II. GENERAL INTRODUCTION
The Cole-Parmer CON 550 (Conductivity and Temperature) System, is a rugged
microprocessor based instrument assembled in a watertight ¼ DIN case,
designed for use in laboratories and process control applications.
The model CON 550 microprocessor allows the user to easily recalibrate the
parameters for the probes. The Conductivity system requires only a single
calibration. The microprocessor also performs a self-diagnostic routine every time
you turn on the unit providing you with basic information about the stability of the
instrument.
The system simultaneously displays Conductivity, Temperature, relay status and
mA output in one LCD graphic screen. This system uses a two-wire or four-wire
type sensor for the conductivity and a precise thermistor for temperature,
providing you with accurate readings for all your measurements.
The model CON 550 is equipped with two relays: two programmable High/Low
control relays for conductivity/TDS. All relays are hysteresis driven and
configurable to CENTER mode. The system also have two isolated 4-20mA
analog output, offset and span configurable for Conductivity/TDS & temperature
display.
The model CON 550 comes with a RS485 interface which can easily let the user
log all data with an IBM

C. REAR CONNECTORS
Before wiring the probes, relays, analog output, RS485 and the power cord, be
sure that you are connecting to the right terminal as shown above (be sure the
ac-plug is not plugged-in). Remember that the unit is ON once the user plugs in
the power cord to an AC power supply.
1. Connect the AC line to the rear of the instrument. The model can be used with
115 or 230 VAC 50/60 Hz. Power consumption is 6 watts. Make sure the
EARTH connector is connected to the earth lead of the AC power line.
2. Connect the proper load to the output relays. Make sure that the load does not exceed the relay rating, 5 Amp at 115 VAC and 2.5 Amp at 230 VAC.
3. Set the proper load to the 4-20mA output connector. Make sure that the load
impedance is less than 500 Ohms.
4. If the user uses a two-wire conductivity probe, the user needs to short terminal
D1 with terminal S1 and terminal D2 with terminal S2.
CAUTION: Make sure you connect the AC power cord to the correct AC
terminals. Connecting incorrectly may damage the unit permanently.
7
Page 9
D. TURNING ON/OFF THE INSTRUMENT
By just plugging the unit to a correct AC
voltage, the unit will be ready for use.
There is no Power key so unplugging
and plugging the unit will turn OFF or
turn ON the unit respectively.
After the unit is turned on, it will perform
some basic self diagnostics and will
display “OK” or “BAD”. If you received
any “BAD” messages, turn OFF the unit
and turn it ON again. (see VIII. ERROR
DISPLAYS AND
TROUBLESHOOTING ).
If the message persists, then you might need to call our Applications Specialists.
After the self-diagnostic is complete, the temperature will be displayed on the
lowest part of the screen and you are ready to make conductivity or TDS
measurements. Just immerse the probes halfway to the liquid. If possible do not
allow the probes to touch any solid object in the solution. There should be no air
bubbles around the probes either. Shaking or moving the probes vigorously
before recording any measurement will dislodge any bubbles formed in the
probes.
PROBE HANDLING AND MAINTENANCE
REMINDER: If the user uses a two-wire conductivity probe, the user needs to
short terminal D1 with terminal S1 and terminal D2 with terminal S2.
Handling the probe
To ensure accurate and repeatable results:
1. The probe (cell) must be clean before making any measurements. If measuring
low conductivity solutions, extraordinary cleanliness may be necessary.
2. The probe cell plates must be totally submerged in the solution. The electrode
chamber must be free of trapped air or particulates. You may need to tap the
probe gently to dislodge any air bubbles.
3. Ideally, the probe should be at least 1/4 inch away from any object, including
the sides and bottom of the container.
8
Page 10
4. Stirring may be necessary for high accuracy readings.
5. If possible, isolate the solution container from ground potentials.
6. Electrical fields and stray currents caused by stirrer motors, heaters, etc., can
interfere with the measurements. The user should determine the effects of these
and make the necessary corrections either by shielding or by disconnecting those
units that cause trouble.
7. Always rinse the cell carefully before using it in another solution.
8. Never store a dirty or contaminated probe.
Storing the probe
1. Always rinse the probe thoroughly with de-ionized or clean tap water to remove
contaminants before storing it.
