Important Notes
Usage for the intended purpose
Use conductivity electrodes LRG 16-40/LRG 17-40 only for measuring the electrical conductivity of liquid fluids.
For conductivity limiting or continuous boiler blowdown the conductivity electrodes LRG 16-40/ LRG 17-40 must only be used in conjunction with TDS controller LRR 1-40 and an operating terminal & display unit type URB or SPECTORcontrol.
To guarantee a trouble-free operation observe the requirements made on water quality as specified in the pertinent TRD and EN regulations.
Safety note
The equipment must only be installed and commissioned by qualified staff. Maintenance and service work must only be performed by adequately trained persons who have
a recognized level of competence.
Danger
When loosening the electrode steam or hot water might escape. This presents the danger of severe scalding. It is therefore essential not to remove or install the electrode unless the boiler pressure is verified to be zero.
The electrode is hot during operation. This presents the danger of severe burns to hands and arms. Installation and maintenance work should only be carried out when the system is cold.
PED (Pressure Equipment Directive)
The equipment fulfills the requirements of the Pressure Equipment Directive (PED) 97/23/EC. Applicable in fluids of group 1 and 2. With CE marking (apart from equipment according to section 3.3).
ATEX (Atmosphère Explosible)
According to the European Directive 94/9/EC the equipment must not be used in explosion-risk areas.

Description
The conductivity electrode LRG 1x-40 consists of a TDS (= Total Dissolved Solids) monitoring electrode for conductivity measurement, a temperature sensor for detecting the fluid temperature and a conduc­tivity transmitter that is fully integrated in the terminal box.
The equipment is of the two electrode type and works according to the conductometric measurement principle, measuring the electrical conductivity of electrically conductive fluids.
Together with the TDS controller LRR 1-40 and an operating device type URB or SPECTOR the conductivity electrode LRG 1x-40 can be used as conductivity limiter and continuous blowdown controller in steam boilers and (pressurized) hot water plants.
The data exchange between the conductivity electrode LRG 1x-40, the control and operating equip ment and other devices is effected by the CAN-Bus to ISO 11898, using the CANopen protocols.

Function
A measuring current of variable frequency flows through the fluid and creates a potential gradient between the measuring electrode and the measuring tube. The potential gradient is evaluated as measuring voltage UU.
The electrical conductivity is a function of temperature. To relate the measured values to a reference temperature the resistance thermometer integrated in the electrode measures the fluid temperature.
The electrical conductivity is calculated from the measuring voltages UU and UI and – through temperature compensation – is based on a reference temperature of 25 °C.
The electrical conductivity is a non-linear function of temperature. For the compensation of the measured values one of the following three procedures can be applied:
n Temperature compensation Auto: The conductivity electrode records the specific conductivity/
temperature curve of the respective fluid and based on the data obtained, performs the compen­sation.
The auto-curve temperature compensation is suitable for boilers operating with variable pressure, which means that the boiler does not have a fixed working pressure (e. g. low load 10 bar, full load 15 bar). The system detects in steps of 10°C all temperatures and conductivity values from 100 °C to the service temperature. For this purpose the boiler must reach its working pressure (with variable pressure operation: max. allowable working pressure). If the standard curve is not suitable for variable pressure operation, use can be made of the recorded curve.

n Temperature compensation NORM: The conductivity/temperature curves of 11 normally used
conditioning agents are stored in the electrode and can be selected.
The standard curve temperature compensation is suitable for boilers operating with variable pressure, which means that the boiler does not have a fixed working pressure (e.g. low load 10 bar, full load 15 bar). The standard curves of feedwater conditioning agents with different basic conductivities com pensate for the influence of the temperature on readings within the operating range.
n Temperature compensation LINEAR: A fixed temperature coefficient (Tk) is used to correct the
measured conductivity value linearly.
The gradient (default setting: 2.1 % / °C) is normally used for steam boilers operating with constant pressure. The conductivity is ascertained at an ambient temperature of 25°C. The cell constant can be modified in order to calibrate the value measured by the electrode. The gradient can be verified at operating pressure with the aid of a calibrated conductivity meter.
At regular intervals the conductivity electrode LRG 1x-40 sends a data telegram via CAN-bus to the controller with the following information:
n Measured conductivity value, referred to 25°C as actual value (X), n Measuring range / adaptation of actual value output, n Alarm: self-monitoring of electrode supply cables, n Alarm: temperature sensor defective, n Alarm: excessively high temperature in terminal box.
A short circuit in the cables leading to the measuring electrode, the measuring tube and the resistance thermometer or the interruption of the data transmission via CAN bus will be indicated by a malfunc­tion message.
A sensor monitors the temperature in the terminal box and indicates a malfunction if the limit value is exceeded.
