1.1 Description
System Elements The Cal-Clean™ System, and its full-featured Model P63B
pH analyzer, is a fully-automated, highly reliable pH measurement system that substantially reduces overall maintenance costs. This unique system can regularly and automatically clean and calibrate the pH electrode (impor-tant maintenance tasks) without user intervention. The system is designed for applications in which the process flow cannot be stopped but frequent cleaning and calibra-tion is required. The Cal-Clean™ system consists of three primary components:
Model RP6300C Control Box -- This prewired and plumbed component is controlled by the Model P63B pH analyzer. The control box operates the auto-positioner to automatically insert and retract the pH electrode, and automatically dispenses up to five cleaning, rinse, and buffer solutions to the electrode.
Model RP6300A Auto-positioner -- This component, controlled by the Model RP6300C control box, is in-stalled into the process line or vessel wall. (The 1-1/2 inch NPT process connection style auto-postioner can be immersion mounted in a vessel or pond using GLI’s immersible accessory RP6300M3G5000-101.) Pres-surized air actuates the auto-positioner to insert and retract the pH electrode. Two electrode position indi-cation sensors on the positioner verify when the electrode is fully inserted or fully retracted. When fully retracted, the auto-positioner isolates the electrode from the process. The integral solution chamber of the positioner holds a small volume of solution, immersing the electrode for cleaning and calibration.
Model P63B pH Analyzer -- This component can be integrally mounted into the RP6300C control box door or separately mounted. The analyzer controls the en-tire Cal-Clean™ System. It must be configured for automatic wash/cal operation. For details, see Oper-ating Instruction Manual No. P63.
PART ONE - INTRODUCTION SECTION 1 - GENERAL INFORMATION
Versatile Scheduling
1.2 Operating Precautions
The analyzer enables independent scheduling for cleaning and calibration events. Each scheduled event can contain from a few to up to 15 functional steps. Each step can last from 1 to 999 seconds, enabling cleaning and calibration events to be easily configured in hundreds of ways to suit specific application needs. See Operating Instruction Man-ual No. P63 for details on scheduling.
WARNING:
UNUSUAL SYSTEM OPERATING CONDITIONS SUCH AS EXCESSIVE CYCLE TIME, POWER SURGES, ETC. MAY CAUSE THE MANIFOLD ASSEMBLY ON THE BOTTOM OF THE RP6300C CONTROL BOX TO BECOME HOT.
1. The combination pH electrode used in the
auto-positioner is glass which can easily break. Do not sub-ject it to impact or other mechanical abuse.
WARNING:
A BROKEN GLASS ELECTRODE CAN CAUSE SERIOUS CUTS IF NOT HANDLED CAREFULLY.
2. The optional combination pH electrode supplied with the auto-positioner can withstand typical steam sterili-zation CIP cleaning, or the electrode can be cleaned when it is fully retracted from the process.
3. Before placing the electrode into operation, remove the
protective plastic cap. Store this cap for future use. NOTE: If electrode is to be out of solution for more
than a day or two, put a few drops of 3M KCl solution in the cap and replace it on the elec-trode. If KCl solution is unavailable, use dilute pH 4 buffer, or as a last choice, distilled water. This keeps the pH sensitive glass and refer-ence junction of the electrode moist and avoids slow response when the electrode is put back into operation.
PART ONE - INTRODUCTION SECTION 1 - GENERAL INFORMATION
WARNING:
BEFORE REPLACING AN ELECTRODE, ALWAYS DE-PRESSURIZE THE PROCESS LINE. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO REMOVE THE ELECTRODE FROM THE AUTO-POSITIONER WHILE THE AUTO-POSITIONER IS INSTALLED IN A PRESSURIZED LINE. WHEN THE ELECTRODE IS RETRACTED, THE SOLUTION CHAMBER IN THE POSITIONER IS NORMALLY SEALED. HOWEVER, IF THE FRONT ELECTRODE SEAL BREAKS WHILE REMOVING THE ELECTRODE, PRESSURIZED SOLUTION CAN FLOW PASSED IT AND OUT OF THE BACK OF THE POSITIONER.

