GENErAL iNFOrmATiON
1 General Information
1.1 Intended Use
The VisiTrace mA sensors are intended for the measurement of dissolved oxygen
(DO) in aqueous solutions in ppb range from 0 – 2000 ppb. The VisiTrace mA
sensor is certified for use in explosive atmosphere. If these sensors are used
in explosive atmospheres, the instructions in the chapter 3.3 must be
followed. If the sensor is used in contact with gaseous or liquid organic
solvents, the resulting measurement accuracy in this application must be
separately checked and validated by the customer.
ATTENTiON! The VisiTrace mA sensor has a built-in temperature sensor (NTC
22k). This temperature sensor is to be used only for monitoring the sensor
conditions, not for controlling the process temperature.
ATTENTiON! The measurement values transmitted over wireless communication are
not intended to be used for process control.
ATTENTiON! The VisiTrace mA sensor can only be autoclaved with the
corresponding autoclavation cap.
NOTE: The VisiTrace mA shaft is made of stainless steel compliant with
biopharma requirements (Stainless steel 1.4435). Because of manufacturing
process, different stainless steel heat numbers may be used. For the wetted
steel surfaces > 1%, the corresponding material certificates according to the
Order EN 10204-3.1.B are delivered with the sensor in paper format or can be
alternatively downloaded from hamiltoncompany.com.
1.2 About this Operating Instruction
These Operating Instructions are designed to support the integration,
operation and qualification of the VisiTrace mA sensors. To achieve this, it
will describe the features of VisiTrace mA and its integration in Process
Control Systems (PCS). Both the hardware and the communication between the
VisiTrace mA and Process Control Systems are described in this manual. After
reading this manual the user should be capable of installing and operating
VisiTrace mA sensors.
ATTENTiON! Essential information for avoiding personal injury or damage to

2 Liability
The liability of Hamilton Bonaduz AG is detailed in the document «General
Terms and Conditions of Sale and Delivery». Hamilton is expressly not liable
for direct or indirect losses arising from use of the sensors. It must in
particular be insured in this conjunction that malfunctions can occur on
account of the inherently limited useful life of sensors contingent upon their
relevant applications. The user is responsible for the calibration,
maintenance and regular replacement of the sensors. In the case of critical
sensor applications, Hamilton recommends using back-up measuring points in
order to avoid consequential damages. The user is responsible for taking
suitable precautions in the event of a sensor failure.
NOTE: The VisiTrace mA sensors are not intended and specified as a safety
device. A SIL (Safety Integrity Level) certification is not available. It is
in the sole responsibility of the user to validate the VisiTrace mA sensor
according the safety requirements of his application.
3 Safety Precautions and Hazards
ATTENTiON! read the following safety instructions carefully before installing
and operating the VisiTrace mA sensor.
3.1 General Precautions
For safe and correct use of VisiTrace mA, it is essential that both operating
and service personnel follow generally accepted safety procedures as well as
the safety instructions given in this document, the VisiTrace mA operating
instructions. The specification given in the «Specification Sheet» as regards
temperature, pressure etc. may under no circumstances be exceeded.
Inappropriate use or misuse can be dangerous.
The lifetime of the VisiTrace mA highly depends on the specific conditions of
the application. Temperature, pressure, chemicals used may accelerate the
ageing of both the sensor and its ODO cap. See chapter 7 for maintenance.
Cleaning, assembly and maintenance should be performed by personnel trained in
such work. Before removing the sensor from the measuring setup, always make
sure that no process medium can be accidentally spilled. When removing and
cleaning the sensor, it is recommended to wear safety goggles and protective
gloves. The sensor can not be repaired by the operator and has to be sent back
to Hamilton for inspection. Necessary precautions should be taken when
transporting the sensors. For repair the sensor should be sent back in the
original reusable packaging box. Every VisiTrace mA sent back for repair must
be decontaminated.

