Compatible with Rosemount Analytical SMART pH sensors calibrations/standardization:
The 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.
A manual two-point calibration is made by immersing the sensor in two different buffer
solutions and entering the pH values. The microprocessor automatically calculates the slope
which is used for self-diagnostics. An error message will be displayed if the pH sensor is faulty.
This slope can be read on the display and/or manually adjusted if desired.
An on-line one-point process standardization is accomplished by entering the pH or ORP
value of a grab sample.
The following calibration methods are supported:
- Two point calibration with Low and High buffer (pH only)
- Two point calibration with Automatic Buffer recognition (pH only)
- Single point standardization
- Single point Temperature Adjustment
- Automatic calibration upon live connection to RAI SMART pH sensors and upload of
stored cal data to transmitter
Automatic Temperature Compensation: External 3-wire Pt100 RTD or Pt1000 RTD located in
the sensor, compensates the pH reading for temperature uctuations. Compensation covers
the range -10 to 150 °C (14 to 302 °F). Manual temperature compensation is also selectable.

1.5 Product Certifications
Telecommunication Compliance
All wireless devices require certication to ensure that they adhere to regulations regarding the
use of the RF spectrum. Nearly every country requires this type of product certication. Emerson
is working with governmental agencies around the world to supply fully compliant products and
remove the risk of violating country directives or laws governing wireless device usage.
FCC and IC
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following
conditions: This device may not cause harmful interference, this device must accept any
interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.
This device must be installed to ensure a minimum antenna separation distance of 20 cm from all
persons.
1.6 HART Communications
1.6.1 Overview of HART Communication
HART (highway addressable remote transducer) V.7 supports a wireless digital communication
system.
The HART protocol, originally developed by Fisher-Rosemount, is now overseen by the
independent HART Communication Foundation. The Foundation ensures that all HART devices
can communicate with one another. For more information about HART communications, call
the HART Communication Foundation at (512) 794-0369. The internet address is http://www.
hartcomm.org.
1.6.2 HART Interface Devices
HART communicators allow the user to view measurement data (pH, ORP and temperature),
program the transmitter, and download information from the transmitter for transfer to a
computer for analysis. Downloaded information can also be sent to another HART transmitter.
Either a hand-held communicator, such as the Rosemount Model 375, or a computer can be used.
HART interface devices operate fromthe HART taps inside the rear enclosure.
If your communicator does not recognize the Model 6081 pH/ORP transmitter, the device
description library may need updating. Call the manufacturer of your HART communication
device for updates.
1.7 Asset Management Solutions
Asset Management Solutions (AMS) is software that helps plant personnel better monitor the
performance of analytical instruments, pressure and temperature transmitters, and control
valves. Continuous monitoring means maintenance personnel can anticipate equipment failures
and plan preventative measures before costly breakdown maintenance is required.
AMS uses remote monitoring. The operator, sitting at a computer, can view measurement data,
change program settings, read diagnostic and warning messages, and retrieve historical data
from any HART-compatible device, including the Model 6081-P transmitter. Although AMS
allows access to the basic functions of any HART compatible device, Rosemount Analytical
has developed additional software for that allows access to all features of the Model 6081-P
transmitter.
AMS can play a central role in plant quality assurance and quality control. Using AMS Audit Trail,
plant operators can track calibration frequency and results as well as warnings and diagnostic
messages. The information is available to Audit Trail whether calibrations were done using the
infrared remote controller, the Model 375 HART communicator, or AMS software.
AMS operates in Windows 95. AMS communicates through a HART-compatible modem with
any HART transmitters, including those from other manufacturers. AMS is also compatible with
FoundationÔ Fieldbus, which allows future upgrades to Fieldbus instruments.
Rosemount Analytical AMS windows provide access to all transmitter measurement and
conguration variables. The user can read raw data, nal data, and program settings and can
recongure the transmitter from anywhere in the plant.

Instruction Manual Installation
LIQ_MAN_6081-P February 2014
Section 2: Installation
2.1 Considerations
The transmitter can be commissioned before or after installation. It may be useful to commission
it on the bench, before installation, to ensure proper operation and to become familiar with
its functionality. When applicable, make sure the instruments are installed in accordance with
intrinsically safe or non-incendive eld wiring practices. The device will be powered whenever the
power module is installed. To avoid depleting the power module, make sure it is removed when
the device is not in use.
