Installation Instructions
Mounting Options
Wall Mounting
Use the mounting holes on the back of the transmitter housing. Recommended screws: M4 or #8. Ensure the mounting surface is flat and can support the transmitter weight.
Pipe Mounting
Use the optional pipe mounting kit (order separately). The kit allows mounting on pipes with diameters from 1" to 2" (25 mm to 50 mm).

Electrical Connections
Power Supply Connection
The transmitter is loop-powered (two-wire device) and requires 13.5 to 55 VDC. Connect the power supply to terminals L+ (+24 VDC) and M (0 VDC).
Sensor Connection
Connect the pH/ORP/pION sensor to the appropriate terminals. Refer to the terminal block diagram in the user manual for specific wiring details.
Communication Connection
If using digital communication (HART, Foundation Fieldbus, PROFIBUS PA), connect the communication lines according to the selected protocol specifications.
Configuration and Calibration
Configuration
The TB82PH2110430 can be configured using either the front panel pushbuttons or through digital communication (HART, Foundation Fieldbus, PROFIBUS PA). The intuitive menu system guides the user through setup, calibration, and maintenance procedures.
Basic Configuration
- Select measurement type (pH, ORP, or pION)
- Configure temperature compensation mode
- Set output range and scaling
- Configure display options
Advanced Configuration
- Set security codes to prevent unauthorized access
- Configure alarm settings and relay outputs (if applicable)
- Set up digital communication parameters
- Configure diagnostic functions
Calibration
The transmitter supports both one-point and two-point calibration methods. For accurate measurements, regular calibration is recommended.
One-Point Calibration
Used to adjust for offsets that may occur when the sensor is in process. Immerse the sensor in a single buffer solution and follow the menu prompts.
Two-Point Calibration
Provides higher accuracy across the entire measurement range. Immerse the sensor in two different buffer solutions (typically pH 4.01 and pH 7.00 or pH 7.00 and pH 10.01) and follow the menu prompts.
Factory Reset
If necessary, the transmitter can be easily reset back to factory calibration settings through the menu system.
Diagnostics and Maintenance
Diagnostic Features
The TB82PH2110430 includes comprehensive diagnostic functions to help identify and troubleshoot issues with the transmitter, sensor, or process.
- Sensor error detection (open circuit, short circuit)
- Out-of-range measurements
- Temperature sensor diagnostics
- Loop current monitoring
- Communication status indicators
- Calibration due reminders
Maintenance Recommendations
Regular Sensor Maintenance
Clean the sensor regularly according to the process conditions. Replace the sensor when response time deteriorates or calibration cannot be achieved within acceptable limits.
Transmitter Inspection
Periodically inspect the transmitter housing for damage and ensure the seals are intact to maintain the NEMA 4X/IP65 rating.
Calibration Verification
Verify calibration regularly using standard buffer solutions. The frequency depends on the process conditions and accuracy requirements.
