2. Installation

The chemical cleaning pH measuring system can be installed indoor/outdoors. Choose an appropriate location (free from dust, sunlight, rain) for easy maintenance. Note that since the system uses water for washing and a chemical solution, care must be taken to ensure that these liquids are protected from freezing in winter.
Note: Install the PH201G distributor, which is required when using the 2-Wire Analyzer, in an
indoor location such as an instrument room.
This chapter explains the procedure for installing the component equipment, highlighting the PH8SM3 Chemical Cleaning Unit for the chemical cleaning system and the PH8HS3 holder.

2.1 Installing the PH8SM3 Chemical Cleaning Unit for a Chemical Cleaning System

2.1.1 Where to install the unit

Install the PH8SM3 operating unit for a chemical cleaning system in a location which meets the following requirements.
(1) Close to the pH measurement point (location where the PH8HS3 holder is installed)
2-1
The operating unit for the chemical cleaning system and the holder are connected via
electrical wiring as well as the piping through which the chemical solution is supplied. Keep the length of the tubing for supplying the chemical solution to a minimum (less than 10 m) in order to reduce piping resistance.
(2) The maximum tube length between the cleaning unit and the sensor holder is 10 m.
It is preferable to install the stand at the same level as the sensor holder. If this is impossible,
the stand can be installed a maximum of 2 m below the holder level. Installation above the holder level causes no problem.
(3) Easy access for maintenance work
The location must allow users to have an easy view of the display on the PH450G pH/ORP
Converter or 2-wire Analyzer FLXA202/FLXA21, and to operate the control box with ease
to set the pressure. Also, consider the ease of work required when relling the holding tank
with the chemical solution. Furthermore, secure the clearance for maintenance access shown in Figure 2.1.

<2. Installation>
(4) Ambient temperature is always maintained in the range of 0 to 45˚C
Check if there is any possibility that the cleaning chemical solution can freeze in winter or
if the pH/ORP Converter (or 2-Wire Analyzer) or the control box are subject to abnormal temperature rises from direct sunlight. A location exposed to constant high humidity is not desirable either.
(5) Free from vibration
The location must be free from such vibrations that might loosen piping connections.
(6) Free from corrosive gases
It is desirable that the location be free from any corrosive gas which may adversely affect
the components within the pH/ORP converter (or 2-Wire Analyzer) or the control box.

2.1.2 Installation Facilities

The PH8SM3 operating unit for the chemical cleaning system has a stand-alone construction and can be securely attached with nuts to anchor bolts set in a concrete base.
l Construction of concrete base to install operating unit for chemical cleaning system
The PH8SM3 operating unit of the chemical cleaning system weighs approximately 60 kg when
the tank is lled with the chemical solution. Consequently, the facilities must be strong enough to
hold the weight of the entire unit. The facilities must also provide good drainage, Prepare anchor bolts with M10 threads to secure the unit. Figure 2.2 shows how to set these anchor bolts in the installation site.

2.2 Installing the PH8HS3 Holder

2.2.1 Where to install the holder

The PH8HS3 holder must be installed in a location which is appropriate for pH measurement and
control and satises the following requirements.
(1) Safe and easy access for maintenance work.
This requirement must be satised since the holder is raised and removed when attaching/
detaching the pH sensor.
(2) Even in winter, the temperature must remain above that temperature at which the
chemical solution freezes.
Also, any condensation on the moving parts of the PH8HS3 holder cannot be allowed to
freeze.
(3) Protected from excessive dust in the air.
The presence of excessive dust may lead to an increased need to clean (removal of dust
from the cylinder).

2.2.2 Installation Facilities

The PH8HS3 holder is mounted on a 50A (OD: 60.5 mm) pipe installed in an upright position. Provide the installation location with facilities to set the pipes and inserting sensors Special attention must be paid to the following points when constructing these facilities:

(3) Assemble the PH8EFP pH sensor onto the sensor holder.
a. First remove the rubber cap on the top end of the sensor holder. Then thread the cable of
the pH sensor and the KCI supply tube from the bottom end of the sensor holder and then pull them out from the top end.
b. Insert the pH sensor into the sensor holder so the sensor ange contacts the bottom end of
the sensor holder.
Note: Two O-rings are used to seal the openings of the sensor holder to prevent the
measured solution from leaking into the holder.
c. Using the supplied parts (plate, clamp, screw and rubber sheet), attach the given latch
mechanism to the sensor cable to prevent the sensor and sensor holder from coming apart (see Figure 2.6).

(4) Fix the PH8HS3 holder to the pipe
CAUTION
When installing the holder, avoid any contamination or moist/wet on the tip of the sensor cable.
2-5
When xing the holder, make sure both of the following requirements are completely satised:
During measurement, the tip of the pH sensor must be submerged in the measured
solution.
Carefully observe any changes in the liquid level.
The bottom plate of the holder’s cleaning chamber must not become wet with the
measured solution.
Contamination of the gasket on the bottom plate by the solution will lead to a decrease in the
gasket’s sealing capability.
CAUTION
When the bottom plate of the holder’s cleaning chamber is open, good ventilation must attend its use
to prevent the holder from corrosive gas.
Figure 2.8 illustrates the PH8HS3 holder when it is installed.
<2. Installation>
Install the holder so the tip of the pH sensor drops into the measured solution to a depth of 30 to 90 mm.
2-6
Do not allow the bottom plate of the cleaning chamber to become submerged in the measured solution.
Measured solution

