Figure 1 Product components
1 Sensor 3 Sensor recharge kit
2 Protection caps
4.2.1 Electrochemical sensor
The sensor may be delivered separately or as part of an ORBISPHERE system, depending on the
individual order.
The sensor will be delivered fitted with a plastic screw-on storage cap to protect the sensor head.
This is held in place with a plastic collar.
English 7
A plastic screw-on base is also provided to protect the connection socket, and which also provides a
suitable stand for the sensor during maintenance procedures, and when not in use.
4.2.2 Protection caps
Non-ATEX sensors (GA2400)
Two protection caps will be delivered with each sensor, one without a grille (part number 33051-S0)
and one with a grille (part number 33051-SP).
A third protection cap (part number 33051-SG) is also available as an option and improves the
maintenance interval for beer or soft drinks process applications.
A fourth protection cap (part number 33051-ST) is delivered for the 6110 TPA application.
ATEX sensors (GA2800)
Only one protection cap will be delivered with each sensor (part number 33051-SG or 33051-H0).
4.2.3 Sensor recharge kit
A recharge kit should have been ordered with the sensor as this will be required to initially make the
sensor operational. It is also required for sensor cleaning and membrane replacement procedures.
Note: There are two different versions of the recharge kit. One version for GA2X00/A110X sensors and one version
for C1100 sensors. Refer to the documentation supplied with the kit for instructions on how to use the version of the
recharge kit with the applicable sensor.
The kit contains:
• four recharge cartridges with pre-mounted membrane and electrolyte. The type of membrane
mounted in the cartridge will be specific to the kit ordered
• two anode cleaning tools
• two sets of five cotton washers and five silicone discs (only for 2956A-XXX)
Note: The box for GA2X00 sensors has a blue label and the box for A110X sensors has a black label.
• one set of replacement O-rings and Dacron® mesh patches, applicable for GA2X00 and A110X
sensors
The blue anode cleaning tool is used to clean the anode of any deposits or residue that may have
formed. It is doubled-ended so it can be used for two membrane replacement processes, each end
being used once. Refer to the documentattion supplied with the recharge kit for instructions on how
to use the anode cleaning tool for a GA2X00 sensor or for a A110X sensor.
The cotton washers provide additional protection against the formation of deposits and residue on
the center electrode and anode, which prolongs the time period required between sensor
maintenance.
The silicone discs are required for measurements in ultra-pure water or water containing ammonia.
The Dacron® mesh patches provide protection to the membrane when using a protection cap with a
grille.
Section 5 Installation
CAUTION
Multiple hazards. Only qualified personnel must conduct the tasks described in this section of the
document.
5.1 Sensor preparation
CAUTION
Chemical exposure hazard. Obey laboratory safety procedures and wear all of the personal
protective equipment appropriate to the chemicals that are handled. Refer to the current safety data
sheets (MSDS/SDS) for safety protocols.
8 English
Your sensor has been thoroughly cleaned and tested at the factory before shipment. It has been
shipped with a cartridge containing a membrane and electrolyte pre-installed to protect the sensor
head. This cartridge must be removed and replaced with a new one prior to first use to make it fully
operational. The new cartridge is included in the sensor recharge kit.
•Non-ATEX sensors (GA2400). The sensor has been delivered with two protection caps, one with
a grille and one without. Ensure you use the correct protection cap for your application. Refer to
Sensor configurations on page 3 for additional information.
•ATEX sensors (GA2800). The sensor has been delivered with a single protection cap.
The following instructions detail the steps required to make the sensor operational.
Note: It is advisable to perform this procedure with the plastic sensor base installed so as to avoid any damage to
the connection socket and also to provide a suitable stand for the sensor when required.
English 9
1. Hold the main body of the sensor and unscrew the protection cap locking washer by turning
counter-clockwise. Remove it from the sensor and put to one side.
2. Pull/twist off the protection cap and put to one side.
3. Hold the sensor with the membrane facing down to avoid spilling any electrolyte, then carefully
unscrew the shipment cartridge. Drain the old electrolyte into a sink and flush away. Discard the
shipment cartridge and membrane. Remove the cotton washer and silicone disc from the top of
the anode and discard.
4. Rinse the sensor head under a tap for 15 seconds, aiming the jet of water directly onto the sensor
head. Do not dry the center electrode area, as the gap between cathode and guard should be left
filled with water.
5. Take a silicone disc from the recharge kit, hold it between thumb and forefinger and position it on
top of the anode. Take a new cotton washer from the recharge kit. Hold it between thumb and
forefinger and position it on top of the silicone disc.
Note: During this step, it is very important to ensure your finger does not come into contact with the cathode
(golden surface) as it could leave greasy deposits on the surface.
6. Place the recharge cartridge container on a flat work surface and, keeping the container upright
to avoid spilling any of the electrolyte inside, carefully unscrew the top. Remove the packing
component from the center of the cartridge, making sure that the O-ring on top of the cartridge
remains in place. If it comes away then replace it before continuing. If there are any visible
bubbles in the electrolyte, remove them using a stirring motion with the packing component.
Note: The recharge cartridge container will be colored black for all applications except for the 6110 TPA where
it will be colored white.