2.1 In-line Applications☞
1-1/2 inch NPT Process ConnectionThe auto-positioner may be mounted into the top or side of a vessel, or directly into a process line. When side mount-ing the auto-positioner, orient it at least 15° above
horizontal to ensure that the electrode performs properly.
In all cases, make adequate clearance allowances for: Fully retracting the electrode
Connecting two pressurized air lines from the control box to the auto-positioner control valves
Connecting a solution line from the control box to one of the auto-positioner cleaning ports
Connecting a solution drain line to the auto-positioner’s other cleaning port
NOTE: When retracting the electrode under process
pres-sure, process solution may vent from the open cleaning ports shown in Figure 2-8. If the process solution is hot or in any way dangerous, consider this condition when designing the plumbing ar-rangement.
The auto-positioner is available in one of four connection styles. Each connection style requires specific mounting hardware to mount the positioner into the process pipe or vessel wall. Refer to the appropriate subheading for mounting details.
An auto-positioner with a 1-1/2 inch NPT process connec-tion style requires GLI’s stainless steel RP6300A3F1005 adapter shown in Figure 2-2 for mounting into a standard 1-1/2 inch NPT pipe tee or fitting.

☞
Disassembling Immersible Accessory
NOTE: The auto-positioner may be submerged below the
surface of the vessel or pond to a depth of 6 ft. (2 m). Depending on the desired depth, it may be necessary to replace the immersible accessory’s short pipeway pipe with a longer pipe. Since the cable and tubing grips at the top of the accessory’s pipeway are not waterproof, keep them at least 12 inches (305 mm) above the surface. Leakage through the grips will damage the auto-positioner and its electrode positioner indication sensors.
1. Unfasten the three retaining nuts holding the top cover/ pipeway assembly of the immersible accessory.

2. If it is desired to submerge the immersible accessory to a greater depth, replace the short pipeway pipe with a longer pipe. Unfasten the short pipeway pipe from the chamber cover and radial grip piece. Then, fasten the new, longer replacement pipe in the same way.
After disassembling the immersible accessory, install the auto-positioner, and connect all required tubing and electri-cal cables.
NOTE: Use Teflon tape on all threads wetted by the
proc-ess to avoid leaks.
1. Fasten the 1-1/2 inch NPT adapter onto the end of the auto-positioner.
2. Hand tighten the 1-1/2 inch NPT adapter (attached to the auto-positioner) into the bottom chamber cover of the immersible accessory.
3. Plumb a solution line from the RP6300C control box
pump outlet, through one of the grips on the radial grip piece, to one of the RP6300A auto-positioner cleaning ports. See Part Two, Section 3.2 for details.
4. Plumb a drain line from the auto-positioner’s opposite cleaning port, through one of the grips on the radial grip piece, to a drain. See Part Two, Section 3.3 for details.
5. Connect the air “insert” and “retract” lines from the RP6300C control box, through grips on the radial grip piece, to the RP6300A auto-positioner. See Part Two, Sections 4.2 and 4.3 respectively for details.
6. Connect the pH electrode cable wires, through one of the grips on the radial grip piece, to terminals in the RP6300C control box. Refer to Part Two, Section 6.1 for details. (If the P63B pH analyzer is separately mounted, connect the pH electrode to the analyzer ter-minals. See Part Two, Section 7.1 for details.)
7. Connect the electrode position indication sensors on the auto-positioner, through one of the grips on the ra-dial grip piece, to terminals in the RP6300C control box. See Part Two, Section 6.2 (or Section 7.2) for details.
8. Calibrate and install the electrode into the RP6300A auto-positioner. See Part Two, Section 5.1 for details.

