8.6.5 Connecting lines and junction boxes
Check cables and connections for moisture.
Moisture reduces the sensor slope. If the
display can not be called up or is fixed on
pH 7, please check the following components:
• Sensor head
• Sensor plug
• pH measuring cable
• Junction box if present
• Extension cable
Note:
The sensor head and junction box
can be cleaned and dried with a
hair-drier.
Caution:
If moisture is found on the
measuring cable, the cable
absolutely must be replaced.
A shunt in the cable of > 20 MΩ cannot be
measured with normal multimeters, but is very
detrimental to pH measurement. Reliable
testing is possible with a commercially
available insulation resistance meter:
• Disconnect the pH measuring cable from
the sensor and instrument.
• If a junction box is used, the incoming and
outgoing pH cables should be checked
separately.
• Preferably test the cable with a test voltage
of 1000 V DC (but least with 500 V DC) test.
• Insulation resistance of an intact cable is
> 100 GΩ.
• Defective (moist) cables will cause
flashover.
Cable replacement is mandatory!
