WARNING – Failure to observe this warn-

The warning symbol on the rating plate
means:
Read these instructions for use, observe the Spec-
ifications, and follow the Safety Instructions.
1 Safety Instructions
1.1 All Applications – All Sensor Variants
Hazards due to pressure, temperature, aggres-
sive media or explosive atmosphere are possi-
ble, depending on the location of use. There-
fore, the installation, operation, and servicing of
the sensor shall only be carried out by suitably
trained personnel authorized by the operating
company.
1.2 Hazardous Areas – All Sensor Variants
Observe all applicable local codes and stan-
dards for the installation of electrical equipment
in hazardous locations. For orientation, please
refer to IEC 60079-14, EU directives 2014/34/EU
and 1999/92/EC (ATEX), NFPA 70 (NEC), ANSI/
ISA-RP12.06.01. The electrical and thermal pa-
rameters of the sensors must be adhered to.
1.3 Hazardous Areas – Sensors with Memosens
Connector
Memosens Ex sensors are marked by an orange-
red ring. Combined with a model CA/MS-***X**
or model CA/MS-***X**-L measuring cable or
a certified measuring cable which is identical
in hardware and function, the sensor may be
connected to a suitable measuring device, as
described in the Certificates BVS 15 ATEX E141 X
and IECEx BVS 15.0114X.
1.4 Hazardous Areas – Sensors with VP
Connector
The sensors shall only be operated with an
approved device in floating, intrinsically safe
circuits.
2 Intended Use
The sensor is used for continuous measurement of pH
and optionally of ORP (Model AMSN) in liquid media.
The SE 554 is a low-maintenance (polymer electrolyte)
and pressure-resistant sensor. It has a temperature
detector for automatic temperature compensation.
The sensor is designed for applications in industrial
processes:
• Heavily polluted media
• Media containing sulfides
• Emulsions and suspensions
• Alkaline media
• Media containing proteins
• Processes with large pressure variations
• Acidic media
• Media containing solvents
The sensor is non-sterilizable / non-autoclavable and
unsuitable for measurements in media containing
chlorine or bromine.
3 Installation and 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 with a tissue. Do not rub the
pH-sensitive glass, since this can lead to electrostat-
ic charging and sluggish response times.
•
Check the space behind the pH-sensitive glass for
the presence of any air bubbles and remove them
by gently swinging the sensor in a vertical plane.
•
Install the sensor in the fitting as described in the
user manual of the respective fitting.
•
Connect sensor and cable.
4 Operation
4.1 Calibrating the Sensor
2-point pH calibration is recommended for the SE 554
sensor: First remove the watering cap. Then dip the
sensor successively into two different buffer solutions
with given pH values (e.g., CaliMat pH 7.00 and pH
4.00) and calibrate the sensor to these buffer values.
ORP calibration is performed as a 1-point calibration
(delta value) using an ORP calibration solution. Please
refer to the user manual of the pH transmitter for fur-
ther details.
4.2 Temperature Detector
The integrated temperature detector is intended for
automatic compensation of the pH signal and not for
any high-precision and safe temperature indication
or control of the process temperature.
5 Maintenance and Cleaning
Carefully rinse the sensor tip and junction with pure
water after each operating cycle. Under no circum-
stances must measuring solution be allowed to dry
on these parts!
When the sensor is not in operation, store it with sen-
sor tip and junction well submerged in electrolyte
(3 mol/l KCl). If a sensor is stored dry for a few days
by mistake, let it soak in electrolyte for several hours
before use.
