Wiring the sensor
The FLXA21 can be used with a wide range of commercially available sensor types, both from
Yokogawa and other manufacturers. For more detailed information, refer to the respective
instruction manual of the sensor. The sensor systems from Yokogawa fall into two categories; the
ones that use a fixed cable and the ones with separate cables.
To connect sensors with fixed cables, simply match the terminal numbers in the instrument
with the identification numbers on the cable ends. The separate sensors and cables are not
numbered, but instead use a color-coding system.

pH Measurement
Conventional pH sensors are connected to the module as follows:
11 Temperature
12 Temperature
13 Reference
14 Solution ground
15 Glass (measure)
16 Shield
17 Shield

In addition to the wiring of the sensor, insure that a jumper for low-impedance sensor inputs is
installed. The jumpers can be found on the plastic sensor module cover and can be stored in the
lower level module wiring cover.
• pH Glass Electrode is a high impedance sensor input
• Special electrodes using 2 glass sensor (example: Pfaudler, SC24V) do not need jumpers.
Terminals 15-16 are identified as input 1 (High Impedance) and terminals 13-17 are defined as
input 2 (Low Impedance). For conventional pH sensors, the jumper is placed as illustrated:
