Instruction Manual

αlpha CON 2000

1 INTRODUCTION

1.1At the very beginning

We thank you for having purchased the Eutech Instruments αlpha CON 2000.

The construction of the αlpha CON 2000 employs leading edge technology and complies with safety regulations currently in force. Notwithstanding this, improper use could lead to hazards for the user or a third-party, and/or adverse effects on the plant or other equipment. Therefore, the operating instructions must be read and understood by the persons involved before work is started with the αlpha CON 2000.

Eutech Instruments do not accept any liability for damage that may arise from neglecting information given in this manual.

This instruction manual identifies safety instructions and additional information by means of the following symbols:

This symbol draws attention to safety instructions and warnings of potential danger which, if neglected, could result in injury to persons and/or damage to property.

This symbol identifies additional information and instructions which, if neglected, could lead to inefficient operation and possible loss of production.

The instruction manual must always be stored close at hand, in a place accessible to all people working with the αlpha CON 2000 .

If you have questions, which are not or insufficiently answered in this instruction manual, please contact your Eutech Instruments supplier. He will be glad to assist you.

1.2Intended use

Eutech Instruments αlpha CON 2000 is intended solely for conductivity and temperature measurement, as described in this instruction manual.

Any other use, or use not mentioned here, that is incompatible with the technical specifications is deemed inappropriate. The operator is solely responsible for any damage arising from such use.

Other prerequisites for appropriate use include:

observing the instructions, notes and requirements set out in this instruction manual.

observing all local safety regulations concerning safety at work.

observing all information and warnings in the documentation dealing with the products used together with the transmitter (housings, sensors, etc.).

observing the prescribed environmental and operational conditions.

Instruction Manual

αlpha CON 2000

1.3Safety intsructions

The αlpha CON 2000 should be installed and operated only by personnel familiar with the transmitter and who are qualified for such work.

A defective transmitter must neither be installed nor put into service.

The αlpha CON 2000 must only be operated under the specified operating conditions (see section 8).

The αlpha CON 2000 must not be repaired by the customer.

The αlpha CON 2000 must only be opened to replace the unit fuse or to set the jumper for Pt100/Pt1000 temperature sensor. This work must be carried out only by personnel familiar with the transmitter and who are qualified for such work. Make sure the mains cable is separated from the power supply before opening the unit.

No modifications to the αlpha CON 2000 are allowed. The manufacturer/supplier accepts no responsibility for damage caused by unauthorised modifications. The risk is borne entirely by the user.

1.4Putting out of service / Correct disposal of the unit

Putting out of service

First disconnect the unit from the mains, then undo all electrical connections.

Remove the unit from the wall / panel.

Correct disposal of the unit

When the transmitter is finally taken out of service, observe the local environmental regulations for correct disposal or send the transmitter to your local Eutech Instruments distributor, they will take care of proper disposal.

2 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

2.1Description of unit

The Eutech Instruments αlpha CON 2000 is used for measuring conductivity and temperature values. The conductivity values can be measured using limit or P/PI control. The transmitter is available in two versions, one for panel mounting and one for wall mounting in a enclosure. The transmitter can be used for applications such as water treatment and monitoring, galvanic-decontamination, chemical processing, food processing, clean or wastewater control and neutralisation processes.

This transmitter has many user-friendly and safety features which include:

Menu-driven program that simplifies set-up.

Built-in non-volatile memory to ensure that calibration and other information are not erased if power supply fails.

Push-button for calibration and sensor offset adjustment from the keypad.

Automatic temperature compensation (ATC).

Manual temperature compensation setting without the ATC probe, with independent setting for calibration and process temperature.

Two galvanically isolated current outputs 0/4...20mA.

0 to 2000 seconds time delay adjustment on all relays – minimises false alarms.

Separately adjustable high and low set-point hysteresis (dead bands) prevent chattering of relays around the set points.

Three control modes: limit controller, P controller and PI controller (P/PI controller as pulse length or pulse frequency).

Large dual display LCD for easy reading with clear multiple annunciators, alarm status, operational and error messages.

Two switching contacts as set-point relays.

Separate alarm relay alerting you to set point limits exceeded for a certain time and if the Pt100/Pt1000 wires are broken or disconnected during the ATC function.

Wash relay.

Hold function to freeze output current (0/4...20mA) and release control relays.

LED indicators signal control activities to visually monitor transmitter status from a distance.

Protection against electromagnetic interference. ( Available for panel mount only)

Back lit and UV light protected LC display.

2.2Measurement and control system

A typical measurement system consists of:

A conductivity process transmitter

A conductivity sensor with integrated or separate temperature sensor Pt100/Pt1000.

An appropriate measurement cable

An immersion, flow or process assembly

A final control element such as pump or valve

A chart recorder

IMPORTANT: The Alarm relay functions as an “Active Low” device i.e. it switches OFF under Alarm condition. Therefore the Alarm display device should be connected to the ‘NC’ contacts of the relay (10 & 11).

** When using 2 Cell type Conductivity electrode, terminal 15 should be shorted to terminal 16 and terminal 18 should be shorted to terminal 17.
