit, plug and seal the connections at the transmitter housing to
prevent moisture from getting inside the transmitter.
CAUTION
Equipment damage
Moisture accumulating in the transmitter housing can affect the performance of
the transmitter and may void the warranty.
6. If the transmitter is installed some distance from the sensor, a remote junction box
with preamplifier in the junction box or in the sensor may be necessary. Consult the
sensor reference manual for maximum cable lengths.

Procedure
1. Run the power/signal wiring through the opening nearest terminals 15 and 16.
2. Use shielded cable and ground the shield to the power supply.
3. To ground the transmitter, attach the shield to the grounding screw on the inside of
the transmitter case.
You can also use a third wire to connect the transmitter to earth ground.
Note
For optimum EMI/RFI immunity, shield the power supply and enclose it in an earth
ground metal conduit. Do not run power supply/signal wiring in the same conduit
or cable tray with AC power lines or with relay actuated signal cables. Keep power
supply/signal wiring at least 6 ft. (2 m) away from heavy electrical equipment. An
additional 0-1 mA current loop is available between TB-14 and TB-15. A 1 mA
current in this loop signifies a sensor fault. See Figure 4-2 for wiring instructions. See
Diagnostics and troubleshooting for more information about sensor faults.

5.2Infrared remote control (IRC)
Use the IRC to read diagnostics messages, calibrate connected sensors, and program the
transmitter. Hold the IRC within 6 ft. (1.8 m) of the transmitter and less than 15 degrees
from the horizontal of the display window.
Figure 5-3: Infrared Remote Control (IRC) Functions
1. RESET
• End current operation and
return to the main display.
• Changes are not saved.
• Does not return the
transmitter to factory default
settings.
2. Editing (arrow) keys
• Change values of a flashing
display.
• Left and right arrows move
the cursor by one digit.
• Up and down arrows increase
or decrease the values and
navigate through the display
options.
3. CAL
• Access to Calibration menu.
4. PROG
• Access to Program menu.
5. DIAG
• Access to diagnostics.
6. HOLD
• Access to turn hold readings
on or off.
7. ENTER
• Advance to the next prompt.
• Store selected item.
• Store value in memory.
8. NEXT
• Advance to the next sub-
menu.
9. EXIT
• End current operation.
• Return to the first prompt in
the present sub-menu.
• Changes are not saved.
Guidelines for using IRC
• Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive brushes when cleaning the remote control.
• If the green LED does not light when you press a key, the issue is probably a weak
battery. To restore operation, remove four screws to access and replace the two
batteries. Observe the two warning messages posted at the rear of the remote control.
• Requires two 1.5 V AAA batteries. If used in hazardous areas, replacement batteries
must be Energizer E92/EN92 or Duracell MN2400/PC2400.
• All functions for remote control PN 24479-00 are the same as those for the previous
remote control, PN 23572-00.
