Several common installation methods of electrodes

When installing the sensor on site, you should strictly follow the correct installation method shown in the following picture. Incorrect installation method will cause data deviation.

A. Several common incorrect installation methods

image-20240718190204-2.png

Error cause: The electrode joint is too long, the extension part is too short, the sensor is easy to form a dead cavity, resulting in measurement error.

image-20240718190221-3.png

Error cause: Measurement error or instability may occur due to water flow not being able to fill the pipe or air accumulation at high altitudes.

B. Correct installation method

1.6 Maintenance

  • The equipment itself generally does not require daily maintenance. When an obvious fault occurs, please do not open it and repair it yourself, and contact us as soon as possible.
  • If the electrode is not used for a long time, it can generally be stored in a dry place, but it must be placed (stored) in distilled water for several hours before use to activate the electrode. Electrodes that are frequently used can be placed (stored) in distilled water.
  • Cleaning of conductivity electrodes: Organic stains on the electrode can be cleaned with warm water containing detergent, or with alcohol. Calcium and magnesium precipitates are best cleaned with 10% citric acid. The electrode plate or pole can only be cleaned by chemical methods or by shaking in water. Wiping the electrode plate will damage the coating (platinum black) on the electrode surface.
  • The equipment should be calibrated before each use. It is recommended to calibrate it every 3 months for long-term use. The calibration frequency should be adjusted appropriately according to different application conditions (degree of dirt in the application, deposition of chemical substances, etc.).

image-20240718191348-6.png

Pipeline installation:

Connect the equipment to the pipeline through the 3/4 thread.

image-20240718191336-5.png

Sampling:

Take representative water samples according to sampling requirements. If it is inconvenient to take samples, you can also put the electrode into the solution to be tested and read the output data. After a period of time, take out the electrode and clean it.

Measure the pH of the water sample:

First rinse the electrode with distilled water, then rinse it with the water sample, then immerse the electrode in the sample, carefully shake the test cup or stir it to accelerate the electrode balance, let it stand, and record the pH value when the reading is stable.

2.5 Maintenance

  • The equipment itself generally does not require daily maintenance. When an obvious fault occurs, please do not open it and repair it yourself. Contact us as soon as possible!
  • There is an appropriate amount of soaking solution in the protective bottle at the front end of the electrode. The electrode head is soaked in it to keep the glass bulb and the liquid junction activated. When measuring, loosen the bottle cap, pull out the electrode, and rinse it with pure water before use.
  • Preparation of electrode soaking solution: Take a packet of PH4.00 buffer, dissolve it in 250 ml of pure water, and soak it in 3M potassium chloride solution. The preparation is as follows: Take 25 grams of analytical pure potassium chloride and dissolve it in 100 ml of pure water.
  • The glass bulb at the front end of the electrode cannot come into contact with hard objects. Any damage and scratches will make the electrode ineffective.
  • Before measurement, the bubbles in the electrode glass bulb should be shaken off, otherwise it will affect the measurement. When measuring, the electrode should be stirred in the measured solution and then placed still to accelerate the response.
  • The electrode should be cleaned with deionized water before and after measurement to ensure accuracy.
  • After long-term use, the pH electrode will become passivated, which is characterized by a decrease in sensitivity gradient, slow response, and inaccurate readings. At this time, the bulb at the bottom of the electrode can be soaked in 0.1M dilute hydrochloric acid for 24 hours (0.1M dilute hydrochloric acid preparation: 9 ml of hydrochloric acid is diluted to 1000 ml with distilled water), and then soaked in 3.3M potassium chloride solution for 24 hours. If the pH electrode is seriously passivated and soaking in 0.1M hydrochloric acid has no effect, the pH electrode bulb can be soaked in 4% HF (hydrofluoric acid) for 3-5 seconds, washed with pure water, and then soaked in 3.3M potassium chloride solution for 24 hours to restore its performance.
  • Glass bulb contamination or liquid junction blockage can also cause electrode passivation. At this time, it should be cleaned with an appropriate solution according to the nature of the contaminant.
  • The equipment should be calibrated before each use. For long-term use, it is recommended to calibrate once every 3 months. The calibration frequency should be adjusted appropriately according to different application conditions (degree of dirt in the application, deposition of chemical substances, etc.). After aging, the electrodes should be replaced in time.

The query data command is 10 03 00 00 00 01 87 4B. After the query, 7 bytes will be returned.

For example, the returned data is 10 03 02 02 AE C4 9B.

02 AE is the pH value, which is converted into decimal to get 686, and then two decimal places are added to get the actual value. 02 AE means the current pH value is 6.86.

