1 Introduction
1.1 System Description
The AX460 single input and AX466 dual input pH/Redox (ORP)
analyzers and associated electrode systems have been
designed for continuous monitoring and control of pH and
Redox (ORP). The electrode system can be standardized to the
analyzer using the built-in calibration facility and a single point
buffering facility provides easy re-calibration after initial
standardization.
The analyzer is available in wall-/pipe-mount or panel-mount
versions with either one or two programmable, pH or Redox
(ORP) input channels, each with its own associated temperature
input channel. When making temperature compensated
measurements, the sample temperature is sensed by a
resistance thermometer (Pt100, Pt1000 or Balco 3K) mounted
in the electrode system.
The analyzer can be configured for, and connected to, either a
standard pH input (single, high impedance input >10
13
) or
differential pH input (dual, high impedance inputs, both >10
13
).
Differential pH input is designed for use with pH electrode
systems that incorporate a solution earth (ground) rod. The
measuring electrode and reference electrode signals are
measured separately using two, high impedance amplifiers and
compared with the solution earth (ground) potential. The
difference between the results is the value used for the pH
measurement.
All models incorporate a wash facility for system cleaning; the
Alarm 3 relay can be configured to control the wash system
either automatically or manually. The relay can be programmed
to deliver either a continuous or pulsed signal to control an
external power supply to a solenoid or pump and the frequency,
duration and recovery time for the wash cycle are also
programmable. During a wash cycle, the analog output value is
held in its pre-cycle condition.
Analyzer operation and programming are performed using five
tactile membrane keys on the front panel. Programmed
functions are protected from unauthorized alteration by a
four-digit security code.
1.2 PID Control
The AX460 single input pH analyzer incorporates Proportional
Integral Derivative (PID) control as standard. Refer to the
PID Control Supplementary User Guide, IM/AX4PID for a full
description and instructions on how to configure and operate
PID control.
1.3 AX400 Series Analyzer Options
Table 1.1 shows the range of configurations that are possible for
the AX400 Series analyzers. The analyzer detects the type of
input board fitted for each input automatically and displays only
the operating and programming frames applicable to that input
board type. If no input board is fitted for a second input
(Sensor B), Sensor B frames are not displayed.

6.3 Connections, General
Warning.
The instrument is not fitted with a switch therefore a disconnecting device such as a switch or circuit breaker conforming to
local safety standards must be fitted to the final installation. It must be fitted in close proximity to the instrument within easy
reach of the operator and must be marked clearly as the disconnection device for the instrument.
Remove all power from supply, relay and any powered control circuits and high common mode voltages before accessing
or making any connections.
The power supply earth (ground) must be connected to ensure safety to personnel, reduction of the effects of RFI
interference and correct operation of the power supply interference filter.
The power supply earth (ground) must be connected to the earth (ground) stud on the analyzer case see Fig. 6.8
(wall-/pipe-mount analyzers) or Fig. 6.10 (panel-mount analyzers).
Use cable appropriate for the load currents. The terminals accept cables up to 14 AWG (2.5mm
2
).
The instrument conforms to Mains Power Input Insulation Category III. All other inputs and outputs conform to Category II.
All connections to secondary circuits must have basic insulation.
After installation, there must be no access to live parts, e.g. terminals.
Terminals for external circuits are for use only with equipment with no accessible live parts.
The relay contacts are voltage-free and must be appropriately connected in series with the power supply and the
alarm/control device which they are to actuate. Ensure that the contact rating is not exceeded. Refer also to Section 6.3.1
for relay contact protection details when the relays are to be used for switching loads.
Do not exceed the maximum load specification for the selected analog output range.
The analog output is isolated, therefore the ve terminal must be connected to earth (ground) if connecting to the isolated
input of another device.
If the instrument is used in a manner not specified by the Company, the protection provided by the equipment may be
impaired.
All equipment connected to the instrument's terminals must comply with local safety standards (IEC 60950, EN61010-1).
Note.
An earthing (grounding) stud terminal is fitted to the analyzer case for bus-bar earth (ground) connection see Fig. 6.8
(wall-/pipe-mount analyzers) or Fig. 6.10 (panel-mount analyzers).
Always route signal output/sensor cell cable leads and mains-carrying/relay cables separately, ideally in earthed (grounded)
metal conduit. Use twisted pair output leads or screened cable with the screen connected to the case earth (ground) stud.
Ensure that the cables enter the analyzer through the glands nearest the appropriate screw terminals and are short and
direct. Do not tuck excess cable into the terminal compartment.
Ensure that the IP65 rating is not compromised when using cable glands, conduit fittings and blanking plugs/bungs (M20
holes). The M20 glands accept cable of between 5 and 9mm (0.2 and 0.35 in.) diameter.
6.3.1 Relay Contact Protection and Interference Suppression
If the relays are used to switch loads on and off, the relay contacts can become eroded due to arcing. Arcing also generates radio
frequency interference (RFI) which can result in analyzer malfunctions and incorrect readings. To minimize the effects of RFI, arc
suppression components are required; resistor/capacitor networks for AC applications or diodes for DC applications. These
components must be connected across the load see Fig. 6.6.
For AC applications the value of the resistor/capacitor network depends on the load current and inductance that is switched. Initially,
fit a 100R/0.022 F RC suppressor unit (part no. B9303) as shown in Fig. 6.6A. If the analyzer malfunctions (locks up, display goes
blank, resets etc.) the value of the RC network is too low for suppression and an alternative value must be used. If the correct value
cannot be obtained, contact the manufacturer of the switched device for details on the RC unit required.
For DC applications fit a diode as shown in Fig. 6.6B. For general applications use an IN5406 type (600 V peak inverse voltage at
3 A).
Note. For reliable switching the minimum voltage must be greater than 12V and the minimum current greater than 100mA.