l Installing the medium-pressure KCl reserve tank
The KCl reserve tank supplied with the PH8EFP KCl-lling type pH sensor can be installed in the
operating unit for the chemical cleaning system (see Figure 1.1).
Note: Use an appropriate length of KCI supply tube for PH8EFP KCI supply PH sensor.
If installing the KCl reserve tank in other locations, choose a location which is higher than where the cleaning chamber of the PH8HS3 holder is positioned.
Note This is important to maintain the normal position of liquid junction even when the supply of the pressurizing
air stops.
After completing installation of the KCl reserve tank, connect the KCl supply tube of the pH
sensor to the outlet of the KCI reserve tank.
l Submersion of pH sensor when the measured solution ows fast.
Rapid and continuous ow of measured solution can give the sensor holder distortion, which
hampers the ascent/descent motion of the holder, therefore the result of the measurement may be affected. Appropriate installation must be guaranteed without distortion of the sensor holder.
If the ow of measured solution gives the sensor holder distortion, install the holder so the tip of
the pH sensor drops in to the solution to a depth of 30 to 90 mm. If this method is not available,
reduce the ow speed so that the distortion never occurs. For the stability of the measurement result as well, the ow speed must be 2 m/sec or less at a measuring point.

3.1.1 Line for Connecting Air Source

Air with a pressure of 300 to 950 kPa (3 to 9.5 kg/cm2) is supplied to the operating unit of the chemical cleaning system. Use a steel or stainless steel line with an inner diameter greater than 6 mm to connect the air source to piping port “A” (air) in the control box.
Note : The piping port is Rc1/4 thread or 1/4 NPT female-thread (as specied when ordering).
The maximum air consumption is approximately 10 normal litter/min.
3.1.2 Line for Actuating Cylinder to Drive Sensor
Pneumatically (Upward)
This line is provided to allow the pH sensor to be withdrawn from the measured solution during cleaning and then housed in the cleaning chamber. This line connects the holder (the piping port labelled “J”) with the control box (piping port “C” [the lower section of the cylinder] ). Use the tubing supplied with the system when connecting these ports.
3.1.3 Line for Actuating Cylinder to Drive Sensor
Pneumatically (Downward)
This line is provided to allow the pH sensor once housed in the cleaning chamber to be returned to a measurement position after cleaning. This line connects the holder (the piping port labelled “K”) with the control box (piping port “D” [the upper section of the cylinder]), Follow the same piping procedure as that discussed in Subsection 3.1.2.
3-2
3.1.4 Line for Forced Feeding of Chemical Solution and Air-
bubbling
This line is provided to supply air for forced feeding of approximately 100 ml of the chemical solution into the cleaning chamber during cleaning and then to bubble the chemical solution in the chamber. During piping, connect the control box (piping port “B” [forced feeding of chemical solution]) with the metering tank (piping port “F” [IN]) built in the holding tank for the chemical solution, Also, connect the metering tank (piping port “G” [OUT]) with the holder (piping port “H”). If the holding tank is positioned above the holder, always connect the tubing so at least a part of the tubing is positioned above the cleaning chamber. Failure to observe this instruction may
result in the chemical solution fed to the cleaning chamber owing back into the holding tank after
air bubbling.
Follow the same piping procedure as that discussed in Subsection 3.1.2.

3.1.5 Line for Pressurizing KCl Reserve Tank

An air pressure of approximately 10 kPa (0.1 kg/cm2) is applied to the KCI reserve tank for the pH sensor. Connect the outlet of the pressure reduction valve with the pneumatic connection
port of the KCI reserve tank. If so specied, the operating unit of the chemical cleaning system is
supplied with an “AS3” pressure reduction valve along with a polyethylene tube (10 m long) for piping

