MODEL 54e pH/ORP
PREAMPLIFIER TROUBLESHOOTING PROCEDURE
Use this procedure when diagnosing the circuit which carries the signal from the sensor. There are 3 sepa- rate procedures, depending on where the preamplifi- er is located.
A. Preamp in a junction box (Figure 8-2)
1.Verify that the controller's preamp switch is in the sensor/J box position (see Figure
2.Remove the cover of the junction box.
3.Disconnect the BNC adapter or remove leads from
4.Install a jumper between 7 and 10, 3 and 4, and 7 and 8 (see Figure
5.The controller should now read approximately 7 pH.
NOTE
If the controller has been calibrated with a large zero offset, the pH may not be close to 7. In this case, standardize the con- troller at 7. (Section 3.4).
6.If the controller does not read correctly (after standardizing, if necessary), go to step B.
SECTION 8.0
TROUBLESHOOTING
B. Controller preamp check (Figure 8-3)
1.Disconnect all sensor wiring from the controller at TB2.
2.Verify that the preamp location switch is in the analyzer position, and that temperature compen- sation is set to manual at 25°C or 77°F (see Section 3.5).
3.Jumper
4.Jumper
5.The controller should now read 7 pH (or 0 mV in ORP mode).
NOTE
If the controller has been calibrated with a large zero offset, the pH may not be close to 7. In this case, standardize the con- troller at 7. (Section 3.4).
6.If the controller does not read correctly (after standardizing, if necessary), replace the con- troller.
7.If a millivolt source is available, it can be con- nected to
