2.1 Sensors
4-20mA Inputs:
Specialized sensors for other process and water treatment parameters are
connected to the Analyzer 4-20mA inputs where they are used for monitoring and data logging.

Operating Issues / Notes
Ammonia
Sensor measures free ammonia within a
pH range of 7.3 to 12.0. Calibration is
performed with a pH adjusted standard
solution. The terms ammonia, NH3, and
free ammonia are used interchangeably in
reference to this sensor.
pH
Install vertically, tip down.
Requires a solution ground.
Reliability increases if calibrated in-line.
Temperature
Sensors connect directly to the Analyzer
and sensor driver cards.
Some sensor types are converted
to 4-20mA inputs prior to measuring.
4-20mA
Inputs
Most operational problems occur during
commissioning; ensuring the loop is
powered and converting the measured
current to the sensor units.
