Followthe procedurebelow to prepare the sensorforoperation:
1.Unscrewtheelectrolyte chamberfromthe assembledsensorand alsoremovethe fill screwand o-
ring fromthe side ofthe sensing element.
2.Removethe front nutfrom the bottomofthe chamberand discardthe protectivemembrane. O-rings
arecontained ingrooveson both the bottomand topofthe chamber.Besurethattheseo-rings
remain in place.
3.Fromthe package ofmembranessupplied with the sensor,placeanewmembrane into thefront nut.
Themembraneisthewhitediskand is separatedfrom othermembranes byabluepaper
spacer.
4.Screwthe front nut onto thechamberuntilyoufeeltheo-ring compress.Hand tight compression is
all that isneeded. Do not usetoolsto tighten. The membrane shouldbe flat across the bottomof the
chamberwithout wrinkles.
5.Fill the chamberwithelectrolyte untilthelevelisabout½"abovethe bottomofthe internalthreadsin
the chamber.

6.Slowlyscrewthe chamberonto the sensing element body.Asmall amount ofelectrolytewillrun out
ofthe holefromwhichthe fillscrewwasremoved. Placeapapertowelaround thesensorto absorb
the electrolyteoverflow.Tighten the chamberuntil the o-ringat the top ofthe chamberis
compressed. Once again, do not usetoolsto tighten.
7.Shake excess electrolyte fromthe vent hole on the side ofthesensorand replacethe fill screwando-
ring.
The sensing moduleisnowreadyforoperation. Themembrane shouldbestretched tightly
across the tipofthe sensor.Whenhandling theassembledsensor,do not setthesensoron itstip
ordamageto themembranewill result.Severeimpactson thetipof thesensorfrom dropping or
othermisuse may cause permanent damage to thesensor.

OPERATION
Aftermechanicaland electricalinstallation iscomplete,the systemisreadyforoperation. Prior
to start-up,recheckthe loopwiringandsensorconnectionstobesureeverythingiscorrect.Reversing
the loopwiring will not damage the transmitter, but otherdevicesin the loop maybe adverselyaffected.
AssoonasDCloop powerisapplied, the transmitterwillbegintooperate, transmitting a4-20
mAsignalproportionaltogasconcentration. When firstenergized,thesensorwill spiketo ahighvalue
and then slowlybeginto recovertowardzero. Thisisnormaland the systemmustbe allowed to stabilize
forat leastafewhours beforemaking anyadjustments.The sensormustbe connected tothe transmitter
and the transmittermust be powered forthe sensorto stabilize.
TRANSMITTERTESTPOINTS
In orderto readthe transmitteroutput locally,adigitalvolt(DVM)meterisrecommended for
transmitters without displays.The transmittercircuitboardcontainstestpointsmarked TP1(see Figure
6)that allowanoperatorto read the4-20 mAoutput without breaking the loop wiring. The testpointsare
across aprecision 10 ohmresistorthat ispartofthe current output circuit. Therefore, anychangesat the
testpoint areadirectindicationofchangesinthe output signal.The testpoint voltagewill be 40-200
mv. proportionalto 4-20 mA. Thistest point isused forzeroand calibration functions.

DIGITALDISPLAY OPTION
SeriesB12 transmitters suppliedwiththeoptionalLCDhavethedisplaymounted tothe
enclosurecoverwithaclearlensprotecting thedisplayfromdirtand moisture. The displayisconnected
to the coverwithashortribbon cablesoldered tothetransmittercircuitboard.The digitaldisplayis
factoryscaledto thetransmitterrange specifiedonthe order.The LCD option isnot availableon
explosion-prooftransmitters.
The LCD indicatesgasconcentration directlyinPPMor%depending on therange. It isdirectly
inthe4-20mAoutput circuitsothat itisaveryaccurate indicatorofthe signalbeing transmitted to
remote equipment. The displayshouldbe usedforzeroing and calibration instead ofthe testpoints
describedinthecalibration section ofthismanual.
When removingthecoverofatransmitterwith the LCD, becarefulnot topullon the display

