CAUTION Special Conditions for Safe Use 1. All pH/ORP sensors have a plastic enclosure which must only be cleaned with a damp cloth to avoid the danger due to a build up of an electrostatic charge. 2. All pH/ORP sensor models are intended to be in contact with the process fluid and may not meet the 500V r.m.s.

Reference Manual Installation 00809-0100-3098 February 2019 Thread the male connector body tightly into the ball valve assembly. DO NOT tighten the hex nut on the male connector body; doing so would not allow the sensor to be inserted through the ball valve. Pull back hard on the sensor assembly, as if trying to remove the sensor, to be certain that the sensor cannot come free of the ball valve assembly.

2.3.2 Installation Without Ball Valve Rosemount 398R and 398RVP Sensors may be installed through a weldalet or pipe tee or “Y” when used with a process connector (PN 23166-00 or 23166-01). The sensor should be installed within 80° of vertical, with the electrode facing down.

Reference Manual Calibration 00809-0100-3098 February 2019 Section 5: Calibration General Information New sensors must be calibrated before use. Regular recalibration is also necessary and is determined by the user. The use of a two-point buffer calibration is always recommended. Refer to the transmitter Reference Manual for more specific calibration procedures. Use of Calibration Buffers (Standards) Good buffers lead to good calibrations: A pH measurement is only as good as the calibration, and the calibration is only as good as the buffers used.
Calibration Reference Manual February 2019 00809-0100-3098 Two Point Buffer Calibration Remove the protective vinyl cap from the sensor tip. Rinse the sensor and immerse it in the first buffer. Ensure that the glass bulb and the temperature element are completely submerged by keeping the sensor tip about 3 inches below the liquid level.
Reference Manual Calibration 00809-0100-3098 February 2019 ORP Standardization There are relatively few ORP calibration standards available. The most popular one is a solution containing 0.1 M iron (II) and 0.1 M iron (III) in 1 M sulfuric acid. The standard is available from Rosemount as PN R508- 16OZ.

Generally, the greater the tendency of the process liquid to coat or foul the sensor, the more frequently maintenance should be done. Rosemount 398R and 398RVP sensors are fouling resistant and, they usually require maintenance less often than other pH (or ORP) sensors.
Reference Manual February 2019 00809-0100-3098 Rosemount 398R-25 and 398RVP-25 (36” tube) Be certain that pressure at the sensor is below 35 psig before proceeding with the retraction. It is also recommended that the personnel wear a face shield and have a stable footing.

Figure 6-2: Tip of Rosemount 398R pH Sensor The figure shows the tip of the Rosemount 398R pH sensor. The bottom of the liquid junction is about even with the top of the wings that form the slotted tip. Keep acidic and alkaline solvents away from the liquid junction.
Maintenance Reference Manual February 2019 00809-0100-3098 Cleaning Procedures - ORP Sensors Clean platinum ORP electrodes by using a tissue to rub the metal surface with a paste of baking soda (sodium bicarbonate). A clean platinum electrode is bright and shiny. Checking the Reference Electrode Some processes contain substances, for example, sulfides, that poison the reference electrode.
138.5 Temperature Element Rosemount 398R/398RVP pH sensors produce a voltage which the instrument converts to pH using a temperature-dependent factor. A Pt 100 or a Balco 3K RTD built into the sensor measures temperature. To permit cor-rection for changes in lead resistance with temperature, a three-wire configuration (Figure 6-4) is used.
Maintenance Reference Manual February 2019 00809-0100-3098 Consult Table 6.1 (above) for temperature-resistance data. Lead resistance is about 0.05 ohm/ft at 25°C. Therefore, 15 ft of cable increases the resistance by about 1.5 ohm. The resistance between the RTD return and RTD sense leads should be less than 2 ohms. If a connection is open or shorted and should not be, replace the sensor.
Page 43
Reference Manual Maintenance 00809-0100-3098 February 2019 Make sure that the male connector body (E) is sufficiently tightened. The sensor will “click” into place by pulling the sensor tube away from the junction box, but will not move from side to side or pull clear of the male connector. If the sensor tube is correctly attached to the junction box, wrench tighten hex nut (F) on male connector body (E).
