2.1 UNPACKING AND INSPECTION

Inspect the shipping container. If it is damaged, contact the shipper immediately for instructions. Save the box. If
there is no apparent damage, unpack the container. Be sure all items shown on the packing list are present. If
items are missing, notify Emerson Process Management immediately.
2.2 INSTALLATION
2.2.1 General Information
1. Although the transmitter is suitable for outdoor use, do not install it in direct sunlight or in areas of extreme
temperatures.
2. Install the transmitter in an area where vibrations and electromagnetic and radio frequency interference are
minimized or absent.
3. Keep the transmitter and sensor wiring at least one foot from high voltage conductors. Be sure there is easy
access to the transmitter.
4. The transmitter is suitable for panel, pipe, or surface mounting. Refer to the table below.
Type of Mounting Section

Panel 2.2.2
Pipe 2.2.3
Surface 2.2.4
5. The transmitter case has two 1/2-inch (PG13.5) conduit openings and four 1/2-inch knockouts. One conduit
opening is for the power/output cable; the other opening is for the sensor cable. The center knockout in the
bottom of the enclosure should be removed only if a second sensor is required, i.e., if free chlorine with con-
tinuous pH correction is being measured. (Note: Earlier versions of the Xmt-A-HT pipe/surface mount trans-
mitters may have three openings in the bottom of the enclosure. The transmitter is shipped with a NEMA 4X
plug installed in the center opening.)
Figure 2-1 shows how to remove a knockout. The knockout grooves
are on the outside of the case. Place the screwdriver blade on the
inside of the case and align it approximately along the groove. Rap
the screwdriver sharply with a hammer until the groove cracks.
Move the screwdriver to an uncracked portion of the groove and
continue the process until the knockout falls out. Use a small knife
to remove the flash from the inside of the hole.
6. Use weathertight cable glands to keep moisture out to the transmit-
ter. If conduit is used, plug and seal the connections at the trans-
mitter housing to prevent moisture from getting inside the instru-
ment.
7. To reduce the likelihood of stress on wiring connections, do not
remove the hinged front panel (-11 models) from the base during
wiring installation. Allow sufficient wire length to avoid stress on con- FIGURE 2-1. Removing the Knockouts

2.3 POWER SUPPLY/CURRENT LOOP

2.3.1 Power Supply and Load Requirements.
Refer to Figure 2-5.
The supply voltage must be at least 12.0 Vdc at the trans-
mitter terminals. The power supply must be able to cover the
voltage drop on the cable as well as the load resistor (250 Ω
minimum) required for HART communications. The maxi-
mum power supply voltage is 42.0 Vdc. For intrinsically
safe installations, the maximum power supply voltage is
30.0 Vdc. The graph shows load and power supply require-
ments. The upper line is the power supply voltage needed
to provide 12 Vdc at the transmitter terminals for a 22 mA
current. The lower line is the power supply voltage needed
to provide 30 Vdc for a 22 mA current.
The power supply must provide a surge current during the
first 80 milliseconds of startup. The maximum current is FIGURE 2-5. Load/Power Supply Requirements
about 24 mA.
For digital communications, the load must be at least 250 ohms. To supply the 12.0 Vdc lift off voltage at the transmitter,
the power supply voltage must be at least 17.5 Vdc.
2.3.2 Power Supply-Current Loop

Wiring.
Refer to Figures 2-6, 2-7, and 2-8.
Run the power/signal wiring through
the opening nearest TB-2.
For optimum EMI/RFI protection . . .
1. Use shielded power/signal cable
and ground the shield at the
power supply.
2. Use a metal cable gland and be
sure the shield makes good elec-
trical contact with the gland.
3. Use the metal backing plate (see
Figure 2-6) when attaching the
gland to transmitter enclosure.
The power/signal cable can also be
enclosed in an earth-grounded
metal conduit.
Do not run power supply/signal
wiring in the same conduit or cable
tray with AC power lines or with
relay actuated signal cables. Keep
power supply/signal wiring at least
6 ft (2 m) away from heavy electrical
equipment.

SENSOR WIRING
3.1 WIRING MODEL 499A OXYGEN, CHLORINE, MONOCHLORAMINE, AND OZONE SENSORS
All 499A sensors (499ADO, 499ATrDO, 499ACL-01, 499ACL-02, 499ACL-03, and 499AOZ) have identical wiring.
Use the pigtail wire and wire nuts provided with the sensor when more than one wire must be attached to a single termi-
nal.

SENSOR WIRING
3.2 WIRING MODEL 499ACL-01 (Free Chlorine) SENSORS AND pH SENSORS

If free chlorine is being measured and the pH of the liquid varies more than 0.2 pH unit, a continuous correction for pH
must be applied to the chlorine reading. Therefore, a pH sensor must be wired to the transmitter. This section gives wiring
diagrams for the pH sensors typically used.
When using the 499ACL-01 (free chlorine) sensor with a pH sensor, use the RTD in the pH sensor for measuring
temperature. DO NOT use the RTD in the chlorine sensor.
The pH sensor RTD is needed for temperature measurement during buffer calibration. During normal operation, the RTD
in the pH sensor provides the temperature measurement required for the free chlorine membrane permeability correction.
Refer to the table to select the appropriate wiring diagram. Most of the wiring diagrams require that two or more shield
wires be attached to a single terminal. Use the pigtail wire and wire nuts provided with the chlorine sensor to make the con-
nection. Insulate and tape back unused wires.

5.5 USING HOLD

5.5.1 Purpose
The transmitter output is always proportional to the process variable (oxygen, free chlorine, total chlorine, mono-
chloramine, or ozone). To prevent improper operation of control systems or dosing pumps, place the transmitter in
hold before removing the sensor for maintenance. Be sure to remove the transmitter from hold once the work is
complete and the sensor has been returned to the process liquid. During hold the transmitter current goes to the
value programmed by the user. Once in hold, the transmitter remains there indefinitely. While in hold, the word
"hold" appears periodically in the display.

6.3 Operation
6.3.1 Off-line and On-line Operation
The Model 375 Communicator features off-line and on-line communications. On-line means the communicator is
connected to the transmitter in the usual fashion. While the communicator is on line, the operator can view meas-
urement data, change program settings, and read diagnostic messages. Off-line means the communicator is not
connected to the transmitter. When the communicator is off line, the operator can still program settings into the
communicator. Later, after the communicator has been connected to a transmitter, the operator can transfer the
programmed settings to the transmitter. Off-line operation permits settings common to several transmitters to be
easily stored in all of them.

7.3 CONFIGURING AND RANGING THE OUTPUT

7.3.1 Purpose
1. Configuring an output means
a. displaying the output reading in units of mA or percent of full scale.
b. changing the time constant for output dampening.
c. assigning the value the output current will take if the transmitter detects a fault in itself or the sensor.
2. Ranging the output means assigning values to the 4 mA and 20 mA outputs.
3. Testing an output means entering a test value from the keypad to check the operation of recorders or controllers.
4. Trimming an output means calibrating the 4 and 20 mA current outputs against a referee milliammeter.
7.3.2 Definitions
1. CURRENT OUTPUT. The transmitter provides a continuous 4-20 mA output current directly proportional to the
concentration of oxygen, ozone, chlorine, or monochloramine in the sample.
2. FAULT. The transmitter continuously monitors itself and the sensor for faults. If the transmitter detects a fault, the
4-20 mA output can be programmed to go to a fixed value or it can be programmed to continue to display the live
current reading. In any event Fault appears intermittently in the second line of the display.
3. DAMPEN. Output dampening smooths out noisy readings. But it also increases the response time of the output. To
estimate the time (in minutes) required for the output to reach 95% of the final reading following a step change, divide
the setting by 20. Thus, a setting of 140 means that, following a step change, the output takes about seven minutes
to reach 95% of final reading. The output dampen setting does not affect the response time of the process display. The
maximum setting is 255.
4. TEST. The transmitter can be programmed to generate a test current.

