2.1.1 Unpacking and Inspection The Model PH8EFP pH sensor is well packed so as to prevent damage during shipment. After removing the sensor from its shipping container, visually check the sensor for damage. Check also the order was delivered correctly by identifying the information on the nameplate attached on the sensor body.
< 2. Installation > 2.1.2 Mounting Glass Electrode Mount the glass electrode on the sensor body as per the following procedure: (1) Peel off the seal from the electrode mounting hole on the sensor body. (2) Remove the cap for the glass membrane. Wipe off any solution remaining on the O-ring with a tissue or other material. (3) Remove the cap for the gold-plated pin. (4) Confirm that there is no damage on the O-ring that might affect its sealing performance. (5) Mount the glass electrode on the sensor body.
(3) If specified, a reserve tank containing 250 mL KCl solution and mounting hardware to hold this tank are supplied with the PH8EFP pH sensor. Attach the holding hardware to the pipe (nominal diameter 50 mm). Connect the reserve tank to the KCl solution supply tube of the sensor. Remove the cap from the tank and screw the tube connector securely into the tank.

< 2. Installation > 2.2.2 Installing Sensor in PH8HS Submersion Holder To install the sensor in the submersion holder, proceed as follows: (1) Pass the sensor cable through the sensor holder. If the submersion holder remains installed, remove the sensor holder in any case. For a pipe-mounting submersion holder without a cleaner, loosen the sensor holder nut to remove the holder.

< 2. Installation > Clamp (Screw) Cleaner Holder Sensor Holder F2.7.ai Figure 2.7 Removal of Sensor Holder (with Cleaner) To install the sensor cable in the sensor holder, first remove the protector screwed onto the sensor holder end and then remove the protective foam piece (for shipping; thus, it is not necessary after the sensor is installed in the holder). Pass the sensor cable through the O-ring then attach the O-ring to the sensor flange (see Figure 2.7).

(4) If specified, a reserve tank containing 250 mL KCl solution and mounting hardware to hold this tank are supplied with the PH8EFP pH sensor. Attach the mounting hardware to the pipe (2-inch). Connect the reserve tank to the KCl solution supply tube of the sensor. Remove the cap from the tank and screw the tube connector securely into the tank.
< 2. Installation > pH Sensor O-ring Protector F2.9.ai Figure 2.9 Installing Sensor in Submersion Holder (7) Close the waterproof cap, and attach the holder to the arm pipe, flange or cleaner holder completely. 2.2.3 Installing Sensor in Flow-through Holder To install the sensor in a flow-through holder, proceed as follows: (1) Connect the sensor cable to the associated instrument. First, remove the sensor fixing nut and pass the sensor cable through the nut. pH Sensor Sensor Fixing Nut Figure 2.10 Preparation for Sensor Cable Connection Properly connect the sensor cable by referring to Section 2.3.

< 2. Installation > (3) If specified, a reserve tank containing 250 mL solution and mounting hardware to hold this tank, or a medium pressure reserve tank are supplied with the PH8EFP pH sensor. Attach the mounting hardware for general purpose reserve tank to a pipe (2-inch). Connect the general purpose reserve tank to the KCl solution supply tube of the sensor. Remove the cap from the tank and screw the tube connector securely into the tank.

Remove the protective cap from the sensor. Also remove the protective foam piece (for shipping - this is not necessary after installing the sensor) from the holder.
2-11 < 2. Installation > pH Sensor Cable Wiring Procedure 2.3.1 Processing of Cable Inlet Hole Open the cable inlet hole in terminal box using the supplied punch tool. The location of the cable inlet hole is shown by the circle-shaped groove under the case. The end of the supplied punch tool is put in the center of this circle and it is tapped with appropriate force.
2-12 < 2. Installation > Put the nut in place, and screw it onto the main body sufficiently. At this time, loosen the cap so that the cable is not twisted. After fixing the main body, tighten the cap to keep moisture out of the equipment. However if the cap is screwed up too tight, the cable will be damaged. Attach the nut in the direction shown here (so that it engages the detent groove). Gasket Main unit F2.15.ai...
2-13 < 2. Installation > (3) Install the cable gland in the wiring hole as follows: Pass the tip of the cable gland into the opening and completely tighten the gland with the nut inside the case. After tightening the gland, secure the cap properly to prevent moisture from getting into the case.
< 3. Maintenance on operation > Maintenance on operation Operation and Periodic Maintenance 3.1.1 Calibrating pH Sensor Using Buffer Solutions Calibrate pH sensors with buffer solutions before starting normal operation because the emf of glass electrodes differs somewhat from each other. The emf of a glass electrode gradually changes due to electrode staining or deterioration. Therefore, buffer solution calibration must be carried out periodically within a given period of time to keep the measurement errors within the limits specified. For more detailed information on the calibration procedures, see relevant pH transmitter/ converter IMs .
< 3. Maintenance on operation > (2) Remove the socket connector on the reserve tank and stop the air pressurizing the tank (see Figure 3.2). Socket type Connector Press this part, connector can be removed. F3.2.ai Figure 3.2 Socket Type Connector. (3) Remove the nut fixing the reserve tank cap and remove the cap.
O-ring inside the glass electrode. For individual replacement of the O-ring, use the one recommended by Yokogawa. When installing the O-ring, wind a slip of paper or tape around the thread part on the glass electrode so as not to scratch the O-ring.
