SMARTPro 8966 Introduction
Section 1.0

1.3 Operating Principle

The SMARTPro 8966 is a two wire transmitter with nominal


working voltage of 24VDC. In two wire configuration the
transmitter draws power from the loop itself.

The transmitter draws current of 4-20mA from supply. This


current is proportional to the measured variable.

The mV signal from the pH electrode is given to the high input


impedance preamplifier. This amplifier is internal to the
transmitter when the sensor is very close to the transmitter.

For sensor cable lengths in excess of 10Meters external buffer


amplifier is used.

A special A/D Converter digitizes the analog voltage, suppresses


the noise on the signal and gives accurate pH and temperature
inputs to microcontroller. The Microcontroller further processes
the data, displays the results on LCD display and generates
retransmission current output with HART ©.

The Microcontroller accepts the inputs from keyboard during


programming and calibration. The application specific
parameters such as measuring range, temperature
compensation are user programmable through keyboard.

2.4 Cabling

Supply cable wires should be clearly marked/color coded


for +24V and ground to avoid polarity reversal
If conduit is used, Ensure the conduit end is properly
terminated in cable gland on transmitter side.

The cable used for 24V supply to transmitter should be


routed through cable gland

The Supply cable should be routed away from the Power


cabling.

Use proper size of lug suitable for 0.5 to 1 sq mm wire


8 with length of 6-8 mm for terminations on transmitter
side.
2.5 Power Supply requirements

The SMARTPro 8966 works on wide range of supply


voltage from 12VDC to 36VDC.

The supply voltage at the transmitter input terminals


must be at least 12VDC.

The power supply should be capable of taking the loads


(minimum 250 Ohms for HART ©) and the cable
resistance.

For HART © communication the minimum load resistance


of 250 Ohms is a must. To supply 12VDC at Transmitter
end the power supply voltage must be at least 17.5VDC

The power supply should be capable of supplying the


surge current at start up.

CALB

This menu is used to calibrate the temperature sensor.

SmartPro uses 2 wire RTD PT100/PT1000 as temperature sensor.


This sensor gives temperature in terms of resistance. (See Annex 2).
As the sensor cable length increases, the resistance of the cable adds up in
the RTD resistance.

If the resistance of the sensor cable is say 1.0 Ohms the the reading shown on
the transmitter is 2 to 3 °C more than the actual temperature. For small cable
lengths this can be neglected and no need for calibration.

To calibrate the sensor, dip the temp sensor and standard thermometer water
at ambient temperature. Ensure that the temperature sensor and the
standard thermometer are completely submerged. Allow the system to
stabilize for about 20 minutes. Follow the procedure as indicated in above
flow chart.

Also see section 7.2

Check that the standard thermometer, RTD, thermistor that


is used for reference is calibrated and accurate.

FORBES MARSHALL PVT LTD Page 59


SMARTPro 8966 Operation
Section 4.0

pH cell Calibration

The pH sensor is made up of thin glass membrane. This glass membrane is


sensitive to pH changes. The pH cell when dipped in a solution, generates
mili volts proportional to the pH of the solution.

The mili volts generated depends on the sensitivity of the glass membrane.
The sensitivity of the glass membrane drops as the membrane ages out. This
needs to be corrected with regular calibration of the cell/electrode. This is
done with the help of standard pH buffers.

Two point calibration as indicated in following flow chart is recommended


always.

The transmitter can also be standardized. In standardization we force the


transmitter reading to match with the reading from second pH instrument.
This can be done with the help of “single point calibration” as detailed out
below

During the process of calibration we find out sensor slope and offset. The
transmitter notes down these values and uses this during further
calculations.

SMARTPro 8966 Maintenance
Section 6.0

6.1 Probe care and Maintenance

pH electrodes require maintenance at regular intervals. This interval is


decided by the user depending on the process fluid in which the
electrode is used. Typically in the range of one to three months.

It is necessary to check for tips on electrode care in


Instruction manual provided with the electrode.

6.2 How to store the electrode for long time

Always keep the pH bulb wet. Use electrode storage solution


Recommended by electrode manufacturer.

Use rubber cap or electrode storage bottle filled with


electrode storage solution.

You can use pH 4 buffer solution with 1/100 th part of


saturated KCL solution.

Don’t use distilled water for storage.

6.3 Storage after use in process


Use de ionized water to rinse the pH electrode an reference
junction

Store the electrode after rinsing as per 6.2

Before putting back to service ,clean the electrode with de


ionized water and dab dry with clean tissue paper

Never Rub or Wipe the electrode. This could give rise to


electrostatic charges which will increase the response time of
the electrode.

FORBES MARSHALL PVT LTD Page 68


SMARTPro 8966 Maintenance
Section 6.0

6.4 How to clean the electrode

The pH electrode is a electro-chemical sensor. When the pH electrode


is used, the junction and glass membrane contaminates because of
process fluid. This in turn increases the sensor response time.

Salt deposits

Immerse the electrode in tap water for 10/15 minutes. The salt
dissolves in water. Rinse the electrode with distilled water.

Oil/Grease film

Use mild detergent and water to gently wash the electrode bulb.
Rinse the electrode tip with distilled water.

Protein deposits

Dip the electrode in a solution prepared as 1% pepsin solution in 0.1M


of HCL for 10 minutes. Rinse the electrode with distilled water.

Clogged reference junction

Heat diluted KCL solution to 60 to 80 deg C. Place the sensing part of


the electrode into the heated solution for about 10 minutes. Allow the
electrode to cool in unheated KCL solution

6.5 How to Rehydrate the bulb

If the electrode is stored and cleaned as per the procedures indicated


above, it is ready for use always. But if because of some reasons the
bulb is dehydrated , follow the procedure to rehydrate the bulb

Immerse the electrode in pH 4 buffer solution for 10 to


30minutes. Rinse the electrode with distilled water. Check the
response of the electrode.

If this procedure fails and electrode doesn’t give any


response then consult the sensor manufacturer.

FORBES MARSHALL PVT LTD Page 70


SMARTPro 8966 Maintenance
Section 6.0

6.6 Do’s and Don’ts for pH (Glass) electrodes

Read the operating manual provided with the electrode


carefully.

Before actually putting the electrode in to work, Remove the


special transportation seal (If any) provided on the diaphragm
of this electrode using a sharp knife very carefully without
damaging the diaphragm.

Clean the pH electrode under low pressure tap water or any


suggested cleaning solution. Do not touch the diaphragm or tip
of the electrode during cleaning.

Tap dry the tip of the electrode using a clean and soft tissue
paper

Do not rub the tissue paper on the electrode as it may


generate static charges

Calibrate the transmitter with pH electrode as a pair. Use this


Calibrated pair to measure pH values. If you change/replace
transmitter and/or electrode it is necessary to recalibrate as a
pair.

Keep the electrode wet when not in use. Dip the electrode in
3M KCL solution (or any storage solution as recommended by
manufacturer)

Calibrate the sensor at regular intervals

Section 7.0

7.3 pH reading not matching with lab reading

It is normal to have differences in pH readings made on on-line


instrument and lab instrument.

The online instrument is subjected to the actual process conditions


such as process temperature, stray voltages, process pressure, supply
voltage variations etc.

The lab instrument works at set standard conditions. Some impurities


are added, the temperature of the lab sample changes and the
differences are seen between both readings.

How to minimize the gap in readings?


You can check both the Lab and On-line instruments by using
the same buffer solution and comparing the readings
If not matching , calibrate both the instruments by the same
buffer solution

Use single point calibration method to match the readings.
