CAUTION
SENSOR/PROCESS
APPLICATION COMPATIBILITY
The wetted sensor materials may not be compatible
with process com position and operating conditions.
Application compat ibility is entirely the responsibility
of the user.
CAUTION
BEFORE REMOVING THE SENSOR, be
absolutely certain the process pressure is
reduced to 0 psig and the process temperature is at a safe level!

Warning: The EDS880/1 sensor contains a Pt 1000 RTD for temperature measurement. Typically, RTDs are connected to the analyzer using a three-wire configuration. The third wire, the sense line, is used to correct for
cable resistance and for changes in cable resistance caused by changes in ambient temperature. The cable
used with the EDS880/1 contains no sense line. To satisfy the circuit requirements of the 54eC, which is
designed for cables having sense lines, terminals TB1-3 and TB1-4 (RTD return and RTD sense) must be connected with a wire jumper. The wire jumper must be present. The analyzer displays the error message “sense
line open” if the jumper is absent.
Figure 2. Sensor Orientation
INSTALLATION
Keep 1/4 inch (0.6 cm) clearance between the electrodes and piping. The electrodes must be completely submerged in
the process liquid. See Figure, 2 for recommended orientation.
DO NOT TIGHTEN THE HEX NUT UNTIL THE SENSOR HAS BEEN PROPERLY POSITIONED. ONCE THE
NUT HAS BEEN TIGHTENED, NO FURTHER ADJUSTMENT OF THE SENSOR LENGTH IS POSSIBLE.
The sensor is provided with unterminated cable. To wire the connector, remove the screw holding the sensor plug to the
sensor, remove the plug , and a pry off the cover using a small screwdriver. There is a slot for the screwdriver in one
corner of the plug. Do not lose the gasket.
The terminals in the plug are numbered 1, 2, 3, and ground. The cable comprises two insulated conductors, a coaxial
conductor, and an overall braid. Wire the cable to the plug and 54eC analyzer as shown in the table.

MODEL EDS880/1 TROUBLESHOOTING
PROBLEM PROBABLE CAUSE SOLUTION
Off-scale reading Wiring is wrong. Verify wiring in plug and at analyzer.
Temperature element is open or shorted. Check temperature element for open or
shorts. See Figure 3.
Sensor is not in process stream. Be sure sensor is completely submerged in
process stream.
Sensor is defective. Perform isolation checks. See Figure 4.
Noisy reading Sensor is improperly installed in process Be sure sensor is completely submerged
stream. in process stream.
Reading seems wrong (lower Bubbles trapped in sensor. Be sure sensor is properly oriented in
or higher than expected) pipe. See Figure 1.
Wrong temperature correction algorithm. Check that temperature correction is
appropriate for the sample. See analyzer
manual for more information.
Wrong cell constant. Verify that the correct cell constant has
been entered in the analyzer and that the
cell constant is appropriate for the conductivity
of the sample. See analyzer manual.
Sluggish response Electrodes are fouled. Clean electrodes.
Sensor is installed in dead area in piping. Move sensor to a location more
representative of the process liquid.
TROUBLESHOOTING
CLEANING THE SENSOR
Use a warm detergent solution and a soft brush or pipe cleaner to remove oil and scale. Isopropyl alcohol
(rubbing alcohol) can also be used to remove oily films. Avoid using acids to clean conductivity sensors.
FIGURE 3. Checking the RTD
Disconnect leads and measure resistances between the
yellow and blue leads. The resistance at room temperature should be close to 1100 Ω.
FIGURE 4. Checking Continuity and Leakage
Disconnect the coax braid and coax conductor leads and
measure resistance and continuity as shown. Sensor must
be dry when checking resistance between leads.