2. For short-term storage it is recommended to immerse the probe in deionized
water to keep the plates wet. For long-term storage, after rinsing the probe
thoroughly, the exterior body should be wiped dry before storing it.
IV. MODEL CON 550 MODES
A. MAIN DISPLAY MODE
Turning ON the unit will always display
Conductivity in normal mode.
This instrument is designed to provide 3
distinct measurements:
1. Temperature - current temperature
of the solution.
2. Compensated Conductivity –
conductivity reading adjusted to a
calculated value which would have
been read if the sample had been at the user reference temperature.
The conductivity of solutions of ionic species is highly dependent on temperature,
varying as much as 3% for each change of 1°C (Temperature Coefficient (TC) =
a
9
Page 11
3%/°C). In addition, the temperature coefficient itself varies with the nature of the
ionic species present.
Because the exact composition of a natural media is usually not known, it is best
to report conductivity at a particular temperature, e.g. 10.2 mS at 15°C. How ever
in many cases, it is also useful to compensate for the temperature dependence in
order to determine at a glance if gross changes are occurring in the ionic content
of the medium over time. For this reason, the model CON 550 allows the user to
output conductivity in either raw or compensated form. If the User Temperature
Coefficient (TC) is set to 0.00% then an uncompensated Conductivity is output to
the screen. If the TC is not zero then the Model CON 550 uses the temperature,
TC, raw Conductivity and the reference temperature to display the compensated
Conductivity.
The calculation is carried out as in the equation below:
Compensated Conductivity = Conductivity/(1+TC*(T- RT))
Where: TC = Temperature Coefficient
T= Solution temperature
RT= Reference Temperature
Note:
The TDS is based on the specific conductance reading of the solution, setting the
TC to 0.00% will change the reading of conductivity to uncompensated
conductivity.
3. Total Dissolved Solid (TDS) –The calculation is carried out as in the equation
below:
TDS = Compensated Conductivity * (TDS Factor)
TDS – is an approximation of the total weight of all solids that are dissolved in a
volume of water. This is expressed in ppt (parts per thousand) also referred as
g/L(gram per liter) or ppm (parts per million) also referred as mg/L (milligram per
liter).
* In general, the total dissolved solids concentration is the sum of the cations
(+charged) and anions (-charged) ions in the solution. The TDS reading provides
a qualitative measure of the amount of dissolved ions, but does not tell us the
nature or ion relationships.
10
Page 12
Temperature and Conductivity (or TDS) are always simultaneously displayed in
the graphic LCD screen in normal mode. You can select conductivity or TDS
reading by pressing the [MODE/-] key in normal mode.
B. CALIBRATION/SETTING MODE
Pressing the [CAL/VIEW] key for about 2 seconds during normal display mode
will bring-up the first page of 6 pages of the Calibration/Setting mode. Pressing
[CAL/VIEW] key will switch to the next page until the last page, where pressing
[CAL/VIEW] again will return the user to main display mode.
Below is a simple flowchart showing the path of the [CAL/VIEW] key:
1. You can change any blinking options or digit by pressing the [] or [] keys.
2. For options in digit format you need to press the [MODE/--] key to move to the
next digit.
11
Page 13
3. If you are satisfied with the selection you made you need to press the []
ENTER key to save the changes and move to the next option.
4. If you don’t need to change the current blinking option just press the []
ENTER key to move to the next parameter.
5. If you need to go back to the previous parameter press the [MODE/-] key for
2 sec.
a. PASSWORD CHECK page
You will only see this page if the unit is
password locked. To change any
settings or calibration you need to
unlock the system to remove the
“PASSWORD LOCKED” message.
You need to enter the correct 4-digit
number on the “ENTER PASSWORD”
input. You can still view all the pages
of Calibration/Setting mode if the
system is password locked by just
pressing the [CAL/VIEW] key on this
page. If the unit is “PASSWORD
LOCKED” going to Calibration/Setting mode will not affect the function of the
relays.
CAUTION: If the unit is not locked then every time the user enters the
Calibration/Setting mode the relays and analog out will be frozen.
b. USER SETTING page
You will only see this page if the unit is
not password locked. This page is just a
warning, telling you that all relays are
frozen, and that you can calibrate and
change the settings.