7.4 CHOOSING AND CONFIGURING THE ANALYTICAL MEASUREMENT

7.4.1 Purpose
This section describes how to do the following:
1. Configure the transmitter to measure oxygen, ozone, free chlorine, total chlorine, or monochloramine.
2. Choose the concentration units to be displayed
3. Set an input filter for the raw sensor current.
4. If oxygen was selected, there are additional selections to make.
a. identify the type of sensor being used
b. choose the units in which barometric pressure will be displayed
c. select a process pressure for calculating % saturation
d. enter the salinity of the process liquid
5. If free chlorine was selected, there are additional selections and settings to make.
a. choose automatic or manual pH correction
b. configure the pH sensor if automatic pH correction was selected
c. choose single or dual slope calibration
6. If total chlorine was selected, single or dual slope calibration must also be specified.
7.4.2 Definitions
1. MEASUREMENT. The transmitter can be configured to measure dissolve oxygen (ppm and ppb level), free chlorine,
total chlorine, monochloramine, and ozone.
2. FREE CHLORINE. Free chlorine is the product of adding sodium hypochlorite (bleach) or chlorine gas to fresh water.
Free chlorine is the sum of hypochlorous acid (HOCl) and hypochlorite ion (OCl-).
3. TOTAL CHLORINE. Total chlorine is the sum of free and combined chlorine. Combined chlorine generally refers to
chlorine oxidants in which chlorine is combined with ammonia or organic amines. The term total chlorine also refers to
other chlorine oxidants such as chlorine dioxide. To measure total chlorine, the sample must first be treated with acetic
acid and potassium iodide. Total chlorine reacts with iodide to produce an equivalent amount of iodine, which the sen-
sor measures.
4. MONOCHLORAMINE. Monochloramine (NH2Cl) is commonly used in the United States for disinfecting drinking water.
It is made by first treating the water with ammonia followed by just the exact amount of chlorine to completely react
with the ammonia. Monochloramine is a useful disinfectant in waters that have a tendency to produce trihalomethanes
(THMs) when treated free chlorine.
5. BAROMETRIC PRESSURE (DISSOLVED OXYGEN ONLY). Dissolved oxygen sensors are usually calibrated by
exposing them to air. The sensor current in air is exactly the same as the current when the sensor is in water saturat-
ed with air. The maximum solubility of atmospheric oxygen in water depends on temperature and barometric pressure.
A temperature device in the oxygen sensor measures temperature. The user must enter the barometric pressure.
6. PERCENT SATURATION (DISSOLVED OXYGEN ONLY). Percent saturation is the ratio of the concentration of dis-
solved oxygen in a sample to the maximum amount of oxygen the sample can hold at the same temperature. Pressure
also affects the percent saturation. Usually, percent saturation is calculated using the barometric pressure during cal-
ibration. If the user desires, percent saturation can also be calculated using the process pressure.
42
7. SALINITY (DISSOLVED OXYGEN ONLY). The solubility of oxygen in water depends on the concentration of dis-
solved salts in water. Increasing the concentration decreases the solubility. If the salt concentration is greater than
about 1000 ppm, the accuracy of the measurement can be improved by applying a salinity correction. Enter the salin-
ity as parts per thousand. One percent is ten parts per thousand.
8. pH CORRECTION (FREE CHLORINE ONLY). Free chlorine is the sum of hypochlorous acid (HOCl) and hypochlorite
ion (OCl-). The relative amount of each depends on pH. As pH increases, the fraction of free chlorine present as HOCl
decreases and the fraction present as OCl- increases. Because the sensor responds only to HOCl, a correction is nec-
essary to convert the sensor current into a free chlorine reading. The Solu Comp Xmt uses both automatic and man-
ual pH correction. In automatic pH correction the transmitter continuously monitors the pH of the sample and corrects
the free chlorine reading for changes in pH. In manual pH correction, the user enters the pH of the sample. Generally,
if the pH varies more than about 0.2 units over short periods of time, automatic pH correction is best. If the pH is rel-
atively steady or subject only to seasonal changes, manual pH correction is adequate.
9. pH SETTINGS (FREE CHLORINE ONLY). If you are measuring free chlorine with continuous (automatic) pH correc-
tion, there are additional pH settings to make.
a. PREAMPLIFIER. The raw pH signal is a high impedance voltage. A voltage follower or preamplifier, located either
in the sensor or transmitter, converts the high impedance signal into a low impedance one. Normally, high imped-
ance signals should be sent no further than about 15 feet.
b. REFERENCE OFFSET. Ideally, a pH sensor in pH 7 buffer should have a voltage of 0 mV. The difference between
the measured voltage in pH 7 buffer and the ideal value is the reference offset. Typically, the reference offset is
less than 60 mV.
c. DIAGNOSTICS. The Solu Comp Xmt continuously monitors the pH sensor for faults. If it detects a fault, the trans-
mitter displays a fault message.
d. GLASS IMPEDANCE. The transmitter monitors the condition of the pH-sensitive glass membrane in the sensor by
continuously measuring the impedance across the membrane. Typical impedance is between 100 and 500 MΩ.
Low impedance (<10 MΩ) implies the glass bulb has cracked and the sensor must be replaced. An extremely high
impedance (>1000 MΩ) implirs the sensor is aging and may soon need replacement. High impedance might also
mean that the glass membrane is no longer immersed in the process liquid.
10. DUAL SLOPE CALIBRATION (FREE AND TOTAL CHLORINE ONLY). The Model 499ACL-01 (free chlorine) and
499ACL-02 (total chlorine) sensors lose sensitivity at high concentrations of chlorine. The Solu Comp Xmt has a dual
slope feature that allows the user to compensate for the non-linearity of the sensor. For the vast majority of applica-
tions, dual slope calibration is unnecessary.
11. INPUT FILTER. The raw sensor current can be filtered to reduce noise. Filtering also increases the response time. The
filter is the time required for the input to reach 63% of its final reading following a step change.

2. Choose automatic or manual temperature correction for membrane permeability.
3. Choose automatic or manual temperature compensation for pH (pH settings apply to free chlorine only).
4. Enter a temperature for manual temperature compensation.
7.5.2 Definitions — oxygen, ozone, chlorine, and monochloramine

1. AUTOMATIC TEMPERATURE CORRECTION. Membrane-covered amperometric sensors produce a current directly
proportional to the rate the analyte (the substance being measured) diffuses through the membrane. The diffusion
rate is proportional to the concentration of analyte and the temperature. As temperature increases, membrane per-
meability increases. Thus, an increase in temperature will cause the sensor current to increase even though the
analyte level remained constant. A correction equation in the transmitter software automatically corrects for changes
in membrane permeability. In automatic temperature correction, the transmitter uses the temperature measured by
the sensor for the correction.
2. MANUAL TEMPERATURE CORRECTION. In manual temperature correction the transmitter uses the temperature
entered by the user for the membrane permeability correction. It does not use the actual process temperature. Do
NOT use manual temperature correction unless the measurement and calibration temperatures differ by no more
than about 2°C. Manual temperature correction is useful only if the sensor temperature element has failed and a
replacement sensor is not available.
7.5.3 Definitions — pH
1. AUTOMATIC TEMPERATURE COMPENSATION. The transmitter uses a temperature-dependent factor to convert
measured cell voltage to pH. In automatic temperature compensation, the transmitter measures the temperature and
automatically calculates the correct conversion factor. For maximum accuracy, use automatic temperature compen-
sation.
2. MANUAL TEMPERATURE COMPENSATION. In manual temperature compensation, the transmitter converts meas-
ured voltage to pH using the temperature entered by the user. It does not use the actual process temperature. Do
NOT use manual temperature compensation unless the process temperature varies no more than about ±2°C or the
pH is between 6 and 8. Manual temperature compensation is useful if the sensor temperature element has failed
and a replacement sensor is not available.

CALIBRATION — TEMPERATURE
SECTION 8.0
8.1 INTRODUCTION
All five amperometric sensors (oxygen, ozone, free chlorine, total chlorine, and monochloramine) are membrane-
covered sensors. As the sensor operates, the analyte (the substance to be determined) diffuses through the mem-
brane and is consumed at an electrode immediately behind the membrane. The reaction produces a current that
depends on the rate at which the analyte diffuses through the membrane. The diffusion rate, in turn, depends on the
concentration of the analyte and how easily it passes through the membrane (the membrane permeability). Because
the membrane permeability is a function of temperature, the sensor current will change if the temperature changes.
To correct for changes in sensor current caused by temperature, the transmitter automatically applies a membrane
permeability correction. Although the membrane permeability is different for each sensor, the change is about 3%/°C
at 25°C, so a 1°C error in temperature produces about a 3% error in the reading.
Temperature plays an additional role in oxygen measurements. Oxygen sensors are calibrated by exposing them
to water-saturated air, which, from the point of view of the sensor, is equivalent to water saturated with atmospheric
oxygen (see Section 9.0 for more information). During calibration, the transmitter calculates the solubility of atmos-
pheric oxygen in water using the following steps. First, the transmitter measures the temperature. From the tem-
perature, the transmitter calculates the vapor pressure of water and, using the barometric pressure, calculates the
partial pressure of atmospheric oxygen. Once the transmitter knows the partial pressure, it calculates the equilib-
rium solubility of oxygen in water using a temperature-dependent factor called the Bunsen coefficient. Overall, a
1°C error in the temperature measurement produces about a 2% error in the solubility calculated during calibra-
tion and about the same error in subsequent measurements.
Temperature is also important in the pH measurement required to correct free chlorine readings.
1. The transmitter uses a temperature dependent factor to convert measured cell voltage to pH. Normally, a slight
inaccuracy in the temperature reading is unimportant unless the pH reading is significantly different from 7.00.
Even then, the error is small. For example, at pH 12 and 25°C, a 1°C error produces a pH error less than ±0.02.
2. During auto calibration, the transmitter recognizes the buffer being used and calculates the actual pH of the
buffer at the measured temperature. Because the pH of most buffers changes only slightly with temperature,
reasonable errors in temperature do not produce large errors in the buffer pH. For example, a 1°C error caus-
es at most an error of ±0.03 in the calculated buffer pH.
Without calibration the accuracy of the temperature measurement is about ±0.4°C. Calibrate the transmitter if
1. ±0.4°C accuracy is not acceptable
2. the temperature measurement is suspected of being in error. Calibrate temperature by making the transmit-
terreading match the temperature measured with a standard thermometer.
50
8.2 PROCEDURE: CALIBRATING TEMPERATURE

