1 Introduction

The METTLER TOLEDO InPro 3100(i) pH electrodes are

low-maintenance, autoclavable and pressure-resistant

measuringelectrodeswithagel-typereferenceelectrolyte.

The reference element incorporates a silver-ion trap to

preventsilversuldeprecipitationonthediaphragm.Incase

ofInPro3100,atemperaturesensorisintegrated,mainlyfor

automatictemperaturecompensationpossibilitiesofthepH

signal during calibration and operation.

The InPro 3100(i) electrodes are mainly designed for

the measurement of pH value in biotechnical processes

at moderate pressures (<6bar). It can be used under

industrial fermentation, pilot and laboratory conditions,

and is particularly intended for those processes where

intermediatesterilizationorautoclavingisindispensable.

Pleasereadthroughtheseoperatinginstructionscarefully

beforecommissioning,inordertoensuretrouble-freeuse.

2 Safetyinstructions

The InPro 3100(i) electrodes are intended solely for the

purposedescribedin§1above.Theelectrodeconsistspartly

ofglassandshouldbehandledcarefully.Iftheelectrodeis

tobecleanedorcalibratedusingacidoralkalinesolutions,

safetygoggles and gloves shouldbeworn.Localsafety

regulationsareapplicabletothehandlingoftheelectrode.

Pleasefollowtheguidelinesenclosedforaninstallationin

theEx-zone.

We recommend that you only operate the electrode in

combination with original parts from METTLER TOLEDO.

Operationandmaintenanceshouldbecarriedoutonlyby

trainedpersonnelandstaffwhohavereadandunderstood

theoperatinginstructions.

4 Installationandcommissioning

1. On unpacking, check the electrode for mechanical

damage of the pH sensitive glass and shaft. Report

any damage immediately to your METTLER TOLEDO

supplier.

2. Removethewateringcapandbrieyrinsetheelectrode

withdeionizedwater.Afterrinsing,theelectrodeshould

onlybedabbeddrywithatissue.DonotrubthepH

sensitive glass, since this can lead to electrostatic

chargingandsluggishresponsetimes.

3. CheckthespacebehindthepHsensitiveglassforthe

presenceofanyairbubblesandremovesamebygently

swingingtheelectrodeinaverticalplane.

4. Please refer to the instruction manual of the relative

housinginordertoinstalltheelectrode.

5. Connect the electrode to the pH transmitter, using a

cable with the appropriate connector (VP connector

forInPro3100).Pleaserefertothewiringandterminal

diagramaccompanyingthecable.

transmitter,moduleandcable.

5 Operation

5.1CalibrationoftheelectrodeandpHtransmitter

FortheInPro3100(i)electrodea2-pointpHcalibrationis

recommended.Beforecalibration,rstremovethewatering

cap.Tospeeduptheresponsetimeoftheelectrodeafter

longtransportandstorageperiods,andbeforecalibration,

diptheelectrodeintobufferpH7,bufferpH4andbufferpH

7again,eachtimeforaboutoneminute.Theelectrodeis

thendippedsuccessivelyintotwodifferentbuffersolutions

withgivenpHreferencevaluesandthetransmittercalibrated

tothesebuffervalues.NormallyyoustartwithbufferpH7

fordeterminingthe0-pointandthenbufferpH4or9for

determiningtheslope.Inthecaseofmicroprocessor-based

transmitters with buffer recognition,the order of the two

chosenbuffer solutionsis irrelevant.Whenever possible,

atemperaturesensor(forInPro3100theintegratedone)

should be connected to the transmitter and “automatic

temperaturemeasurement”selectedthere.Pleasereferto

theinstructionmanualofthetransmitterforfurtherdetails.

5.2Sterilizationofelectrode

TheInPro3100(i)electrodecanbesterilizedeitherthrough

autoclaving (remove red protection cap) or through in-

situ sterilization with steam or superheated fermentation

medium. Sterilization temperatures above 140°Care not

allowed,andexcessivesterilizationtime(forinstancet>30

minat140°C)could notably shorten the life time of the

electrode.Repeatedsterilizationand/orautoclavingofthe

electrodecanleadtoaslightcolorationoftheelectrolyte.

This color change does not effect the functioning of the

electrode.

5.3TemperaturesensorofInPro3100(analogversion)

The integrated Pt100/1000 temperature sensor in the

InPro3100isprimarilyintendedforautomatictemperature

compensationofthepHsignalandnotforanyaccurate

andsafetemperatureindicationorcontroloftheprocess

temperature. If you anyhow want to try this, check that

yourtransmitter has the required temperature indication

accuracyandafree outletforthesignal.Furthermore,a

calibrationofthetemperaturesignalmightbenecessary.

6 Maintenance

1. Carefully rinse the electrode tip and diaphragm with

deionizedwateraftereachproductioncycle.Underno

circumstancesmustmeasuringsolutionbeallowedto

2. When the electrode is not in operation, store it with

electrode tip and diaphragm well submerged into

3. Iftheelectrodeisstoredmountedinitshousing,the

same rule as in 2) above applies, but the storage

ordertoavoidcorrosionofhousingparts.

4. Ifanelectrodeisstoreddryforafewdaysbymistake,

letitsoakinthenormalstorageelectrolyteforseveral

5. Occasionallychecktheconnectorforpossibletracesof

moisture.Ifnecessary,cleanwellwithdeionizedwater

oralcohol,andafterwardsdrycarefully.

7 Trouble-shooting(sluggishresponsetime,

TheglassmembranecanbereactivatedusingaHFsolution

(orderno.51319053).Theelectrodetip(onlypHsensitive
