Instructions for Use of the SE102-AN pH Sensor

!

 WARNING – Failure to observe this warning 

may result in serious injury.

Read these instructions for use, observe the Specifi­

cations, and follow the Safety Instructions. 

1  Safety Instructions

Hazards due to temperature or aggressive media are 

possible, depending on the location of use. There­

fore, the operation and servicing of the sensor shall 

only be carried out by suitably trained personnel 

authorized by the operating company. 

Be sure to wear safety goggles and gloves when 

cleaning or calibrating a sensor using acid or alka­

line solutions.

2  Sensor Description and Intended Use

The SE102­AN pH sensor is equipped with 1 m fixed 

cable. Connection to the transmitter (e.g. Portavo) is 

made via a DIN 19262 coax connector and a 4 mm 

spring connector.

The integrated temperature detector provides auto­

matic temperature compensation during calibration 

and operation of the sensor. The sensor is designed 

for simultaneous measurement of pH and tempera­

ture in industrial processes, particularly in the field of:

drinking water, wastewater, water processing.

The markings on the sensor or on the packaging label 

include the following information:

The quality certificate and the packaging label pro­

vide the serial number and the sensor data of the final 

inspection. The sensor fits into the sensor quiver of a 

portable transmitter from the Portavo series.

 seals the quiver.

3  Commissioning

 •

On unpacking, check the sensor for mechanical

damage. Report any damage to your Knick service 

team.

 •

Remove the watering cap and briefly rinse the sen­

sor with pure water. After rinsing, the sensor should 

only be dabbed dry. Do not rub the pH­sensitive

glass, since this can lead to electrostatic charging

and sluggish response times.

Connect the sensor cable with the transmitter.

4  Operation

Note: Always open the closure 

4

 before calibrating 

or measuring. Refill electrolyte if necessary.

4.1 Calibrating the Sensor

2­point calibration is recommended for the SE102­MS 

sensor. The sensor is dipped successively into two

different buffer solutions with given pH values (e.g.,

pH 7.00 and pH 4.00). Please refer to the user manual 

of the pH transmitter for further details. 

4.2 Positioning

The sensor can be operated vertically or inclined up

to 45° off horizontal.

5  Maintenance and Cleaning

Never keep or store the sensor dry! You should store 

the sensor with fitted watering cap containing elec­

trolyte (3 mol/l KCl). If the sensor is to be inserted into 

the quiver of a Portavo series measuring device, the 

screwed­on watering cap (9) must be replaced by the 

included flexible watering cap (10).Close the filling 

hole 

4

  when storing the sensor. Clean the sensor 

(glass membrane and junction) with clean water after 

each production cycle and regularly in case of heavy 

pollution.
