2 Install the sensor
The sensor will be integrated into a 1-in. barb fitting, sealed by several zip tie connectors.
Note
Complete Step 1 through Step 3 before filling the single-use bioreactor with solution.
Procedure
1. Orient the sensor within 10 and 45 ° of horizontal.
See Figure 2-1.
Figure 2-1: Sensor Orientation
2. Wire the sensor to the transmitter and wait for the reading to stabilize.
See Wire the sensor for instructions on wiring the sensor to Rosemount™
transmitters.
3. Use the Calibration menu on the transmitter to go to Slope/offset setting.
Recommendation: Do not fill the bag with buffer or other solution until after 3.b to
confirm sensor functionality.
a) Input the factory calibrated slope on the sensor label into the "Slope at 25 C"
field and press ENTER. Press EXIT to go back to the Calibration menu.
Do not touch the value in the "Offset" field. The offset will change and be
shown after 3.b.
Note
To find the sensor slope and cal pH, scan the two-dimensional barcode on
the sensor label.
See Figure 2-2.

b) In the Calibration menu, go to the "Standardize (grab)" option. Press ENTER
at the installation prompt since the reading should already be stabilized.
Input the Cal pH on the sensor label into the "pH of grab sample" field to
complete the initial sensor standardization.
Note
Use pH sensor prior to expiration date.
See Figure 2-2.
4. Clip the zip tie, locking the clip in place. Remove the circular warning tag if it is still
present.
See Figure 2-3.
Figure 2-3: Clipped Zip Tie
5. Press the slide lock into the unlocked position.
The small lip of the lock should be the side that is pressed in. See Figure 2-4.