NOTE: FROZEN MEANS ALL THE
RELAYS AND THE
ANALOG OUT WILL MAINTAIN THEIR
LAST STATE UNTIL THE USER
RETURNS TO MAIN DISPLAY MODE.

c. CONDUCTIVITY ( & TDS) CALIBRATION page
1. BASE CELL K – this is the basic
probe cell constant. You can choose
0.01, 0.10, 1.00 or 10.0. Be careful in
changing this option since it will set
the actual cell constant to this value
and you mustcalibrate the cell
constant before you can accurately
use the unit.
2. RANGE – for every basic cell constant you can choose 3 different ranges for
conductivity and an additional 3 ranges if you want your relay controls to be in
TDS. Whichever you choose you can still view the reading in TDS or conductivity
but the relay control will always be what you choose here. Choosing mS or uS
range will let the conductivity readings trigger the relays set point, choosing
ppt/ppm will let the TDS readings trigger the relays. Conductivity and TDS have
the same range limit except for the units displayed.
3. REF. TEMP. – if the Temperature Coefficient (TC) is not zero, then the model
CON 500 will use the value here to calculate and display the compensated
conductivity or TDS. The display will be the value as if the temperature is the
Reference Temperature. The normal reference temperature is between 15 to
25°C but you can actually select between 10 to 29°C in this option.
4. TEMP. COEFF. – this will be used by conductivity or TDS if you want your
display to be compensated. Setting this option to 0.00% will disable
compensation. You can select between 0.00% to 4.99%.
5. TDS FACTOR– TDS Factor, this value is multiplied with the conductivity to get
the TDS value. The user can directly adjust this value from 0.300 to 0.999.
6. C@25°C - if the user is calibrating the Cell Constant, the user must enter the
conductivity value of the standard solution at 25°C.
Before calibration remember to do the following:
1. Use properly stored standard solutions and a clean calibration container.
13
Page 15
2. Rinse the probe with de-ionized or distilled water (wipe dry) before using in
standard solutions.
3. After immersing into the solution, let the reading stabilize for about 1 minute
and shake the probe lightly to remove any air bubbles.
4. If possible and to minimize errors, perform the calibration as close as possible
to the selected reference temperature.
Accurate Calibration of the Model CON 550
1. Clean the probe thoroughly.
2. Wait for about 30 minutes after you turned on the instrument to stabilize the
circuitry before calibrating the probe.
3. Choose a calibration solution which most similar to the sample being
measured.
a. For seawater select 50 mS conductivity standard.
b. For fresh water select 1 mS conductivity standard.
c. For brackish water select 10 mS conductivity standard.
4. Select the correct base cell constant for the probe.
5. Select the correct range for the standard solution.
6. Input the temperature coefficient of the standard solution. Most standard salt
calibration solution has a TC between1.91% to 2.00%. If the TC is not
available, use the default of 2.00%.
7. During calibration, the user reference temperature is disregarded. The
reference temperature is fixed at 25°C since this temperature is the most
popular reference temperature for all if not most standard solutions.
8. Immerse the probe into the solution. Do not let the probe touch any part of the
container and allow at least 1 minute so the temperature reading will stabilize.
9. Shake the probe lightly to remove air bubbles from the probe.
10. Wait for the conductivity reading to be stable.
14
Page 16
11. Press the [ENTER] key to capture the stable reading and freeze the reading.
The model CON550 will blink at the first digit to tell the user that he/she can
now input the standard solution value.
12. Input the standard solution value by using the []

Before reading the sample (unknown solution):
1. Clean the probe thoroughly.
2. Move to CONDUCTIVITY CALIBRATION page.
3. Set the RANGE to the approximate range of the solution.
4. If you want a compensated reading, input the most similar Temperature
Coefficient of the sample or use the default of 2.00%. Set the Temperature
Coefficient to 0.00% if you want just the raw uncompensated conductivity.
5. If the TC is not 0.00% you need to select a reference temperature or set it to
the default of 25°C.
6. Move the display to the normal mode.
7. Immerse the probe into the solution. Do not let the probe touch any part of
the container and allow at least 1 minute so the temperature reading will
stabilize.
8. Shake the probe lightly to remove air bubbles from the probe.