Connect the sensor cable so that the code on each core wire matches the corresponding
code on the PH450G pH/ORP Converter. For more information about sensor cable
connection, see the user’s manual “PH450G pH/ORP Converter.” Also refer to “WTB10 Relay Terminal Box” user’s manual if your system uses a relay terminal box.
CAUTION
The sensor cable and the KCI supply tube move up and down in synchronization with the sensor holder along the PH8HS3 holder. No slack in cable or tube is allowed. Provide an installation location to ensure that a smooth up-and-down motion takes place. The cable or tube may be damaged if, during the up-and-down motion, it comes into accidental contact with the PH8HS3 holder or other structures.
(2) Connection for DETECT UPPER LIMIT signal (signal for detecting the upper limit of
sensor holder’s position)
Use a two-core cable with an outer diameter of 9 to 12 mm for this connection. Treat both
ends of each cable core so they t M4 threads. Connect terminal 1 of the terminal block for
the limit switch of the PH8HS3 holder to terminal 8 of the control box, and terminal 2 with terminal 9.
Note: There will not be a problem if you connect terminal 1 with terminal 9 and terminal 2 with
terminal 8.
The cable inlet of the PH8HS3 holder is located on the right-hand side of the chassis’s upper
section. When wiring the cable, loosen the two screws and remove the cover (for protection against drips). After the completion of wiring, always make sure the cover is reinstalled in place.
IM 12B07W01-04EN 1st Edition : Nov 11, 2016-00
<3. Piping and Wiring>
(3) Connection for power supply and ground
<Connection for power supply>
A power supply voltage of 100 V AC ±10%, 50/60 Hz is applied to the power supply unit of
the chemical cleaning pH measuring system.
CAUTION
Chemical Cleaning pH Measuring System has no power switch. To avoid the possible hazard of electrical shock or damage to the instrument, always install a power switch (double-pole) in the power line.
NOTE
The fuse (1 A) in the power supply unit is installed for the pH/ORP converter. (The pH/ORP converter itself contains an additional power-line fuse (0.1 A)).
Use a two-core cable with an outer diameter of 9 to 12 mm for this connection. Treat both
ends of each core wire of the cable extending from the power supply so they t M-4 thread
and then connect them with terminals L1 and L2 of power supply unit.
3-5
<Connection for ground>
The control box and pH/ORP Converter of the system must be grounded with a grounding
resistance of less than 100Ω). The grounding terminal of the control box can be found in the
bottom of the control box casing. The grounding terminal of the pH/ORP Converter can be found in the bottom of the control box casing.
(4) Connection for contact output of CYLINDER FAIL signal
PH8SM3 Chemical Cleaning System outputs a CYLINDER FAIL contact signal. This
contact signal is output to let the operator know that a failure has occurred in the upward movement of the pneumatic cylinder of the PH8HS3 holder. The system uses the DETECT
UPPER LIMIT signal (the signal for detecting the upper limit of the sensor holder’s position)
discussed in step 2 above for this purpose.
The CYLINDER FAIL contact signal is given if the DETECT UPPER LIMIT signal is not
present even if the setting for timer T1 in the control box is reached. This connection is applied when the above function is used. Use a two-core cable with an outer diameter of 9
to 12 mm for this connection. Treat both ends of each core wire of the cable so they t M4
threads and then connect terminals 6 and 7 of the control box with the instrument being used, such as an annunciator. For the contact capacity and other details, see subsection
1.1.
(5) Connection for pH signal
PH450G pH/ORP Converter sends two 4 to 20 mA signal (pH, temperature) and receives
the contact input for cleaning start. Use a two-core cable with a nished outer diameter
of 9 to 12 mm for this connection. For the output signal from pH/ORP Converter, connect the terminals “mA1 +” or “mA1 -” to those corresponding terminals at the receiving instrument. For the second output signal, connect the terminals “mA2 +” or “mA2 -” to those corresponding terminals at the receiving instrument.The terminal CONTACT on a pH/ORP Converter is for connection of remote contact input. For cable shield, connect a cable to the terminal SHLD.
CAUTION
Connect the cable shield to the grounding at pH/ORP converter.

A power supply voltage of 100V AC ±10%, 50/60 Hz is box of the PH8HS3 operating unit of
the chemical cleaning system.
CAUTION
The chemical cleaning pH measuring system has no power switch. To avoid the possible hazard of electrical shock or damage to the instrument, always install a power switch (double-pole) in the power line.
Use a two-core cable with an outer diameter of 9 to 12 mm for this connection. Treat both
ends of each core wire of the cable extending from the power supply so they t M4 thread
and then connect them with terminal1 and 2 on the control box. For information on the
distributor power supply, refer to the user’s manual “PH201G Distributor”.
Note Power voltage or connection varies depending on the specication of distributors.
<Connection for ground>
The control box and pH transmitter of the chemical cleaning pH measuring system must
be grounded with a grounding resistance of less than 100Ω. The grounding terminal of
the control box can be found in the bottom of the control box casing. As for the grounding terminal of the 2-Wire Analyzer, refer to the corresponding instruction manual.
3-7
(4) Connection for contact output of CYLINDER FAIL signal
The chemical cleaning system outputs the CYLINDER FAIL contact signal. The contact
signal is output to let the operator know that a failure has occurred in the upward movement of the pneumatic cylinder of the PH8HS3 holder. The system uses the DETECT UPPER LIMIT signal discussed in step 2 above for this purpose.
The CYLINDER FAIL contact signal is given when DETECT UPPER LIMIT is not signaled
even if the setting for timer T1 in the control box is reached. This connection is applied when the above function is used. Follow the same procedure as for the two-wire pH
transmitter system. Use a two-core cable with a nished outer diameter of 9 to 12 mm for this connection. Treat both ends of each core wire of the cable so they t M4 threads and
then connect terminals 6 and 7 of the control box with the instrument being used, such as an annunciator.
Note: For the contact capacity and other details, see Subsection 1.1.
(5) Connection for pH signal
To PH201G distributor, 2-Wire Analyzer FLXA202 or FLXA21 sends a 4 to 20 mA output
signal and 2 mAp-p <WASH> signal which is superimposed on the 4 to 20 mA DC signal.
The distributor outputs 1 to 5 V DC signal. Use a double-core shielded cable with a nished
outer diameter of 9 to 12 mm for this connection. For wiring between 2-Wire Analyzer and the distributor, connect + terminal of 2-Wire Analyzer to terminal A of the distributor, and connect a minus terminal to terminal B. Shiled of cables must be connected to the ground terminal G of the 2-Wire Analyzer.
Connect output cables to each corresponding terminal on the distributor or receptor, such as
terminal C, or D. Shield of cables must be grounded on each receptor side.
(6) Connection for contact input of WASH (cleaning) signal
Use a double-core shielded cable with a nished outer diameter of 9 to 12 mm for this
connection. Treat both ends of each core wire of the cable so they t M4 threads and then
connect terminals 4 and 5 of the control box with the distributor terminal e and terminal f.

4.2 How the Chemical Cleaning pH Measuring System Works

4.2.1 Operating Modes

There are two operating modes in the chemical cleaning pH measuring system: the measurement mode and cleaning mode.
l Measurement mode
The system performs pH measurement. The sensor holder is in its lowest position, submerging the pH electrodes in the chemical solution.
l WASH (Cleaning)mode
The sensor holder begins rising from its lowest position by way of the wash command, performs cleaning of the pH electrodes and then goes into the measurement mode again. The cleaning mode includes the relaxation interval required after the washing sequence. In the wash mode, it is possible to hold the output signal as a certain value, such as the last value before the WASH mode starts.

