DESCRIPTION AND SPECIFICATIONS
1.1 FEATURES AND APPLICATIONS
The ion-selective field effect transistor (ISFET) pH electrode provides a stable pH measurement. Its rate of
response can be ten times faster than glass electrodes,
enabling better process control. Its short response time and
increased stability at low temperatures make it suitable for
use in cold processes like brine or water for cooling. Aging
effects caused by temperature fluctuations or large
changes of process pH are greatly reduced, providing
longer intervals between calibration and maintenance of the
sensor.
Because there is no glass bulb, it can be used in many
applications that restrict or prohibit pH glass electrodes due
to the risk of broken glass getting into the process. It may
also provide longer sensor life in processes that will break
or crack pH glass bulbs. By allowing direct installation into
the process, costs for laboratory analysis of sample lines
are greatly reduced.
The TUpH Reference technology includes a large area
reference junction for minimum maintenance requirements.
The reference junction provides an electrical connection
between the reference electrode and the sample, and helps
maintain a stable reference potential, regardless of the
change in sample pH. The TUpH reference electrode
junction (the entire plastic tip surrounding the ISFET
electrode) maintains a steady reference signal, even in dirty
applications, by resisting plugging (a common cause of pH
signal drift). This large reference junction area (400 times
greater than typical teflon or ceramic junctions) is made of
micron-sized reference pathways allowing for ionic
exchange but preventing plugging by larger particles and will
continue to send a steady pH signal, even in the dirtiest of
applications. The field-proven TUpH reference junction technology results in greatly reduced maintenance requirements.
The TUpH helical reference pathway resists reference poisoning. Ions diffuse through the reference pathways and a
charge is passed to the reference element. The reference
element must be protected from contamination by poisoning
ions such as sulfide, mercury, cyanide, and ammonia that will
cause reference drift and offsets. The TUpH sensor's long
internal reference pathway hinders the contaminants' migration to the reference element thereby providing an increased
sensor life.
All TUpH sensor models have been specifically designed for
improved performance in harsh, dirty, or abrasive applications where large quantities of suspended solids are present.
The Model TF396 offers a watertight sensor-to-cable connector
that prevents cable twisting and eliminates the need for
rewiring when replacing the sensor. The sensor cable
includes an integral preamplifier cap with mating connector
and is compatible with most Rosemount Analytical analyzers
and transmitters.

INSTALLATION
2.1 UNPACKING AND INSPECTION.
Inspect the outside of the carton for any damage. If damage is detected, contact the carrier immediately. Inspect
the hardware. Make sure all the items in the packing list
are present and in good condition. Notify the factory if any
part is missing. If the sensor appears to be in satisfactory
condition, proceed to Section 2.2, Mounting.
NOTE
Save the original packing cartons and materials
as most carriers require proof of damage due to
mishandling, etc. Also, if it is necessary to
return the sensor to the factory, you must pack
the sensor in the same manner as it was
received. Refer to Section 6.0 for return instructions. If the sensor is to be stored, the vinyl boot
should be filled with pH buffer solution and
replaced on sensor tip until ready to use.
In most cases, the pH sensor can simply be installed
as shipped and readings with an accuracy of ± 0.6 pH
may be obtained. To obtain greater accuracy or to verify proper operation, the sensor must be calibrated as
a loop with its compatible analyzer or transmitter.
2.2.1 Flow Through and Insertion Mounting.
The Model TF396 Sensor has a 1-inch MNPT process
connection at the front of the sensor for mounting into
a 1-1/2 inch tee or the process pipes. See Figure 2-1
through Figure 2-7 for installation configurations.
NOTE
LARGE PIPE WRENCHES MUST NOT BE
USED TO TIGHTEN THE SENSOR INTO A
FLANGE OR OTHER TYPE OF MOUNTING.
2.2.2 Submersion Mounting.
CAUTION
Buffer solution, in the vinyl boot, may cause
skin or eye irritation.
WARNING
Electrode tip must be wetted at all times (in
storage and in line) to maximize sensor life.
CAUTION
Cable connection at back of sensor body is fragile.
Do not overtighten.
2.2 MOUNTING.
The sensor has been designed to be located in industrial process environments. Temperature and pressure
limitations must not be exceeded at any time. A caution
label regarding this matter is attached to the sensor.
Please do not remove the label. See Figure 2-1.
The Model TF396 Sensor also has a 1 inch MNPT
process connection at the back of the sensor. Utilizing
a standard 1 inch union, the sensor may be mounted to
a 1 inch SCH 80 CPVC or PVDF standpipe (see Figure
2-5). Tapered pipe threads in plastic tend to loosen after
installation. It is therefore recommended that Teflon1
tape be used on the threads and that the tightness of
the connection be checked frequently to assure that no
loosening has occurred. To prevent rain water or condensation from running into the sensor, a weatherproof
junction box is recommended (see Figure 2-5). The
sensor cable must be run through a protective conduit
for isolation from electrical interference or physical
abuse from the process. The sensor should be installed
within 80° of vertical, with the electrode facing down.
The sensor’s cable should not be run with power or
control wiring.

