SENSOR/PROCESS
APPLICATION COMPATIBILITY
The wetted sensor materials may not be compatible
with process composition and operating conditions.
Application compatibility is entirely the responsibility of the user.
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!

INSTALLATION
If the sensor is installed in a sidestream
with the sample draining to open atmosphere, bubbles may accumulate on the
electrodes. Trapped bubbles will cause
errors. Normally, as bubbles accumulate the conductivity reading drifts down.
To control bubble formation, apply a small
amount of back pressure to the sensor.

WIRING THROUGH A JUNCTION BOX
If wiring connections are made through a remote junction box (PN 23550-00), wire point-to-point. Use cable 23747-00
(factory-terminated) or 9200275 (no terminations).

WIRING
CLEANING THE SENSOR
The 404-17 (stainless steel body) sensor can be taken apart for cleaning. However, in some cases, disassembling and
reassembling the sensor can cause the cell constant to change as much as 1%. For maximum accuracy, the cell constant should be rechecked after the sensor has been reassembled. The 400-16 (PVC body) sensor cannot be taken
apart.
Use a warm detergent solution and a soft brush or pipe cleaner to remove oil and scale. Isopropyl alcohol (rubbing alcohol) can also be used to remove oily films. Avoid using strong mineral acids to clean conductivity sensors.
CALIBRATION
ENDURANCE conductivity sensors are calibrated at the factory and do not need calibration when first placed in service.
Simply enter the cell constant printed on the label into the analyzer.
After a period of service, the sensor may require calibration. Because Model 404 sensors have a flow-through design,
they are best calibrated against a referee meter and sensor where the two sensors are connected in series with the
same liquid flowing through both.
For more information about calibrating contacting conductivity sensors, refer to application sheet ADS 43-024, available
on the Rosemount Analytical website.

TROUBLESHOOTING
PROBLEM
PROBABLE CAUSE
SOLUTION
Off-scale reading
Wiring is wrong.
Verify wiring.
Temperature element is open or shorted.
Check temperature element for open or
short circuits. See Figure 9.
Sensor is not in process stream.
Be sure sensor is completely submerged in
process stream.
Variopol cable is not properly seated.
Loosen connector and reseat.
Sensor has failed.
Perform isolation checks. See Figure 10.
Sensor is improperly installed in process
stream.
Be sure sensor is completely submerged
in process stream.
Variopol cable is not properly seated.
Loosen connector and reseat.
Bubbles trapped in sensor.
Be sure sensor is properly oriented in
pipe or flow cell. See Figure 1.
Apply back pressure to flow cell.
Wrong temperature correction algorithm.
Check that temperature correction is
appropriate for the sample. See analyzer
manual for more information.
Wrong cell constant.
Verify that the correct cell constant has
been entered in the analyzer and that the
cell constant is appropriate for the conductivity
of the sample. See analyzer manual.
Electrodes are fouled.
Clean electrodes.
Sensor is sampling a dead area.
Move sample line to a location more
representative of the process liquid.
Noisy reading
Reading seems wrong (lower
or higher than expected)
Sluggish response
FIGURE 9. Checking Temperature Element
Disconnect leads and measure resistance shown. The measured resistance should be close to the value in the table.
FIGURE 10. Checking Continuity and Leakage
Disconnect electrode leads and measure resistance and
continuity as shown. Sensor must be dry when checking
resistance between electrode leads.