Power module
The 6081 is battery powered. The power module with the wireless unit contains 2 “C” size
primary lithium/thionyl chloride batteries. Each power module contains approximately .5 grams
of lithium. Under normal conditions, the power module materials are self-contained and are not
reactive as long as the power module integrity is maintained. Care should be taken to prevent
thermal, electrical or mechanical damage. Contacts should be protected to prevent premature
discharge. Use caution when handling the power module. The power module may be damaged if
dropped from heights in excess of 20 feet.
Sensor
Make sensor connections through the cable entry in the enclosure. Be sure to provide adequate
clearance for cover removal.
Environmental
Verify that the operating atmosphere of the transmitter is consistent with the appropriate
hazardous locations certications.
2.2 Unpacking and Inspection
Inspect the shipping container. If it is damaged, contact the shipper immediately for instructions.
Save the box. If there is no apparent damage, remove the transmitter. Be sure all items shown on
the packing list are present. If items are missing, immediately notify Rosemount Analytical.
Save the shipping container and packaging. They can be reused if it is later necessary to return
the transmitter to the factory.
2.3 Pre-Installation Set-up
2.3.1 Temperature Element
The 6081-P pH/ORP transmitter is compatible with sensors having Pt 100 and Pt 1000. Sensors
from other manufacturers may have a Pt 1000 RTD. For Rosemount Analytical sensors, the type
of temperature element in the sensor is printed on the tag attached to the sensor cable. For
the majority of sensors manufactured by Rosemount Analytical, the RTD IN lead is red and the
RTD RTN lead is white. The 328A sensor has no RTD. The 320HP system has a readily identiable
separate temperature element. Resistance at room temperature for common RTDs is given in the
table.
If the resistance is...the temperature element is a
about 110 ohmsPt 100 RTD
about 1100 ohmsPt 1000 RTD
2.3.2 Reference Electrode Impedance
The standard silver-silver chloride reference electrode used in most industrial and laboratory pH
electrodes is low impedance. EVERY pH and ORP sensor manufactured by Rosemount Analytical
has a low impedance reference. Certain specialized applications require a high impedance
reference electrode. The transmitter must be re-programmed to recognize the high impedance
reference.
Installation 5
Installation Instruction Manual
February 2014 LIQ_MAN_6081-P
2.3.3 Preamplier Location
pH sensors produce a high impedance voltage signal that must be preamplied before use.
The signal can be preamplied before it reaches the transmitter or it can be preamplied in
the transmitter. To work properly, the transmitter must know where preamplication occurs.
Although ORP sensors produce a low impedance signal, the voltage from an ORP sensor is
amplied the same way as a pH signal.
If the sensor is wired to the transmitter through a junction box, the preamplier is ALWAYS in
either the junction box or the sensor. Junction boxes can be attached to the sensor or installed
some distance away. If the junction box is not attached to the sensor, it is called a remote junction
box. In most junction boxes used with the 6081-P pH/ORP, a at, black plastic box attached to the
same circuit board as the terminal strips houses the preamplier. The preamplier housing in the
381+ sensor is crescent shaped.
If the sensor is wired directly to the transmitter, the preamplier can be in the sensor or in
the transmitter. If the sensor cable has a GREEN wire, the preamplier is in the sensor. If there
is no green wire, the sensor cable will contain a coaxial cable. A coaxial cable is an insulated
wire surrounded by a braided metal shield. Depending on the sensor model, the coaxial cable
terminates in either a BNC connector or in a separate ORANGE wire and CLEAR shield.
2.4 Mechanical Installation
When choosing an installation location and position, take into account the need for access to
the transmitter. For best performance, the antenna should be vertical with some space between
objects in a parallel metal plane such as a pipe or metal framework, as the pipes or framework
may adversely affect the performance of the antenna.
2.5 Ground the Transmitter
The electronics enclosure should be grounded in accordance with local and national installation
codes. This can be accomplished via the process connection, via the internal case grounding
terminal, or via the external grounding terminal.
mV and RTD Inputs
Each process installation has different requirements for grounding. Use the grounding options
recommended by the facility for the specic sensor type, or begin with grounding Option 1 (the
most common).
WARNING
Failure to follow these installation guidelines could result in death or serious injury.
• Make sure only qualied personnel perform the installation.
Explosions could result in death or serious injury.