1. Remove the sensor from the process liquid. Place it in an insulated container of water along with a calibrated
thermometer. Submerge at least the bottom two inches of the sensor. Stir continuously.
2. Allow the sensor to reach thermal equilibrium. For some sensors, the time constant for a change in tempera-
ture is 5 min., so it may take as long as 30 min. for temperature equilibration.

CALIBRATION — DISSOLVED OXYGEN
SECTION 9.0
9.1 INTRODUCTION
As Figure 9-1 shows, oxygen sensors generate a current directly proportional to the concentration of dissolved
oxygen in the sample. Calibrating the sensor requires exposing it to a solution containing no oxygen (zero stan-
dard) and to a solution containing a known amount of oxygen (full-scale standard).
The zero standard is necessary because oxygen sensors, even when no oxygen is present in the sample, gener-
ate a small current called the residual current. The transmitter compensates for the residual current by subtracting
it from the measured current before converting the result to a dissolved oxygen value. New sensors require zero-
ing before being placed in service, and sensors should be zeroed whenever the electrolyte solution is replaced.
The recommended zero standard is 5% sodium sulfite in water, although oxygen-free nitrogen can also be used.
The Model 499A TrDO sensor, used for the determination of trace (ppb) oxygen levels, has very low resid-
ual current and does not normally require zeroing. The residual current in the 499A TrDO sensor is equivalent
to less than 0.5 ppb oxygen.
The purpose of the full-scale standard is to establish the slope of the calibration curve. Because the solubility of
atmospheric oxygen in water as a function of temperature and barometric pressure is well known, the natural
choice for a full-scale standard is air-saturated water. However, air-saturated water is difficult to prepare and use,
so the universal practice is to use air for calibration. From the point of view of the oxygen sensor, air and air-sat-
urated water are identical. The equivalence comes about because the sensor really measures the chemical poten-
tial of oxygen. Chemical potential is the force that causes oxygen molecules to diffuse from the sample into the
sensor where they can be measured. It is also the force that causes oxygen molecules in air to dissolve in water
and to continue to dissolve until the water is saturated with oxygen. Once the water is saturated, the chemical
potential of oxygen in the two phases (air and water) is the same.
Oxygen sensors generate a current directly proportional to the rate at which oxygen molecules diffuse through a
membrane stretched over the end of the sensor. The diffusion rate depends on the difference in chemical poten-
tial between oxygen in the sensor and oxygen in the sample. An electrochemical reaction, which destroys any oxy-
gen molecules entering the sensor, keeps the concentration (and the chemical potential) of oxygen inside the sen-
sor equal to zero. Therefore, the chemical potential of oxygen in the sample alone determines the diffusion rate
and the sensor current.
When the sensor is calibrated, the chemical potential of oxygen in the standard determines the sensor current.
Whether the sensor is calibrated in air or air-saturated water is immaterial. The chemical potential of oxygen is the
same in either phase. Normally, to make the calculation of solubility in common units (like ppm DO) simpler, it is
convenient to use water-saturated air for calibration.
Automatic air calibration is standard. The user simply exposes the sensor to water-saturated air. The transmitter
monitors the sensor current. When the current is stable, the transmitter stores the current and measures the tem-
perature using a temperature element inside the oxygen sensor. The user must enter the barometric pressure.
From the temperature the transmitter calculates the satu-
ration vapor pressure of water. Next, it calculates the pres-
sure of dry air by subtracting the vapor pressure from the
barometric pressure. Using the fact that dry air always con-
tains 20.95% oxygen, the transmitter calculates the partial
pressure of oxygen. Once the transmitter knows the partial
pressure of oxygen, it uses the Bunsen coefficient to cal-
culate the equilibrium solubility of atmospheric oxygen in
water at the prevailing temperature. At 25°C and 760 mm
Hg, the equilibrium solubility is 8.24 ppm.
Often it is too difficult or messy to remove the sensor from
the process liquid for calibration. In this case, the sensor
can be calibrated against a measurement made with a
portable laboratory instrument. The laboratory instrument
typically uses a membrane-covered amperometric sensor
that has been calibrated against water-saturated air. FIGURE 9-1. Sensor Current as a Function of
Dissolved Oxygen Concentration

9.2 PROCEDURE — ZEROING THE SENSOR

1. Place the sensor in a fresh solution of 5% sodium sulfite (Na2SO3) in water. Be sure air bubbles are not
trapped against the membrane. The current will drop rapidly at first and then gradually reach a stable zero
value. To monitor the sensor current, go to the main display and press ê until the input current screen appears.

9.3 PROCEDURE - CALIBRATING THE SENSOR IN AIR

1. Remove the sensor from the process liquid. Use a soft tissue and a stream of water from a wash bottle to clean
the membrane. Blot dry. The membrane must be dry during air calibration.
2. Pour some water in a beaker and suspend the sensor with the membrane about 0.5 inch (1 cm) above the wa-
ter surface. To avoid drift caused by temperature changes, keep the sensor out of the direct sun.
3. Monitor the dissolved oxygen reading and the temperature. Once readings have stopped drifting begin the cal-
ibration. It may take 5-10 minutes for the sensor reading to stabilize. Stabilization time may be even longer if
the process temperature is appreciably different from the air temperature. For an accurate calibration, the tem-
perature measured by the sensor must be stable.

CALIBRATION - FREE CHLORINE
SECTION 10.0
CALIBRATION — FREE CHLORINE
10.1 INTRODUCTION
As Figure 10-1 shows, a free chlorine sensor generates a current directly proportional to the concentration of free
chlorine in the sample. Calibrating the sensor requires exposing it to a solution containing no chlorine (zero stan-
dard) and to a solution containing a known amount of chlorine (full-scale standard).
The zero standard is necessary because chlorine sensors, even when no chlorine is in the sample, generate a
small current called the residual current. The transmitter compensates for the residual current by subtracting it
from the measured current before converting the result to a chlorine value. New sensors require zeroing before
being placed in service, and sensors should be zeroed whenever the electrolyte solution is replaced. Either of the
following makes a good zero standard:
• Deionized water containing about 500 ppm sodium chloride. Dissolve 0.5 grams (1/8 teaspoonful) of table
salt in 1 liter of water. DO NOT USE DEIONIZED WATER ALONE FOR ZEROING THE SENSOR. THE
CONDUCTIVITY OF THE ZERO WATER MUST BE GREATER THAN 50 μS/cm.
• Tap water known to contain no chlorine. Expose tap water to bright sunlight for at least 24 hours.
The purpose of the full-scale standard is to establish the slope of the calibration curve. Because stable chlorine
standards do not exist, the sensor must be calibrated against a test run on a grab sample of the process liq-
uid. Several manufacturers offer portable test kits for this purpose. Observe the following precautions when tak-
ing and testing the grab sample.
• Take the grab sample from a point as close to the sensor as possible. Be sure that taking the sample does
not alter the flow of the sample to the sensor. It is best to install the sample tap just downstream from the
sensor.
• Chlorine solutions are unstable. Run the test immediately after taking the sample. Try to calibrate the sen-
sor when the chlorine concentration is at the upper end of the normal operating range.
Free chlorine measurements made with the 499ACL-01 sensor also require a pH correction. Free chlorine is the sum of
hypochlorous acid (HOCl) and hyprochlorite ion (OCl-). The relative amount of each depends on the pH. As pH increas-
es, the concentration of HOCl decreases and the concentration of OCl- increases. Because the sensor responds only
to HOCl, a pH correction is necessary to properly convert the sensor current into a free chlorine reading.
The transmitter uses both automatic and manual pH correction. In automatic pH correction, the transmitter con-
tinuously monitors the pH of the solution and corrects the free chlorine reading for changes in pH. In manual pH
correction, the transmitter uses a fixed pH value entered by the user to make the correction. Generally, if the pH
changes more than about 0.2 units over short periods of time, automatic pH correction is best. If the pH is rela-
tively steady or subject only to seasonal changes, manual pH correction is adequate.
During calibration, the transmitter must know the pH of the sample. If the transmitter is using automatic pH cor-
rection, the pH sensor (properly calibrated) must be in the process liquid before starting the calibration. If the
transmitter is using manual pH correction, be sure to enter the pH value before starting the calibration.
The Model 499ACL-01 free chlo-
rine sensor loses sensitivity at high
concentrations of chlorine. The
Model Xmt-A-HT has a dual slope
feature that allows the user to
compensate for the non-linearity of
the sensor. However, for the vast
majority of applications, dual slope
calibration is unnecessary.

