WARNING!
HAZARDOUS AREA INSTALLATION
Installations near flammable liquids or in hazardous area locations must be carefully evaluated by qualified on site safety personnel.
To secure and maintain intrinsically safe installation, an approprieate transmitter/safety barrier/sensor combination must be used.
The installation system must be in accordance with the governing approval agency (FM, CSA, or BASEEFA/CENELEC) hazardous are
classification requirements. Consult your analyzer/transmitter instruction manual for details.
Proper installation, operation, and servicing of this sensor in a hazardous area installation are entirely your responsibility.
WARNING!
SENSOR/PROCESS APPLICATION COMPATIBILITY
The wetted sensor materials may not be compatible with process composition and operating conditions. Application compatibility is
entirely your responsibility.
CAUTION!
If a 275, 375, or 475 Universal HART Communicator is used with these transmitters, the software within the 275, 375, or 475 may
require modification. If a software modification is required, please contact your local Rosemount Service group or National Response
Center at 1-800-654-7768.

Description and specifications
1Description and specifications
1.1Features and applications
Rosemount 389VP triple-junction sensors are offered with SMART capabilities. SMART
options are enabled when used with Rosemount 1056, 1057, 1066, and 56 transmitters.
The pH-loop capabilities include auto-recognition of the SMART sensor, automatic upload
of calibration data and associated time stamp, and historical recording of pH diagnostics
(slope, offset, reference impedance, and glass impedance). This trending data allows
technicians to predict frequency of maintenance and estimate sensor life for a particular
process condition. Additional SMART features include factory calibration, resetting SMART
sensor calibration data with user menus without power cycling, and manufacturing
information.
The reference junction aids in the sensor's resistance to poisoning ions and helps prolong
sensor life. Rosemount 389/389VP sensors have a triple junction reference, which protects
the reference element from poisoning ions - such as ammonia, chlorine, cyanides, and
sulfides - in the process. Both models are made with anouter ceramic junction constructed
in an annualr design around the pH/ORP sensitive membrane.
The AccuGLASS™ pH glass formulations exceed industry standards. The AccuGlass pH glass
is a result of many years of glass research resulting in a formulation which has been found
to increase the life of the sensor. Unlike other pH glasses presently on the market, this
glass resists cracking, especially at higher temperatures, and reduces sodium ion errors
commonly found in high pH applications. Overall, the AccuGlass formulation enhances the
sensor performance to measure pH more accurately and have a longer sensor life than
ever before.
A choice of pH glass electrodes is available to best meet various application needs. Two
types are available: general purpose and high pH glass. The AccuGlass hemi bulb is the
standard glass offered on both types and can be used for most applications.
The Rosemount 389VP is configured with a Variopol (VP8) sensor-to-cable connector
which eliminates re-wiring and cable twisting when replacing sensors. The Variopol VP8
multiple pin connector option uses a mating VP cable. Once the cable is installed and wired
to the transmitter, sensors are easily replaced without replacing the cable and without
rewiring the transmitter. Also, the cable can be disconnected from the sensor before
removal from the process which eliminates cable twisting. VP8 cable assemblies work with
both VP8 and VP6 sensor connectors.
The Rosemount 389/389VP has a molded Tefzel body with Viton O-rings, making each
sensor very robust and chemically resistant. Complete encapsulation eliminates leakage or
high humidity problems traditionally found in other pH/ORP designs. The seimplified
construction, designed with user convenience in mind, does not require electrolyte (KCl)
replenishment or any high maintenance troubleshooting procedures.
Instruction Manual 1
Description and specifications
Rosemount 389/389VP sensors are combintation sensors (pH, reference, and temperature
within sensor body) and measure pH or ORP (oxidation/reduction potential) of aqueous
solutions in pipelines, open tanks, or ponds. rosemount 389/389VP sensors are suitable for
virtually all applications and are compatible with Rosemount and other manufacturers'
instruments.
Installation is easily achieved through the wide variety of mounting configurations. These
sensors feature a 1 inch (MNPT) front and rear facing connections for insertion,
submersion, or flow-through pH and ORP applications.

1.4Ordering Information
The Rosemount 389 and 389VP General Purpose pH/ORP Sensors are housed in a molded
Tefzel body with 1 in. MNPT forward and rear facing threads suitable for insertion,
submersion, or flow through installation. The sensors can be configured with a general
purpose pH, high pH, or platinum ORP electrode. Rosemount 389VP sensors are offered
with SMART preamplifiers for pH measurements and standard integral preamplifiers for
ORP measurements. These sensors may be configured without a preamplifier, but must be
used with a remote preamplifier (j-box or transmitter). Automatic temperature
compensation is standard. Sensors are available with either an integral cable connection
(389) or Variopol (VP6) connector (389VP). Variopol cables sold separately (see Table 5-2).
