Section 3 What you have received
3.1 C1100 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 for the C1100-S00 sensor, or a stainless steel collar for the
C1100-T00 sensor.
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.
3.2 Protection caps
One protection cap with grille will be delivered as standard with each sensor.
3.3 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: The recharge kit for ozone has a green sticker on the front of the box.
Sensor recharge kit
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
• anode cleaning tools
• a set of replacement O-rings
• a set of replacement Dacron® mesh patches
The black 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.
The Dacron® mesh patches provide protection to the membrane.
Section 4 Installation
4.1 Sensor preparation
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. You will also need one of the
mesh patches included with the kit.
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.

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. 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. Discard the
shipment cartridge and membrane. If present, remove the cotton washer 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. 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
6 English

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.
6. Hold the container steady between thumb and forefinger of one hand. Lower the sensor into the
container until the top of the anode is covered with electrolyte.
7. Gently screw the sensor clockwise into the replacement cartridge, applying minimum pressure to
avoid any damage to the screw threads.
8. Continue turning until the cartridge is attached to the sensor, and the sensor is automatically
released from the container. 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.

9. Rinse the sensor under a tap for about 5 seconds to remove any excess electrolyte, then gently
wipe with a soft tissue to ensure all parts are completely dry. Drain the overflow electrolyte from
the container into a sink and flush away. Discard the used container.
10. Take a new Dacron® mesh patch from the box of O-rings in the recharge kit. Place the mesh in
the center of the protection cap. It is very important that the mesh is in the center of the protection
cap and covering the entire grille. Lower the sensor onto the protection cap making sure not to
disturb the mesh.
11. 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.
12. Finally, screw the protection cap locking washer back into place in a clockwise motion, and
tighten finger tight.
4.2 Sensor installation
4.2.1 Sensor positioning
The sensor must be installed in a socket or flow chamber that allows contact with the sample fluid to
be analyzed. The sensor and measuring instrument are connected by a cable and two 10-pin
connectors. The standard sensor cable length is 3 meters though extension cables of up to
1000 meters are available. However, smart sensor technology is only available with distances of up
to a maximum of 750 meters. Ensure that the sensor will be mounted:
• perpendicular to the pipe
• on a horizontal pipe section (or on flow-ascending vertical pipe)
• minimum of 15 meters away from the pump's discharge side
• in a place where the sample flow is stable and rapid, and as far as possible from:
• valves
• pipe bends
English 7

• the suction side of any pumps
• a CO 2 injection system or similar
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.
4.2.2 Sensor insertion
• Insert the sensor straight into the flow chamber or socket. Do not twist the sensor.
• Hand tighten the attaching collar.
• Connect the sensor cable.
• Check for leaks; replace O-rings if product leaks are visible.
4.2.3 Sensor removal
• If not using the ORBISPHERE 32003 insertion/extraction valve 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.
• Hold the sensor body in one hand to avoid rotation, and unscrew the collar with the other hand.
• Pull the sensor straight out of the socket or flow chamber.
• Install the sensor storage cap and sensor base (to protect the connection).
Section 5 Maintenance
It is recommended to perform standard maintenance on the sensor about once every six months,
though this will vary depending on the application. This involves sensor membrane replacement and
head cleaning as described in Membrane replacement and sensor head cleaning on page 8.
Using the ORBISPHERE 32301 cleaning and regeneration center in addition to the standard
maintenance will allow for a noticeably extended sensor life.
5.1 Membrane replacement and sensor head cleaning
A sensor recharge kit (see Sensor recharge kit on page 5) is required as it contains all the
components necessary for this membrane replacement and sensor head cleaning process (i.e. a
cartridge containing the electrolyte and pre-installed membrane, a sensor cleaning tool, replacement
O-rings and Dacron® mesh patches).
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.
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.

N O T I C E
At this stage it is highly recommended to use the ORBISPHERE 323021 electrochemical cleaning and
regeneration center for improved sensor performance and a noticeably extended sensor life. Detailed
information on how to use the cleaning and regeneration center is included in the 32301 Operator Manual.
The ORBISPHERE 32301 is a very efficient cleaning and regeneration tool for electrochemical sensors. This
tool reverses the electrochemical process that is taking place in the sensor cell during normal operation. This
removes oxidation and at the same time regenerates the surface of the electrodes. In addition, the
regeneration center offers a continuity tester for checking the sensor electronics.
