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 the process pressure is
reduced to 0 psig and the process temperature is at a safe level!

INSTALLATION
INSTALLATION
Keep 1/4 inch (6 mm) clearance between electrodes
and piping. The electrodes must be completely submerged in the process liquid, i.e., to the level of the
threaded connection. See Figure 1 for recommended
orientation.
°
If the sensor is installed in a side stream with the
sample draining to open atmosphere, bubbles may
accumulate on the electrodes. Trapped bubbles will
cause errors. As bubbles accumulate, the conductivity reading drops. To control bubble formation,
apply a small amount of back pressure to the drain.

Install the sensor in either a 1-inch NPT weldalet or in a 1-inch pipe tee.
Remove the plastic shipping cap from the sensor.
Screw the 1-inch hex nipple into the weldalet or pipe tee. See Figure 2. Use pipe tape on the threads.
Position the sensor for easy access to the ball valve handle, sensor compression fitting nut, and junction box.
Make sure the ball valve is in the fully open position.
Finger tighten the sensor compression fitting nut. Do not over tighten because the next step is to press the
sensor into the process pipe.
Insert the sensor tube until the sensor tip is no closer than 1 inch (25 mm) from the far wall of the process
pipe. See Figure 2.
Tighten the sensor compression fitting nut to hold the sensor tip in position. See Figure 2 for instructions.
*If the ball valve assembly is already in place and the process line is pressurized, refer to Inserting the 140

WIRING
RETRACTING AND INSERTING THE MODEL 140 SENSOR
CAUTION
Model 140
sensors are retractable. BEFORE
RETRACTING THE SENSOR, be absolutely certain
the process pressure is less than 100 psig (791 kPa
abs) and the process temperature is at a safe level!
RETRACTING THE SENSOR
1.
2.
3.
Push in on the sensor junction box and slowly loosen the sensor compression fitting nut by reversing the
sensor tightening procedure illustrated in Figure 2.
When the sensor compression nut is completely unscrewed, slowly ease the sensor out until the flared tip
of the electrode rests firmly within the body of the compression fitting body.
Close the ball valve completely.
CAUTION
Before removing the sensor be sure the ball valve is
completely closed.
4.
Unscrew the compression fitting body from the reducing bushing and remove the sensor from the ball valve
assembly.
INSERTING THE SENSOR
CAUTION
Make sure process O-ring is clean, lubricated, and in
place before installing sensor. Replace if worn.
1.
DO NOT open the ball valve.
WARNING
The system pressure must be less than 100
psig (791 kPa).
2.
Thread the sensor compression fitting body into the reducing bushing in the rear of the ball valve and tighten.
NOTE: Do not push past this point. Damage to the sensor could result.
WARNING
If the sensor comes free of the valve, refer to
Figures 2 and 13 and verify that the valve and
associated fittings are as shown. Do not proceed
until the sensor is correctly restrained.

3.
WIRING
Slowly open the valve.
WARNING
Stand clear of the sensor.
4.
Insert the sensor up to the desired insertion depth and turn the sensor compression fitting nut until it is finger tight.
5.
Position the entire sensor for easy access to the ball valve handle, sensor compression fitting nut and J-box
terminal block.
6.
Tighten sensor compression fitting nut.
CAUTION
For initial installation of the sensor, tighten the compression fitting nut 1-1/4 turns after finger tight. If it is
a reinstallation, turn no more than 1/4 to 1/2 additional turns!
REMOVING AND REINSTALLING THE MODEL 142 SENSOR
REMOVING THE SENSOR
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!
1.
2.
Reduce process temperature and pressure to a safe level. If necessary drain the process line.
Loosen the sensor compression fitting and slowly slide the sensor from the pipe fitting or weldalet.
REINSTALLING THE SENSOR
1.
Slide the sensor into the process fitting and position the sensor the way it was originally installed.
CAUTION
Be sure the sensor is in the original position. The
sensor tube takes a permanent set and could
become weakened if the new set is adjacent to the
original set.
2.
Tighten the sensor compression fitting 1/4 to 1/2 turn after it is finger tight.

MODEL 140,141, and 142 sensors
CALIBRATION
CALIBRATION
Model 140 sensors are not calibrated at the factory. The cell constant on the label is a nominal value only. The true
cell constant can differ from the nominal value by as much as ±5%. For improved accuracy, calibrate the sensor
using either a solution of known conductivity or a referee meter and sensor. If using a standard solution, choose
one having conductivity in the recommended operating range for the sensor cell constant. Refer to the analyzer
manual or product data sheet and use the range recommended for Model 400 series sensors. For the 0.2/cm cell
constant Model 140 sensor, use the range for the 0.1/cm Model 400 sensor and multiply the upper and lower limits
by two.
Do not use standard solutions having conductivity less than about 100 uS/cm for calibration. They are susceptible
to contamination by atmospheric carbon dioxide, which can alter the conductivity by a variable amount as great as
1.2 uS/cm (at 25°C). Because 0.01/cm sensors must be calibrated in low conductivity solutions, they are best calibrated against a referee meter and sensor in a closed system.
For more information about calibrating contacting conductivity sensors, refer to application sheet ADS 43-024,
available on the Rosemount Analytical website.

MAINTENANCE
MAINTENANCE
CLEANING THE SENSOR
Use a warm detergent solution and a soft brush or pipe cleaner to remove oil and scale. Isopropyl alcohol can also be
used to remove oily films. Avoid using strong mineral acids to clean conductivity sensors.
CHECKING MODEL 140 RETRACTION RESTRAINT
The integrity of the Model 140 will become compromised is the flared tip of the electrode is allowed to blow out against
the compression fitting body. In the even a blowout occurs, replace the sensor.
REPLACING MODEL 140 SENSOR SEAL.
If the process seal is leaking owing to a pitted or uneven sensor tube, a replacement sensor is required. If the sensor
tube surface is smooth and clean yet the process seal is leaking, the process O-ring is damaged and requires replacement according to the following procedure (see Figure 2). Replacement parts can be obtained from the Process Fitting
Rebuild Kit (PN 23731-00).
1. The junction box with attached compression fitting body, nut and compression fitting must be recovered from the sensor for
reuse. Unscrew the junction box cover and set aside. Mark and disconnect the electrical connections from the terminal
block. Remove the junction box compression fitting nut from the compression fitting body and separate the junction box
from the sensor tube.
2. Remove the nylon ferrule and snap ring (discard both). Remove and save the junction box compression fitting nut.
3. Slide off the sensor compression fitting nut and set aside for reuse. Slide off the remaining PEEK ferrule and split
ring (discard both).
4. Remove the sensor compression fitting body and replace the Viton O-ring. Lubricate the O-ring with the barium
based lubricant provided.
5. Wrap the threads of the sensor compression fitting body with pipe tape and slide the body on to the sensor tube.
6. Slide on a new PEEK ferrule, beveled side facing the electrode tip, and a new PEEK split ring, flared end towards
electrode tip. Slide on the sensor compression fitting nut and thread it onto the compression fitting body. Finger
tighten.
7. Reinstall the J-box on the sensor tube. Finger tighten the J-box compression fitting nut. Use a wrench to turn the
nut a 1/4 to 1/2 additional turn.