3.1 Cleaning Solution and Buffer Supply Lines
☞
3.2 Auto-positioner Solution Line
The Cal-Clean™ System requires these plumbing connec-tions:
Supply lines for cleaning solutions and buffers to the RP6300C control box manifold inlets.
A solution line from the control box pump outlet to one of the RP6300A auto-positioner cleaning ports.
A drain line to the auto-positioner’s other cleaning port.
Using metal or plastic tubing, plumb up to five cleaning so-lution and buffer supply lines into appropriate manifold inlets. Each inlet is clearly identified from left to right by so-lution type: BUFFER 1, BUFFER 2, RINSE, AUXILIARY WASH, and MAIN WASH. Using appropriate tubing and fit-tings, connect each supply line to its respective check valve inlet (1/8 inch NPT male) on the manifold.
NOTE: The GLI optional manifold plumbing hardware kit
enables using plastic tubing. In this case, fasten the supplied couplings to the check valve inlets, and attach the supplied 1/8 inch barbed fittings. Hose clamps may be used to secure the tubing connec-tion to the barbed fitting.
When the auto-positioner is fully retracted, it isolates the pH electrode from the process with a positive seal, and forms an integral solution chamber. This enables the electrode to be immersed in cleaning solutions and buffers for cleaning and calibration without contaminating the process.
Using metal or plastic tubing, plumb a solution line from the control box pump outlet to one of the cleaning ports on the auto-positioner (see Figures 2-8 and 2-12). Connections for the solution line are 1/8 inch female NPT.

5.2 Removing Electrode
1. Remove the electrode’s protective plastic cap. Avoid scratching the pH glass bulb when handling the elec-trode.
2. Perform a first time calibration with the electrode not yet installed in the auto-positioner. Refer to the P63 in-struction manual (Part Three, Sections 4.3 and 4.4) and perform a two-point calibration using the arbitrary buffer method.
3. Install the electrode. Lubricate its glass body with water so that it slides more easily against the auto-positioner’s internal O-rings. Carefully insert the elec-trode into the elecelec-trode holder (item H33 in Figure 5-1) at the rear of the positioner.
NOTE: Make sure the plastic washer and O-ring
(shipped with electrode) are in place on the glass electrode body. If not, the electrode could be inserted too deeply, damaging the elec-trode.
To ease installation, gently twist the electrode while in-serting it past the front O-ring seals. When fully inserted, the pH glass bulb should be visible approxi-mately 1/8 inch from the bottom of the protector (Figure 2-9). Hand-tighten the electrode retaining nut onto the electrode holder; then tighten 1/4 turn more with a wrench or pliers.
Before removing the electrode from the auto-positioner, al-ways retract it by:
1. Pressing the MAINT key.
2. Selecting “Sensor Maintenance” line and pressing
ENTER key.
3. Selecting “Manual Retract” line and pressing ENTER key.

1. In the control box, connect the electrode cable’s clear insulated wire (active signal) to “ACT.” terminal 1 on TB14. (Do not remove the factory-connected wire from this terminal.)
2. In the control box, connect the electrode cable’s black shield wire (reference signal) to “REF.” terminal 3 on TB13.
Some applications may require a separate external tem-perature sensor to be used with the pH electrode. (Since GLI offers pH electrodes with an integral temperature sen-sor, separate temperature sensors are not available.) The Cal-Clean™ System can be used with either a Pt100 or Pt1000 RTD sensor. Install the temperature sensor into the plugged 1/8 inch NPT port (Figure 2-8) of the auto-positioner. Do not use the two cleaning ports.
1. Unplug the port and install the temperature sensor.
2. In the control box, connect the temperature sensor
wires to the “TC” terminals 1 and 2 on TB13, attaching either wire to either terminal.