4.2.2 WASH (Cleaning) Command

4-3
WASH command in normal operation is issued from the pH/ORP converter or the 2-Wire analyzers at the intervals set in these instruments. For the pH measuring system for outdoor use, the WASH command can be issued on demand using a remote contact input. A WASH command sent from the pH/ORP converter or 2-wire analyzers consists of two time elements, i.e., the washing time and the relaxation interval.
Chemical cleaning can also be implemented using the MANUAL Wash (cleaning) switch in the control box. Turning on this switch causes the chemical cleaning pH measuring system to enter
the wash mode; turning off causes the system to exit from the wash sequence. Note that, when
washing is carried out using the MANUAL WASH switch, neither the pH/ORP converter nor the 2-Wire analyzer performs the functions (such as a holding of the output signal) available in the wash mode.
If there is a conict between a WASH command sent from the pH/ORP converter or 2-wire
analyzer and the same command issued with the MANUAL WASH switch in the control box, the sensor holder behaves according to the timing diagram shown in Figure 4.3.

Note: The interval between wash, washing cycle(time) and relaxation interval are set on the pH/ORP Converter or 2-Wire Analyzer. Hold of the pH output signal is implemented only in the washing sequence (WASH mode) initiated by a command issued from the pH/ORP converter or 2-Wire Analyzer. Hold can be off, too. Forced air feeding / Air bubbling of chemical solution continues for a determined length of time ( set in Timer T2) only after the sensor holder moves from Lowest position to Highest position.

Figure 4.4 WASH Sequence
l Output of WASH (cleaning) signal
When the setting the interval between WASH (in pH/ORP Converter or 2-Wire Analyzer ) times out, the system enters the WASH sequence. The WASH signal is then output to the control box of the operating unit in the chemical cleaning system for the period equivalent to the value set in the timer.
l Actuation of SV2 solenoid valve
The SV2 solenoid valve in the control box is active while it is receiving the WASH signal. This causes a pneumatic pressure to be applied to the port that raises the cylinder on the PH8HS3 holder. Consequently, the sensor holder goes up in conjunction with the cylinder slider.
l Output of DETECT UPPER LIMIT signal and CYLINDER FAIL signal
When the sensor holder reaches the upper limit, the bottom plate of the cleaning chamber closes and the limit switch is turned on. The ON signal from the limit switch then starts timer T2 in the control box, causing solenoid valve SV1 to be actuated (the valve is opened). Solenoid valve SV1, when opened, causes a pneumatic pressure to be applied to the interior of the metering tank, resulting in an approximately 100 ml of the chemical solution being forced into the cleaning chamber of the holder. The air is kept supplied until timer T2 times out, bubbling the chemical solution within the cleaning chamber to enhance the cleaning of the pH sensor electrodes.
Note that if the sensor holder does not reach the upper limit when timer T1, which starts at the same time the WASH signal is output, is timed out, the CYLINDER FAIL signal is given. This signal stops (the contact opens) when the WASH contact signal is no longer present.
IM 12B07W01-04EN 1st Edition : Nov 11, 2016-00
<4. Operation>
l End of WASH sequence
When the WASH time elapses, the WASH contact signal stops. The air circuit for solenoid valve SV2 switches to apply a pneumatic pressure to the port that lowers the cylinder. The sensor holder goes down and the bottom plate of the cleaning chamber opens, causing the chemical solution within the cleaning chamber to drain out. The pH/ORP Converter (or 2-Wire Analyzer) then enters a relaxation interval after the WASH time has elapsed. The pH/ORP Converter or 2-Wire ajayzer still holds the output signal during that period (if HOLD OUTPUT SIGNAL is selected). The display indicates *WASH (blinking) meaning that the system is in the WASH sequence.
The sensor holder is in the lowest position, allowing the electrodes of the pH sensor to be submerged in the chemical solution and waiting for the relaxation interval to elapse so the system enters the measurement mode.

4.3 Startup

The following procedures must be observed before the chemical cleaning pH measuring system is put into regular operation.

4.3.1 Inspection of Piping and Wiring

Verify that all of the lines and cables are connected correctly (refer to Section 3, “Piping and Wiring.” Also make sure that there is no slack in piping couplings and that terminal covers in the control box are in place.
4-5

4.3.2 Supplying Chemical Solution to Holding Tank

The system uses a chemical solution, such as a 2 to 10 % solution of diluted hydrochloric acid or diluted sulfuric acid, that can remove contaminants adhering to the pH sensor. The holding tank for the solution has an effective capacity of approximately 17 litters. Fill the tank with this amount of solution. When preparing a solution using concentrated hydrochloric acid (e.g., commercially available hydrochloric acid with a concentration of 37 %) or concentrated sulfuric acid (e.g., commercially available sulfuric acid with a concentration of 96 %), prepare the solution in a separate container and then transfer it to the tank.
WARNING
Hydrochloric and sulfuric acids are physically hazardous to the human body. In addition, these acids can corrode metallic parts if the acids come into contact with equipment. When using either of these acids in high concentrations to prepare a chemical solution, exercise the utmost care to avoid possible hazards. Follow proper handling procedures when diluting these acids.
When lling the holding tank with the chemical solution remove the metering tank.
After lling the tank, replace the metering tank.
l How the metering tank works
A certain volume (100 ml) of a chemical solution is measured by using the difference in height between two tubes: pressurized tube F and force-feeding tube G. A solution is introduced from the holding tank (TK) to the metering tank through the check valve (seat) at the bottom of the metering tank. The air in the tank is vented to the atmosphere through the air vent (bleed) on the top of tube F until the solution level reaches the bottom of tube F. When the instrument enters the WASH mode, force-feeding air pressure is added to tube F, the check valve closes, and the volume for one wash is approximately 100 ml, which is metered based on the difference in height
between the two tubes’ bottoms in the metering tank.

