Section 3 Introduction 3.1 What you have received 3.1.1 C1100 electrochemical sensor The sensor may be delivered separately or as part of an ORBISPHERE system, depending on the individual order. Figure 2 C1100-S00 sensor with storage cap The sensor (as illustrated in Figure 2 above) will be delivered fitted with a plastic screw-on storage cap to protect the sensor head.
Introduction 3.1.3 Sensor recharge kit A recharge kit (as illustrated in Figure 4 below) 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: The recharge kit for ozone has a green sticker on the front of the box.
Introduction 3.2 Sensor components The following illustration shows the assembled sensor with the storage cap and sensor collar removed and the exploded view of the main sensor components. To remove the storage cap, you will first have to unscrew and remove the sensor base. Figure 6 Sensor components 1 - Protection cap locking washer 4 - Cartridge containing electrolyte and membrane...
The following instructions detail the steps required to make the sensor operational. Should you have any questions, your Hach Lange representative will be pleased to help. 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.

Installation 2. Pull/twist off the protection cap and put to ® one side. Remove the Dacron mesh from inside the cap and discard it. 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.
Page 15
Installation 7. 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. 8. Remove the packing component from the center of the cartridge, making sure that the O-ring on top of the cartridge remains in place.
Page 16
Installation 13. Continue turning until the cartridge is attached to the sensor, and the sensor is automatically released from the container. 14. The empty container, the screw top and packing component can be discarded. Note: It is normal that some of the electrolyte will overflow from the replacement cartridge and into the plastic container.

Installation 21. Push the protection cap firmly into place, making sure one of the four slots in the protection cap fits over the small locking pin (highlighted right). If it is necessary to turn the protection cap to fit over the locking pin, ensure you only turn it clockwise to avoid unscrewing the cartridge.
Note: There may be situations where not all the above conditions can be met. If this is the case, or you have any concerns, please consult your Hach Lange representative to appraise the situation and define the best applicable solution.
Installation 4.2.3 Sensor removal • If not using the ORBISPHERE 32003 insertion/extraction valve (see details on page 18) you will need to shut off the sample flow and drain the sampling circuit of liquid. • Remove the sensor cable connected at the sensor end. •...
Installation 4.3.2 The 32003 insertion/extraction valve The ORBISPHERE 32003 insertion/extraction valve (illustrated below) allows for sensor removal and installation without having to drain the fluid in the line. It can withstand a pressure of up to 20 bars, with the sensor in place or not. Sensor insertion is made by inserting the sensor into the housing and tightening the retaining collar until it stops.
Installation 4.3.5 ORBISPHERE flow chambers The ORBISPHERE 32001.xxx flow chambers are used to draw liquid samples past the sensor. They are available in several materials, depending on the application. They connect to 6-mm or ¼" stainless steel tubing by means of two Swagelok™ fittings. If necessary, copper or plastic tubing with low permeability can be substituted.
Section 5 Maintenance and Troubleshooting 5.1 Maintenance C A U T I O N Multiple hazards. Only qualified personnel must conduct the tasks described in this section of the document. 5.1.1 Electrochemical cleaning and regeneration center The ORBISPHERE 32301 is a very efficient cleaning and regeneration tool for electrochemical sensors.

Maintenance and Troubleshooting A sensor recharge kit is required as it contains all the components necessary for this membrane replacement and sensor head cleaning process. Refer to 3.1.3 Sensor recharge kit on page 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.

Maintenance and Troubleshooting 6. Remove the tool and tap it face down on a flat work surface to remove any powdery deposit. Check the sensor to ensure that all deposits have been removed from the anode. If not, repeat step 5. until the anode regains its bright silver appearance. 7.
Page 26
Maintenance and Troubleshooting 10. Polish the electrodes by moving the sensor face in a circular direction against the liquid in the polishing cloth for about 30 seconds. 11. Remove the polishing tool from the sensor. Remove any polish deposits by rinsing the sensor head under a tap for 30 seconds, aiming the jet of water directly onto the sensor head.

Maintenance and Troubleshooting 16. On the sensor cleaning and regeneration center, turn the knob to the Guard position and press the TIMER switch. Again, watch for the formation of bubbles and repeat the cleaning process if necessary. 17. On the sensor cleaning and regeneration center, turn the knob to the Cathode position and press the TIMER switch.

Maintenance and Troubleshooting 21. 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, and make sure that the O-ring remains in place on top of the cartridge.