1. Place the sensor in the zero standard (see Section 10.1). Be sure no air bubbles are trapped against the mem-
brane. The sensor current will drop rapidly at first and then gradually reach a stable zero value. To monitor the
sensor current, go to the main display and press ê until the input current screen appears. Note the units: nA

10.4 DUAL SLOPE CALIBRATION

Figure 10.2 shows the principle of dual slope calibration. Between zero and concentration C1, the sensor re-
sponse is linear. When the concentration of chlorine becomes greater than C1, the response is non-linear. In spite
of the non-linearity, the sensor response between C1 and C2 can be approximated by a straight line.
Dual slope calibration is rarely needed. It is probably useful in fewer than 5% of applications.
1. Be sure the transmitter has been configured for dual slope
calibration. See Section 7.4.
2. Place the sensor in the zero solution. (see Section 10.1).
Be sure no air bubbles are trapped against the membrane.
The sensor current will drop rapidly at first and then grad-

CALIBRATION - TOTAL CHLORINE
SECTION 11.0
CALIBRATION — TOTAL CHLORINE
11.1 INTRODUCTION
Total chlorine is the sum of free and combined chlorine. The continuous determination of total chlorine requires two
steps. See Figure 11-1. First, the sample flows into a conditioning system (SCS 921A) where a pump continuous-
ly adds acetic acid and potassium iodide to the sample. The acid lowers the pH, which allows total chlorine in the
sample to quantitatively oxidize the iodide in the reagent to iodine. In the second step, the treated sample flows to
the sensor. The sensor is a membrane-covered amperometric sensor, whose output is proportional to the con-
centration of iodine. Because the concentration of iodine is proportional to the concentration of total chlorine, the
transmitter can be calibrated to read total chlorine.
Figure 11-2 shows a typical calibration curve for a total chlorine sensor. Because the sensor really measures
iodine, calibrating the sensor requires exposing it to a solution containing no iodine (zero standard) and to a solu-
tion containing a known amount of iodine (full-scale standard).
The zero standard is necessary because the sensor, even when no iodine is present, generates a small current
called the residual current. The transmitter compensates for the residual current by subtracting it from the meas-
ured current before converting the result to a total chlorine value. New sensors require zeroing before being
placed in service, and sensors should be zeroed whenever the electrolyte solution is replaced. The best zero stan-
dard is sample without reagent added.
The purpose of the full-scale standard is to
establish the slope of the calibration curve.
Because stable total chlorine standards do not
exist, the sensor must be calibrated against
a test run on a grab sample of the process
liquid. Several manufacturers offer portable
test kits for this purpose. Observe the following
precautions when taking and testing the grab
sample.
• Take the grab sample from a point as close
as possible to the inlet of the SCS921 sam-
ple conditioning system. Be sure that taking
the sample does not alter the flow through
the SCS921A. FIGURE 11-1. Determination of Total Chlorine
• Chlorine solutions are unstable. Run the
test immediately after taking the sample.
Try to calibrate the sensor when the chlo-
rine concentration is at the upper end of
the normal operating range.
The Model 499ACL-02 (total chlorine) sensor
loses sensitivity at high concentrations of chlo-
rine. The Model Xmt-A-HT has a dual slope
feature that allows the user to compensate for
the non-linearity of the sensor. However, for
the vast majority of applications, dual slope
calibration is unnecessary.

CALIBRATION - MONOCHLORAMINE
SECTION 12.0
12.1 INTRODUCTION
As Figure 12-1 shows, a monochloramine sensor generates a current directly proportional to the concentration of
monochloramine in the sample. Calibrating the sensor requires exposing it to a solution containing no monochlo-
ramine (zero standard) and to a solution containing a known amount of monochloramine (full-scale standard).
The zero standard is necessary because monochloramine sensors, even when no monochloramine is in the
sample, generate a small current called the residual or zero current. The transmitter compensates for the resid-
ual current by subtracting it from the measured current before converting the result to a monochloramine value.
New sensors require zeroing before being placed in service, and sensors should be zeroed whenever the elec-
trolyte solution is replaced. The best zero standard is deionized water.
The purpose of the full-scale standard is to establish the slope of the calibration curve. Because stable mono-
chloramine standards do not exist, the sensor must be calibrated against a test run on a grab sample of the

As Figure 13-1 shows, an ozone sensor generates a current directly proportional to the concentration of ozone in

solution containing a known amount of ozone (full-scale standard).
The zero standard is necessary because ozone sensors, even when no ozone is in the sample, generate a small
current called the residual or zero current. The transmitter compensates for the residual current by subtracting it

CALIBRATION - pH
SECTION 14.0
CALIBRATION — pH
14.1 INTRODUCTION
A new pH sensor must be calibrated before use. Regular recalibration is also necessary.
A pH measurement cell (pH sensor and the solution to be measured) can be pictured as a battery with an extreme-
ly high internal resistance. The voltage of the battery depends on the pH of the solution. The pH meter, which is
basically a voltmeter with a very high input impedance, measures the cell voltage and calculates pH using a con-
version factor. The actual value of the voltage-to-pH conversion factor depends on the sensitivity of the pH sens-
ing element (and the temperature). The sensing element is a thin, glass membrane at the end of the sensor. As
the glass membrane ages, the sensitivity drops. Regular recalibration corrects for the loss of sensitivity. pH cali-
bration standards, also called buffers, are readily available.
Two-point calibration is standard. Both automatic calibration and manual calibration are available. Auto calibration
avoids common pitfalls and reduces errors. Its use is recommended.
In automatic calibration the transmitter recognizes the buffer and uses temperature-corrected pH values in the cal-
ibration. The table below lists the standard buffers the controller recognizes. The controller also recognizes sever-
al technical buffers: Merck, Ingold, and DIN 19267. Temperature-pH data stored in the controller are valid between
at least 0 and 60°C.

During automatic calibration, the transmitter also measures

noise and drift and does not accept calibration data until
readings are stable. Calibration data will be accepted as
soon as the pH reading is constant to within the factory-set
limits of 0.02 pH units for 10 seconds. The stability settings
can be changed. See Section 7.10.
In manual calibration, the user judges when pH readings are
stable. He also has to look up the pH of the buffer at the
temperature it is being used and enter the value in the trans-
mitter.
Once the transmitter completes the calibration, it calculates
the calibration slope and offset. The slope is reported as the
slope at 25°C. Figure 14-1 defines the terms.
The transmitter can also be standardized. Standardization is FIGURE 14-1. Calibration Slope and Offset

76
CALIBRATION - pH
14.4 PROCEDURE — STANDARDIZATION

1. The pH measured by the transmitter can be changed to match the reading from a second or referee instru-
ment. The process of making the two readings agree is called standardization.
2. During standardization, the difference between the two values is converted to the equivalent voltage. The volt-
age, called the reference offset, is added to all subsequent measured cell voltages before they are converted
to pH. If after standardization the sensor is placed in a buffer solution, the measured pH will differ from the
buffer pH by an amount equivalent to the standardization offset.
3. Install the pH sensor in the process liquid.
4. Once readings are stable, measure the pH of the liquid using a referee instrument.
5. Because the pH of the process liquid may change if the temperature changes, measure the pH of the grab
sample immediately after taking it.
6. For poorly buffered samples, it is best to determine the pH of a continuously flowing sample from a point as
close as possible to the sensor.

