1 Sensor 3 Sensor recharge kit
2 Protection caps
4.2.1 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.
English 7

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.
4.2.2 Protection caps
Non-ATEX sensors (GA2400)
Two protection caps will be delivered with each sensor, one without a grille (part number 33051-S0)
and one with a grille (part number 33051-SP).
A third protection cap (part number 33051-SG) is also available as an option and improves the
maintenance interval for beer or soft drinks process applications.
A fourth protection cap (part number 33051-ST) is delivered for the 6110 TPA application.
ATEX sensors (GA2800)
Only one protection cap will be delivered with each sensor (part number 33051-SG or 33051-H0).
4.2.3 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: There are two different versions of the recharge kit. One version for GA2X00/A110X sensors and one version
for C1100 sensors. Refer to the documentation supplied with the kit for instructions on how to use the version of the
recharge kit with the applicable sensor.
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
• two anode cleaning tools
• two sets of five cotton washers and five silicone discs (only for 2956A-XXX)
Note: The box for GA2X00 sensors has a blue label and the box for A110X sensors has a black label.
• one set of replacement O-rings and Dacron® mesh patches, applicable for GA2X00 and A110X
sensors
The blue 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. Refer to the documentattion supplied with the recharge kit for instructions on how
to use the anode cleaning tool for a GA2X00 sensor or for a A110X sensor.
The cotton washers provide additional protection against the formation of deposits and residue on
the center electrode and anode, which prolongs the time period required between sensor
maintenance.
The silicone discs are required for measurements in ultra-pure water or water containing ammonia.
The Dacron® mesh patches provide protection to the membrane when using a protection cap with a
grille.

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.
•Non-ATEX sensors (GA2400). The sensor has been delivered with two protection caps, one with
a grille and one without. Ensure you use the correct protection cap for your application. Refer to
Sensor configurations on page 3 for additional information.
•ATEX sensors (GA2800). The sensor has been delivered with a single protection cap.
The following instructions detail the steps required to make the sensor operational.
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.
English 9

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.
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. Remove the cotton washer and silicone disc 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. Take a silicone disc from the recharge kit, hold it between thumb and forefinger and position it on
top of the anode. Take a new cotton washer from the recharge kit. Hold it between thumb and
forefinger and position it on top of the silicone disc.
Note: During this step, it is very important to ensure your finger does not come into contact with the cathode
(golden surface) as it could leave greasy deposits on the surface.
6. 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
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.
Note: The recharge cartridge container will be colored black for all applications except for the 6110 TPA where
it will be colored white.
10 English

7. 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. Leave for a few seconds to ensure
the cotton washer has fully absorbed some of the electrolyte and that it is no longer dry.
8. Gently screw the sensor clockwise into the replacement cartridge, applying minimum pressure to
avoid any damage to the screw threads.
9. 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.
English 11

10. 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.
11. If not using a protection cap with grille proceed to step 12. Otherwise 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.
12. 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.
13. Finally, screw the protection cap locking washer back into place in a clockwise motion, and
tighten finger tight.
5.2 Sensor installation
5.2.1 Sensor positioning information
Unless the sensor is part of the ORBISPHERE equipment that includes it, the sensor must be
installed in an ORBISPHERE 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.
Note: If the model 28117 pressure sensor is used, the maximum cable length is 50 meters.
Ensure that the sensor will be mounted:
• perpendicular to the pipe
• horizontal
• 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:
12 English

• valves
• pipe bends
• the suction side of any pumps
• a CO2 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 representative to appraise the situation and define the best applicable solution.
5.2.2 Sensor insertion
Note: Check that the small O-ring at the bottom of the flow chamber is present during removal and installation of
the sensor, as it may stick to the sensor head and fall.
• Insert the sensor straight into the flow chamber or socket.
• Hand tighten the attaching collar.
• Connect the sensor cable.
• Check for leaks; replace O-rings if product leaks are visible.
Note: Do not twist the sensor when inserting it into a micro volume flow chamber. This rotation may twist the
membrane holding ring, thus changing the membrane position. This can modify the membrane measuring
conditions, and affect measurement precision.
5.2.3 Sensor removal
• Shut off the sample flow and drain the sampling circuit of liquid or gas.
• 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.
• Check that both O-rings remain in place inside the flow chambers.
• Install the sensor storage cap and sensor base (to protect the connection).
Section 6 Maintenance
WARNING
Multiple hazards. Only qualified personnel must conduct the tasks described in this section of the
document.
6.1 Maintenance schedule
The following table shows the recommended schedule for membrane replacement. The table should
only be used as a guideline, as maintenance intervals will vary depending on a number of different
parameters (e.g. water chemistry, CIP frequency, oxygen levels, sample temperature, etc.).

