  • Page 7: Q46P Performance Specifications (Common To All Variations)

    TC General – Q25P pH Sensor Model Q25P “differential” pH sensors are the most commonly used sensors with the Q46P monitor. The differential design utilizes a second glass measuring electrode contained in an internal buffer as the reference element. This eliminates the need for a silver/silver chloride reference used in conventional pH sensor designs.
  • Page 8: Sensor Features

    Q46P pH System Part 1 – Introduction Sensor Features • A high volume, dual junction saltbridge to maximize the in-service lifetime of the sensor. The annular junction provides a large surface area to minimize the chance of fouling. Large electrolyte volume and dual reference junctions minimize contamination. The saltbridge is replaceable.
  • Page 9 Q46P pH System Part 1 – Introduction 1.8 Important Sensor Notes • The glass electrode must be wetted at all times to ensure proper functionality. Q25P sensors are shipped with a fluid-filled cap over the electrode to enable immediate use (remove cap before installing, save for storage and shipping purposes).

  • Page 24: Part 4 - Electrical Installation

    Part 4 – Electrical Installation General The Q46 is powered in one of two ways, depending on the version purchased. The 12-24 VDC powered analyzer requires a customer supplied DC power supply. The 90-260 VAC version requires line power. Please verify the type of unit before connecting any power. WARNING: Do not connect AC line power to the DC version.
  • Page 25 Q46P pH System Part 4 – Electrical Installation WARNING Disconnect line power voltage BEFORE connecting line power wires to Terminal TB7 of the power supply. The power supply accepts only standard three-wire single phase power. AC power supplies are configured for 90-260 VAC operation at the factory at time of order, and the power supply is labeled as such.
  • Page 26: Relay Connection

    Q46P pH System Part 4 – Electrical Installation Relay Connection Three SPDT relays are provided on the power supply board. None of the relay contacts are powered. The user must supply the proper power to the contacts. For applications that require the same switched operating voltage as the Q46 (115 or 230 V), power may be jumpered from the power input terminals at TB7.

  • Page 54 Q46P pH System Part 6 – Calibration *Failsafe This function allows the user to set the optional system relays to a failsafe condition. In a failsafe condition, the relay logic is reversed so that the relay is electrically energized in a normal operating state. By doing this, the relay will not only change state when, for example, a pH limit is exceeded, but also when power is lost to the controller.
  • Page 55: Part 6 - Calibration

    Part 6 – Calibration Overview and Methods Since the sensor slope (mV/pH output) will degrade over time, the instrument must be calibrated periodically to maintain a high degree of measurement accuracy. Frequency of calibration must be determined by the application. High temperature applications or applications involving extreme pH operating conditions may require more frequent calibration than those that operate at more neutral pH levels and ambient level temperatures.

The sensor temperature may be calibrated on line, or the sensor can be removed from the process and placed into a known solution temperature reference. In any case, it is critical that the sensor be allowed to reach temperature equilibrium with the solution in order to provide the highest accuracy.
  • Page 60: Part 7 - Pid Controller Details

    Part 7 – PID Controller Details PID Description PID control, like many other control schemes, are used in chemical control to improve the efficiency of chemical addition or control. By properly tuning the control loop that controls chemical addition, only the amount of chemical that is truly required is added to the system, saving money.
  • Page 61 Q46P pH System Part 7– PID Controller The most notable feature of the algorithm is the fact the proportional gain term affects all components directly (unlike some other algorithms - like the “series” form.) If a pre-existing controller utilizes the same form of the algorithm shown above, it is likely similar settings can for made if the units on the settings are exactly the same.
  • Page 62: Classical Pid Tuning

    Q46P pH System Part 7– PID Controller If it appears that even large amounts of integral gain (>20) don’t appreciably increase the desired response, drop I back to about 1.0, and increase P by 1.00, and start increasing I again. In most chemical control schemes, I will be approximately 3 times the value of P.
  • Page 63 Q46P pH System Part 7– PID Controller The easiest processes to control with closed-loop schemes are generally linear, and symmetrical, in nature. For example, controlling level in tank where the opening of valve for a fixed period of time corresponds linearly to the amount that flows into a tank. Chemical control process’ can be more problematic when the nature of the setpoint value is non-linear relative to the input of chemical added.