SECTION 15.0
TROUBLESHOOTING
15.1 OVERVIEW
The Xmt-A-HT transmitter continuously monitors itself and the sensor for problems. If the transmitter detects a
problem, the word "fault" or "warn" appears in the main display alternating with the measurement.
A fault condition means the measurement is seriously in error and is not to be trusted. A fault condition might also
mean that the transmitter has failed. Fault conditions must be corrected immediately. When a fault occurs the out-
put goes to 22.00 mA or the to value programmed in Section 7.3. The output can also be programmed to reflect
the live measurement.
A warning means that the instrument is usable, but steps should be taken as soon as possible to correct the con-
dition causing the warning.
See Section 15.2 for an explanation of fault and warning messages and suggested corrective actions.
The Xmt-A-HT also displays error and warning messages if a calibration is seriously in error. Refer to the section
below for assistance. Each section also contains hints for correcting other measurement and calibration problems.

15.2.1 RTD Open, RTD Ω Overrange, Temperature High, Temperature Low

These messages usually mean that the RTD (or thermistor in the case of the HX438 and GX448 sensors) is open or short-
ed or there is an open or short in the connecting wiring.
1. Verify all wiring connections, including wiring in a junction box, if one is being used.
2. Disconnect the RTD IN, RTD SENSE, and RTD RETURN leads or the thermistor leads at the transmitter. Be sure to
note the color of the wire and where it was attached. Measure the resistance between the RTD IN and RETURN leads.
For a thermistor, measure the resistance between the two leads. The resistance should be close to the value in the
table in Section 15.14.2. If the temperature element is open (infinite resistance) or shorted (very low resistance),
replace the sensor. In the meantime, use manual temperature compensation.
3. For oxygen measurements using the HX438 and GX448 sensors, or other steam-sterilizable sensor using a 22kNTC,
the Temperature High error will appear if the transmitter was not properly configured. See Section 7.4.

TROUBLESHOOTING
15.2.2 Broken pH Glass and pH Glass Z High

These messages mean that the pH sensor glass impedance is outside the programmed limits. To read the impedance go
to the main display and press ê until Glass Imp appears in the display. The default lower limit is 10 MΩ. The default upper
limit is 1000 MΩ. Low glass impedance means the glass membrane — the sensing element in a pH sensor — is cracked
or broken. High glass impedance means the membrane is aging and nearing the end of its useful life. High impedance can
also mean the pH sensor is not completely submerged in the process liquid.
1. Check the sensor wiring, including connections in a junction box.
2. Verify that the sensor is completely submerged in the process liquid.
3. Verify that the software switch identifying the position of the preamplifier is properly set. See Section 7.4.
4. Check the sensor response in buffers. If the sensor can be calibrated, it is in satisfactory condition. To disable the fault
message, reprogram the glass impedance limits to include the measured impedance. If the sensor cannot be cali-
brated, it has failed and must be replaced.
15.2.3 ADC Read Error

The analog to digital converter has probably failed.
1. Verify that sensor wiring is correct and connections are tight. Be sure to check connections at the junction box if one
is being used. See Section 3.1 for wiring information.
2. Disconnect the sensor(s) and simulate temperature and sensor input.
To simulate See Section
Dissolved oxygen 15.11
Ozone, monochloramine, chlorine 15.12
pH 15.13
Temperature 15.14
3. If the transmitter does not respond to simulate signals, call the factory for assistance.
15.2.4 PV>DisplayLimit, Sensor Curr High, Sensor Curr Low.

The first two messages imply that the amperometric sensor current is very high (greater than 210 µA) or the sensor cur-
rent has a very large negative number. Normally, excessive current or negative current implies that the amperometric sen-
sor is miswired or has failed. Occasionally, these messages may appear when a new sensor is first placed in service.
1. Verify that wiring is correct and connections are tight. Be sure to check connections at the junction box if one is being
used. Pay particular attention the anode and cathode connections.
2. Verify that the transmitter is configured for the correct measurement. See Section 7.4. Configuring the measurements
sets (among other things) the polarizing voltage. Applying the wrong polarizing voltage to the sensor can cause a large
negative current.
3. If the sensor was just placed in service, put the sensor in the zero solution and observe the sensor current. It should
be moving fairly quickly toward zero. To view the sensor current go to the main display and press ê until Input Current
appears. Note the units: nA is nanoamps, µA is microamps.
4. Replace the sensor membrane and electrolyte solution and clean the cathode if necessary. See the sensor instruction
sheet for details.
5. Replace the sensor.
81
TROUBLESHOOTING
15.2.5 Need Zero Cal

Need Zero Cal means the measured concentration is a large negative number. The transmitter subtracts the zero current
from the measured current before converting the result to a concentration reading. If the zero current is much greater than
the measured current, the concentration reading will be negative.
1. Check the zero current and the present sensor current. To view the zero current, go to the main display and press ê
until Zero Current appears. The value shown is the zero current the last time the sensor was zeroed. To view the pres-
ent sensor current, go to the main display and press ê until Input Current appears. Note the units: nA is nanoamps,
µA is microamps.
2. Refer to the appropriate section for calibrating the sensor. Place the sensor in the zero solution. Verify that the sensor
reading is within or at least very close to the zero current limits. It may take as long as overnight for the sensor to reach
a stable zero current.
15.2.6 pH mV Too High

This message means the raw millivolt signal from the sensor is outside the range -2100 to 2100 mV.
1. Verify all wiring connections, including connections in a junction box.
2. Check that the pH sensor is completely submerged in the process liquid.
3. Check the pH sensor for cleanliness. If the sensor look fouled of dirty, clean it. Refer to the sensor instruction manual
for cleaning procedures.
15.2.7 No pH Soln GND

In the transmitter, the solution ground (Soln GND) terminal is connected to instrument common. Normally, unless the pH
sensor has a solution ground, the reference terminal must be jumpered to the solution ground terminal. HOWEVER, WHEN
THE pH SENSOR IS USED WITH A FREE CHLORINE SENSOR THIS CONNECTION IS NEVER MADE.
15.2.8 Sense Line Open

Most Rosemount Analytical sensors use a Pt100 or Pt1000 RTD in a three-wire configuration (see Figure 15-4). The in and
return leads connect the RTD to the measuring circuit in the transmitter. A third wire, called the sense line, is connected to
the return lead. The sense line allows the transmitter to correct for the resistance of the in and return leads and to correct
for changes in lead wire resistance with changes in ambient temperature.
1. Verify that all wiring connections are secure, including connections in a junction box.
2. Disconnect the RTD SENSE and RTD RETURN wires. Measure the resistance between the leads. It should be less
than 5Ω.
3. The transmitter can be operated with the sense line open. The measurement will be less accurate because the trans-
mitter can no longer compensate for lead wire resistance. However, if the sensor is to be used at approximately con-
stant ambient temperature, the lead wire resistance error can be eliminated by calibrating the sensor at the measure-
ment temperature. Errors caused by changes in ambient temperature cannot be eliminated. To make the warning mes-
sage disappear, connect the RTD SENSE and RETURN terminals with a jumper.
15.2.9 Need Factory Cal

This warning message means the transmitter requires factory calibration. Call the factory for assistance.

15.2.11 EE Buffer Overflow

EE Buffer Overflow means the software is trying to change too many background variables at once. Remove
power from the transmitter for about 30 seconds. If the warning message does not disappear once power is
restored, call the factory for assistance.
15.2.12 EE Chksum Error

EE Chksum Error means a software setting changed when it was not supposed to. The EEPROM may be going
bad. Call the factory for assistance.
15.2.13 EE Write Error

EE Write Error usually means at least one byte in the EEPROM has gone bad. Try entering the data again. If the