English 13

Part No. Description
2959 Electrolyte for oxygen sensors, 50-mL bottle.
29781 Cathode polishing powder (part no.29331) and cloth (part no. 2934).
32301 Electrochemical cleaning and regeneration center (see below)
40089 Tweezers, for maintenance kits
DG33303 Cleaning tool for sensor polishing for A110X and C1100 sensors only
DG33629 Cleaning tool for sensor polishing for GA2X00 sensors only
DG33619 Regeneration Cell for GA2X00/A1100 or C1100 sensors
DG33620 Orbisphere EC sensor support for cleaning
Note: If the sensor is being used in a high level hydrogen sample, this cleaning and regeneration center is not
required. In all other cases it is a prerequisite.
The ORBISPHERE 32301 is a very efficient cleaning and regeneration tool for electrochemical
sensors. Refer to Figure 2. 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.

6.3 Membrane replacement and sensor head cleaning
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.
A sensor recharge kit is required as it contains all the components necessary for this membrane
replacement and sensor head cleaning process. Refer to Sensor recharge kit on page 8.
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.
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. If you are using a protection cap with a grille,
then 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 old cartridge. Drain the old electrolyte into a sink and flush away. Discard the old
cartridge and membrane. Remove the cotton washer and silicone disc from the top of the anode
and discard.
14 English

4. Rinse the sensor head under a tap for 15 seconds to remove any remaining electrolyte and shake
dry. With a soft tissue gently clean around the guard area (indicated right) and then wipe off any
excess moisture from the sensor to ensure all parts are completely dry. Repeat this rinse and dry
process with the protection cap.
5. Clean the anode using the cleaning tool supplied. Place the tool over the sensor head. Clean by
rotating the cleaning tool over the sensor head for a few seconds, in a clockwise direction only.
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. 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.
English 15

8. On the clean polishing cloth (2934) do the steps that follow:
a. Add a few drops of water.
b. Spread a little of the polishing powder (29331) to form a grey, milky liquid.
9. Screw the polishing tool (DG33629) onto the top of the sensor.
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.
Note: If the sensor is used in high level hydrogen sample, do not perform the following steps but continue at
step 19.
12. Remove the plastic base from the bottom of the sensor and connect the sensor to the sensor
cleaning and regeneration center (32301).
16 English

13. Push the cleaning tool over the sensor head. Pour enough electrolyte (2959) into the cleaning
tool until it completely covers all the electrodes.
Note: For DG33619 regeneration cell, screw the regeneration cell on the sensor head.
14. On the sensor cleaning and regeneration center, turn the knob to the Anode position and press
the TIMER switch. A red warning light will come on and remain on for 60 seconds while cleaning
takes place.
15. At the end of the 60 second cleaning process, check for an abundant stream of bubbles that
should rise from the anode. If this does not happen, press TIMER again.
Note: The development of bubbles is a sure sign of a clean electrode.
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.
English 17

17. On the sensor cleaning and regeneration center, turn the knob to the Cathode position and press
the TIMER switch. Again, watch for the formation of bubbles and repeat the cleaning process if
necessary.
18. When cleaning is complete, unplug the sensor from the cleaning center and re-install the plastic
sensor base for the rest of the procedure. Remove any remaining electrolyte by rinsing the
sensor head under a tap for 60 seconds, aiming the jet of water directly onto the sensor head.
Note: For DG33619 regeneration cell, unscrew the regeneration cell from the sensor head.
19. With the help of a pair of tweezers, remove the old O-ring from the sensor body. Replace the O-
ring with a new one from the recharge kit.
20. Take a silicone disc from the recharge kit, hold it between thumb and forefinger and position it on
top of the anode. Take a new cotton washer from the recharge kit. Hold it between thumb and
forefinger and position it on top of the silicone disc.
Note: During this step, it is very important to ensure your finger does not come into contact with the cathode
(golden surface) as it could leave greasy deposits on the surface.
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. 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.
Note: The recharge cartridge container will be colored black for all applications except for the 6110 TPA where
it will be colored white.
18 English

22. Hold the container steady between thumb and forefinger of one hand. Lower the sensor into the

25. 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.
26. If not using a protection cap with grille proceed to step 27. Otherwise, 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.
27. 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.
28. Finally, screw the protection cap locking washer back into place in a clockwise motion, and
tighten finger tight.

sensor needs calibration.
Calibrate using a certified barometer. Do not
correct for sea level !
Wet membrane
interface.
Wipe dry with a tissue and re-calibrate.
"H2S insensitivity" option
enabled.
Disable from the menu on the measuring
instrument.
"0000" O2 levels displayed. Wrong reading scale

display unit.
Change reading scale by selecting "X.XXX, XX.XX
or XXX.X" on the instrument.
Shorter than expected sensor
operation in relatively high
dissolved O2 concentration.
High O2 concentrations
generate deposits more
quickly.
Install a less permeable membrane.
Turn off the analyzer when sensor is not in a low
O2 concentration.
