1 INTRODUCTION
This conductivity analyzer has been designed for continuous
monitoring and control of conductivity. It is available in wall-/
pipe-mount or panel-mount versions and can be used with
either one or two sensors, each with a temperature input
channel. When used with two sensors, readings can be
compared to produce a range of extrapolated values.
When making temperature compensated measurements, the
sample temperature is sensed by a resistance thermometer
(Pt100 or Pt1000) mounted in the measuring cell.
Analyzer operation and programming are performed using five
tactile membrane keys on the front panel. Programmed
functions are protected from unauthorized alteration by a five-
digit security code.

…6 INSTALLATION

6.3 Connections, General

Warning. The power supply earth (ground) must be connected to ensure safety to personnel, reduction of the effects of
RFI interference and correct operation of the power supply interference filter.

Caution. The metal braid in the conductivity cell connecting cable must not be earthed, or allowed to touch earthed
components, and must be cut back to the insulation at the conductivity cell end.

Information.
• Earthing (grounding) – stud terminal(s) is fitted to the analyzer case for bus-bar earth (ground) connection – see Fig. 6.8 (wall-
/pipe-mount analyzers) or Fig. 6.10 (panel-mount analyzers).
• Cable lengths – the integral cable may be extended using a suitable junction box, but the total cable length must not exceed
50m (137.5 ft) for cells with a constant of <0.1 or 100m (275 ft) for cells with a constant of 0.1.
• Cable routing – always route signal output/conductivity cell cable leads and mains-carrying/relay cables separately, ideally
in earthed metal conduit. Use twisted pair output leads or screened cable with the screen connected to the case earth stud.
Ensure that the cables enter the analyzer through the glands nearest the appropriate screw terminals and are short and direct.
Do not tuck excess cable into the terminal compartment.
• Cable glands & conduit fittings – ensure that the NEMA4X/IP66 rating is not compromised when using cable glands, conduit
fittings and blanking plugs/bungs (M20 holes). The M20 glands accept cable of between 5 and 9mm (0.2 and 0.35 in.) diameter.
• Relays –the relay contacts are voltage-free and must be appropriately connected in series with the power supply and the
alarm/control device which they are to actuate. Ensure that the contact rating is not exceeded. Refer also to Section 6.3.1 for
relay contact protection details when the relays are to be used for switching loads.
• Analog output – Do not exceed the maximum load specification for the selected analog output range.
Since the analog output is isolated, the –ve terminal must be connected to earth (ground) if connecting to the isolated input
of another device.

 6 INSTALLATION…

…6.3 Connections, General

6.3.1 Relay Contact Protection and Interference Suppression – Fig. 6.6

If the relays are used to switch loads on and off, the relay contacts can become eroded due to arcing. Arcing also generates radio
frequency interference (RFI) which can result in analyzer malfunctions and incorrect readings. To minimize the effects of RFI, arc
suppression components are required; resistor/capacitor networks for a.c. applications or diodes for d.c. applications. These
components can be connected either across the load or directly across the relay contacts. The RFI components must be fitted to the
relay terminal block along with the supply and load wires – see Fig 6.6.
For AC applications the value of the resistor/capacitor network depends on the load current and inductance that is switched. Initially,
fit a 100R/0.022µF RC suppressor unit (part no. B9303) as shown in Fig. 6.6A. If the analyzer malfunctions (locks up, display goes
blank, resets etc.) the value of the RC network is too low for suppression and an alternative value must be used. If the correct value
cannot be obtained, contact the manufacturer of the switched device for details on the RC unit required.
For DC applications fit a diode as shown in Fig. 6.6B. For general applications use an IN5406 type (600V peak inverse voltage at 3A
– part no. B7363).

✶ Note. For reliable switching the minimum voltage must be greater than 12V and the minimum current greater than 100mA.

7 CALIBRATION
✶ Notes.
• The analyzer is calibrated by the Company prior to dispatch and routine recalibration is not necessary. High stability
components are used in the analyzer's input circuitry and, once calibrated, the Analog to Digital converter chip self-
compensates for zero and span drift. It is therefore unlikely that the calibration will change over time. It is not advisable to
attempt recalibration unless the input board has been replaced or the calibration tampered with.
• Prior to attempting recalibration, test the analyzer's accuracy using suitably calibrated test equipment – see Sections 7.2 and
7.3.