4.3.3 Supplying KCl Solution to Reserve Tank

Fill the KCl reserve tank for the pH sensor with a KCl solution. After lling the tank, follow the necessary procedures, such as removal of air from inside the sensor unit. Refer to user’s
manual, “PH8EFP KCl Filling type pH Sensor” to do the necessary work.

4.3.4 Adjustment of Pneumatic Pressure

(1) Rotate the knobs on the pressure reduction valves (two) in the control box fully counter
clockwise. Pull the red ring around the knob toward you to turn the knob. If the operating unit is equipped with an AS3 pressure reduction valve, also rotate the knob on this valve fully counter clockwise.
(2) Supply air (pressure: 300 to 950 kPa {3 to 9.5 kg/cm
valve located in the line for connecting the air source.
(3) Adjust the pressure of the air for forced feeding of the chemical solution (the air is also used
to purge the interior of the control box). Slowly rotate the knob on pressure reduction valve AS1 clockwise until pressure gauge PG1 in the control box indicates a reading of 20 to 50 kPa {0.2 to 0.5 kg/cm

(4) Adjust the pressure of the air for actuating the cylinder. Slowly rotate the knob on pressure
reduction valve AS2 clockwise until pressure gauge PG2 in the control box indicates a reading of 300 kPa {3 kg/cm
2
}. A pneumatic pressure is then applied to the “Down” port of the cylinder in the PH8HS3 holder and forces the sensor holder to move down to the lower end together with the cylinder slider.
(5) Apply a pneumatic pressure of approximately 10 kPa {0.1 kg/cm
2
} to the KCl reserve tank. If the PH8HS3 holder is equipped with an AS3 pressure reduction valve, use the valve to do this. Slowly rotate the knob clockwise while observing the reading of the pressure gauge on the valve.

<4. Operation>
4.3.5 Setting Duration of Forced Feeding of Chemical
Solution and Output of CYLINDER FAIL Signal
The timers in the control box are used to set the time for forced feeding of the chemical solution and output of the CYLINDER FAIL signal. Use timer T2 (setting range: 0 to 10 minutes) to set the
time for forced feeding of the chemical solution; use timer T1 (setting range: 0 to 2 minutes) to set
the time for output of the CYLINDER FAIL signal.
Note: The adjustment screw on timer T1 is hidden under the terminal cover.
Upon shipment, the time for forced feeding length of the chemical solution is set to approximately two minutes. Similarly, the time for output of the CYLINDER FAIL signal is set to approximately
30 seconds. Conrm these settings and change them, if necessary.
Note: Always make sure that the value set on timer T2 for forced feeding length of the chemical
solution is smaller than that for the WASH time (output of the WASH contact signal).
Note: that both of these timers have graduations which divide an angle of approximately 270°
(corresponding to the setting range) into ve identical segments as shown in Figure 4.6. Use a at-blade screwdriver to rotate the adjustment screw so the end of the slot on the screw
head (on the side painted in white) points to the desired time setting.

4.3.7 Entering Data Related to WASH Operation

Parameters related to WASH operation include, besides the data items discussed in Subsection
4.3.5, the interval between WASHs, WASH time and relaxation interval,
These parameters are set on the PH450G or FLXA202/FLXA21.
Upon shipment, these data settings are provided as shown in Table 4.1. Conrm these settings
before operation and change them as necessary.
For operation required to verify or change these settings, see the instruction manuals of PH450G or FLXA202/FLXA21.

4.3.8 Verifying WASH Operation

First conrm that the PH8HS3 holder is properly installed to ensure that:
(1) The tip of the pH sensor is always submerged in the measured solution in the measurement
mode even if the liquid level varies.
(2) The bottom plate of the cleaning chamber does not become submerged in the measured
solution.
Next turn on the MANUAL WASH switch in the control box and conrm that the chemical
cleaning system operates normally to ensure that:
(3) The sensor holder rises at the same time the switch is turned on and reaches the upper limit
smoothly without delay (before the CYLINDER FAIL signal is output).
Setting up on Shipment
8 hours (setting range: 0.1 to 36.0 hours)
4 minutes (setting range: 0.1 to 10 minutes)
30 seconds (setting range: 0.1 to 10 minutes)
Note: When the sensor holder reaches the upper limit, the DETECT UPPER LIMIT signal is
output.
(4) No chemical solution leaks from the gasket on the bottom plate of the cleaning chamber.
(5) The sensor holder descends smoothly without delay at the same time the switch is turned
off.
After completing verication of these operations, have the PH450G or the FLXA202/FLXA21
output the WASH contact signal to make sure that the WASH operation of the chemical cleaning pH measuring system is carried out properly.
Note: Shorten the preset interval between WASHs to approximately 30 minutes when
performing the WASH operation. Note that the pH converter system for outdoor use can also be put into the WASH operation by using a remote contact-input signal.

4.3.9 Calibration with Standard Solution

Before starting regular operation, apply calibration with a standard solution. Refer to the instruction manual supplied with PH450G or FLXA202/FLXA21.