• Before connecting a 375 Field Communicator in an explosive atmosphere, make sure the instruments
are installed in accordance with intrinsically safe or non-incendive eld wiring practices.
• Verify that the operating atmosphere of the transmitter is consistent with the appropriate hazardous
locations certications.
Process leaks could result in death or serious injury.
Electrical shock could cause death or serious injury.
• Use extreme caution when making contact with the leads and terminals.
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following conditions:
This device may not cause harmful interference, this device must accept any interference received,
including interference that may cause undesired operation.
This device must be installed to ensure a minimum antenna separation distance of 20 cm from all
persons.

The 6081 will receive any HART communications from a handheld Field Communicator, or AMS.
When using a Field Communicator, any conguration changes must be sent to the transmitter by
using the Send key (F2). AMS conguration changes are implemented when the Apply button is
clicked.
AMS Wireless and Direct Connections. AMS is capable of connecting to devices either directly,
using a HART modem, or wirelessly via the 1420. When conguring on the bench using a HART
modem, double click the device icon (or right click and select Congure/Setup), then choose
the Congure/Setup tab. Congure the device settings using the Direct Connection menu.
When conguring wirelessly via the 1420, double click the device icon (or right click and select
Congure/Setup), then choose the Congure/Setup tab. Congure the device settings using the
Wireless Connection menu.
The 6081 and all other wireless devices should be installed only after the 1420 Wireless Gateway
has been installed and is functioning properly. Wireless devices should also be powered up in
order of proximity from the 1420 Wireless Gateway, beginning with the closest device to the
1420. This will result in a simpler and faster network installation.
5.2 Device network configuration
In order to communicate with the 1420 Wireless Gateway, and ultimately the Information
System, the transmitter must be congured to communicate with the wireless network. This step
is the wireless equivalent of connecting wires from a transmitter to the information system. Using
a Field Communicator or AMS, enter the Network ID and Join Key so that they match the Network
ID and Join Key of the gateway and other devices in the network. If the Network ID and Join Key
are not identical, the transmitter will not communicate with the network. The Network ID and
Join Key may be obtained from the 1420 Wireless Gateway on the Setup>Network>Settings
page on the web server. The nal device network conguration piece is the Update Rate. This by
default is 1 minute. This may be changed at commissioning, or at any time via AMS or the 1420
Wireless Gateway’s web server. The Update Rate should be between 1 second and 10 minutes.
For networks of up to 100 wireless devices, fastest Update Rate is 60 seconds. For networks of 50
or fewer devices, the fastest Update Rate is 15 seconds.
When device conguration is completed, remove the power module and replace the power
module cover. Tighten the cover to the proper tension for safety approvals. To access the
Network Settings using a 375 Field Communicator, enter the following Fast Key Sequence: 1, 3, 3.

7.3.1 Off-line and On-line Operation
The 375 Communicator features off-line and on-line communications. On-line means the
communicator is connected to the transmitter in the usual fashion. While the communicator is
on line, the operator can view measurement data, change program settings, and read diagnostic
messages. Off-line means the communicator is not connected to the transmitter. When the
communicator is off line, the operator can still program settings into the communicator. Later,
after the communicator has been connected to a transmitter, the operator can transfer the
programmed settings to the transmitter. Off-line operation permits settings common to several
transmitters to be easily stored in all of them.

1. Congure the transmitter to measure pH, ORP, or Redox.
2. Determine the location of the preamp.
3. If pH was selected, there are additional selections and settings to make:
a. choose a solution temperature correction curve or set a temperature coefcient constant
b. choose sensor isopotential
c. set reference impedance low or high
8.3.2 Denitions
1. MEASUREMENT. The transmitter can be congured to measure pH, ORP or Redox (opposite
sign of ORP).
2. pH SETTINGS. If pH is selected, there are additional settings to make.
a. PREAMPLIFIER. The raw pH signal is a high impedance voltage. A voltage follower or
preamplier, located either in the sensor or transmitter, converts the high impedance signal
into a low impedance one. Normally, high impedance signals should be sent no further than
about 15 feet.
b. REFERENCE OFFSET. Ideally, a pH sensor in pH 7 buffer should have a voltage of 0 mV. The
difference between the measured voltage in pH 7 buffer and the ideal value is the reference
offset. Typically, the reference offset is less than 60 mV.
c. DIAGNOSTICS. The 6081 continuously monitors the pH sensor for faults. If it detects a fault,
the transmitter displays a fault message.
d. GLASS IMPEDANCE. The transmitter monitors the condition of the pH-sensitive glass
membrane in the sensor by continuously measuring the impedance across the membrane.
