Hardware Mounting

A. MOUNTING:

1. First determine mounting location for the Sensorex pH Monitor probe. A mounted example is pictured below.

2. Locate a suitable location to mount the Sensorex pH Monitor box near an AC outlet.

3. Four different mounting brackets are supplied allowing for a wide range of mounting options. Please see mounting directions in the Sensorex Installation and Operating Manual.

4. Typically, the Sensorex pH Monitor box should be mounted at eye level (5ft to 6ft) for easy reading.

pH Electrode - Calibration Periodically, the pH Electrode must be calibrated. This can be done during the electrode cleaning cycle. Follow the instructions below to calibration the pH probe.

REFER TO SENSOREX MANUAL PAGE 21 IF NEEDED A. CALIBRATING pH ELECTRODE (7.00pH and 4.01pH): 1) Press and hold <E> to enter

setup

2) Press <E> to start calibration process

3) The main display will show

the actual pH reading. The small display will show the expected buffer (7.00 or 6.86) for the first point.

Use the <UP> and <DOWN> arrows to select 7.00. Place the electrode into the 7.00 buffer solution.

Press and hold <E> to start 1st Calibration

4) When the reading is stable, Press <E> to save first point

5) Now, the small display will show the 2nd expected buffer (4.01, 9.18, or 10.00).

Use the <UP> and <DOWN> arrows to select 4.01. Place the electrode into the 4.01 buffer solution.

Press and hold <E> to start 2nd Calibration

6) When the reading is stable, Press <E> to save second point

7) Press <E> to save second point and complete calibration. “CON” will flash confirming calibration.

pH Electrode – Clean Electrode Notification A reminder to clean, and if need be, calibrate your pH electrode can be set up for 1 – 250 days. Default setting is 90 days. Follow the instructions below to change the number of days between cleanings.

REFER TO SENSOREX MANUAL PAGE 25 IF NEEDED A. SETTING CLEANING REMINDER: 1) Press and hold <E> to enter

setup

2) Press <UP> arrow 2 times. “C.P.” will display on the main display and “Clean” and electrode icon will flash

3) Press <E> and “OFF” will flash

4) Use the <UP> and <DOWN> arrows to turn ON “Clean Probe”

5) Press <E> to accept. Day number will flash. The default value is 90.

6) Use the <UP> and <DOWN> arrows to change number of days.

7) Press <E> to save number of days and return to normal operation.

Transmitter Setup Once the pH Electrode has been mounted and configured, the reset button on the Analog Transmitter must be pressed to initiate sending the newly configured pH values.

900Mhz Digital Analog Transmitter

1. Remove the Transmitter cover. 2. Verify that the Transmitter is wired (D) for 4-20mA input. 3. Verify that the Transmitter Jumper (C) is configured for 4-20mA input. 4. Insert the battery(s) into the Battery Slot (A). 5. Press the Reset Button (B) to initialize the Transmitter. 6. Install the Transmitter cover.

Software Configuration – pH Sensor In order for the transmitters that have been installed to work they must be registered in the software. There is a Transmitter ID Label on the exterior of the transmitter box, another label on the transmitter’s lid and an extra label to be placed at the monitoring point.

1. Log into EnviroTrak. 2. To register a pH Electrode, click the Configuration > EnviroTrak > Device

Registration > Sensor Registration.

3. The sensor registration information is located inside the lid or on the supplied stickers.

4. Enter the Sensor ID (A), Security ID (B), select DIGITAL RF/Analog Input (C)** as the transmitter type, and then select Sensorex TX100-pH Monitor (D)** as the #1 input.

**Note: (C) Make sure you select the correct transmitter type: DIGITAL RF/Analog Input and Sensorex TX100-Ph Monitor (D).

**Note: (D) You may need to create a new formula for transmitter type Sensorex TX100-Ph Monitor if it does not appear in the drop-down. Please contact I-Care for assistance.

5. Select the sensor group you wish to assign the transmitter to from the Assign To Group (Optional**) (E) drop-down list.

**Note: If no group is selected, the sensor will only display for users using the Default: All Sensors view.

6. Click Add (F). You will be asked if you wish to name the transmitter. Follow the

directions and rename the transmitter, or close the Set Sensors window.

You should see the following confirmation at the bottom of the Transmitter Registration Page.
