3. In-line installation for all -1X electrodes

Inspect threads to ensure integrity. Do not install an electrode with damaged threads.
Apply sealant or PTFE tape to threads.
Wetted materials include 316L stainless steel, PEEK and FPM (FPM O-ring inside 2841, 2842).
Check for chemical compatibility before installing electrode.
The -1X electrodes are supplied with 5 m (15 ft.) of cable. It may be extended to a maximum 30 m (100 ft.)
For resistivity measurements above 10 M or below 20C, maximum cable length is 25 ft. (7.6 m)

If the electrode is mounted

vertically in a tee, do not recess
the openings inside the tee.
Mounting upside down may help
prevent air entrapment.
An oversized tee may also be
helpful for inline installations.

The preferred installation for in-line

applications directs ow straight into the
electrode. This conguration dislodges
entrapped air bubbles, and provides the best
continuous sampling of the uid content.

At least 4 threads (ANSI B1.20.1)

must be engaged to provide
pressure capacity per published
specications.

4. Submersible installation for all -1X electrodes

Wetted materials include 316L stainless steel, PEEK (FPM O-ring inside 2841, 2842).
Check for chemical compatibility before installing electrode.
The -1X electrodes are supplied with 15 ft. of cable. It may be extended to a maximum 30 m (100 ft.)
For resistivity measurements above 10 M or below 20C, maximum cable length is 25 ft. (7.6 m)

1.
2.

Feed cable into watertight conduit.

Apply thread sealant to the electrode before threading
conduit onto electrode. Avoid twisting the cable.
Secure cable with conduit or cable gland.
For additional defense against possible accumulation of
condensation at the back seal area of the electrode, ll the
lower 3-4 inches (75-100 mm) of conduit or extension pipe
with a exible sealant such as silicone.

4.

In aerated vessels install the electrode

in a stillwell to prevent air from being
trapped inside the electrode.

5. Wiring for all -1X electrodes

Do not route electrode cable in conduit containing AC power wiring. Electrical noise may interfere with electrode signal.
Routing electrode cable in grounded metal conduit will help prevent electrical noise and mechanical damage.
Seal cable entry points to prevent moisture damage.
For resistivity measurements above 10 M or below 20C, maximum cable length is 25 ft. (7.6 m)

Integral installation detail for all -1X electrodes

3-8052 Integral Kit and 3-9000.392-X Liquid Tight Connector

kit are required. (See Parts and Accessories on back page)
Cut the cable to approx. 15 cm (6 in.)
Strip outer cable cover back 5 cm (2 in.)
Strip each conductor to expose 1 cm (3/8 in.) of bare wire.
Tin each conductor with solder for best results.

6. Maintenance
Conductivity electrodes require little maintenance except for periodic cleaning in installations where contaminants are present.

Keep metal surfaces clean and free of coatings.

6.1 Replacement Insulator, 2842 electrode only

2842 electrodes have a removable insulator so the internal

cavity can be cleaned.

After the insulator snaps into position it cannot be removed

without damage.

Order insulator replacement kit 3-2842.390 before attempting

maintenance.

Insulator removal and replacement

A. Thread the screw into the insulator (8-32 thread)
B. Pull to remove the old insulator.
C. Clean any coating or deposits inside the electrode.
D. Insert the new insulator and press into place.
