Page 6: Introduction
Your Turtle Tough sensor is built with our unique and proprietary glass formulations and sensing elements to provide extreme performance in harsh environments. Through our experience in the world’s toughest applications, we have developed systems that have been optimised for high hydrofluoric acid, saturated sodium, high sulphide, organic solvents, high temperature and slurry/viscous applications. -
Page 7: Specifications
Please ensure the composition of your chosen pH/ORP sensor is appropriate for your application. To ensure your sensor is fully optimized it is recommended a Turtle Tough Application Questionnaire be completed which can be found in the "Contact Us" menu at www.turtletoughsensors.com... -

Page 11: Installation Recommendations
Installation Recommendations Turtle Tough pH and ORP Sensors have been engineered for installation into industrial processes. It is the responsibility of the end-user to ensure that the process conditions are within the specifications of the sensor to obtain optimal sensor life. - Page 12 People see an ORP or Conductivity sensor upside…. They then install a pH or DO sensor upside down (which is not good). Should you require any more assistance regarding the installation of our sensors, please contact Turtle Tough. TURTLE ®...

Page 13: Choosing The Correct Waterproofing Option
Recommendations for Inline, Immersion and Submersible Installations Turtle Tough Inline Twist Lock sensors and immersion sensors are NOT intended to have rain or other continuous forms of water on the back of the cable. In this case, a shorting can result in a variety of anomalous failure modes. -

Page 16: Wiring
Wiring Turtle Tough pH/ORP sensors are designed to provide optimal life when connected to a TT-MA Online Analyser. The connection to the TT-pHP is via BNC and banana plug connectors. Wiring of non-preamp, preamp and external preamp sensors to the TT-MA are as follows:... -
Page 17: Calibration
Calibration This section covers the calibration of Turtle Tough pH & ORP sensors when mated with a TT-MA Analyser Module. If you are using a different analyser please consult the manual supplied with the unit or the Turtle Tough website www.turtletoughsensors.com... -
Page 18: Troubleshooting
For troubleshooting, it is often useful to access the raw uncompensated mV potential of the pH sensor. When assisting you with a diagnosis, a Turtle Tough representative may ask you to place the analyser into the Raw mV Display mode. This can be accessed by pressing the Down key in the main pH/mV display mode. The display now changes from pH to mV units. -
Page 19: Ph Buffer During Calibration
pH Buffer During Calibration Since the TT-MA-pH/ORP transmitter does not automatically correct for the temperature effects on your particular pH buffer, you will need to manually enter the correct buffer pH value at your particular temperature to ensure optimum accuracy during the calibration process. Each pH buffer solution is always labelled with the pH value at various temperatures so that you can adjust the pH to the appropriate number. -
Page 20: Sensor Care And Maintenance
Storage The standard shelf life for all Turtle Tough pH and ORP sensors is one year from the date of shipment. Sensors stored longer than this period may still be functional but are no longer under warranty. Sensors should be stored in a cool, dry location with the sensor tip (where the pH/ORP element is located) oriented toward the ground. -
Page 21: Maintenance Free
Maintenance Free Turtle Tough pH and ORP sensors are a completely sealed assembly and are sealed for life. This provides extreme process resistance as well as a maintenance-free sensor which greatly increases sensor life and reduces labour costs. -
Page 22: Removing Silicate Contamination
Using the strong acidified ABF cleaning solution the deposited silicates will become soluble and much more easily removed from the sensor tip. The Turtle Tough ULTRA pH sensor with High HF resistant glass is one of the few in the world able to withstand this high HF cleaning regimen itself. The pH glass for this type of cleaning service will have a rather high impedance to ensure sufficient integrity and longevity. -
Page 23: How Do I Determine The Calibration Frequency
No sensor should be used beyond the indicated temperature and pressure limitations for that given sensor. Sensors should only be used for the application(s) that an authorised TurtleTough representative has recommended. If you are unsure that your sensor is recommended for a particular application, please contact Turtle Tough. Avoiding Thermal Shock For high-temperature applications where process liquid exceeds 70°C, you will prolong the life of the sensor by... -
Page 24: Accesories And Spares
Accesories and Spares Cleaning Kit (optional) Turtle Tough recommend the use of our cleaning kit to clean the sensor. This kit has been specially formulated to provide optimal care for the sensing element and reference components to enhance sensor life and performance. -
Page 25: Interfacing Hardware, Plugs And Lead Connectors
Interfacing Hardware, Plugs and Lead Connectors Turtle Tough’s quick connect plugs are a feature on all our ULTRA Series Sensors. This NEMA6P connector is fully submersible, is non-conductive plastic, low noise and small enough that it can easily fit through common conduit sizes. - Page 26 However please keep in mind that dropouts or connectivity issues cannot be supported if you are using your cables and you should always have at least one genuine Turtle Tough interface on hand for troubleshooting or testing. Please contact Turtle Tough for specifications.
