Calibrate the sensor

About sensor calibration

Calibration adjusts the sensor reading to match the value of one or more reference solutions. The sensor characteristics slowly shift over time and cause the sensor to lose accuracy. The sensor must be calibrated regularly to maintain accuracy. The calibration frequency varies with the application and is best determined by experience.

A temperature element is used to provide pH readings that are automatically adjusted to 25 °C for temperature changes that affect the active and reference electrode. This adjustment can be manually set by the customer if the process temperature is constant.

During calibration, data is not sent to the datalog. Thus, the datalog can have areas where the data is intermittent.

pH calibration procedure

Sensors can be calibrated with 1 or 2 reference solutions (1-point or 2- point calibration). Standard buffers are automatically recognized. Make sure that the correct buffer set is used (refer to Change calibration options on page 15).

1. 1.       1. Put the sensor in the first reference solution. Make sure that the sensor portion of the probe is fully immersed in the liquid **(Figure 4)**.

Maintenance

WARNING

Personal injury hazard. Only qualified personnel should conduct the tasks described in this section of the manual.

Maintenance schedule

The maintenance schedule shows minimum times for regular maintenance tasks. Perform maintenance tasks more frequently for applications that cause electrode fouling.

Clean the sensor

WARNING

| **** Chemical exposure hazard. Obey laboratory safety procedures and wear all of the personal protective equipment appropriate to the chemicals that are handled. Refer to the current safety data sheets (MSDS/SDS) for safety protocols.

WARNING

Personal injury hazard. Removal of a sensor from a pressurized vessel can be dangerous. Installation and removal of these sensors should be done by individuals trained in proper high pressure and temperature installation. Always use industry approved hardware and safety procedures when dealing with high pressure and/or temperature fluid transport systems.

Pre-requisite: Prepare a mild soap solution with a non-abrasive dishwashing detergent that does not contain lanolin. Lanolin leaves a film on the electrode surface that can degrade the sensor performance. Examine the sensor periodically for debris and deposits. Clean the sensor when there is a buildup of deposits or when performance has degraded.

1. Use a clean, soft cloth to remove loose debris from the end of the sensor. Rinse the sensor with clean, warm water.
2. Soak the sensor for 2 to 3 minutes in the soap solution.
3. Use a soft bristle brush to scrub the entire measuring end of the sensor.
4. If debris remains, soak the measuring end of the sensor in a dilute acid solution such as < 5% HCl for a maximum of 5 minutes.
5. Rinse the sensor with water and then return to the soap solution for 2 to 3 minutes.
6. Rinse the sensor with clean water.
   Note: Sensors with antimony electrodes for HF applications may require
   additional cleaning. Contact technical support.

Always calibrate the sensor after maintenance procedures are done.

Replace the salt bridge

Differential sensors have a removable salt bridge (Figure 6). If the sensor has been cleaned but fails calibration, replace the salt bridge and the standard cell solution. Refer to the instructions included with the salt bridge.

Figure 6 Salt bridge

Always calibrate the sensor after maintenance procedures.

Troubleshooting

Intermittent data

During calibration, data is not sent to the datalog. Thus, the datalog can have areas where the data is intermittent.

Test the pH sensor

Pre-requisites: Two pH buffers and a multimeter. If a calibration fails, first complete the maintenance procedures in Maintenance on page 16.

1. Put the sensor in a pH 7 buffer solution and wait for the temperature of the sensor and buffer to reach room temperature.

2. Disconnect the red, green, yellow and black sensor wires from the module.

3. Measure the resistance between the yellow and black wires to verify the operation of the temperature element. The resistance should be between 250 and 350 ohms at approximately 25 ºC. If the temperature element is good, reconnect the yellow and black wires to the module.

4. Measure the DC mV with the multimeter (+) lead connected to the red wire and the (–) lead connected to the green wire. The reading should be between –50 and + 50 mV. If the reading is outside of these limits, clean the sensor and change
   the salt bridge and standard cell solution.

5. With the multimeter still connected the same way, rinse the sensor with water and put it in a pH 4 or pH 10 buffer solution. Wait for the temperature of the sensor and buffer to reach room temperature.

6. Compare the mV reading in the pH 4 or 10 buffer to the reading in the pH 7 buffer. The reading should differ by approximately 160 mV. If the difference is less than 160 mV, call technical support.

Test the ORP sensor

Pre-requisites: 200 mV ORP reference solution, multimeter. If a calibration fails, first complete the maintenance procedures in Maintenance on page 16.

1. Put the sensor in a 200 mV reference solution and wait for the temperature of the sensor and solution to reach room temperature.

2. Disconnect the red, green, yellow and black sensor wires from the module.

3. Measure the resistance between the yellow and black wires to verify the operation of the temperature element. The resistance should be between 250 and 350 ohms at approximately 25 ºC.
   If the temperature element is good, reconnect the yellow and black wires to the module.

4. Measure the DC mV with the multimeter (+) lead connected to the red wire and the (–) lead connected to the green wire. The reading should be between 160 and 240 mV.
   If the reading is outside of these limits, call technical support.
