1. PREFACE

1.1 Introduction

This Instruction Manual provides information

for the installation and use of the FU24F

SENCOM™ sensor. This digital sensor

shows how Yokogawa applies the motto

“Simply the Best” to sensor technology.

Setup of the sensor is very easy because

all sensor specific characteristics, such as

calibration data, are stored in the sensor.

The FU24F SENCOM™ sensor holds

four separate measuring elements in one

unbreakable and chemical resistant

PPS 40GF (Ryton

TM

) wide body:

• pH glass electrode.

• Long life saturated Ag/AgCl reference

system with double junction, combined

with ion-trap to prolong the lifetime of

the reference probe even in chemically

unfavorable environments.

• Integral Pt1000 element for accurate

temperature measurements.

• Solid Platinum ORP/LE electrode for

accurate simultaneous pH and ORP

measurements.

The Model FU24F offers a simple and

cost effective solution for process

applications with fluctuating pressure and/

or temperature which normally limits the

lifetime of a sensor.

By using the patented Bellow system a

strong pressure compensation mechanism

is created. This ensures immediate interior

pressure equalization to the outside process

pressure, making the sensor virtually

insensitive to process pressure variations.

A slight overpressure caused by the bellow

tension prevents process fluid ingress and

maintains a positive ion flow out of the

sensor. This feature is of particular interest

in pure water applications.

Other valuable features of the sensor:

• PTFE reference diaphragm to prevent

fouling.

• Polymerized electrolyte to extend the

sensor lifetime.

• Available in two versions, a robust dome

shape model for applications with a

limited amount of solids, and a flat surface

model for application in slurries, such as

in the pulp and paper industry.

• Versatile in-line or off-line installation.

The FU24F is provided with a multipole

M9 male connector for connection to the

Yokogawa FLXA analyzer using the WU11

interconnection cable for SENCOM™

sensors. This cable, available in 4 fixed

lengths, is specified for reliable transfer of

digital signals and especially designed to be

installed in a heavy industrial environment.

The double shielded cable will protect both

the sensor and the analyzer for interference

from high voltages and currents which are

present on other cables.

1.2 Unpacking and Checking

Upon delivery, unpack the sensor carefully

and inspect it to ensure that it is not

damaged during shipment. If damage is

found, retain the original packing material

and immediately notify the carrier and the

relevant local Yokogawa Sales Office.

Make sure the Model Code and Serial

Number on the sensor are the same as on

the packing list. Also check if option(s) that

were ordered, are included and correct.