TROUBLESHOOTING
15.4.1 Zero current is too high

A. Is the sensor properly wired to the analyzer? See Section 3.0.
B. Is the membrane completely covered with zero solution and are air bubbles not trapped against the mem-
brane? Swirl and tap the sensor to release air bubbles.
C. Is the zero solution fresh and properly made? Zero the sensor in a solution of 5% sodium sulfite in water.
Prepare the solution immediately before use. It has a shelf life of only a few days.
D. If the sensor is being zeroed with nitrogen gas, verify that the nitrogen is oxygen-free and the flow is adequate
to prevent back-diffusion of air into the chamber.
E. The major contributor to the zero current is dissolved oxygen in the electrolyte solution inside the sensor. A
long zeroing period usually means that an air bubble is trapped in the electrolyte. To ensure the 499ADO or
499A TrDO sensor contains no air bubbles, carefully follow the procedure in the sensor manual for filling the
sensor. If the electrolyte solution has just been replaced, allow several hours for the zero current to stabilize.
On rare occasions, the sensor may require as long as overnight to zero.
F. Check the membrane for damage and replace the membrane if necessary
.
15.4.2 Zero reading Is unstable.
A. Is the sensor properly wired to the analyzer? See Section 3.0. Verify that all wiring connections are tight.
B. Readings are often erratic when a new or rebuilt sensor is first placed in service. Readings usually stabilize
after an hour.
C. Is the space between the membrane and cathode filled with electrolyte solution and is the flow path between
the electrolyte reservoir and the membrane clear? Often the flow of electrolyte can be started by simply hold-
ing the sensor with the membrane end pointing down and sharply shaking the sensor a few times as though
shaking down a clinical thermometer. If shaking does not work, perform the checks below. Refer to the sensor
instruction manuals for additional information.
For 499ADO and 499A TrDO sensors, verify that the holes at the base of the cathode stem are open (use a
straightened paperclip to clear the holes). Also verify that air bubbles are not blocking the holes. Fill the reservoir
and establish electrolyte flow to the cathode. Refer to the sensor instruction manual for the detailed procedure.
For Gx438 and Hx438 sensors, the best way to ensure that there is an adequate supply of electrolyte solution
is to simply add fresh electrolyte solution to the sensor. Refer to the sensor instruction manual for details.
15.4.3 Sensor can be calibrated, but current in air is too high or too low
A. Is the sensor properly wired to the analyzer? See Section 3.0. Verify that all connections are tight.
B. Is the membrane dry? The membrane must be dry during air calibration. A droplet of water on the membrane
during air calibration will lower the sensor current and cause an inaccurate calibration.
C. If the sensor current in air is very low and the sensor is new, either the electrolyte flow has stopped or the mem-
brane is torn or loose. For instructions on how to restart electrolyte flow see Section 15.4.2 or refer to the sen-
sor instruction manual. To replace a torn membrane, refer to the sensor instruction manual.
D. Is the temperature low? Sensor current is a strong function of temperature. The sensor current decreases
about 3% for every °C drop in temperature.
E. Is the membrane fouled or coated? A dirty membrane inhibits diffusion of oxygen through the membrane,
reducing the sensor current. Clean the membrane by rinsing it with a stream of water from a wash bottle or by
gently wiping the membrane with a soft tissue. If cleaning the membrane does not improve the sensor
response, replace the membrane and electrolyte solution. If necessary, polish the cathode. See the sensor
instruction sheet for more information.
15.4.4 Possible error warning during in-process calibration

This error warning appears if the current process reading and the reading it is being changed to, ie, the reading
from the standard instrument, are appreciably different.
A. Is the standard instrument properly zeroed and calibrated?
B. Are the standard and process sensor measuring the same sample? Place the sensors as close together as
possible.
C. Is the process sensor working properly? Check the response of the process sensor in air and in sodium sul-
fite solution.
84
TROUBLESHOOTING
15.4.5 Process readings are erratic.

A. Readings are often erratic when a new sensor or a rebuilt sensor is first placed in service. The current usually sta-
bilizes after a few hours.
B. Is the sample flow within the recommended range? High sample flow may cause erratic readings. Refer to the sen-
sor instruction manual for recommended flow rates.
C. Gas bubbles impinging on the membrane may cause erratic readings. Orienting the sensor at an angle away from
vertical may reduce the noise.
D. The holes between the membrane and electrolyte reservoir might be plugged (applies to Models 499A DO and 499A
TrDO sensors only). Refer to Section 15.4.2.
E. Verify that wiring is correct. Pay particular attention to shield and ground connections.
F. Is the membrane in good condition and is the sensor filled with electrolyte solution? Replace the fill solution and
electrolyte. Refer to the sensor instruction manual for details.
15.4.6 Readings drift.

A. Is the sample temperature changing? Membrane permeability is a function of temperature. For the 499ADO and
499ATrDO sensors, the time constant for response to a temperature change is about 5 minutes. Therefore, the read-
ing may drift for a while after a sudden temperature change. The time constant for the Gx438 and Hx448 sensors is
much shorter; these sensors respond fairly rapidly to temperature changes.
B. Is the membrane clean? For the sensor to work properly oxygen must diffuse freely through the membrane. A coat-
ing on the membrane will interfere with the passage of oxygen, resulting in slow response.
C. Is the sensor in direct sunlight? If the sensor is in direct sunlight during air calibration, readings will drift as the sen-
sor warms up. Because the temperature reading lags the true temperature of the membrane, calibrating the sensor
in direct sunlight may introduce an error.
D. Is the sample flow within the recommended range? Gradual loss of sample flow will cause downward drift.
E. Is the sensor new or has it been recently serviced? New or rebuilt sensors may require several hours to stabilize.
15.4.7 Sensor does not respond to changes in oxygen level.

A. If readings are being compared with a portable laboratory instrument, verify that the laboratory instrument is work-
ing.
B. Is the membrane clean? Clean the membrane and replace it if necessary. Check that the holes at the base of the
cathode stem are open. Use a straightened paper clip to clear blockages. Replace the electrolyte solution.
C. Replace the sensor.
15.4.8 Oxygen readings are too low.

A. Low readings can be caused by zeroing the sensor before the residual current has reached a stable minimum value.
Residual current is the current the sensor generates even when no oxygen is in the sample. Because the residual cur-
rent is subtracted from subsequent measured currents, zeroing before the current is a minimum can lead to low results.
Example: the true residual (zero) current for a 499ADO sensor is 0.05 μA, and the sensitivity based on calibra-
tion in water-saturated air is 2.35 μA/ppm. Assume the measured current is 2.00 μA. The true concentration is
(2.00 - 0.05)/2.35 or 0.83 ppm. If the sensor was zeroed prematurely when the current was 0.2 μA, the measured
concentration will be (2.00 - 0.2)/2.35 or 0.77 ppm. The error is 7.2%. Suppose the measured current is 5.00 μA.
The true concentration is 2.11 ppm, and the measured concentration is 2.05 ppm. The error is now 3.3%. The
absolute difference between the readings remains the same, 0.06 ppm.
B. Sensor response depends on flow. If the flow is too low, readings will be low and flow sensitive. Verify that the flow
past the sensor equals or exceeds the minimum value. See the sensor instruction manual for recommended flows.
If the sensor is in an aeration basin, move the sensor to an area where the flow or agitation is greater.

Verify that the sensor is filled with electrolyte solution. Refer to the sensor instruction manual for details.
86
TROUBLESHOOTING
15.5.3 Sensor can be calibrated, but the current is too low

A. Is the temperature low or is the pH high? Sensor current is a strong function of pH and temperature. The sen-
sor current decreases about 3% for every °C drop in temperature. Sensor current also decreases as pH
increases. Above pH 7, a 0.1 unit increase in pH lowers the current about 5%.
B. Sensor current depends on the rate of sample flow past the sensor tip. If the flow is too low, chlorine readings
will be low. Refer to the sensor instruction sheet for recommended sample flows.
C. Low current can be caused by lack of electrolyte flow to the cathode and membrane. See step D in Section
15.5.2.
D. Is the membrane fouled or coated? A dirty membrane inhibits diffusion of free chlorine through the membrane,
reducing the sensor current and increasing the response time. Clean the membrane by rinsing it with a stream
of water from a wash bottle. DO NOT use a membrane or tissue to wipe the membrane.
E. If cleaning the membrane does not improve the sensor response, replace the membrane and electrolyte solu-
tion. If necessary, polish the cathode. See the sensor instruction sheet for details.
15.5.4 Process readings are erratic

A. Readings are often erratic when a new sensor or a rebuilt sensor is first placed in service. The current usual-
ly stabilizes after a few hours.
B. Is the sample flow within the recommended range? High sample flow may cause erratic readings. Refer to the
sensor instruction sheet for recommended flow rates.
C. Are the holes between the membrane and the electrolyte reservoir open. Refer to Section 15.5.2.
D. Verify that wiring is correct. Pay particular attention to shield and ground connections.
E. If automatic pH correction is being used, check the pH reading. If the pH reading is noisy, the chlorine read-
ing will also be noisy. If the pH sensor is the cause of the noise, use manual pH correction until the problem
with the pH sensor can be corrected.
F. Is the membrane in good condition and is the sensor filled with electrolyte solution? Replace the fill solution
and electrolyte. Refer to the sensor instruction manual for details.
15.5.5 Readings drift

A. Is the sample temperature changing? Membrane permeability is a function of temperature. The time constant
for the 499ACL-01 sensor is about five minutes. Therefore, the reading may drift for a while after a sudden
temperature change.
B. Is the membrane clean? For the sensor to work properly, chlorine must diffuse freely through the membrane.
A coating on the membrane will interfere with the passage of chlorine, resulting in slow response. Clean the
membrane by rinsing it with a stream of water from a wash bottle. DO NOT use a membrane or tissue to wipe
the membrane.
C. Is the sample flow within the recommended range? Gradual loss of sample flow will cause a downward drift.
D. Is the sensor new or has it been recently serviced? New or rebuilt sensors may require several hours to sta-
bilize.
E. Is the pH of the process changing? If manual pH correction is being used, a gradual change in pH will cause
a gradual change in the chlorine reading. As pH increases, chlorine readings will decrease, even though the
free chlorine level (as determined by a grab sample test) remained constant. If the pH change is no more than
about 0.2, the change in the chlorine reading will be no more than about 10% of reading. If the pH changes
are more than 0.2, use automatic pH correction.

