Product overview

The module, when installed in an sc200 or a Polymetron 9500 controller, allows an analog sensor to

connect to the controller.

Installation

W A R N I N G

Multiple hazards. Only qualified personnel must conduct the tasks described in this section of the document.

N O T I C E

Measurement variations of approximately 8% occur at ~25 MHz and in the 600-700 MHz frequency band. These

deviations occur only with 1 kHz 80% carrier amplitude modulation, and although amplitude modulated signals in

this band are unlikely to occur at customer installations, user care in the routing of both probe cable and controller

power lines to avoid ambient field interference is necessary.

Connect the sensor to the module

W A R N I N G

Potential electrocution hazard. Always disconnect power to the controller when making electrical connections.

English 5

W A R N I N G

Electrocution hazard. High voltage wiring for the controller is conducted behind the high voltage barrier in the

controller enclosure. The barrier must remain in place except when installing modules, or when a qualified

installation technician is wiring for power, relays or analog and network cards.

N O T I C E

Potential instrument damage. Delicate internal electronic components can be damaged by static electricity,

resulting in degraded performance or eventual failure.

To install the module and connect the sensor, refer to the illustrated steps that follow and the wiring

table.

Be sure to connect all sensor ground/shield wires to the controller enclosure grounding screws.

Note: If the sensor cable is not long enough to reach the controller, an interconnect cable (model 150727,10000)

and junction box (model 08335=A=6000) should be used to extend the distance.

Configure user tables

Depending on the type of sensor and the type of measurement required, user-defined tables can be

selected during sensor configuration. The following explains how to configure a user-defined table.

Concentration tables

By default, this table contains only 2 points (P1 and P2) that define the minimum and maximum

limits. When P1 and P2 have been defined, additional points can be inserted between them. As an

example to define the minimum conductivity and concentration as zero, and the maximum

conductivity as 750 with a maximum concentration of 30. proceed as follows:

1. From the USER TABLE option select P1>EDIT POINT.

2. Enter the minimum conductivity (X) as 0.0 and push enter.

3. Enter the minimum concentration% (Y) as 0.0 and push enter.

4. Select SAVE CHANGES? and push enter.

5. From the USER TABLE option select P2>EDIT POINT.

6. Enter the maximum conductivity (X) as 750.0 and push enter.

7. Enter the maximum concentration% (Y) as 30.0 and push enter.

8. Select SAVE CHANGES? and push enter.

The following table has been defined:

Conductivity Concentration%

P1 0 0

P2 750 30

To insert an additional point with a conductivity of 250 and a concentration of 15, select the point with

a conductivity value immediately above the value to insert. In this example select P2. The new

conductivity value of 250 will then become P2 and the existing P2 will become P3 as follows:

English

11

1. From the USER TABLE option select P2>INSERT POINT.

2. Enter the conductivity (X) as 250.0 and push enter.

3. Enter the concentration% (Y) as 15.0 and push enter.

4. Select SAVE CHANGES? and push enter.

The table will now be defined as:

Conductivity Concentration%

P1 0 0

P2 250 15

P3 750 30

Additional points can be inserted up to a maximum of P10.

Note: The conductivity value taken into account is temperature compensated according to the temperature

compensation option configured.

Temperature tables

The process is the same as described for the concentration tables, but the X value refers to

temperature and the Y value is a factor used to multiply against the non-compensated conductivity

value to obtain a temperature compensated conductivity value.

For example, if the temperature table was configured as follows:

Temperature Value

P1 0 1

P2 20 1.1

P3 40 1.2

This can be displayed graphically as:

This shows that a temperature of 10° corresponds to a factor of 1.05. Therefore, a non-compensated

conductivity value of 10 mS/cm at 10° will give a temperature compensated value of 10.5 mS/cm (i.e.

10 mS/cm multiplied by a factor of 1.05).

Calibrate the sensor

About sensor calibration

The sensor characteristics slowly shift over time and cause the sensor to lose accuracy. The sensor

must be calibrated regularly to maintain accuracy. The calibration frequency varies with the

application and is best determined by experience.

12

English

Contacting conductivity sensors: Use air (zero calibration) and the process sample to define the

calibration curve. When the process sample is used, the reference value must be determined with a

certified secondary verification instrument.

Inductive conductivity sensors: Use air (zero calibration) and a reference solution or process

sample to define the calibration curve. A reference solution calibration is recommended for best

accuracy. When the process sample is used, the reference value must be determined with a certified

secondary verification instrument.

Calibration limits

A calibration will fail if the value is ± 10% of the target value.

Troubleshooting

Intermittent data

During calibration, data is not sent to the datalog which will result in the datalog having areas where

the data is intermittent.

Test the contacting conductivity sensor

1. Disconnect the sensor from the module.

2. Electrodes: Check the insulation between the two electrodes. There should be an infinite

resistance when the sensor is dry and exposed to air.

3. Pt100: Compare the resistance measured directly on the connector with the values below:

Temperature (°C) Resistance (Ω)

0 100.00

10 103.90

20 107.70

Test the inductive conductivity sensor

If there is a doubt concerning the operation of the sensor, disconnect it from the controller but leave it

in place in your sample process. Check the following resistance values across the terminals indicated

(refer also to the wiring table Table 1 on page 6):

Wiring connections Resistance

Terminals 7-10 (Temperature sensor Pt100) ≈ 110 Ω (at 25 °C)

Terminals 1-2 (Secondary coil) ≈ 1—2 Ω

Terminals 11-12 (Primary coil) ≈ 1—2 Ω

If the checks do not generate any erroneous resistance values, the sensor can be considered to be

working properly.

If the measurement is still not satisfactory proceed as follows:

1. Set T-COMPENSATION to NONE (see Inductive conductivity sensor configuration on page 10).

2. Perform a ZERO CALIBRATION of the sensor (see Zero calibration procedure on page 13).

3. Perform a RESISTOR CALIBRATION of the sensor (see Resistor calibration (inductive

conductivity sensors) on page 16).

4. Check the following:

Displayed conductivity (K = 2.35) Simulated resistance

470 μS/cm 5 kΩ

4.7 mS/cm 500 Ω

47 mS/cm 50 Ω

470 mS/cm 5 Ω
