1 Introduction
1.2 Instrument description
Transmitter The transmitter for measuring specific conductivity has been designed for use
on site. The sturdy housing (IP67 protection) of glassfibre reinforced polyamide
protects the electronics and the electrical connections from corrosive
environmental conditions. A 3-wire transmitter for conductivity and a 2-wire
transmitter for temperature (output signals 4 — 20mA) are provided as
standard. As an option, the conductivity can be shown on an integrated 3½
digit LCD digital display. The current signals can be processed by suitable
indicator/control units or directly on a PLC.

Process For a variety of applications, the unit can be provided with different process
connections connections. If not otherwise specified, the male threads and process
connections are made of stainless steel V2A 1.4301.

Typical The transmitter is used in liquid media where severe deposits of dirt, oil,
applications grease, gypsum or lime are to be expected:
- Food, drinks and pharmaceutical industry
- Product monitoring (phase separation product/product mixture/water)
in the drinks industry, breweries and dairies
- Operation (e.g. phase separation detergent/rinsing water)
of cleaning processes
e.g. for bottle cleaning plants and tank cleaning
- Concentration control for acids and caustic solutions
e.g. in galvanisation and process chemistry
- Use in CIP plants
- Water and waste water technology, e.g. car wash and non-drinking water
monitoring
- Dosing of chemicals
- Leakage indication with separate circuits, e.g. for heating and cooling
plants

3.2 Temperature compensation (TC)
General The cell is fitted with a Pt100 temperature sensor for temperature measure-
ment and compensation. The conductivity of a liquid depends on its consist-
ency and temperature. Even if the consistency remains constant, the actual
conductivity will change with temperature. The temperature compensation (in
the following called TC) corrects the actual conductivity as measured to the in-
ternationally recognized 25°C reference temperature. Since the temperature
coefficient is medium-specific, it is necessary to set the correct temperature
coefficient on the instrument during commissioning. This temperature coeffi-
cient is valid for a specific consistency of a particular liquid.

Preparation Electrical connection (screw terminal J01):

h Connect the DC 24 V supply voltage
h Connect indicator unit or multimeter
with a range of 4 — 20 mA
(optionally integrated in instrument; extra codes 110 or 111).

Measurement medium:
h Immerse cell in vessel filled with the medium

H The clearance to all sides of the

vessel, as well as to the bottom,
must not be less than 5 mm, oth-
erwise the measurement will be
inaccurate. An even temperature
distribution is equally important.
The cell has to be kept still during
measurement.

 4 Fitting in position
4.1 Location
Basics The location should be easily accessible and free from vibration. The permitted
ambient temperature must be observed (taking into account possible heat
emission).
v Section 7.1 “Technical data”
The transmitter can best be fitted in position in a pipe of DN65 or larger by
means of a tee with an NW50 screwed pipe joint.

V
The installation has to be depressurised before assembly and dis-
assembly!
Depending on the application, any liquid that runs out may be cor-
rosive!
The instrument is not suitable for installation in areas with an ex-
plosion hazard!

Operating The operating position is generally unrestricted. However, it is essential to en-

position sure a continuous exchange of the measurement medium in the through-flow
channel ( 3 ).
The probe body ( 1 ) must be enveloped on all sides by the measurement me-
dium. The clearance ( 2 ) to the walls should not be less than 5mm, otherwise
the measurement could be falsified.

Example: Version “Varivent”

Vertical mounting Horizontal mounting

If possible, the inductive conductivity transmitter should be installed in pipes
with a vertical orientation, in order to avoid falsification of the measurements
through gas bubbles. Through-flow must be from the bottom to the top. It is
advisable to rotate the housing so that the electrical connections point down-
wards.
If the inductive conductivity transmitter is to be installed in horizontal pipes,
then it should be mounted from below to avoid gas bubbles which could falsify
the measurement.

General Ex-factory, the instrument is calibrated and maintenance-free. However, if any
measurement deviations from unknown causes occur, the transmitter can be
tested as follows.

setting.