Typical impedance is between 100 and 500 MΩ. Low impedance (<10 MΩ) implies the glass
bulb has cracked and the sensor must be replaced. An extremely high impedance (>1000
MΩ) implirs the sensor is aging and may soon need replacement. High impedance might
also mean that the glass membrane is no longer immersed in the process liquid.
3. INPUT FILTER. The raw sensor current can be ltered to reduce noise. Filtering also increases
the response time. The lter is the time required for the input to reach 63% of its nal reading
following a step change.

to convert measured cell voltage to pH. In automatic temperature compensation, the analyzer
measures the temperature and automatically calculates the correct conversion factor. For
maximum accuracy, use automatic temperature compensation.
2. Manual Temperature Compensation. In manual temperature compensation, the analyzer
converts measured voltage to pH using the temperature entered by the user. It does not use
the actual process temperature. Do NOT use manual temperature compensation unless the
process temperature varies no more than about ±2 °C or the pH is between 6 and 8. Manual
temperature compensation is useful if the sensor temperature element has failed and a

Instruction Manual Calibration - Temperature
LIQ_MAN_6081-P February 2014
Section 9: Calibration – Temperature
9.1 Introduction
The Calibrate Menu allows the user to calibrate the pH, ORP (or redox), and temperature
response of the sensor.
9.2 Calibrating Temperature
9.2.1 Purpose
Temperature affects the measurement of pH in three ways.
1. The analyzer uses a temperature dependent factor to convert measured cell voltage to pH.
Normally, a slight inaccuracy in the temperature reading is unimportant unless the pH reading
is signicantly different from 7.00. Even then, the error is small. For example, at pH 12 and
25 °C, a 1 °C error produces a pH error less than ±0.02.
2. During auto calibration, the 6081 recognizes the buffer being used and calculates the actual
pH of the buffer at the measured temperature. Because the pH of most buffers changes only
slightly with temperature, reasonable errors in temperature do not produce large errors in the
buffer pH. For example, a 1 °C error causes at most an error of ±0.03 in the calculated buffer pH.
3. The 6081 can be programmed to calculate and display pH at a reference temperature
(25 °C). The maximum change in solution pH with temperature is about ±0.04 pH/°C, so a 1°C
temperature error does introduce a small error. However, the major source of error in solution
temperature compensation is using an incorrect temperature coefcient.
Temperature affects the measurement of ORP in a complicated fashion that is best determined
empirically. Without calibration the accuracy of the temperature measurement is about ±0.4°C.
Calibrate the sensor/analyzer combination if:
1. ±0.4 °C accuracy is not acceptable
2. the temperature measurement is suspected of being in error. Calibrate temperature
by making the analyzer reading match the temperature measured with a standard
thermometer.
9.2.2 Procedure
1. Remove the sensor from the process. Place it in an insulated container of water along with
a calibrated thermometer. Submerge at least the bottom two inches of the sensor. Stir
continuously.
2. Allow the sensor to reach thermal equilibrium. For some sensors, the time constant
for a change in temperature is 5 min., so it may take as long as 30 min. for temperature
equilibration.
3. If the sensor cannot be removed from the process, measure the temperature of a owing
sample taken from a point as close to the sensor as possible. Let the sample continuously
overow an insulated container holding a calibrated thermometer.
4. Change the 6081 display to match the calibrated thermometer using the procedure below.
1. Press MENU. The menu screen appears. Choose Calibrate.
2. Choose Temp.
3. If transmitter was programmed in Section 8.4 to use the actual process temperature, go to
step 7. If the transmitter was programmed to use a temperature entered by the user, go to
step 9.
4. To calibrate the temperature, change the number in the second line to match the
temperature measured with ;the standard thermometer. Press ENTER.
5. Press MENU then EXIT to return to the main display.
6. If the temperature value shown in the display is not correct, use the arrow keys to change
it to the desired value. The transmitter will use the temperature entered in this step in all
measurements and calculations, no matter what the true temperature is.