If the conditions described in these operating instructions are not adhered to
or if there is any inappropriate interference with the equipment, all of our
manufacturer’s warranties become obsolete.
3.2 Operation of VisiTrace mA Sensor
When using the VisiTrace mA sensors in process environment suitable protective
clothing, safety glasses and protective gloves must be worn, particularly when
dealing with a malfunction where the risk of contamination from spilled
liquids exists. Installation and maintenance of sensors must be performed only
by trained personnel. The mobile devices and sensors must be used for their
intended applications, and in optimum safety and operational conditions.
Use only wired digital or analog connection for the process control. The Arc
wireless interface is designed for sensor monitoring, maintenance and service
purposes.
Make sure that the PG13,5 thread and the O-ring are not damaged when screwing
the sensor into the process. O-rings are consumable parts which must be
exchanged regularly (at least once per year). Even when all required safety
measures have been complied with, potential risks still exist with respect to
leaks or mechanical damage to the armature. Wherever there are seals or
screws, gases or liquids may leak out undetected. Always make sure that no
process medium can be accidentally spilled before removing the sensor from its
measurement setup. Make sure that no air or gas bubbles sticks to the
sensitive part of the sensor. As a consequence, the measurement value could be
unstable. Do not put stress on the system by vibration, bending or torsion.
Before use, verify that the sensor is properly configured for your
application.
Failure to observe and carry out the maintenance procedures may impair the
reliability and correct functioning of the measurement system.
ATTENTiON! When unscrewing the PG13,5 thread connection never turn the sensor
at the connector head because you can loosen the OdO Cap from the sensor shaft
and fluid can reach the interior of the sensor.
ATTENTiON! To avoid humidity problems, make sure that the OdO Cap and
protection cap is always attached firmly to the sensor, and that the O-ring
between the shaft or m12 connector and cap is undamaged.
The integrated 420 mA analog output has been configured according to factory
defaults. You can find full details, including serial number and most
important specifications, on the certificate provided with each sensor. Before
use, verify that the sensor is properly configured for your application.
The ODO Caps are consumable parts of the VisiTrace mA. The operating lifetime
of the ODO Caps depend strongly on the operating conditions of the process.
Make sure that following cross sensitivities and resistances of ODO Caps are
respected.

The certificates and the declaration of conformity can be downloaded from
www.hamiltoncompany.com
3.3.1 General Conditions for Safe Operation
Conditions described in the ATEX EC-Type Examination Certificate or the IECEx
Certificate of Conformity must be adhered to. The operator of equipment in
potentially explosive atmospheres is responsible for ensuring that all
components of the system are certified for that area classification and are
compatible with each other. The regulation of erection (e.g. IEC 60079-10)
which apply to systems and plants used in potentially explosive atmospheres
have to be strictly adhered to. Perform regular visual inspection of the
sensor, its installation and cable for intactness and correct operational
conditions. If the sensor is being operated in gas atmosphere, the following
process and ambient temperatures have to be observed:
Temperature Class Process and Ambient Temperature range [Ta/p]

The operator has to ensure protection against lightning in compliance with the
locally applicable regulations.
Along to the intrinsically safe circuit potential equalization has to be
provided, because in case of a fault the intrinsically safe circuit has to be
regarded as connected to the metal housing.
Intense vapor or dust directly impacting on the cable must be avoided when the
cable is running through zones of category 1G, 1D or 2D. Assembly and
maintenance are to be done only if the atmosphere is Ex-free and according to
the current local regulations. After maintenance works have been performed all
barriers and notes remove for that purpose have to be put back in their
original place.
The sensor has to be powered with a power supply unit with an intrinsically
safe output circuit of Ex ia IIC. For the selection, consider the conditions
stated in EN 60079-25. This is also applicable for operation of the sensor in
non-ex environment. In nonex environment, VisiTrace mA can be operated with
the Sensor Power Cable M12.

NOTE: The table above is only a recommendation. Hamilton is not responsible
for changes in the specifications of the power supply units.
ATTENTiON! in case the sensor is not working correctly disconnect the sensor
immediately from the power supply.
3.3.2 Earthing
The sensor has to be mounted at the mounting location which has to be
electrostatically conductive (< 1M). It is recommended to assign the sensor
shaft and/or M12 cable shield to ground or earth especially in
electromagnetically noisy environments. This significantly improves noise
immunity and signal quality. The M12 thread is connected to the metallic
housing of the VisiTrace mA sensor. Two options for connecting the sensor to
the process environment are available.
Option 1: The Metal tank is connected to earth The sensor shaft is connected
to the metal tank over the PG13,5 thread.
Figure 1: Metal tank with earth connection
NOTE: If the tank is not connected to earth, Option 2 has to be applied.
Option 2: Glass or plastic tank (not connected to earth) The glass or plastic
tank has no connection to earth and therefore it is necessary to connect the
sensor shaft via a screw clamp to earth.

