3 INSTALLATION OF SC24V
For optimum measurement results, the SC24V
should be installed in a location that offers
an acceptable representation of the process
composition and
DOES NOT
exceed the
specifications of the sensor.
The SC24V is designed with PG13.5 threaded
connection to allow installation in a wide variety
of applications.
3.1 Typical installation
The SC24V sensor is designed for versatile
in-line, immersion or off-line installation. For best
results the SC24V should be mounted with the
process flow coming towards the sensor, and
positioned at least 15° above the horizontal
plane to eliminate air bubbles in the pH glass
bulb (see Figure 1).

3.2 Preparing the sensor for use
Remove the sensor from its shipping box and
slide off the so-called ‘wet pocket’, the tube
filled with solution to prevent drying out of the
measuring elements during shipment or storage.
During shipment, electrolyte in the sensor could
be dislocated. To correct this, place the sensor
upright for 24 hours. Before installing the sensor
in the process it should be calibrated. A general
calibration procedure is described in Section 6
of this Instruction Manual.
3.3 Mounting the sensor
The simplest mounting is to use the PG13.5
threaded connection of the sensor. The sensor
is standard with a slide ring (Ryton) and an
O-ring (Silicon) for direct mounting in a fitting
provided with PG13.5 thread (see Figure 2).
Other O-ring materials are available as a spare
part (see Section 8 of this Instruction Manual).