7. Press MENU then EXIT to return to the main display.

Instruction Manual Calibration - pH and ORP
LIQ_MAN_6081-P February 2014
Section 10: Calibration - pH and ORP
10.1 Introduction
For pH sensors, two-point buffer calibration is standard. Both automatic calibration and manual
calibration are available. Auto calibration avoids common pitfalls and reduces errors. Its use
is recommended. In auto calibration the 6081 calculates the actual pH of the buffer from the
nominal value entered by the user and does not accept calibration data until readings are stable.
In manual calibration the user enters buffer values and judges when readings are stable. The pH
reading can also be standardized, that is, forced to match the reading from a referee instrument.
Finally, if the user knows the electrode slope (at 25°C), he can enter it directly.
The ORP calibration is a single-point calibration against an ORP standard.
A new pH sensor must be calibrated before use. Regular recalibration is also necessary.
A pH measurement cell (pH sensor and the solution to be measured) can be pictured as a battery
with an extremely high internal resistance. The voltage of the battery depends on the pH of
the solution. The pH meter, which is basically a voltmeter with a very high input impedance,
measures the cell voltage and calculates pH using a conversion factor. The actual value of the
voltage-to-pH conversion factor depends on the sensitivity of the pH sensing element (and the
temperature). The sensing element is a thin, glass membrane at the end of the sensor. As
the glass membrane ages, the sensitivity drops. Regular recalibration corrects for the loss of
sensitivity. pH calibration standards, also called buffers, are readily available.
In automatic calibration the transmitter recognizes the buffer and uses temperature-corrected
pH values in the calibration. The table below lists the standard buffers the controller recognizes.
The controller also recognizes several technical buffers: Merck, Ingold, and DIN 19267.
Temperature-pH data stored in the controller are valid between at least 0 and 60 °C.

NOTE
A damaged or degraded o-ring may compromise the NEMA 4X/IP66 rating of the unit even when the rear
cover is correctly installed. Please take care to protect the o-ring when removing and replacing the rear
cover of the transmitter.
During automatic calibration, the transmitter also measures noise and drift and does not accept
calibration data until readings are stable. Calibration data will be accepted as soon as the pH
reading is constant to within the factory-set limits of 0.02 pH units for 10 seconds. The stability
settings can be changed. In manual calibration, the user judges when pH readings are stable. He
also has to look up the pH of the buffer at the temperature it is being used and enter the value
in the transmitter. Once the transmitter completes the calibration, it calculates the calibration
slope and offset. The slope is reported as the slope at 25 °C. Figure 10-1 denes the terms. The

and offset. The slope is reported as the slope at 25 °C. Figure 10-1 denes the terms. The transmitter can also be standardized. Standardization is the process of forcing the transmitter reading
to match the reading from a second pH instrument. Standardization is sometimes called a onepoint calibration.

15. To return to the main display, press MENU then EXIT.
10.4 Procedure–Standardization
1. The pH measured by the transmitter can be changed to match the reading from a second or
referee instrument. The process of making the two readings agree is called standardization.
2. During standardization, the difference between the two values is converted to the equivalent
voltage. The voltage, called the reference offset, is added to all subsequent measured cell
voltages before they are converted to pH. If after standardization the sensor is placed in a
buffer solution, the measured pH will differ from the buffer pH by an amount equivalent to the
standardization offset.
3. Install the pH sensor in the process liquid.
4. Once readings are stable, measure the pH of the liquid using a referee instrument.
5. Because the pH of the process liquid may change if the temperature changes, measure the pH
of the grab sample immediately after taking it.
6. For poorly buffered samples, it is best to determine the pH of a continuously owing sample

from a point as close as possible to the sensor.
7. Press MENU. The main menu appears. Choose Calibrate.
8. Choose pH.
9. Choose Standardize.
10. The top line shows the present reading. Use the arrow keys to change the pH reading in the
second line to match the pH reading from the referee instrument.
11. The screen at left appears if the entered pH was greater than 14.00 or if the mV offset
calculated by the transmitter during standardization exceeds the reference offset limit
programmed into the transmitter. The display then returns to step 10. Repeat the
standardization. To change the reference offset from the default value (60 mV), see section
8.4.
12. If the entry was accepted the display returns to step 9.
13. To return to the main display, press MENU then EXIT.
10.5 Procedure–Entering a Known Slope Value
1. If the electrode slope is known from other measurements, it can be entered directly into the
transmitter. The slope must be entered as the slope at 25°C. To calculate the slope at 25°C
from the slope at temperature t° C, use the equation:
slope at 25 °C = (slope at t°C)
Changing the slope overrides the slope determined from the previous buffer calibration.
