4.Discard used
(A). Coat new
CAUTION
Make sure lubricant does not contact any part of the sensor tip particularly the glass bulb.
5.Cover the 1" MNPT pipe threads of the male con- nector body (A) with Teflon tape (not provided) to protect them from galling during reinstallation.
6.Pass the wires from the new sensor through the process end male connector (A). Make sure that the beveled edge of the ferrule faces the process end of the sensor. Snug the hex nut (B) to keep it in place. Do not tighten down fully on the hex nut at this time.
7.Pass the wires from the new sensor through the hex nut (D), the split ferrule (from the old sensor), male connector body (C),
8.Connect the sensor wires to the terminals on the printed circuit board in the junction box in the manner recommended on the junction box cover,and reattach the BNC connector to the preamp. Screw on the cover of the junction box aside. Discard sensor tube.
9.Insert the sensor in the process fitting. Stop it against the closed ball valve. Slide the process- end male connector down the sensor tube to mate with the process fitting. Tighten the male connec- tor into the process fitting.
10.Pull back hard on the sensor assembly, as if trying to remove the sensor, to be certain that the sensor cannot come free from the valve assembly and male connector. The
11.Open ball valve and position the sensor at the desired insertion depth and orientation. Using a crescent or open end wrench, tighten the hex nut
(B) to secure the sensor in place. See Figure
NOTE
A stainless steel ferrule is available if the Teflon ferrule does not adequately grip, be careful and avoid over tightening. This can damage the sensor tube.
CAUTION
If the male connector leaks during insertion or retrac- tion, replace the
If the sensor is to be stored, the rubber boot should be filled with 7pH buffer solution and replaced on sensor tip until ready to use.