CALIBRATION
Transmittercalibration requiresadjustment ofboth zeroand span. Zeroisadjusted when the
sensorisexposedtoaircontaining nooxidantgases.Spanisadjustedwhenagasstreamcontaininga
known concentrationofoxidant gasispassed through the lowvolume flowcell.
ZEROADJUSTMENT
Aspreviouslymentioned, adjusting thetransmitterzerorequiresthat the sensorbe exposed to
oxidant gasfree air.The simplestapproachistosimplyexposethesensortoambient airthat isfree of
gasesto whichthesensorwillrespond. Threading thelowvolumeflowcell onto the sensorwill isolate the
sensorfromsurrounding airforzeroing purposes.
Ifthe areainwhichthe sensorisoperatingisknownto begasfree, thenthetransmittercan be
zeroedwithout furtherequipment. Ifnot, useof“zeroair” fromagascylinderisrecommended. Zeroair
isavailableaspartofallATIcalibration kits,ormaybeobtained fromanyspecialtygassupplier.When
zeroairisto beused, alowvolumeflowcell(partno.00-0422)mustbe used. The lowvolumeflowcell
providesaconfinedspacearoundthesensorintowhichthezeroaircanflow. The flowcellsprovide tube
fittingsat the bottomto connect airtubing asshown inFigure2.
Tozerothetransmitter,removethe coverandconnectaDVMtothe testpointsshowninFigure
6. Observethe DVMvalueto be surethat itisnolongerdeclining, andthat itisstable±4mv.Usethe
zeropotentiometer(Figure6)to adjustthe testpoint voltage to0.040 VDC (40mv.).Ifthe transmitteris
supplied with the LCD option, noDVM isrequired.
SPANADJUSTMENT
Oncethezerohasbeenset, slidethelowvolumeflowcellonto thesensor(ifitisnotalready
there fromzeroing). Attacha source ofgaswith aknow chlorinegasconcentration andadjust the sample
flowrateto 500 cc/min. Atypicalchlorine gassourceisthe electrochemicalchlorinegenerator
manufactured byAdvanced Calibration Designsin Tucson, AZ.Allowsample to flowfor10 minutes.
ObservetheDVMvalue. The reading shouldbe relativelystable±4mv.Adjustthe span
potentiometer(Figure6)untilthe propertestpoint voltageisobtained. The propervoltage to set when
adjustingtransmitterspanwillvarydepending on therangeofthetransmitter.The following formulais
used tocalculatetheproperspan voltage foranytransmitter.
V = 0.040 V + [0.160X (Measured Concentration ÷Transmitter Range)]
Asanexample,supposeyou arecalibrating atransmitterwitharangeof0-10 PPM,andthe
chlorine gasstandard used forcalibrationhasavalue of5 PPM. The above formulawould thenbecome:
V = 0.040 V + [0.160X (5 ÷10)] = 0.120V.
Therefore, adjusting the transmitterto areading of120 mv.at the testpoint wouldproperly
calibrate the transmitter.
NOTE: The responseofawet gassensoris1:1forchlorine,bromine, oriodine.Thechlorine dioxide
responseisapproximately0.7:1, meaningthat thegasstandardvalueinthe aboveequationmust
be multiplied by1.4 to arrive at the correct calibration value.

SENSORRESPONSETEST
Whilezeroandspan adjustmentsare required onlyperiodically,gassensors shouldbe checked
regularlyforproperresponse. The responsetestcan be doneusing powdered calciumhypochlorite
(HTH)available fromanyswimming poolsupply.
The sensorresponsetestwillcreate aconditionwherealarmrelayswillbeactivated unless
theyareinhibited.To observe the responseatthetransmitterwithoutdisplay,it isnecessaryto connecta