2. Press MENU. The main menu appears. Choose Calibrate.
3. Choose pH.
4. Choose slope.
5. The screen at left appears briey.
6. Change the slope to the desired value. Press ENTER.
7. The slope must be between 45 and 60 mV/pH. If the value entered is outside this range, the
screen at left appears.
8. If the entry was accepted, the screen at left appears.
9. To return to the main display, press MENU then EXIT.
10.6 ORP Calibration
10.6.1 Purpose
1. For process control, it is often important to make the measured ORP agree with the ORP of a
standard solution.
2. During calibration, the measured ORP is made equal to the ORP of a standard solution at a
single point.
10.6.2 Preparation of ORP standard solutions
ASTM D1498-93 gives procedures for the preparation of iron (II) - iron (III) and quinhydrone
ORP standards. The iron (II) - iron (III) standard is recommended. It is fairly easy to make, is not
particularly hazardous, and has a shelf life of about one year. In contrast, quinhydrone standards
contain toxic quinhydrone and have only an eight-hour shelf life.
Iron (II) - iron (III) standard is available from Rosemount Analytical as PN R508-16OZ. The ORP of
the standard solution measured against a silver-silver chloride reference electrode is 476±20mV
at 25°C. The redox potential is -476±20mV at 25°C.
10.6.3 Procedure
1. Press MENU. The main menu screen appears. Choose Calibrate.
2. Choose ORP.
3. The top line shows the actual ORP or redox potential (Live). Once the reading is stable, change
the number in the second line to the desired value. Press ENTER.
4. The screen on the left will appear briey.
5. The display returns to the Cal Sensor screen. Press EXIT. Choose the other sensor and repeat
steps 2 through 4.
32 Calibration - pH and ORP
Instruction Manual Maintenance
LIQ_MAN_6081-P February 2014
Section 11: Maintenance
11.1 Overview
This section gives general procedures for routine maintenance of the 6081-P pH/ORP transmitter
and pH and ORP sensors. The transmitter needs almost no routine maintenance. Sensors require
periodic inspection and cleaning. The calibration of the transmitter-sensor combination should
be checked regularly, and the loop recalibrated if necessary.
11.2 Transmitter Maintenance
Periodically clean the transmitter window and housing as needed with a cloth dampened with
water. Do not use abrasive cleaning solutions. The O-rings and sealing surfaces must be kept
clean or moisture may enter the electronic enclosure.
11.3 pH Sensor Maintenance
11.3.1 Frequency of Cleaning
The frequency at which a sensor should be inspected and cleaned can be determined only by
experience. If the process liquid coats or fouls the sensor, frequent cleaning may be necessary. If
the process does not contain a high level of suspended solids, the need for regular cleaning will be
less. Often an increase in glass impedance indicates the electrode is becoming fouled and needs
cleaning. Refer to Section 12.4 for a description of the glass impedance diagnostic.
11.3.2 Cleaning Procedures
ProblemCleaning Suggestions
Loose scale or debrisUse a stream of water from a wash bottle to rinse away solids
from the tip of the sensor. If water does not work, gently wipe
the glass bulb and liquid junction with a soft cloth, tissue, cotton-tipped swab, or a soft bristle brush.
Oil and greaseWash the glass bulb with mild detergent solution and rinse thor-
oughly with water.
Hard scale (carbonate
sulfate scales and corrosion
products)
When using acid or alkaline solvents, be careful to keep the solvent away from the liquid junction.
If the cleaning solvent contacts the junction, hydrogen ions (acid solvent) or hydroxide ions
(alkaline solvent) will diffuse into the junction. Because hydrogen and hydroxide ions have much
greater mobility than other ions, they produce a large junction potential. When the electrode
goes back in service, the hydrogen or hydroxide ions slowly diffuse out of the junction, causing
the liquid junction potential and the pH reading to drift. It may take hours or days for the reading
to stabilize. For a discussion of the inuence of ion mobility on liquid junction potentials, see
Section 13.4.
Consult the sensor instruction manual for additional information.
Always recalibrate the sensor after cleaning. If the sensor was cleaned with detergent or acid,
soak the sensor in pH 4 or pH 7 buffer for at least an hour before calibrating.
