OF THE SENSOR
Figure 1. The 3900 general purpose pH sensor is offered with 1 inch MNPT
threads in two locations: one on the process end and one on the cable end. It also
has a 3/4” MNPT process end thread.
Understanding sensor process
connections:
Rosemount Analytical sensors are offered with a wide
variety of threaded process connections.
The sensor shown above is a 3900 pH sensor. All sensors
use similar terminology for process connection threads.
Note that not all sensors are offered with front and back
end threads. Below are examples of sensors using other
types of sensor-to-process connection threads.
The sensors shown in Figures 2 and 3 are much
different than the sensor shown in Figure 1. Figure 2 is
a 228 Toroidal sensor with 3/4" MNPT threads and is
also available with 5/8" UNC threads. Figure 3 shows a
non-threaded 3300HT pH sensor which is used with a

process connector (sold separately) to allow variable
insertion depths for the sensor and easy sensor
removal without twisting the cable.
Ordering Information
All sensors used with the accessories mentioned in this
catalog must be purchased separately. Also, please note
that additional accessory items must be purchased
along with the stated mounting accessories in order for
the complete mounting to be accomplished. Please
consult your local representative for more information
about sensors or consult the factory at 1-800-854-8257
(in the U.S.) or 1-949-757-8500 (outside of the U.S.).
You can also visit us at RosemountAnalytical.com.
Figure 2. The 228 Toroidal Conductivity Sensor is offered
with back end process threads only.

Process connector required for
connection of sensor to process.
Figure 3. The 3300HT sensor is offered without process
threads. A compression fit, process connector is used on
the sensor body and gives the user flexibility for insertion.
Retractable sensors (a longer version of what is shown
above) are also offered without process threads. This is so
the sensor can be mounted through a ball valve.
MOUNTING RECOMMENDATIONS FOR SENSORS
Sensors mounted in
tees and flow cells:
> To prevent leakage, wrap the sensor threads with pipe
tape before inserting into its mounting.
> Do not over tighten the sensor when installing. Hand
tighten the sensor, and then tighten with a wrench.
> The electrodes must be completely submerged in the
process liquid to measure properly
> Air bubbles accumulating on sensors will cause erro-
neous or erratic readings.
> To control air bubble formation, apply a small amount
of back pressure to the flow cell or pipe.
> All sensor cables should be run through a conduit to
protect the back end from moisture intrusion.
Figure 4. pH sensor recommended mounting orientation. pH sensors should be mounted at least 10° from the
horizontal to ensure correct measurement. Sensors can
also be mounted vertically.
oxygen, ozone sensors should be mounted vertically or
within 45° of the horizontal position. Also, these sensors
have recommended flow rates that should be observed.
Check instruction manual for more information on recommended flow rates.
Figure 6. Conductivity (contacting) sensors should have at
least 1/4 in. (0.6 cm) clearance between electrodes and
piping (as shown in both illustrations above). The recom-
mended sensor orientation is either horizontal or no more than
30° below horizontal. It is best that the inlet flow is facing the
sensor to ensure full pipe and minimal air bubbles.

Conductivity (toroidal) sensors should be kept at a far
enough distance between sensor and pipe wall to ensure
the pipe wall does not interfere with the reading. If
clearance is too small, the sensor should be calibrated
Figure 7. The measured toroidal conductivity value can be
affected when installed close to a pipe wall.
Sensors submerged in tanks,
ponds, or basins

tape before inserting into its mounting part.

turns with a wrench.
while in the pipe. The sensor should be completely
submerged in liquid. Mounting the sensor in a vertical
pipe run with the flow from bottom to top is best. If the
sensor must be mounted in a horizontal pipe run, orient
the sensor in the 3 o’clock or 9 o’clock position.
Figure 8. Correct sensor orientation
> The electrodes must be completely submerged in the
process liquid to measure properly.
> All sensor cables should be run through a pipe conduit;
do not use the sensors cable to dangle the sensor into
the tank, pond, or basin.
Do not install sensor by hanging it directly into water.

LOW FLOW CELLS
Emerson offers a variety of low flow cells for sidestream
applications where it is impractical to divert a large
volume of sample, particularly if the sample must be
sent to waste. Choose a transparent plastic or stainless
steel body—both have ¼ inch FPT process connections.
Plastic flow cells PN 24091-00, -01, and -02 are also
supplied with ¼ inch MPT to ¼ inch OD tubing fittings

HANDRAIL MOUNTING
Use a handrail mounting assembly whenever a pH, ORP,
or dissolved oxygen sensor must be installed in a tank,
aeration basin, pond, or open channel. Two versions are
available. PN 11275-01 consists of a 13-ft (4.0-m) long
PVC pipe with a 45° bend about two feet (0.6 m) from
the lower end where the sensor is connected. The angle
allows bubbles to slide off the sensor. Clamps attach
the pipe to a frame that can be bolted to a handrail.

HMRS-02
***
The pipe insertion depth is adjustable. The HRMS
consists of a 1½ inch pipe clamp held by a clevis and
pin assembly, which can be attached to a railing. The
user supplies the 1 ½ inch pipe. The clamp can be
rotated from side to side and up and down and locked
in place once the pipe is in the desired position. The
sensor attaches to the pipe using either a threaded
adapter (HRMS-02) or a union coupling (HRMS-01).
HINT: Using a sensor with a VP connector and
cable will allow for easier access to the sensor
when cleaning or calibration is necessary.

right shows correct sensor mounting – sensor is threaded into a pipe conduit while cable is run through the
pipe of the Handrail Mounting Assembly.

FLOATING BALL SYSTEM
The floating ball system when used with the HRMS
provides a convenient way of keeping the sensor a fixed
distance below the surface of a pond or basin
independent of the water level. The system
accommodates any sensor having 1-inch back facing
threads. The sensor attaches to the bottom of the float
through a union coupling, and the sensor is held a 45°
angle allows air bubbles to side off the sensor. The float
can be readily inflated using a hand pump.

JET SPRAY CLEANER
The jet spray cleaner is intended for use with pH, ORP, or
oxygen sensors. It directs a spray of air, water, or other
cleaning fluid at the end of the sensor flushing away
suspended solids that have accumulated there. The
cleaner can be used only if the sensor is installed in a
tank or basin. It is not suitable for in-pipe installations.
Cleaning frequency and spray duration is controlled by
n interval timer in the analyzer. During cleaning the
a
analyzer can be programmed to hold the last reading,
thus avoiding spurious outputs and relay actions. Hold
can be continued beyond the end of the cleaning

Cleaning intervals and frequency as well as the best

MOUNTING ADAPTERS – THREADED CONNECTIONS
Use these adapters to install sensors
with back facing threads into
process piping or sample tees. The
sensor screws into a plastic adapter
that is held in the process connector
by a union nut. The rear of the
adapter is threaded for a conduit
connection, if required. The union
connection allows the sensor to be
removed without the danger of
twisting and damaging the cable.