WIRING - MODEL TF396
SECTION 3.0
WIRING — MODEL TF396
Figures in this section provide the guidelines for wiring the TF396 sensor to various analyzers/transmitters.
To determine which wiring guideline to use, locate the model number of the analyzer/transmitter to be installed.
1. If the cable needs to be extended (maximum distance from sensor to analyzer is 250 ft), use a high quality
eleven conductor double shielded instrument cable available from Rosemount Analytical.
NOTE
If the cable is too long, loop up the excess cable. If the cable has to be shortened, cut and terminate each
conductor neatly and make sure that the overall (outermost) drain wire is not shorted out with either
of the two inner drain wires (shields).
2.
Signal cable should be run in a dedicated conduit (preferably an earth grounded metallic conduit) and should
be kept away from AC power lines. For your convenience, a wire nut kit is furnished (in a plastic bag wrapped
around the cable).
NOTE
For maximum EMI/RFI protection when wiring from the sensor to the junction box, the outer braid of the
sensor should be connected to the outer braided shield of the extension cable. The outer braid of the
extension cable to the instrument must be terminated at earth ground or by using an appropriate metal
cable gland fitting that provides a secure connection to the instrument cable.
Wiring. The Model TF396 has a mating cable with
built-in preamplifier and is offered with a shielded
cable. The cable should be handled carefully and kept
dry and free of corrosive chemicals at all times.
Extreme care should be used to prevent it from being
twisted, damaged or scraped by rough, sharp edges or
surfaces. Please refer to Figures 3-1 through 3-3 for
wiring Model TF396.

