Safety Information The Thermo Scientific AquaSensors AnalogPlus 1.0 inch Contacting Conductivity sensor shall be installed and operated only in the manner specified. Only a skilled, trained or authorized person should carry out installation, setup and operation of the sensor system.
1. INTRODUCTION 1.1. General Information Thank you for purchasing the Thermo Scientific AquaSensors AnalogPlus Contacting Conductivity Sensor. This industrial sensor has many enhanced features that offer superior performance in process applications. The product is designed for continuous use in industrial process applications and complies with safety regulations currently in force.
1.2. Intended use The Thermo Scientific AquaSensors AnalogPlus 1.0 inch Contacting Conductivity sensor is designed to continuously measure Conductivity/Resistivity and temperature in aqueous solutions in accordance with the technical product specifications in Section 2.2 of this manual. Any other use, or use not mentioned here, that is incompatible with the technical specifications is deemed inappropriate.
2. PRODUCT DESCRIPTION 2.1. Sensor Description The Thermo Scientific AquaSensors 1.0 inch Contacting Conductivity sensor is available in different cell constants to accurately measure your continuous industrial application. The wires in the sensor cable are color coded to allow for quick and easy installation into the Model C99 controller.
The sensor will arrive with a protective cap. Remove when in process or calibrating. Replace the cap on the sensor when placed in storage. Make sure all wetted materials are compatible with process chemicals at operating temperatures and pressures. ™ ™ Thermo Scientific AquaSensors AnalogPlus Contacting Conductivity Sensor User Guide...
Be sure that the wire colors of the sensor cable match those of the interconnect cable on either side of the terminal strip. Route the interconnect cable through metal conduit to minimize electrical noise that may interfere with the sensor signal. ™ ™ Thermo Scientific AquaSensors AnalogPlus Contacting Conductivity Sensor User Guide...
3.2. Mounting Hardware The Thermo Scientific AquaSensors 1.0 inch Contacting Conductivity sensor can be installed in standard plastic and metal 1-inch full bore tees, union mount tees, immersion mounts and sanitary mounts. Save the protective cap and use it whenever the sensor is removed from service.
Common mounting arrangements are shown. Dimensions: IN (mm) Dimensions: IN (mm) Figure 3.4: Schedule 40 PVC Tee Figure 3.5: Schedule 80 PVC Tee ™ ™ Thermo Scientific AquaSensors AnalogPlus Contacting Conductivity Sensor User Guide...

4.1.3. Before returning the sensor to service, allow it to soak in water at ambient temperature for about an hour to restabilize the Conductivity electrode. 4.1.4. After cleaning the sensor, calibrate sensor per instructions in the Model C99 controller manual. 4.1.5. Reinstall sensor in process. ™ ™ Thermo Scientific AquaSensors AnalogPlus Contacting Conductivity Sensor User Guide...
If after cleaning and refurbishment sensors still have slow responses, low measurement slopes or are seriously abraded or scratched, they must be replaced. Contact your local distributor or call Thermo Fisher Scientific Customer Service. ™ ™ Thermo Scientific AquaSensors AnalogPlus Contacting Conductivity Sensor User Guide...