4.4 Regular Operation

After completion of required startup procedures, you can put your system into regular operation. This section deals with items for routine inspection during regular operation and precautions that must be observed when shutting down the system.

4.4.1 Data Acquisition in Early Stages of Operation

Implementing WASH too often will lead to a waste of the chemical solution, making your system uneconomical. It is, therefore, often advantageous for the number of cleanings to be reduced,
provided that this ensures that the measurement error always falls within the specied range,
The settings for the parameters related to the cleaning operation are provided upon shipment, assuming that the system is used for a process under standard conditions. Consequently, it is
possible for you to perform more efcient cleaning depending on your process condition.
IM 12B07W01-04EN 1st Edition : Nov 11, 2016-00
<4. Operation>
The manufacturer recommends that, in the early stages of operation, you choose from the following parameters that can be changed and then change them at regular intervals to verify the
cleaning effect so you can nd the optimum conditions for cleaning.
• Concentration of chemical solution (No data is required to change.)
Interval between WASHs
WASH time
Bubbling time

4.4.2 Inspections During Regular Operation

Routine inspection must be made according to the items shown in Table 4.2 to ensure that the chemical cleaning system is free from faults during regular operation. For inspection and maintenance implemented during a system shutdown to maintain system performance, see Chapter 5. For details on the items of inspection for the FLXA202/FLXA21, PH450G pH/ORP converter or PH8EFP pH sensor, refer to those corresponding manuals.

If your system requires immediate corrective actions as a result of inspection, perform the necessary maintenance work while observing safety precautions.
WARNING
There is a possibility of personal injury or equipment damage during maintenance of the holder. Exercise utmost care to ensure that no cleaning takes place during maintenance work.
(Corrective Action When Criterion Is Not Met)
Acceptance Criterion
The tank must holds not less than the required amount (the
level indicated on the tank). (Rell the tank if the liquid is below the specied level.)
The cylinder must be free of contaminants that would prevent it sliding properly. In addition, any applied lubricating grease must provide good 1ttbrication (the cylinder starts moving smoothly).
The PG1 and PG2 pressure gauges en the AS1 and AS2 pressure reduction valves must indicate their preset readings, respectively. (If they fail to indicate the preset readings, adjust them.)
The wetted part must be free of any contaminants that could get into the cleaning chamber while the sensor holder was rising or descending.

4.4.3 Behaviour During Power Failure/Restart

The sensor holder moves to its lowest position and stays there, whether the system is in the measurement mode or the WASH mode, if a power interruption lasts longer than the allowable time for a momentary power failure in which the system is able to maintain normal operation. The system resets to the measurement mode when restarted. It goes into the WASH mode, however, if the MANUAL WASH switch in the control box is left turned on.

4.4.4 Operation When Shutting Down the System

It is fundamental to system operation that the pH sensor be maintained in excellent working condition and that the system be able to resume normal pH measurement when it is restarted.
Follow the instructions given here before cutting off the power supply.
<4. Operation>
(1) Turn on the MANUAL WASH switch in the control box to execute the WASH operation.
(2) Remove the sensor holder after the air bubbling in step 1 is completed.
Submerge the pH sensor in water. Leave the sensor in the water until the system is
restarted in order to prevent the glass lm on the sensor electrodes from drying out.
CAUTION
Always reinstall the cover which you have removed in order to remove the sensor holder from the chassis. Particular caution must be taken if the system is installed in a location exposed to rain. A wet terminal block of the limit switch will result in corroded cables.
(3) Turn off the MANUAL WASH switch and cut off the power supply.
(4) To prevent loss of the chemical solution in the KCl reserve tank during a system shutdown
over a prolonged period, close the pressure reduction valve for air that pressurizes the tank. lf you are also shutting down the air supply, you need not close the valve.

4.4.5 Procedure When Restarting System Operation

Follow the instructions below when restarting system operation. If the system is restarted after a
prolonged shutdown, conrm that the chemical cleaning system is free from problems.
(1) If the air supply has been cut off, supply air at the specied pressure,
4-10
(2) Conrm the settings of each pressure reduction valve. Adjust them if they fail to indicate the
required readings.
(3) Attach the sensor holder to the cylinder of the PH8HS3 holder.
(4) Supply power to the chemical cleaning system.
(5) Turn on the MANUAL CLEANING switch in the control box to verify that the system
performs cleaning normally. Turn off the switch when you have completed verication.
(6) Calibrate the pH converter or the pH transmitter with a standard solution.

<5. Inspection and Maintenance>

5. Inspection and Maintenance

We recommend product inspection and maintenance be implemented once a year regularly. Annual inspection and maintenance requires system operation shut down , still it is highly valuable for the sustainable system performance. Refer to sub section 4.4.2 to check the
itemised inspection and maintenance, such as relling the tank with chemical solution, required
to maintain normal system operation. For inspection and maintenance of PH450G pH/ORP
Converter, FLXA202/FLXA21, and PH8EFP pH sensor, refer to the corresponding user’s
manuals supplied with each of these instrument.

