## **A Wide Variety of Electrodes for Long Lasting Reliability** 

- Standard Electrodes are made of stainless steel (SUS 304) and can be used in applications for purified water. 

- SUS316 Electrodes can be used in applications where resistance to corrosion is required. Titanium and Hastelloy Electrodes can be used in applications where resistance to acid is required. 

- For applications where long electrodes are required, a connection nut and two Lock Nuts can be used to extend the electrodes 1 m at a time. 

   - **Refer to** _**Safety Precautions for Electrodes and Electrode Holders.**_ 

## **Orderin Information g** 

Material indications are provided on all OMRON electrodes, connection nuts, and Lock Nuts.

## **Electrode Sets** 

An Electrode Set consists of an electrode, a connecting nut, and two Lock Nuts. 

|Lock Nuts.||||
|---|---|---|---|
|**Set model**|**Components**|**No. of parts**<br>**in an set**|**Weight**<br>**(g)**|
|F03-60 SUS304|F03-01 SUS304|1|Approx.<br>190|

|F03-60 SUS316|F03-01 SUS316|1||
||F03-02 SUS316|1||
||F03-03 SUS316|2||



**Note:** Hastelloy and titanium Electrodes do not come in sets.

- **Note: 1.** Only SUS304 and SUS316 Lock Nuts come with spring washers made of the same material. HAS B, HAS C and TITANIUM don’t come with spring washer. 

   **2.** UNS No. (Unified Numbering System No.) is an international metal designation system that specifies a unique number for each material. 

## **Electrode Separators** 

When long electrodes are required, use Separators at each joint (every 1 m) to prevent the Electrodes from touching each other. Use a 1-pole Separator with BF Electrode Holders. The five-pole model can be used with PS-5S and PS-4S Electrode Holders. Separators cannot be used with PS-31 Electrode Holders.

**Note:** When using two or more Separators, be careful with the mounting direction of the connecting nut screws which connect electrodes. Avoid the screws from touching each other. 

**Note:** The Electrode Separators cannot be used unless the Electrodes are coupled.

## **Cleaning Electrodes** 

Electrodes are clean when they are dispatched. In the rare occasion that they become dirty during transit or storage, such as forming an oil film on the surface, clean them again before using them. 

## **Operating Environment** 

Use the Electrode within the ambient operating temperature range of the Holder. 

ALL DIMENSIONS SHOWN ARE IN MILLIMETERS. 

To convert millimeters into inches, multiply by 0.03937. To convert grams into ounces, multiply by 0.03527.
