1. Description
Signet's Amperometric Chlorine Electrode is designed to measure free chlorine in fresh water and waste water treatment
applications. The electrode is available in measurement ranges of 0 to 2 ppm, 0 to 5 ppm or 0 to 20 ppm.
This electrode requires the Signet 2650 Amperometric Electronics module to output a digital (S
Chlorine Transmitter.
Features:
• Utilizing smart-sensor technology, this electrode incorporates a unique embedded memory chip within the electrode to
communicate a wide variety of information to the Signet 2650 electronics and Signet 8630 transmitter. Electrode type,
factory calibration data, service time, chlorine range, high and low pH (with optional Signet pH electrode), temperature limits
and more are stored on the chip. This information is accessible via the Signet 8630 transmitter.
• Signet's patented DryLoc
seal ensure a waterproof and reliable interconnect to the Signet 2650 Amperometric Electronics.
• Integrated temperature element for automatic temperature compensation.
• Separate drive electronics (Signet 2650) allow easy electrode replacement without running new cable.
2. Electrolyte
Avoid skin or eye contact with electrolyte solution.
Wear rubber gloves and goggles.
* Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) are available online at
www.gfsignet.com.
• Free chlorine electrodes are pre-filled with electrolyte solution. Simply pull off the
protective boot from the end of the electrode and install the electrode into the flow
cell fitting.
• The membrane cap must be replaced every time the electrolyte is changed.
Fill and Refill Procedure:
When adding electrolyte, be prepared for an accidental spill.
Working near a sink is recommended.
1. Remove the membrane cap from the front of the sensor.
2. Turn the sensor upside down and shake the sensor vigorously to remove the
internal electrolyte.
3. Fill supplied syringe with electrolyte solution.
4. Place the electrode on a level surface.
5. Insert syringe needle fully into one of the four electrode holes while injecting
with electrolyte solution. The electrode holds approximately 14 milliliters of
solution. Insert the needle to the bottom to avoid creating bubbles. Carefully fill
until solution begins to flow out of holes. Do not allow the solution to run down
the electrode and wet the electrical contacts in the DryLoc connector.
6. Slowly screw on the membrane cap finger tight. Do not use tools.
To avoid damage and contamination, do not touch the white membrane surface
on the membrane cap.

Operation Electrode Range: The electrode must match the type and Part Number Chlorine Range Chlorine Type range of chlorine concentration to be measured. 3-2630-1 0 to 2 ppm (mg/l) Flow Rate: 3-2630-2 0 to 5 ppm (mg/l) Free chlorine The electrode must have a stable and constant flow of water 3-2630-3 0 to 20 ppm (mg/l) past its membrane for accurate measurement. When the sensor is installed in the Tee flow cell 3-3610-2 (159 001 684), the flow rate must range from 37.8 to 75.7 LPH (10 to 20 The electrode should not be used in water containing US g/h). surfactants, oils, organic chlorine or stabilizers such as cyanuric acid. When the sensor is installed in the Flow Cell Block (3-4630.392, 159 001 690), the flow rate range should be The maximum allowable operating pressure must 30.24 to 45.36 LPH (8 to 12 US g/h). be less than 0.48 bar (7 psi). Higher pressures will damage the electrode. Sensor Conditioning: 4 hours A new electrode requires conditioning of 4 hours with the electrode powered on and water flowing past the head to generate a stable reading.
  • Page 4 9. Overview Chlorine in Water Various forms of chlorine are used to disinfect water. Each form of chlorine has benefits and limitations which help determine the specific application. The predominant categories used in disinfection are Free Chlorine, Total Chlorine and Chlorine Dioxide. Free Chlorine is the sum of chlorine gas (Cl ), hypochlorous acid (HOCl) and hypochlorite (OCl ). Above pH 4.0 all of the molecular chlorine is converted to HOCl and OCl . Hypochlorous acid is a more potent disinfectant than hypochlorite and exists in a pH dependent equilibrium as shown in Figure 1. Free chlorine also combines with naturally occurring or human-introduced nitrogen compounds in the water to form chloramines, also known as combined chlorine. Treatment operators introduce ammonia into the water to form monochloramine (NH Cl), dichloramine (NHCl ) and trichloramine (NCl ). Chloramines are a less effective disinfectant but have a longer residence time than the free chlorine species. Total chlorine is the sum of free chlorine (Cl , HOCl and OCl ) and combined chlorine (NH Cl, NHCl , NCl Chlorine Measurement by Amperometric Sensors Signet chlorine sensors are membrane-covered amperometric 2-electrode sensors. A gold or platinum cathode acts as the working electrode with a silver halide acting as the counter electrode. Depending on the species to be analyzed, a polarization voltage is applied between the two electrodes. When placed into service, the chlorine species of interest diffuses across the membrane and is reduced at the cathode surface. For the case of total chlorine, the analyte reacts with the fill solution to produce an intermediate, which is subsequently reduced at the cathode surface. At the same time, the silver anode is oxidized to form a silver halide. The current generated at the cathode is proportional to the rate of diffusion through the membrane and the concentration of chlorine in the sample. The current from the cathode to the anode is conditioned, digitized and transmitted by the associated electronics. pH Compensation for Free Chlorine Amperometric free chlorine sensors measure only hypochlorous acid. As noted in the text above and in Figure 1, the ratio of hypochlorous acid and hypochlorite is pH dependent. In...