5.1 Inspection and Maintenance of Operating Unit for PH8SM3 Chemical Cleaning System

5.1.1 Inspection of Piping (between chemical cleaning
chamber and holder)
Inspect the lines running from the chemical cleaning unit to the holder to ensure that they have no physical damage or no loosening in the couplings. If any defect, such as physical damage, is found, replace these lines. In addition, if the tubing for forced feeding of the chemical solution is
contaminated with dirt which may affect the ow of uid, replace the tubing.
Always use tubing Ø6 x Ø 4 mm in size for the tubing. Use same length of tubing even after the tube is replaced. For piping procedures to pipe between chemical solution tank and holder cleaning chamber, you need tubes with chemical resistance. For further information, see Subsection 3.1.
5-1
l Replacement and material of tubings.
Chemical Cleaning pH measuring system uses polyethylene or Fluoropolymer((PTFE)) tubing because thet have excellent chemical resistance and provide easy piping. These materials, however, show limited weather resistance. It is, therefore, recommended that you replace the
tubing including ttings, once every year or two even if you do not observe any anomaly (for
example, extensive deterioration in the material). If polyethylene tubing seems to be easily deteriorated due to its outdoor use, other material tubing such as Fluoropolymer((PTFE)) may be appropriate.
When piping your system with using materials other than polyethylene tubing, take note of the following:
• Use metal tubing with the size 6 (OD) x 4 (ID) mm even when installing a dedicated pneumatic line (between the control box and air cylinder). In that case, use a tting for metal
tubing (Rc l/4 connection).
For piping for the forced feeding of a chemical solution, choose a resistant material such as Fluoropolymer (PTFE). When using Fluoropolymer (PTFE) tubing, select dedicated tting (Rc 1/4 connection). Using regular ttings may cause piping disconnected.

5.1.2 Inspection of Solenoid Valves

Conrm that air is not getting into the holding tank for the chemical solution while the SV1
solenoid valve in the control box for forced feeding of the solution remains closed.
The valve must be replaced if there is any air leakage.
<5. Inspection and Maintenance>
5-2

5.1.3 Replacement of Fuses in the Power Supply Box

This procedure applies only when your system is a pH/ORP Converter. The power supply box of the operating unit contains a fuse (1 A rating) for the power supply circuit of the pH converter. No pH measurement is possible if this fuse blows. It is, therefore, recommended that you replace the fuse once every two years even if you do not observe any anomaly with it.
Note: The PH450G pH/converter also contains a 0.1 A fuse. Refer to the maintenance parts list
of PH450G.

5.2 Inspection and Maintenance of PH8HS3 Holder

5.2.1 Removing Foreign Matter from Wetted Part of Sensor
Holder
Chemical cleaning can remove only such dirt that is on the pH sensor unit. If the sensor holder itself is also wetted with the measured solution, manually remove dirt if the dirt cannot be cleared by chemical cleaning function. An excessive amount of dirt on the holder may lead to anomaly of performance because the cleaning chamber or pneumatic cylinder are affected by their contamination which is made while the sensor holder is rising.
5.2.2 Inspecting Gasket on the Bottom Plate of Cleaning
Chamber
Put the PH8HS3 holder into the WASH mode (turn on the MANUAL WASH switch in the control box) to inspect the gasket for leaks. If there is any leaking of chemical solution, the following are the possible major causes:
• The sealing surface of the gasket is dirty.
The gasket is slightly out of shape, resulting in its failure to maintain a proper seal with an
even force.
The gasket is damaged due to deterioration of the material.
If solution is leaking from the seal because of a deteriorated gasket, replace the gasket. If an unevenness in the pressure applied to the seal is responsible for leakage (or if the gasket has been replaced), follow the procedure below to adjust the height of the stopper.
Make this adjustment with the system set in the cleaning mode.
(1) Loosen the locknut on the stopper.
(2) Adjust the height of the stopper so the solution stops leaking from the seal. (Adjust the
stopper to a height which ensures that the sealing surface of the gasket is level with the bottom surface of the cleaning chamber and the entire sealing surface comes into contact
with the bottom of the chamber with an even pressure.) If the chamber is empty, ll it with
approximately 100 ml of water to make this adjustment.
If the solution leaks signicantly even after you have adjusted the height of the stopper,
adjust (increase) the force of the spring that produces the pressure around the gasket.
a. Loosen the spring locknut above the spring (turn the locknut counter clockwise).
b. Turn the Spring-adjustment nut clockwise until the solution stops leaking.
Note: The typical force of the spring is 45 N {4.5 kgf} (where the spring contracts approximately
10 mm). If the solution does not stop leaking even when a pressure close to this value is applied, there may be another cause of the leak.

WARNING
When highly concentrated sulfuric acid or hydrochloric acid are used, remove those remaining solutions in the cleaning chamber before starting cleaning.
Sulfuric acid or hydrochloric acid at high-concentration level causes serious damage to human health and corrosive characteristics to metals. Use proper care to handle these solutions.
5.2.3 Cleaning and Lubricating Pneumatic Cylinder for
Driving the Sensor Holder
The slider on the pneumatic cylinder for driving the sensor holder slides along the cylinder barrel. Inspect the barrel to make sure that it is free from any foreign matter or dirt. If the barrel is contaminated with dust which will prevent the slider from moving properly, use a clean cloth to remove the dust. The slider may stay at its lowest position for a prolonged period depending on the interval between cleanings. If the slider has been in this position for a long time, it may fail to start moving smoothly at a preset pneumatic pressure. Wipe off any dust on the cylinder, if any.
If your system has the air cylinder cover, remove the cover to inspect and clean. How to remove the cover is as follows. When you restore the cover again go backward the procedure.
(1) Keep the sensor holder at the lowest position ( measuring position ).
(2) Remove all 4 screws that x the cover(up and down , 2 screws for each.)
(3) Slide the cover upward to take off.