3.4 Electrical Safety Precautions
Do not connect the sensor to a power source of any voltage beyond the range
stated in the Technical Specifications (www.hamiltoncompany.com). Always use
Hamilton M12 cables for safe connection. Cables are available in a broad range
of lengths. Make sure the cable is intact and properly plugged to avoid any
short circuit. Keep VisiTrace mA away from other equipment which emits
electromagnetic radio frequency fields, and minimize static electricity in the
immediate environment of the optical measuring parts. Carefully follow all the
instructions in chapter 5.3 to avoid electrical damage to the sensor. The
contacts must be clean and dry before sensor is connected to the cable.
ATTENTiON! Switch off the power supply and unplug the connector before
dismounting the VisiTrace mA.
ATTENTiON! if the power supply (230VAC/24VdC) is switched off or disconnected
the reading on the PCS is wrong.
3.5 Chemical, Radioactive or Biological Hazard Precautions
Selection of the appropriate safety level and implementation of the required
safety measures for working with VisiTrace mA is the sole responsibility of
the user.
If working with hazardous liquids observe and carry out the maintenance
procedures, paying particular attention to cleaning and decontamination. If
VisiTrace mA becomes contaminated with biohazardous, radioactive or chemical
material, it should be cleaned. Failure to observe and carry out the
maintenance procedures may impair the reliability and correct functioning of
the measuring module.

4.3 Optical DO measurement
The optical measurement principle is based on the so-called luminescence
quenching. The luminescence of certain organic pigments (luminophore) is
quenched in the presence of oxygen. The luminophore absorbs the excitation
light and release a part of the absorbed energy by emission of fluorescence.
In the presence of oxygen, energy transfer takes place from the excited
luminophore to oxygen. The luminophore does not emit fluorecence and the
measurable fluorescence signal decreases.

5.3.4 Electrical Connection for HART Communication
VisiTrace mA sensor supports the platform-independent HART 7 communication
protocol. In most cases a HART resistor is already installed in the HART
Interface Card of the process control system (Figure 10 A). If no resistor in
the HART interface card is integrated, an external 250 resistor has to be
installed in series between the sensor and the process control system as
described on Figure 10 B.

7.3 Calibration
The VisiTrace mA sensors provide two calibration points: a zero-point calibration and a calibration at 1%-vol. oxygen (400 ppb at 25°C). For many applications a regular calibration of the zero-point (chapter 7.3.2) is sufficient to ensure good sensor performance in low ppb range. The oxygen accuracy of the oxygen point at 1%-vol. is to be verified regularly (chapter 7.3.3). If the accuracy of the oxygen point at 1%-vol. is below the process specification recalibration is required (chapter 5.2.5).
7.3.1 Materials and Method
VisiTrace mA sensors are calibrated at two points: in 1%vol. oxygen and in an oxygen-free environment. During calibration, the sensor controls automatically the stability of the oxygen and temperature signals.

7.4 Product Calibration
The product calibration is an in-process calibration procedure in order to
adjust the measurement to specific process conditions. Product calibration is
an additional calibration procedure to a standard calibration.
If product calibration is activated, the VisiTrace mA calibration curve is
calculated from the data of last calibration at point 1 and from the data of
the product calibration (Figure 17). In order to restore the original standard
calibration curve, the product calibration can be at any time by selecting on
the Product calibration command «cancel». A new standard calibration cancels a
product calibration as well.

7.5 Cleaning
This chapter outlines a manual cleaning procedure for the care and maintenance
of optical dissolved oxygen (ODO) sensors including a procedure for the
cleaning the sensing membrane in particular.
Cleaning the Sensor Carry out the cleaning procedure as follows: 1) Remove
sensor from the measuring setup 2) Check if the ODO Cap is mounted firmly on
the shaft 3) Soak a dust-free cloth or tissue paper with water and wipe the
wetted parts with it. Thoroughly rinse the wetted parts and the sensing
membrane with deionised water afterwards 4) Dry the wetted parts with a clean
dust-free cloth or tissue and store the sensor in dry and dark conditions (ODO
Caps are light-sensitive) 5) If the sensing-membrane on the front of the cap
is contaminated with oil, grease or other organic matter, soak a clean dust-
free cloth with isopropyl alcohol. Rinse residual isopropyl alcohol
immediately from the membrane with deionised water and gently wipe over the
membrane 6) After cleaning always perform a new calibration before carrying
out measurements (see chapter 7.3 in the corresponding Operating Instruction
Manual).
ATTENTiON! Cleaning, assembly and maintenance should be performed by personnel
trained in such work. do not use any abrasive tissues or cleaning materials
and do not use any cleaning chemicals other than described above. Before
removing the sensor from the measuring setup, always make sure that the setup
is pressure-less, cold and that no process medium can be accidentally spilled.
When removing and cleaning the sensor, it is recommended to wear safety
glasses and protective gloves.