If wiping the sensor tip with a tissue or cotton swab does not
remove the scale, soak the glass bulb ONLY in a solution of 5%
hydrochloric acid. To prepare the acid solution, add 15 mL of
concentrated hydrochloric acid to 85 mL of water. Keep the
acid away from the liquid junction and from any stainless steel
portions of the sensor. Rinse the sensor thoroughly with deion-
ized water. Some scales (for example, calcium sulfate) cannot be
removed easily with acid. Soaking the glass bulb in a 2% solution
of disodium EDTA may be helpful.
11.3.3 Checking the Reference Electrode.
Some processes contain substances, for example, suldes, that poison the reference electrode.
Maintenance 33
Maintenance Instruction Manual
February 2014 LIQ_MAN_6081-P
Poisoning alters the electrode potential. For example, sulde poisoning converts the reference
electrode from a silver/silver chloride electrode into a silver/silver sulde electrode, causing a shift
in potential of several hundred millivolts. A good way to check for poisoning is to compare the
voltage of the reference electrode with a silver/silver chloride electrode that is known to be good.
The reference electrode from a new sensor is the best choice. To check the suspect electrode,
place both sensors in a beaker containing buffer or a solution of potassium chloride. Connect
the reference leads to a voltmeter and measure the potential difference. If the suspect electrode
is good, the difference should be no more than about 20 mV. Refer to Figure 11-1. A poisoned
reference electrode usually requires replacement.
Figure 11-1. Checking the Potential of the Reference Electrode
Refer to the wiring diagram(s) for the sensors to identify the reference leads.
A laboratory silver/silver chloride reference electrode can be used in place of the second sensor.
All Rosemount Analytical pH sensors have a silver/silver chloride reference, and most sensors
use gelled saturated potassium chloride for the ll. The potentials of a good sensor reference
electrode and a saturated silver/silver chloride laboratory electrode will agree within about 20
mV.
11.3.4 Rejuvenating Reference Electrodes
Occasionally, a poisoned or plugged reference electrode can be reconditioned. Although the
electrode seldom recovers completely, the procedure might extend the life of the sensor by a few
weeks.
1. Clean the sensor as thoroughly as possible.
2. Soak the sensor for several hours in a hot (NOT BOILING) 3% potassium chloride solution.
Prepare the solution by dissolving 3 g of potassium chloride in 100 mL of water.
3. Soak the sensor in pH 4 buffer at room temperature overnight.
4. Calibrate the sensor in buffers and retest it in the process liquid.
11.4 ORP Sensor Maintenance
11.4.1 Frequency of Cleaning
The frequency at which an ORP sensor should be inspected and cleaned can be determined only
by experience. If the process liquid coats or fouls the sensor, frequent cleaning may be necessary.
If the process does not contain a high level of suspended solids, the need for regular cleaning will
be less.
11.4.2 Cleaning Procedures
The platinum electrode is easily cleaned by using a tissue to rub the metal surface with a paste of

baking soda (sodium bicarbonate). A clean platinum electrode is bright and shiny.
11.4.3 Checking the Reference Electrode
ORP electrodes manufactured by Rosemount Analytical have a silver/silver chloride reference.
Section 12.3.3 describes how to check the performance of the reference electrode.
11.5 Calibration
11.5.1 General
Many users regard calibration as a routine part of sensor/transmitter maintenance. Procedures for
calibrating pH sensors, ORP sensors, and general information regarding the use of pH calibration
buffers and ORP standards are given in Sections 10.0 Calibration of pH and ORP Measurements.
11.5.2 Calibration Frequency
The frequency at which sensors should be calibrated can be determined only by experience. Many
factors inuence calibration frequency. Sensors installed in dirty or corrosive process streams
usually require more frequent calibration than sensors used in clean water. Sensors measuring
extreme pH values, particularly high pH, also require more frequent calibration than sensors
measuring mid-range pH. The width of the pH or ORP control range and the consequences of an
out-of-limits condition has a major inuence on calibration frequency. The narrower the control
range and the greater the sensitivity of the process to control excursions, the more often the
sensor should be checked. Finally, if monitoring data are reported to regulatory agencies, the
agency itself may dictate the calibration frequency.
Use the following procedure to determine how often a pH sensor should be calibrated.
1. Calibrate the sensor. Record the date of calibration and the sensor response in buffers. That
is, after calibrating, place the sensor back in the buffers and record the pH and temperature
reading in each buffer. Also note the value of the reference offset and slope.