7.1 Equipment Required

a) Decade resistance box (conductivity cell input simulator): 0 to 10k (in incr ements of 0.1 ), accuracy ±0.1%.
b) Decade resistance box (Pt100/Pt1000 temperature input simulator): 0 to 1k (in incr ements of 0.01 ), accuracy ±0.1%.
c) Digital milliammeter (current output measurement): 0 to 20mA.

✶ Note. Resistance boxes have an inherent residual resistance which may range from a few m up to 1 . This value must
be taken into account when simulating input levels, as should the overall tolerance of the resistors within the boxes.

7.2 Preparation
a) Switch off the supply and disconnect the conductivity cell(s), temperature compensator(s) and current output(s) from the
analyzer's terminal blocks.
b) Sensor A:
1) Link terminals B9 and B10.
2) Link terminal B12 to the Case Earth Stud – see Fig. 6.8.
3) Connect the 0 to 10k decade r esistance box to terminals B13 and B14 to simulate the conductivity cell. Connect the decade
box earth to the Case Earth Stud.
4) Connect the 0 to 1k decade r esistance box to terminals B11 and B9 to simulate the Pt100/Pt1000.

Sensor B (dual input conductivity only):

1) Link terminals B1 and B2.
2) Link terminal B4 to the Case Earth Stud – see Fig. 6.8.

(µS cm –1 ) and TDS in p.p.m.) is totally dependent on the

(ultra pure water with slight impurity) properties of the solution being measured.
In simple solutions where only one electrolyte is present, the
conductivity/TDS ratio can easily be ascertained, e.g. 0.5 in the
Fig. A.1 Ultra-pure Water Temperature Compensation case of sodium chloride. However, in complex solutions where
more than one electrolyte is present, the ratio is not easily
calculated and can only be reliably determined by laboratory
testing (e.g. precipitation and weighing). The ratio in these cases
is found to vary between approximately 0.4 and 0.8, depending
on the chemical constituents, and is constant only when the
chemical ratios remain constant throughout a particular
process.
In cases where the TDS factor cannot be determined easily, refer
to the supplier of the particular chemical treatment being used.

…APPENDIX A

A3 Inferred pH Derived from

Differential Conductivity
Where cation resin columns are used to remove the effects on
the conductivity measurement of alkaline and hydrazine
chemical treatment on boilers, it is common practice to measure
both before- (specific conductivity) and after-cation conductivity.
The sensitivity of the conductivity measurement to chemical
contaminants resulting from condenser leaks or poor boiler-feed
make-up water is increased by passing the sample through the
cation column. Both measurements can be made on one dual
conductivity input analyzer.
If it is known that a sample contains only one impurity, e.g.
ammonia, the conductivity measurement now becomes an
indication of the concentration of that impurity. It is now possible
to calculate the pH of the sample from the concentration data
and the result is referred to as 'inferred pH'.
It is stressed that the inferred pH value is valid only if there are no
other impurities present. To ensure this, the chemist looks at the
after-cation conductivity (which is a sensitive method of
detecting impurities in the sample) and only after establishing
that it is low is the inferred pH value validated.
The dual input conductivity analyzer, when used to monitor
direct and after-cation conductivities on a sample, automatically
calculates the inferred pH for the most commonly used pH
correction chemicals when programmed to do so. The user-
configurable after-cation conductivity alarm is used to detect
other impurities in the sample and can thus inform the user of the
validity of the inferred pH value.
The maximum after-cation conductivity value is programmable
between 0.060 and 1.000µS cm–1 dependent on local
conditions. Values above this level generate an AFTER CAT.
HIGH alarm and before-cation conductivity above 10.000µS
cm–1 generates a BEFORE CAT. HIGH alarm.

✶ Note. Both conductivity inputs must be configured

as µS cm–1 in order to calculate inferred pH.

The inferred pH feature can be used only in the following

circumstances:
a) On steam raising plant.
b) For boiler chemical treatment such as ammonia, sodium
hydroxide, and/or hydrazine. For this application, either NH3
or NaOH temperature compensation must be selected – see
Section 7.3.

✶ Note. Inferred pH measurement is inappropriate

to chemical treatments such as phosphate, morpholine
and quinhydrone.

c) Where the after-cation conductivity value is an

insignificant value to the before-cation value, or is greater
than 1.0µS cm–1.
