< 1. SPECIFICATIONS > 1. SPECIFICATIONS The PH8ECP pH sensor, consisting of a complex glass electrode assembly, has high resistance to corrosion in solutions involving highly concentrated chlorine (Cl ) and sodium chloride (NaCl). It can be used to measure the pH of solutions in an electrolytic plant. This KCl filling type pH sensor is incorporated in a flow-through type holder.

Figure 2.1 Names of PH8ECP pH Sensor Components 2.1.2 Installing Flow-Through Type Holder Insure that the PH8ECP pH Sensor is installed in the flow-through type holder. 2.1.3 Installing Associated Instruments Check that any or the pH converter, two-wire pH transmitter, and terminal box which is used to connect cables from the pH sensor is already installed.
A general purpose reserve tank filled with KCl solution 250 mL and hardware or a medium pressure reserve tank (where specified), are attached to the PH8ECP pH Sensor. Mount the general purpose reserve tank holder on a 2-inch pipe. Connect the KCl refilling tube to the general purpose reserve tank.
Page 16
< 2. INSTALLATION > Supply the sensor with KCl solution. When a general purpose reserve tank is used, mount the reserve tank in its holder with the tube connections directed downward. Make some ventilation holes in the top side of the reserve tank using the pins provided. Loosen the air exhaust plug in the reference electrode and allow KCl solution to flow into the sensor until the sensor is filled with KCl solution.

Plug the air exhaust port if the KCl solution overflows. Install the reserve tank cover and tighten the nut. 3.3 mol/L is used as KCl solution. The KCl solution can be prepared from KCl powder, Yokogawa's PH8AX accessory. Dissolve one bag of KCl powder (62 g) in deionized water and dilute to 250 mL.
< 2. INSTALLATION > 2.3 Connecting Sensor cables 2.3.1 Connecting Sensor Cable to Two-wire pH transmitter The following describes how to connect a pH sensor cable directly to the two-wire pH transmitter. When the cable is to be connected to a junction terminal box, first read the separately prepared "PH8TBG Junction Terminal Box (IM12B07W0l-01E)"...
< 2. INSTALLATION > 2.3.2 Connecting Sensor Cable to Four-wire pH Converter To connect the sensor cable to a Four-wire pH converter, proceed as follows: Loosen the four screws that tighten the converter cover. Then remove the converter cover. Connect the sensor cables to the relevant terminals of the transmitter: First, remove the nut from the cable gland.
< 3. USE OF pH SENSOR > 3. USE OF pH SENSOR 3.1 Operation and Periodical Maintenance 3.1.1 Buffer Solution Calibration Calibrate with buffer solution before starting normal operation because the e.m.f. of the glass electrodes differ a little from each other. The e.m.f. of the glass electrode gradually changes due to electrode staining and electrode deterioration.
< 3. USE OF pH SENSOR > 3.1.3 Replenishment of KCl Solution When the KCl solution in the tank seems to be nearly exhausted while using a pH sensor with general type reserve tank, replace the reserve tank with new one (provided separately as spare part). Instead of replacing the reserve tank, it can be replenished with a prepared KCl solution.
< 3. USE OF pH SENSOR > Refill the tank with 3.3 mol/L KCl solution (see Figure 3.3). The maximum solution level is 30 to 40 mm lower than the top. 30 to 40 mm F3.3E.ai Figure 3.3 Maximum KCl Replenishment Level Retighten the nut to fix the cap in position. Connect the socket type connector and apply air pressure to the tank.