AX416, AX436, AX460, AX466 & AX468 7 Calibration
7 Calibration
7.1 Equipment Required
1. Millivolt source (pH or Redox input simulator): 1000 to 1000 mV.
2. Decade resistance box (Pt100/Pt1000 temperature input simulator): 0 to 10 k (in increments of 0.01 ), accuracy 0.1 %.
3. Digital milliammeter (current output measurement): 0 to 20 mA.
7.2 Preparation
1. Switch off the supply and disconnect the conductivity cell(s), temperature compensator(s) and current output(s) from the
analyzer's terminal blocks.
2. Sensor A Fig. 7.1:
a. Link terminals B9 and B10.
b. Connect the millivolt source to terminals B14 (ve) and B16 (+ve) to simulate the pH or Redox input. Connect the millivolt
source earth to the Case Earth (Ground) Stud see Fig. 6.8 (wall-/pipe-mount analyzer) or Fig. 6.10 (panel-mount analyzer).
c. Connect the 0 to 10 k decade resistance box to terminals B9 and B11 to simulate the Pt100/Pt1000/Balco 3K.
Sensor B (dual input analyzers only) Fig. 7.1:
a. Link terminals B1 and B2.
b. Connect the millivolt source to terminals B6 (ve) and B8 (+ve) to simulate the pH or Redox input. Connect the millivolt source
earth to the Case Earth (Ground) Stud see Fig. 6.8 or (wall-/pipe-mount analyzer) or Fig. 6.10 (panel-mount analyzer).
c. Connect the 0 to 10 k decade resistance box to terminals B1 and B3 to simulate the Pt100/Pt1000/Balco 3K.
3. Connect the milliammeter to the analog output terminals.
4. Switch on the supply and allow ten minutes for the circuits to stabilize.
5. Select the FACTORY SETTINGS page and carry out Section 7.3.
Note.
The analyzer is calibrated by the Company prior to dispatch and the Factory Settings pages are protected by an access
code.
Routine recalibration is not necessary high stability components are used in the analyzer's input circuitry and, once
calibrated, the Analog-to-Digital converter chip self-compensates for zero and span drift. It is therefore unlikely that the
calibration will change over time.
Do Not attempt recalibration without first contacting ABB.
Do Not attempt recalibration unless the input board has been replaced or the Factory Calibration tampered with.
Prior to attempting recalibration, test the analyzer's accuracy using suitably calibrated test equipment see Section 7.1,
page 56 and see Section 7.2, page 56.
Note. Resistance boxes have an inherent residual resistance that may range from a few m up to 1 . This value must be taken
into account when simulating input levels, as should the overall tolerance of the resistors within the boxes.

8 Simple Fault Finding
8.1 Error Messages
If erroneous or unexpected results are obtained, the fault may
be indicated in the Operating Page by an error message see
Table 8.1. However, some faults may cause problems with
analyzer calibration or give discrepancies when compared with
independent laboratory measurements.
8.2 Calibration Fail Message or No Response to
pH/Redox Changes
The majority of problems are associated with the electrodes and
cabling. Replace the electrodes as an initial check refer to the
appropriate instruction manual. It is also important that all
program parameters have been entered correctly and have not
been altered inadvertently see Section 7, page 56.
If the above checks do not resolve the fault:
1. Check that the analyzer responds to a millivolt input.
Connect a pH simulator, such as Model 2410, to the
transmitter input; +ve to glass and ve to reference see
Section 6.4, page 50 or 6.5. Select the CONFIG. SENSORS
page and set the Probe Type to Redox or ORP. Check that
the analyzer displays the correct values as set on the
simulator.
Failure to respond to the input indicates a fault with the
analyzer which must be returned to the Company for
repair. Correct response, but with incorrect readings,
usually indicates a calibration problem. Recalibrate the
analyzer as detailed in Section 7.
2. Use the pH simulator to carry out an impedance check on
the analyzer, i.e. glass to reference, glass to earth and
reference to earth refer to simulator manual.
If the analyzer fails this test, check for moisture within the
transmitter and in particular the terminal compartment. It is
vital that all evidence of moisture is removed with the use
of a hot air drier.
3. Reconnect the electrode cable and connect the simulator
to the electrode end of the cable. Repeat the procedures
1) and 2) above. If the analyzer fails test 2), check for
moisture around the connections and check that the
insulation on the inner co-axial conductor is clean and that
the graphite layer has been removed.

8.3 Checking the Temperature Input
Check the analyzer responds to a temperature input.
Disconnect the Pt100/Pt1000/Balco 3K leads and connect a
suitable resistance box directly to the analyzer inputs see
Section 6.4, page 50 (wall-/pipe-mount analyzer) or see Section
6.5, page 52 (panel-mount analyzer). Check the analyzer
displays the correct values as set on the resistance box see
Table 8.2.
Incorrect readings usually indicate an electrical calibration
problem. Re-calibrate the analyzer as detailed in Section 7.

Appendix A Buffer Solutions
The pH value of buffer solutions is influenced considerably by
temperature variations. Thus, when significant temperature
fluctuations occur, it is general practice to correct automatically
the measured, prevailing pH to the value that would apply if the
solution temperature were 25 C (77 F), the internationally
accepted standard.
Tables A1 to A5 include the pH values for ABB, DIN, Merck,
NIST, and US Technical buffer solutions. Standards are for 4, 7
and 9 pH values, from 0 to 95 C (32 to 203 F).