2.6.5 Calibration Method

This device uses three-point calibration, and three known pH standard solutions need to be prepared.

The calibration steps are as follows:

(1) Place the electrode in distilled water to clean it, and then place it in 9.18 standard buffer solution. After the data stabilizes, enter the following calibration command, and the 9.18 calibration is completed.

After the above three steps are completed, the calibration is successful. The advantage of three-point calibration compared to two-point calibration is that the electrode is calibrated separately in the acid and alkali parts, thereby achieving accurate calibration of the full range and making the measurement data more accurate.

3.5  Maintenance

(1) The equipment itself generally does not require daily maintenance. When an obvious fault occurs, please do not open it and repair it yourself, and contact us as soon as possible.

(2) In general, ORP electrodes do not need to be calibrated and can be used directly. When there is doubt about the quality and test results of the ORP electrode, the electrode potential can be checked with an ORP standard solution to determine whether the ORP electrode meets the measurement requirements, and the electrode can be recalibrated or replaced with a new ORP electrode. The frequency of calibration or inspection of the measuring electrode depends on different application conditions (the degree of dirt in the application, the deposition of chemical substances, etc.).

(3) There is an appropriate soaking solution in the protective bottle at the front end of the electrode, and the electrode head is soaked in it to ensure the activation of the platinum sheet and the liquid junction. When measuring, loosen the bottle cap, pull out the electrode, and rinse it with pure water before use.

(4) Preparation of electrode soaking solution: Take 25 grams of analytical pure potassium chloride and dissolve it in 100 ml of pure water to prepare a 3.3M potassium chloride solution.

(5) Before measuring, the bubbles in the electrode glass bulb should be shaken off, otherwise it will affect the measurement. When measuring, the electrode should be stirred in the measured solution and then placed still to accelerate the response.

(6) The electrode should be cleaned with deionized water before and after the measurement to ensure the measurement accuracy.

(7) After long-term use, the ORP electrode will be passivated, which is manifested as a decrease in sensitivity gradient, slow response, and inaccurate readings. At this time, the platinum sheet at the bottom of the electrode can be soaked in 0.1M dilute hydrochloric acid for 24 hours (0.1M dilute hydrochloric acid preparation: 9 ml of hydrochloric acid is diluted to 1000 ml with distilled water), and then soaked in 3.3M potassium chloride solution for 24 hours to restore its performance.

(8) Electrode contamination or liquid junction blockage can also cause electrode passivation. At this time, it should be cleaned with an appropriate solution according to the nature of the contaminant. If the platinum of the electrode is severely contaminated and an oxide film is formed, toothpaste can be applied to the platinum surface and then gently scrubbed to restore the platinum's luster.

(9) The equipment should be calibrated before each use. It is recommended to calibrate once every 3 months for long-term use. The calibration frequency should be adjusted appropriately according to different application conditions (degree of dirt in the application, deposition of chemical substances, etc.). After aging, the electrodes should be replaced in time.

6.5 Maintenance

  • The device itself generally does not require daily maintenance. When an obvious fault occurs, please do not open it and repair it yourself, and contact us as soon as possible!
  • After using the electrode, please clean the electrode head with clean water and cover it with a protective cover.
  • When measuring the device, the measured liquid should flow and the flow rate should be uniform, and there should be no bubbles attached to the measuring end of the device.
  • If the electrode diaphragm is attached with dirt and mineral components, the sensitivity will be reduced, and it may not be possible to perform sufficient measurement. Please ensure that the platinum ring is clean.
  • The platinum induction ring of a good residual chlorine electrode should always be kept clean and bright. If the platinum ring of the electrode becomes rough or covered with pollutants after measurement, please clean it according to the following method: (For reference) Inorganic pollution: immerse the electrode in 0.1mol/L dilute hydrochloric acid for 15 minutes, gently wipe the platinum ring of the residual chlorine electrode with a cotton swab, and then wash it with tap water.
  • Organic or oil pollution: immerse the electrode in tap water with a small amount of detergent, such as dishwashing liquid, and thoroughly clean the sensing surface of the electrode sensor. Gently wipe the platinum ring of the electrode with a cotton swab, then rinse with tap water, and the cleaning is complete. If the platinum ring of the electrode has formed an oxide film, please use toothpaste or 1000-grit fine sandpaper to properly polish the sensing surface, and then clean it with tap water. The platinum ring is connected to the glass, so please handle it carefully when polishing.
    The electrode has a service life of about one year, and a new electrode should be replaced in time after aging.
  • Before the cable plug and the device plug are locked, do not put the plug part into water.
