Use conductivity transmitter system LRGT 16-1 only for monitoring electrical conductivity
in liquids.
The equipment has to be supplied with 24 V DC from a safety power supply unit (PSU) in
accordance with DIN VDE 0106 (safe supply isolation). The PSU must be equipped with
an overcurrent protective device according to DIN EN 61010-1/VDE 0411.
The transmitter system LRGT 16-1 must only be installed by qualified staff.
Qualified staff are those persons who - through adequate training in electrical engineering,
the use and application of safety equipment in accordance with regulations concerning
electrical safety systems, and first aid & accident prevention have achieved a recognised
level of competence appropriate to the installation and commissioning of this critical safety
device.
Danger
When loosening the conductivity transmitter system steam or hot water might escape. This
presents the danger of scalding. It is therefore essential not to dismantle the conductivity
transmitter system unless the boiler pressure is verified to be zero.

System Description
The LRGT 16-1 is a compact-design conductivity transmitter system consisting of a
conductivity electrode, a temperature sensor for detecting the fluid temperature and an
integrated conductivity transmitter. The equipment works according to the conductivity
measurement two-electrode control principle and provides a conductivity-dependent and
temperature compensated measuring current of 4 - 20 mA.
The conductivity transmitter system is designed to measure the electrical conductivity in
conductive fluids.
If the LRGT 16-1 is connected to the industrial controller type KS 90 the equipment can be
used as conductivity limiter and/or continuous blowdown controller in steam boilers,
(pressurised) hot-water boilers and condensate systems.

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 U
.
U
In order to compensate for polarisation, which would reduce the measuring current, the
measuring frequency is adapted accordingly. The resulting measuring current is sensed
and transmitted as measuring voltage U
.
I
The electrical conductivity changes as a function of temperature. The resistance
thermometer integrated in the electrode measures the fluid temperature and establishes a
reference temperature on which the measured values will be based.
The electrical conductivity is calculated from the measuring voltages UU and UI and depending on the adjusted temperature coefficient Tk - is based linearly on the reference
temperature 25 °C. After converting it into a conductivity-proportional current signal, a
current of 4 - 20 mA is provided for external processing.
The cables leading to the measuring electrode, the measuring tube and the resistance
thermometer are monitored for interruption and short circuits. In addition, the electronic
insert is protected against excessive temperatures in the terminal box. In case of a
malfunction the LEDs are permanently illuminated or flashing and the current signal is set
to 0 or 0.5 mA.
The transmitter is parameterised via code switch. The code switch can also be used for
adaptation of the cell constant and triggering a functional test.
The electrical conductivity is measured in µS/cm. In some countries use is also made of
ppm (parts per million). Conversion: 1 µS/cm = 0.5 ppm.
Installation
The conductivity transmitter system is designed such that it can be screwed directly into
boiler standpipes or suitably tapped flanges.
The electrode must be installed such that it is always submerged.
The installation in protection tubes is not permitted according to WÜ 100.
Ensure a minimum distance of approx. 20 mm between the lower part of the measuring
tube and the boiler wall, the smoke tubes, any other metal parts and the low water level
(LW).
Installation of the Measuring Electrode
1. Check seating surfaces of threads or flange provided on vessel or boiler standpipe.
2. Place ring joint onto the seating surface of the transmitter. Note: Use only ring joint (of
stainless steel 1.4301 E8P) D 33 x 39 to DIN 7603 supplied with the electrode.
3. Apply a light smear of silicone grease (e. g. DOW Corning 111 Compound) to electrode
thread.
4. Screw conductivity transmitter electrode into threads or flange provided on vessel or

Commissioning Procedure
Check wiring
1. Make sure that the conductivity transmitter system is wired in accordance with the
wiring diagram.
2. Check that the supply voltage corresponds to the name plate rating.
Set code switch
The transmitter is parameterised by means of a ten-pole code switch.
This code switch can also be used to adjust the cell constant and trigger off the functional
test.
The individual switch positions can be changed by using e. g. a ball pen.

During the commissioning procedure (when the supply voltage is applied) the first output

Check temperature coefficient Tk setting
For a linear compensation of the measured conductivity value based at 25 °C the
temperature coefficient Tk is set at our works to 2.1 % per °C. Once the service
temperature is reached you can check this setting by carrying out a comparison
measurement - e. g. as part of the commissioning procedure. If there is a deviation
between the indicated conductivity and the measured comparison value you can correct
the measurement result of the transmitter by adjusting a lower or higher temperature
coefficient. Continue modifying the Tk setting until the indicated conductivity value and
measured comparison value agree.

Adaptation of the cell constant
The cell constant adjusted at our factory is a characteristic geometric quantity of the
equipment and influences the calculation of conductivity. However, during operation this
constant can drift, e. g. due to dirt accumulated on the measuring electrode. If the
indicated conductivity value deviates from the measured comparative value you can
correct the measurement result of the transmitter by re-adjusting the cell constant.
Depending on the deviation set code switches 8 or 9 to ON, the cell constant will then
change continuously. Observe the conductivity indication and when the indicated value
agrees with the comparison measurement set the switch back to OFF. Should an
adjustment not be possible remove the transmitter and clean the measuring surface.
To restore the factory setting of the cell constant - e. g. after cleaning the measuring
surface - set code switches 8 and 9 simultaneously to ON. After approx. 1 sec. switch back
to OFF. The factory setting is restored.

Application as conductivity transmitter and continuous blowdown
controller
Use conductivity transmitter system for conductivity limiting (TDS and continuous
blowdown control) in steam boilers only in conjunction with industrial controller KS 90.
The following describes the configuration and adjustment of the controller KS 90 when
used for conductivity (TDS) limiting and continuous boiler blowdown control.
Note:
The installation manual for the industrial controller KS 90 supplied with the equipment
must also be taken into consideration!

Wiring
Keep mains cables separate from signal and measuring cables. We recommend twisted
and screened measuring cables (screen connected to earth).
Connected final elements must be equipped with protective circuits to manufacturer
specification. This avoids voltage peaks which can cause trouble to the
controller.
The instruments must be protected by an individual or common fuse for a max. power
consumption of 10 VA per unit (standard fuse ratings, min. 1.0 A).
Signal and measurement circuits may carry max. 50 V r.m.s. against ground, mains
circuits may carry max. 250 V r.m.s. between terminals.
After switching on mains (1), the controller is initialised (Test, Con1, Con2), then turns into
the #OPERATING LEVEL 1 and controls the process. The controller is
matched to the control task at the # PARAMETER LEVEL 2 and to the process at
the #CONFIGURATION LEVEL 3. The level transfer is done with the key . To exit the
operating level, S.I.L. switch LOCK must be open (factory setting). Exit from the parameter
level is via timeout (30 s), too. After keying completely through the configuration level,
transfer is into operating level (2 configuration not changed) or into initialisation
(3 configuration has been changed).

If the equipment is used for conductivity limiting purposes set the limit contact low(LCL1) to the predefined max. electrical conductivity value. When this limit is exceeded the
green LED for Alarm 1 lights up and relay output 3 opens the burner protection circuit. The
adjusted limit value can be retrieved at any time on the parameter level. Relay output 3
does not interlock automatically. The interlocking function must hence be implemented in
the follow-up circuit (burner protection circuit), which has to comply with the requirements
of DIN VDE 0116.