5.2.4 Inspecting O-rings on Sensor Holder

There are two O-rings attached where the pH sensor is installed in the sensor holder to prevent the measured solution from getting inside the sensor holder (see Figure 4.2). Remove the pH
sensor from the holder and conrm that the chemical solution is not leaking into the holder. If the
solution is leaking into the holder, replace both of these O-rings.
When replacing the O-rings, completely wipe off any solution that has leaked into the sensor holder. Exercise extra care to remove dirt, which may impair the sealing capability of the O-rings, from where the O-rings are installed.

5.2.5 Inspecting Terminal Block for Limit Switch

Remove the cover at the upper section of the chassis. Make sure the terminal block for the limit switch is clean. If the terminal block is contaminated with dust or dirt, clean it.
Also check the conductors and terminals of the cable to ensure that there is no anomaly (such as corrosion) which may lead to broken wires. If there is any possibility of problems, eliminate such possibilities by restoring the terminal block to its normal state.

6. Troubleshooting

This chapter deals with the corrective actions taken when the system fails to operate normally due to, for example, a failure in components. For malfunctions regarding the PH450G pH/ ORP Converter or FLXA202/FLXA21 2-Wire Analyzer and PH8EFP pH sensor, refer to the
correspondng user’s manual supplied with these instruments.

6.1 More Than 100 ml of Chemical Solution at a Time Is Being Fed to Holder

The primary reason is that air may be leaking from the O-ring in the metering tank. Since an excessive air leak allows the chemical solution to enter the metering tank up to the level of the surface of the liquid in the holding tank, more than the required quantity (approximately 100 ml) of the chemical solution is supplied.
l Corrective action
Tighten the cap fully. If the air leak still persists, check the cylinder barrel for possible cracks and the O-ring for possible defects. Replace defective components, if necessary.

after the air bubbling.

6.2 A Smaller Quantity of Chemical Solution Is Fed to Holder

One of the reasons for this is that the thin covering in the bottom of the metering tank does not
serve as a check valve. Normally, the covering shuts off the uid inlet when the appropriate pneumatic pressure is applied to the metering tank, resulting in the liquid inside owing only into the holder. If the covering fails to shut off the uid inlet due to deterioration or damage, the liquid inside ows back into the holding tank, thus allowing a smaller quantity of the liquid to be sent to
the holder.
l Corrective action
Inspect the thin covering and replace it if deteriorated or damaged.
NOTE
lf no defects are found in the thin covering, check for possible leakage around the SV1 solenoid valve used for forced feeding of the chemical solution which is located in the control box. If air
ows through the valve while it remains closed, replace it with a new valve. Also, check the chemical solution in the cleaning chamber for traces that shows the chemical solution owed
back into the chemical tank. If the bleed valve (see Figure 6.1) has become clogged due to a
reverse ow of the solution, the system is no longer able to measure the specied quantity of
solution. If the bleed valve is clogged, clean it.

6.3 CYLINDER FAIL Signal Appears

Possible causes are:
• There is slack in the connections of the line for driving the cylinder.
• The specied pneumatic pressure is not possible.
The cylinder barrel of the PH8HS3 is dirty.
The capability of the lubricating grease applied to the cylinder barrel has degraded.
• Limit switch circuits have anomaly.
First conrm that the PG2 pressure gauge in the control box indicates the preset value (with
the system set in the cleaning mode). If the gauge reads smaller than the preset value, readjust
it after conrming that the connections are not loosened. When the slide of the cylinder is in a
upper position, refer to 6.5 and proceed along with it.
Next remove dirt from the cylinder barrel and then apply a thin lm of grease to the barrel.
6.4 When Liquid keeps leaking from bottom
plate of Cleaning Chamber
THe continuous leakage even after replacement of the gasket and adjustment of the height of the stopper (see Subsection 5.2.2) may be caused by the reduced pressure of the spring due to deterioration (corrosion) of its material. Inspect the spring visually and replace it if it is defective.
l How to replace spring
(1) Remove the two screws which secure the guide plate to the chassis.
(2) Remove the screw set at the tip of the rod.
(3) Remove the assembled components, such as the guide plate, from the rod.
IM 12B07W01-04EN 1st Edition : Nov 11, 2016-00
<6. Troubleshooting>
(4) Put a new spring in place. Also replace the washer, spring-adjustment nut, locknut and
guide plate removed in step (3) as well as the screw removed in step (2).
(5) Taking precautions against problems in vertical movement of the rod, secure the guide plate
to the chassis (with screws).
(6) Adjust the pressure of the spring.
First, x the bottom plate of the cleaning chamber (temporarily with tape) to where the
gasket makes slight contact with the bottom edge of the chamber.
Next, screw the spring-adjustment nut into the rod so the spring tightens as it contracts by
approximately 9 mm (pressure of spring: approximately 40 N {4 kgf}).
(7) Tighten the locknut.

6.5 Chemical Solution Cannot Be Fed into Cleaning Chamber

Timer T2 may fail to come into action although the slider on the cylinder has reached the top end of the cylinder barrel. Consequently, none of the chemical solution is forcibly fed into the cleaning chamber (i.e., solenoid valve SV1 does not open). One of the reasons is an erroneous DETECT UPPER LIMIT signal (or the signal is not present).
If this failure occurs, always proceed as follows: First make sure cleaning sequence is nished
and the slider on the cylinder is positioned at the bottom end. Then check the cable wired to the terminal block for the limit switch.
WARNING
Electrical shock hazards:
Short-circuited cable between terminal 1 and 2 on the terminal box for the limit switch, an electrical current of 24 VDC, 50 mA maximum passes.
lf any abnormality, such as a broken wire, is found, remedy it. lf you cannot point out any abnormality in the wiring or localize the cause of failure, contact our sales ofce.
