“Quick Start” Instructions supplied with your transmitter. Features - The TX100 is designed to be a fully isolated, loop powered pH/mV instrument for two-wire DC applications. - Can be user-adjusted for specific application span from 0-14pH or -1999mV to + 1999mV.
Connect a 12-24V DC, 8 amp maximum power supply as shown above. See page 6 for resistance load vs. voltage. d. Transmitter Programming/Setup The TX100 is supplied with the following preset programming: Factory Calibrated Values pH Manual Offset = 0...

For pH, perform Two-Point pH calibration as outlined in Section 8.2. First buffer is pH 7.00 or 6.86 (NIST), second buffer choices are 4.01, 10.00 or 9.18 (NIST). A two-point calibration must be performed. Three-point calibration is not necessary with the TX100. Page 4 of 35...
PRODUCT INSTRUCTION MANUAL Part 2 Transmitter Mounting Cord Grip Installation Turn transmitter upside down with display facing you. Punch out either one or two conduit knockouts with a small hammer and punch as shown below for cord grip mounting. Ensure back cover is installed to provide mechanical support for the enclosure walls.
PRODUCT INSTRUCTION MANUAL Part 3 Sensor Mounting General Select a location within the maximum sensor cable length (30 ft) for mounting of the sensor flow cell. If there is more than 30 ft distance from the electrode to the transmitter, you should purchase a battery- powered preamplifier model PHAMP-1, or use an amplified pH or ORP electrode.
Route signal cable away from AC power lines, adjustable frequency drives, motors, or other noisy electrical signal lines. Do not run sensor or signal cables in conduit that contains AC power lines or motor leads. The TX100 is supplied with a light- ning protective component.
PRODUCT INSTRUCTION MANUAL Part 4 Transmitter Electrical Installation 4-20mA loop connection to PLC or other 4-20mA load device Install loop wiring as shown below in diagram 4.1A, paying particular attention to maximum resistance load shown in the chart. Note that PLC or 4-20mA device and power supply are customer supplied components. Supply Voltage( V DC) Max Resistance Load (Ohms) Figure 4.1A...
Electrode Electrical Connection General The electrode cable can be quickly connected to the TX100’s terminal strip by matching the wire colors on the cable conductors. Route signal cable away from AC power lines, adjustable frequency drives, motors, or other noisy electrical signal lines. Do not run sensor or signal cables in conduit that contains AC power lines or motor leads.
PRODUCT INSTRUCTION MANUAL Part 6 Keypad Function and LCD Keypad The TX100 keypad is designed for ease-of-use. See graphic below for keypad function. Figure 6.1 Page 14 of 35...
PRODUCT INSTRUCTION MANUAL LCD Screen The TX100’s LCD display contains a number of useful indicators which let the user know which mode is active. In addition, all values to be changed will flash. The silicone keypad is designed for ease-of-use. See graphic below for display features.

25.0 degrees C or 77.0 degrees F. 2-Point pH Calibration The TX100 performs two-point calibrations using preprogrammed buffer choices. No mV calibration is re- quired. See Figure 8.1 for calibration programming.
PRODUCT INSTRUCTION MANUAL Temperature Calibration This menu allows the user to select temperature units of measure and to calibrate the temperature displayed on the T100’s screen to match another sensor or thermometer. This menu is only available in pH mode (See Probe Select menu for details) Figure 8.2 Page 19 of 35...
PRODUCT INSTRUCTION MANUAL Probe Select Menu Allows for selection of pH or ORP (mV) sensor. Menu is preset to “pH” from factory. Figure 9.1 Page 20 of 35...
PRODUCT INSTRUCTION MANUAL Calibration Offset This mode allows the user to offset the current calibration by up to 2.00 pH units to make it equal to the calibration/reading of another meter. Figure 9.2 Page 21 of 35...
PRODUCT INSTRUCTION MANUAL Range Menu This calibration mode allows the user to define the pH values equal to 4.0 and 20.0mA. The factory preset Values are 0.0 pH for 4.0mA and 14.0pH for 20mA. Figure 9.3 Page 22 of 35...
PRODUCT INSTRUCTION MANUAL Clean Probe Menu This menu allows the user to set a visual reminder to clean the probe. The reminder can be set to within 1-250 days. Once the timer has expired the clean probe icon will flash on the screen. Flashing probe icon is disabled by setting clean probe menu OFF.
PRODUCT INSTRUCTION MANUAL Factory Reset Menu This menu allows the user to reset all programmed settings back to the factory defaults. Factory Reset Values pH Slope and Offset values reset to Ideal Range Mode [ - ] OFF mV Slope and Offset values reset to Range Mode Lo mV reset to -999 mV Factory Calibrated Values Range Mode Hi mV reset to 999 mV...
PRODUCT INSTRUCTION MANUAL Manual Temperature Compensation This menu allows the user to set the temperature displayed on the screen (when a temperature sensor is not attached) for temperature compensation. Figure 9.8 Page 27 of 35...
If readings are very erratic after wiring has been checked, check for a possible AC ground loop by temporarily moving the sensor to a sample of solution in a beaker or other container. 10.3 Troubleshooting Chart TX100 Figure 10.1 Page 29 of 35...
To recalibrate the TX100 and electrode, see Part 8. 11.2 Replacement Parts Replacement parts for the TX100 are available as a kit. This is the same kit that is in the TX100 box. For indi- vidual parts, please contact the factory.