TROUBLESHOOTING
15.5.6 Sensor does not respond to changes in chlorine level.

A. Is the grab sample test accurate? Is the grab sample representative of the sample flowing to the sensor?
B. Is the pH compensation correct? If the controller is using manual pH correction, verify that the pH value in the
controller equals the actual pH to within ±0.1 pH. If the controller is using automatic pH correction, check the
calibration of the pH sensor.
C. Is the membrane clean? Clean the membrane and replace it if necessary. Check that the holes at the base of
the cathode stem are open. Use a straightened paper clip to clear blockages. Replace the electrolyte solution.
D. Replace the sensor.
15.5.7 Chlorine readings spike following sudden changes in pH (automatic pH correction).

Changes in pH alter the relative amounts of hypochlorous acid (HOCl) and hypochlorite ion (OCl-) in the sam-
ple. Because the sensor responds only to HOCl, an increase in pH causes the sensor current (and the appar-
ent chlorine level) to drop even though the actual free chlorine concentration remained constant. To correct for
the pH effect, the controller automatically applies a correction. Generally, the pH sensor responds faster than
the chlorine sensor. After a sudden pH change, the controller will temporarily over-compensate and gradually
return to the correct value. The time constant for return to normal is about 5 minutes.
15.5.8 Chlorine readings are too low.

A. Was the sample tested as soon as it was taken? Chlorine solutions are unstable. Test the sample immediate-
ly after collecting it. Avoid exposing the sample to sunlight.
B. Low readings can be caused by zeroing the sensor before the residual current has reached a stable minimum
value. Residual current is the current the sensor generates even when no chlorine is in the sample. Because
the residual current is subtracted from subsequent measured currents, zeroing before the current is a mini-
mum can lead to low results.
Example: The true residual current for a free chlorine sensor is 4 nA, and the sensitivity is 350 nA/ppm.
Assume the measured current is 200 nA. The true concentration is (200-4)/350 or 0.56 ppm. If the sensor was
zeroed prematurely when the current was 10 nA, the measured concentration will be (200-10)/350 or 0.54
ppm. The error is 3.6%. Suppose the measured current is 400 nA. The true concentration is 1.13 ppm, and
the measured concentration is 1.11 ppm. The error is now 1.8%. The absolute difference between the reading
remains the same, 0.02 ppm.
C. Sensor response depends on flow. If the flow is too low, readings will be low and flow sensitive. Verify that the
flow past the sensor equals or exceeds the minimum value. See the sensor instruction manual for recom-
mended flows.

89
TROUBLESHOOTING

A. Is the temperature low? The sensor current decreases about 5% for every °C drop in temperature.
B. Sensor current depends on the rate of sample flow past the sensor tip. If the flow is too low, monochloramine
readings will be low. Refer to the sensor instruction sheet for recommended sample flows.
C. Low current can be caused by lack of electrolyte flow to the cathode and membrane. See step C in Section
15.7.2.
D. When was the sensor fill solution last replaced? The monochloramine sensor loses sensitivity, that is, it gen-
erates less current per ppm of monochloramine, as it operates. Gradual loss of sensitivity can usually be com-
pensated for by calibrating the sensor weekly. After about two months, the sensitivity will have dropped to
about 70% of its original value. At this point, the electrolyte solution and membrane should be replaced. Refer
to the sensor instruction manual.
E. Is the membrane fouled or coated? A dirty membrane inhibits diffusion of monochloramine through the mem-
brane, reducing the sensor current and increasing the response time. Clean the membrane by rinsing it with
a stream of water from a wash bottle. DO NOT use a membrane or tissue to wipe the membrane.
F. If cleaning the membrane does not improve the sensor response, replace the membrane and electrolyte solu-
tion. See the sensor instruction sheet for details.

A. Readings are often erratic when a new sensor or rebuilt sensor is first placed in service. The current usually
stabilizes after a few hours.
C. Verify that wiring is correct. Pay particular attention to shield and ground connections.
D. Is the membrane in good condition and is the sensor filled with electrolyte solution? Replace the fill solution

for the sensor is about five minutes. Therefore, the reading may drift for a while after a sudden temperature

brane or tissue to wipe the membrane.
D. Is the sensor new or has it been recently serviced? New or rebuilt sensors may require several hours to sta-
bilize.
E. Gradual downward drift is caused by depletion of the fill solution. Normally, calibrating the sensor every week
adequately compensates for the drift. After the sensor has been in service for several months, it will probably
be necessary to replace the fill solution and membrane. Refer to the sensor instruction manual for details.
15.7.6 Sensor does not respond to changes in monochloramine level.

B. When was the sensor fill solution last replaced? The monochloramine sensor loses sensitivity, that is, it gen-
erates less current per ppm of monochloramine, as it operates. After about two months, the sensitivity will have
dropped to about 70% of its original value. If the fill solution is extremely old, the sensor may be completely
non-responsive to monochloramine. Replace the fill solution and membrane. See the sensor instruction man-
ual for details.

A. Was the sample tested as soon as it was taken? Monochloramine solutions are moderately unstable. Test the
sample immediately after collecting it. Avoid exposing the sample to sunlight.

C. Low readings can be caused by zeroing the sensor before the residual current has reached a stable minimum
value. Residual current is the current the sensor generates even when no monochloramine is in the sample.
Because the residual current is subtracted from subsequent measured currents, zeroing before the current is
a minimum can lead to low results.
Example: The true residual current for a monochloramine sensor is 20 nA, and the sensitivity is 400 nA/ppm.
Assume the measured current is 600 nA. The true concentration is (600-20)/400 or 1.45 ppm. If the sensor
was zeroed prematurely when the current was 40 nA, the measured concentration will be (600-40)/400 or 1.40
ppm. The error is 3.5%. Suppose the measured current is 800 nA. The true concentration is 1.95 ppm, and
the measured concentration is 1.90 ppm. The error is now 2.6%. The absolute difference between the read-
ing remains the same, 0.05 ppm.

If shaking does not work, try clearing the holes around the cathode stem. Hold the sensor with the membrane
end pointing up. Unscrew the membrane retainer and remove the membrane assembly. Be sure the wood ring
remains with the membrane assembly. Use the end of a straightened paper clip to clear the holes at the base

A. Sensor current is a strong function of temperature. The sensor current decreases about 3% for every °C drop

B. Sensor current depends on the rate of sample flow past the sensor tip. If the flow is too low, ozone readings

15.8.7 Ozone readings are too low.

A. Was the sample tested as soon as it was taken? Ozone solutions are highly unstable. Test the sample imme-

15.9.1 Warning or error message during two-point calibration.

Once the two-point (manual or automatic) calibration is complete, the transmitter automatically calculates the sen-
sor slope (at 25°C). If the slope is less than 45 mV/pH, the transmitter displays a "Slope error low" message. If the
slope is greater than 60 mV/pH, the transmitter displays a "Slope error high" message. The transmitter will not
update the calibration. Check the following:
A. Are the buffers accurate? Inspect the buffers for obvious signs of deterioration, such as turbidity or mold
growth. Neutral and slightly acidic buffers are highly susceptible to molds. Alkaline buffers (pH 9 and greater),
if they have been exposed to air for long periods, may also be inaccurate. Alkaline buffers absorb carbon diox-
ide from the atmosphere, which lowers the pH. If a high pH buffer was used in the failed calibration, repeat the
calibration using a fresh buffer. If fresh buffer is not available, use a lower pH buffer. For example, use pH 4
and pH 7 buffer instead of pH 7 and pH 10 buffer.
B. Was adequate time allowed for temperature equilibration? If the sensor was in a process liquid substantially
hotter or colder than the buffer, place it in a container of water at ambient temperature for at least 20 minutes
before starting the calibration.
C. Were correct pH values entered during manual calibration? Using auto calibration eliminates error caused by
improperly entered values.
D. Is the sensor properly wired to the analyzer? Check sensor wiring including any connections in a junction box.
See Section 3.3.
E. Is the sensor dirty or coated? See the sensor instruction sheet for cleaning instructions.

TROUBLESHOOTING
15.9.2 Warning or error message during two-point calibration.