START UP AND CALIBRATION
4.1 SENSOR PREPARATION.
Recommended pH Sensor Standardization:
In most cases, the pH sensor can simply be installed as shipped
and readings with an accuracy of ± 0.6 pH may be obtained. To
obtain greater accuracy or to verify proper operation, the sensor
must be calibrated as a loop with its compatible analyzer or
transmitter.
For maximum accuracy, the sensor can be standardized
online or with a process grab sample after a buffer calibration has been performed and the sensor has been conditioned to the process. Standardization accounts for the
sensor junction potential and other interferences.
Standardization will not change the sensor’s slope but will
simply adjust the analyzer’s reading to match that of the
known process pH.
4.2 pH CALIBRATION.
After a temporary connection is established between the
sensor and the instrument, a buffer calibration may be performed. Consult appropriate pH analyzer or transmitter
instruction manual for specific calibration and standardization procedures, or see below for recommended two-point
buffer calibration procedure.
Recommended two-point buffer calibration procedure:
Select two stable buffer solutions, preferably pH 4.0 and
10.0 (pH buffers other than pH 4.0 and pH 10.0 can be
used as long as the pH values are at least two pH units
apart).
NOTE
A pH 7.0 buffer solution reads a mV value of approximately zero, and pH buffers read approximately 59.1
mV for each pH unit above or below pH 7.0. Check
the pH buffer manufacturer specifications for millivolt
values at various temperatures since it may affect the
actual value of the buffer solution mV/pH value.
1. Immerse sensor in the first buffer solution. Allow sensor to adjust to the buffer temperature (to avoid errors
due to temperature differences between the buffer
solution and sensor temperature) and wait for reading
to stabilize. Value of buffer can now be acknowledged
by analyzer/transmitter.
2. Once the first buffer has been acknowledged by the
analyzer/transmitter, rinse the buffer solution off of the
sensor with distilled or deionized water.
1. While obtaining a process solution sample (it is recommended that the sample is taken close to the sensor),
record the pH value that is shown on the
analyzer/transmitter display.
2. Measure and record the pH of the process solution
sample with another temperature compensated, calibrated pH instrument. For best results, standardization
should be performed at the process temperature.
3. Adjust the analyzer/transmitter value to the standardized value.
4.3 INSTRUMENT CONFIGURATION FOR
USE WITH MODEL TF396
INSTRUMENT CONFIGURATION REQUIREMENTS: For
proper operation, instruments capable of advanced sensor
diagnostics must have this feature turned off (please refer
to the appropriate instrument's instruction manual for complete instructions) .
MODEL 54epH/ORP: From the Program menu, select
Configure, then Diagnostics. Edit diagnostics and select
off.
SOLU COMP II MODEL 1055: From the Program menu,
select Measurement, then Sensor1 or Sensor2 as appropriate, then pH. At the screen prompt Glass Fault
Enable?, select No.
MODELS 81, 3081, 4081 OR 5081: From the Program
menu, select dIAG and toggle to OFF.
3. Repeat steps 1 and 2 using the second buffer solution.
4. Once the analyzer/transmitter has acknowledged both
buffer solutions, a sensor slope (mV/pH) is established
(the slope value can be found within the analyzer/
transmitter).

MODEL TF396
SECTION 5.0
MAINTENANCE
SECTION 5.0
MAINTENANCE
The Model TF396 Sensors require minimum maintenance. The sensor should be kept clean and free of
debris and sediment at all times. The frequency of
cleaning by wiping or brushing with a soft cloth or
brush is determined by the nature of the solution being
measured. The sensor should be removed from the
process periodically and checked in buffer solutions.
CAUTION
The solution used during the following check is an
acid and should be handled with care. Follow the
directions of the acid manufacturer. Wear the proper
protective equipment. Do not let the solution come in
contact with skin or clothing. If contact with skin is
made, immediately rinse with clean water.
WARNING
BEFORE REMOVING THE SENSOR,
be absolutely certain that the
process pressure is reduced to 0
psig and the process temperature is
lowered to a safe level!
If the sensor will not calibrate, refer to your analyzer/
transmitter instruction manual for proper test procedures. If it is determined that the sensor has failed, it
should be discarded and replaced.
4.
Wash the sensor tip in a dilute 5% hydrochloric
acid solution and rinse with clean water. Soaking
the sensor overnight in the acid solution can
improve cleaning action.
NOTE
Erroneous pH results may result immediately after acid soak, due to reference
junction potential build-up.
Replace the sensor if cleaning does not
restore sensor operation.

Refer to Table 5-1 for Ro and R1 values.
5.2 ELECTRODE CLEANING
If the electrode is coated or dirty, clean as follows:
1.
Remove the sensor from process.
2.
Wipe the ISFET silicon surface with a soft, clean,
lint free cloth or tissue. If this does not remove the
dirt or coating, go to Step 3. (Detergents clean oil
and grease; acids remove scale.)
3.
Wash the sensor tip in a mild detergent solution
and rinse it in clean water. If this does not clean
the ISFET, go to Step 4.