Indication Sensors
6.3 Line Power
Sensors on the auto-positioner indicate the extreme posi-tions of the electrode to the control system. One position sensor indicates when the electrode is fully retracted. This ensures that the process media will not be contaminated by solutions being pumped into the auto-positioner’s integral solution chamber. The other position sensor indicates when the electrode is fully inserted. This ensures that the elec-trode is actually in the process, and that the auto-positioner is maintaining a positive seal with the process.
To connect these sensors, refer to Figure 2-12 and follow these steps:
1. In the control box, connect the “INSERT” sensor’s three wires to the “INSERT” terminals on TB1, matching col-ors as indicated.
2. In the control box, connect the “RETRACT” sensor’s
three wires to the “RETRACT” terminals on TB1, matching colors as indicated.
Connect line power to “MAINS” terminals on TB4 and TB5 in the control box using the standard three-wire connection arrangement. Use wiring practices that conform to local codes (example: National Electric Code Handbook in USA).

☞
You can independently adjust the electrode insert and re-tract speeds by turning the small screw in the end of each auto-positioner air control valve.
• Turning counterclockwise (left): Moves the electrode at a faster speed (increases control valve opening). • Turning clockwise (right): Moves the electrode at a
slower speed (decreases control valve opening).
Adjust these valves to optimize the electrode insert and retract speeds to the application requirements.
Recom-mendation: Adjust the valves equally to produce a smooth
electrode movement. (Note that the insert and retract speeds cannot be adjusted to be dramatically different.)
NOTE: Never adjust the air control valves fully open, since
the abrupt movement of the auto-positioner mechanism may cause the electrode to break.

After installing and wiring the Cal-Clean™ System, and connecting the solution and pressurized air lines to the control box and auto-positioner, you must set the P63B pH analyzer for automatic wash/cal operation:
1. Press the CONFIG key. If a passcode was assigned,
enter the correct passcode to access the configuration menus.
2. Select the “Wash/Cal System” submenu and enable the wash/cal feature to set the analyzer for automatic wash/cal operation. All relays, TTL inputs, and TTL outputs are now re-assigned to operate the Cal-Clean™ System.
3. Define and schedule wash and cal events. For details on events (shown as “cycles” on the P63B display and referred to as “cycles” in the P63B instruction manual), see Part Three, Section 5.4 in the “Establishing Wash/Cal System Operation” subsection.
4. Start system operation in one of two ways:
■ Locally at the analyzer:
A. Press the CAL key, and select “pH.” From the “pH Calibration” submenu, select “Wash/Cal.”
B. With the “Wash/Cal” submenu displayed, se-lect “RUN” and press the ENTER key twice to.
■ From a remote location:
Apply a TTL signal for at least 300 milliseconds to “REMOTE INPUT” terminals (in control box for in-tegral-mounted analyzer or in analyzer when it is remote-mounted).

P A R T F O U R - S E R V I C E A N D M A I N T E N A N C E
S
ECTION

Normally, all pH electrodes “age” with time. Aging is char-acterized by shortened span and slower speed of response. A span or slope adjustment can compensate for electrode span error, but not for slower speed of response. Aging is best detected by calibrating the electrode in, for example, pH 7 buffer and then rinsing the electrode and placing it in pH 4 buffer. Generally, if the span error is 10% or more (a reading of 4.3 or higher for this example), clean and/or re-condition the electrode and then retest it. If rere-conditioning does not restore performance, the electrode should be re-placed.
Perform calibration periodically with pH buffers to maintain measurement accuracy. Establish a maintenance program to keep the electrode clean and the measurement system calibrated. The time intervals (hours, days, weeks) between performing maintenance will be influenced by the charac-teristics of the process solution and can only be determined by operating experience. Usually, a process that fouls the sensor more quickly requires more frequent cleaning.

The auto-positioner is shipped with a light silicone grease covering the shaft components. This lubricant protects in-ternal sliding surfaces while in storage and aids operation when in use. Under normal conditions this lubricant should last the life of the positioner. However, if the auto-positioner is operated continuously at temperatures above 70°C, it may become necessary to periodically re-apply lubricant. If the electrode becomes difficult to insert and re-tract (excluding any resistance from the process solution pressure), you can lubricate the entire shaft with any high temperature silicone grease that is compatible with the as-sembly’s materials of construction (acetal, Viton, and 316 stainless steel).
