Important Notes The glass electrode must be wetted at all times to ensure proper functionality. Q25R 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). Electrodes that have dried out for any reason should be hydrated for 24 hours to restore full functionality.
Part 2 – Analyzer Mounting General All Q45 Series instruments offer maximum mounting flexibility. A bracket is included with each unit that allows mounting to walls or pipes. In all cases, choose a location that is readily accessible for calibrations. Also consider that it may be necessary to utilize a location where solutions can be used during the calibration process.
Q45R ORP Monitor System Part 2 – Analyzer Mounting Wall or Pipe Mount A PVC mounting bracket with attachment screws is supplied with each transmitter (see Figure 3 for dimensions). The multi-purpose bracket is attached to the rear of the enclosure using the four flat head screws. The instrument is then attached to the wall using the four outer mounting holes in the bracket.

Part 4 – Electrical Installation General The Q45 is powered in one of two ways, depending on the version purchased. The 2-wire version is a 16-35 VDC powered transmitter. The integral 115/230 VAC version requires line power. DC powered units with relays may be powered from either 12 or 24 VDC regulated power supplies (customer supplied).
Q45R ORP Monitor System Part 4 – Electrical Installation Figure 19 - DC/Loop Power Wiring Diagram Notes: 1. Voltage between Terminals 9 and 10 MUST be between 16 and 35 VDC. 2. Earth ground into Terminal 12 is STRONGLY recommended. This connection can greatly improve stability in electrically noisy environments.
Q45R ORP Monitor System Part 4 – Electrical Installation 4.21 Load Drive The amount of resistance that the analog output can drive in the 115/230 VAC version is fixed. However, in the two-wire configuration, the load-drive level is dependant on the DC supply voltage provided to the controller. The two-wire instrument can operate on a power supply voltage of between 16 and 35 VDC.

Part 6 – Calibration Overview and Methods 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 other extreme operating conditions may require more frequent calibration than those that operate at more ambient level temperatures.
Q45R ORP Monitor System Part 6 – Calibration 6.11 Sensor Slope The sensor slope is a number (expressed as a percentage) which represents the current condition of the sensor electrodes. The slope display is updated after every calibration. When new, the sensor slope should be between 90% and 110%.

Q45R ORP Monitor System Part 7 – PID Controller Derivative gain. The addition of derivative control can be problematic in many applications, because it greatly contributes to oscillatory behavior. In inherently slow chemical control process’, differential control is generally added in very small amounts to suppress erratic actions in the process that are non-continuous, such as pumps and valves clicking on and off.
Q45R ORP Monitor System Part 7 – PID Controller Manual PID Override Control The Q45 PID output function allows the user to take manual control of the PID control signal. This is often useful when starting up a control loop, or in the event that you wish to bump the system manually to measure system response time.

Q45R ORP Monitor 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.

Q45R ORP Monitor System Part 8 – Maintenance & Troubleshooting Cleaning the Sensor Keep the sensor as clean as possible for optimum measurement accuracy - this includes both the saltbridge and the measuring electrode. Frequency of cleaning depends upon the process solution. Carefully wipe the measuring end of the sensor with a clean soft cloth.
NOTE: Every ATI Q25R Sensor includes a spare bottle of Reference Buffer Solution, 7.0 pH. This is NOT typical pH 7 buffer, it is a special “high-capacity” buffer developed to ensure the highest possible stability of the reference portion of the ORP measurement.
Q45R ORP Monitor System Part 8 – Maintenance & Troubleshooting 8.6 Troubleshooting The first step in resolving any measurement problem is to determine whether the trouble lies in the sensor or the transmitter. Since measurement problems can often be traced to dirty sensor electrode glass and/or saltbridge, cleaning the sensor using the method outlined in Section 8.4 should always be the first step in any troubleshooting.