2. Install the sensor in the process stream.
3. After the appropriate period—two weeks for a clean process, several days for a dirty or
aggressive process— remove the sensor and check its performance in buffers. Record the pH
and temperature readings. The performance of the sensor in buffer after it has been in service
is called the as-found condition. Keeping a good record of as-found data is an important step in
determining the calibration frequency.
4. If the as-found data are acceptable, do not recalibrate the sensor. Return it to the process.
Continue checking the calibration at the same interval.
5. If the as-found data are not acceptable, recalibrate the sensor. After calibration, check the
sensor response in each buffer and record the results. Also note the reference offset and the
slope. Return the sensor to service. Check the sensor again after a period shorter than the one
originally selected. For example, if the rst interval was two weeks, repeat the check after one
week.
6. After a while it will become apparent how long the sensor holds calibration. The minimum
calibration frequency can then be determined.
7. Check the calibration of the sensor at least several times during the regular calibration interval.
Interim checks verify the sensor is still in calibration and validate the process measurements
made since the last calibration or calibration check.
11.6 Power Module Replacement
Expected power module (PN 701PBKKF or PN 00753-9220-0001) life is four years at reference
conditions. This section describes the procedure for replacement of power module (PN 701PBKKF or PN 00753-9220-0001). The new power module should stored in a safe place with a controlled
environment until the Model 6081 is ready for live operation. For replacement of the power
module, follow these steps:
1. Unscrew the two long machine screws to remove the rear cover of the Model 6081. Separate
the rear cover from the central housing by manually prying the sections apart. Do not use
screwdrivers or tools to separate these housing parts. The parts are sealed with an o-ring.
Maintenance 35
Maintenance Instruction Manual
February 2014 LIQ_MAN_6081-P
2. Before installation, note the safety warning, disposal instructions and part information on the
connectionside label of the power module.
3. With the Model 6081 front display section facing away from you, align the power module pack
with the curved surface of the pack facing towards you and the small protruding connector
facing away from you. Make sure to align the power module and its keyed connector with the
connection receptacle in the middle of the instrument’s terminal block area.
4. With gentle pressure, insert the keyed connector on the power module into the receptacle
(labeled Power Module Connection on the drawing). The power module seats in the connection
receptacle with an o-ring.
5. Conrm that the power module is fully inserted in the receptacle and properly aligned with the
surrounding terminal block.
6. Replace the rear cover of the Model 6081 with the two screws to secure it to the central
housing. Tighten screws and verify operation. Correct installation the rear cover will ensure that
the power module is properly secured to power the transmitter.
7. DO NOT RETURN SHIP THE USED POWER MODULE to Rosemount Analytical. Dispose of spent
power modules as a hazardous material in accordance with government regulations.
NOTE
A damaged or degraded o-ring may compromise the NEMA 4X rating of the unit even when the rear cover
is correctly installed. Please take care to protect the o-ring when removing and replacing the rear cover of
the transmitter.
11.6.1 Handling Considerations
The power module with the wireless unit contains 2 “C” size primary lithium/thionyl chloride
batteries. Each power module contains approximately 2.5 grams of lithium, for a total of 5 grams
in each pack. Under normal conditions, the power module materials are self-contained and are
not reactive as long as the batteries and the power module integrity are maintained. Care should
be taken to prevent thermal, electrical or mechanical damage. Contacts should be protected to
prevent premature discharge. Use caution when handling the power module. The power module
may be damaged if dropped from heights in excess of 20 feet. Power module hazards remain
when cells are discharged.
11.6.2 Environmental Considerations
As with any battery, local environmental rules and regulations should be consulted for proper
management of spent batteries. If no specic requirements exist, recycling through a qualied
recycler is encouraged. Consult the materials safety data sheet for power module specic
information.
11.6.3 Shipping Considerations
The unit is shipped to you without the power module installed. Unless specically instructed
to do otherwise, remover the power module from the unit prior to shipping. Primary lithium
batteries are regulated in transportation by the U.S. Department of Transportation, and are also
covered by International Air Transport Association (IATA), International Civil Aviation Organization
(ICAO), and European Ground Transportation of Dangerous Goods (ARD). It is the responsibility
of the shipper to ensure compliance with these or any other local requirements. Please consult
current regulations and requirements before shipping.