During standardization, the millivolt signal from the pH cell is increased or decreased until it agrees with the pH
reading from a reference instrument. A unit change in pH requires an offset of about 59 mV. The controller limits
the offset to ±1400 mV. If the standardization causes an offset greater than ±1400 mV, the analyzer will display the
Calibration Error screen. The standardization will not be updated. Check the following:
A. Is the referee pH meter working and properly calibrated? Check the response of the referee sensor in buffers.
B. Is the process sensor working properly? Check the process sensor in buffers.
C. Is the sensor fully immersed in the process liquid? If the sensor is not completely submerged, it may be meas-
uring the pH of the liquid film covering the glass bulb and reference element. The pH of this film may be dif-
ferent from the pH of the bulk liquid.
D. Is the sensor fouled? The sensor measures the pH of the liquid adjacent to the glass bulb. If the sensor is
heavily fouled, the pH of liquid trapped against the bulb may be different from the bulk liquid.
E. Has the sensor been exposed to poisoning agents (sulfides or cyanides) or has it been exposed to extreme
temperature? Poisoning agents and high temperature can shift the reference voltage many hundred millivolts.
To check the reference voltage, see Section 15.15.
15.9.3 Controller will not accept manual slope.

If the sensor slope is known from other sources, it can be entered directly into the controller. The controller will not
accept a slope (at 25°) outside the range 45 to 60 mV/pH. If the user attempts to enter a slope less than 45 mV/pH,
the controller will automatically change the entry to 45. If the user attempts to enter a slope greater than 60 mV/pH,
the controller will change the entry to 60 mV/pH. See Section 15.9.1 for troubleshooting sensor slope problems.
15.9.4 Sensor does not respond to known pH changes.

A. Did the expected pH change really occur? If the process pH reading was not what was expected, check the
performance of the sensor in buffers. Also, use a second pH meter to verify the change.
B. Is the sensor properly wired to the analyzer?
C. Is the glass bulb cracked or broken? Check the glass electrode impedance. See Section 15.2.2.
D. Is the analyzer working properly. Check the analyzer by simulating the pH input.
15.9.5 Calibration was successful, but process pH is slightly different from expected value.
Differences between pH readings made with an on-line instrument and a laboratory or portable instrument are nor-
mal. The on-line instrument is subject to process variables, for example ground potentials, stray voltages, and ori-
entation effects that may not affect the laboratory or portable instrument. To make the process reading agree with
a reference instrument, see Section 14.4.
95
TROUBLESHOOTING
15.9.6 Calibration was successful, but process pH is grossly wrong and/or noisy.
Grossly wrong or noisy readings suggest a ground loop (measurement system connected to earth ground at more
than one point), a floating system (no earth ground), or noise being brought into the analyzer by the sensor cable.
The problem arises from the process or installation. It is not a fault of the analyzer. The problem should disappear
once the sensor is taken out of the system. Check the following:
A. Is a ground loop present?
1. Verify that the system works properly in buffers. Be sure there is no direct electrical connection between
the buffer containers and the process liquid or piping.
2. Strip back the ends of a heavy gauge wire. Connect one end of the wire to the process piping or place it
in the process liquid. Place the other end of the wire in the container of buffer with the sensor. The wire
makes an electrical connection between the process and sensor.
3. If offsets and noise appear after making the connection, a ground loop exists.
B. Is the process grounded?
1. The measurement system needs one path to ground: through the process liquid and piping. Plastic pip-
ing, fiberglass tanks, and ungrounded or poorly grounded vessels do not provide a path. A floating system
can pick up stray voltages from other electrical equipment.
2. Ground the piping or tank to a local earth ground.
3. If noise still persists, simple grounding is not the problem. Noise is probably being carried into the instru-
ment through the sensor wiring.
C. Simplify the sensor wiring.
1. First, verify that pH sensor wiring is correct. Note that it is not necessary to jumper the solution ground and
reference terminals.
2. Disconnect all sensor wires at the analyzer except pH/mV IN, REFERENCE IN, RTD IN and RTD
RETURN. See the wiring diagrams in Section 3.0. If the sensor is wired to the analyzer through a remote
junction box containing a preamplifier, disconnect the wires at the sensor side of the junction box.
3. Tape back the ends of the disconnected wires to keep them from making accidental connections with other
wires or terminals.
4. Connect a jumper wire between the RTD RETURN and RTD SENSE terminals (see wiring diagrams in
Section 3.0).
5. If noise and/or offsets disappear, the interference was coming into the analyzer through one of the sensor
wires. The system can be operated permanently with the simplified wiring.
D. Check for extra ground connections or induced noise.
1. If the sensor cable is run inside conduit, there may be a short between the cable and the conduit. Re-run
the cable outside the conduit. If symptoms disappear, there is a short between the cable and the conduit.
Likely a shield is exposed and touching the conduit. Repair the cable and reinstall it in the conduit.
2. To avoid induced noise in the sensor cable, run it as far away as possible from power cables, relays, and
electric motors. Keep sensor wiring out of crowded panels and cable trays.
3. If ground loops persist, consult the factory. A visit from a technician may be required to solve the problem.
15.9.7 Process pH readings are noisy.

A. Is the sensor dirty or fouled? Suspended solids in the sample can coat the reference junction and interfere with
the electrical connection between the sensor and the process liquid. The result is often a noisy reading.
B. Is the sensor properly wired to the analyzer? See Section 3.0.
C. Is a ground loop present? Refer to Section 15.9.6.

15.13 SIMULATING INPUTS - pH

15.13.1 General
This section describes how to simulate a pH input into the transmitter. To simulate a pH measurement, connect a
standard millivolt source to the transmitter. If the transmitter is working properly, it will accurately measure the input
voltage and convert it to pH. Although the general procedure is the same, the wiring details depend on whether the
preamplifier is in the sensor, a junction box, or the transmitter.
15.13.2 Simulating pH input when the preamplifier is in the analyzer.

1. Turn off automatic temperature correction (Section 7.5). Set the manual temperature to 25°C.
2. Disconnect the sensor and connect a jumper wire between the pH IN and the REFERENCE IN terminals.
3. From the Diagnostics menu scroll down until the "pH input" line is showing. The pH input is the raw voltage
signal in mV. The measured voltage should be 0 mV and the pH should be 7.00. Because calibration data
stored in the analyzer may be offsetting the input voltage, the displayed pH may not be exactly 7.00.
4. If a standard millivolt source is available, disconnect the jumper wire between the pH IN and the REFERENCE
IN terminals and connect the voltage source as shown if Figure 15-3.
5. Calibrate the controller using the procedure in Section
14.0. Use 0.0 mV for Buffer 1 (pH 7.00) and -177.4 mV for
Buffer 2 (pH 10.00). If the analyzer is working properly, it
should accept the calibration. The slope should be 59.16
mV/pH and the offset should be zero.
6. To check linearity, set the voltage source to the values
shown in the table and verify that the pH and millivolt read-
ings match the values in the table.

junction box in place. Disconnect the sensor at the sensor side of the junction box and connect the voltage source
to the sensor side of the junction box. See Figure 15-3.
15.13.4 Simulating pH input when the preamplifier is in the sensor.

set the resistor simulating the RTD to the values indicated
in the table and note the temperature readings. The meas-
ured temperature might not agree with the value in the
table. During sensor calibration an offset might have been
applied to make the measured temperature agree with a
standard thermometer. The offset is also applied to the
simulated resistance. The controller is measuring tempera-
ture correctly if the difference between measured tempera-
tures equals the difference between the values in the table
to within ±0.1°C.
For example, start with a simulated resistance of 103.9 Ω,
which corresponds to 10.0°C. Assume the offset from the
sensor calibration was -0.3 Ω. Because of the offset, the FIGURE 15-5. Simulating RTD Inputs.

TROUBLESHOOTING
15.15 MEASURING REFERENCE VOLTAGE

Some processes contain substances that poison or shift
the potential of the reference electrode. Sulfide is a good
example. Prolonged exposure to sulfide converts the ref-
erence electrode from a silver/silver chloride electrode to
a silver/silver sulfide electrode. The change in reference
voltage is several hundred millivolts. A good way to check
for poisoning is to compare the voltage of the reference
electrode with a silver/silver chloride electrode known to
be good. The reference electrode from a new sensor is
best. See Figure 15-6. If the reference electrode is good,
the voltage difference should be no more than about 20
mV. A poisoned reference electrode usually requires
replacement.
FIGURE 15-6. Checking for a Poisoned

Reference Electrode.
Refer to the sensor wiring diagram to identify the
reference leads. A laboratory silver/silver chloride
electrode can be used in place of the second sensor.
