Important Notes

Safety Note

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

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

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 boiler standpipe and tighten with a 41 mm open-end spanner. The torque required when cold is 150 Nm. The tapped hole must conform to DIN 3852 part 2, 1" BSP (DIN ISO 228) form X or Y, standard version. The subsequent hole must have a diameter of > 24 mm.

Reducing length of installation and measuring length (control range)

The measuring tube and the electrode can be cut to suit the individual requirements of the installation.

1. Carefully determine the required reduction of length - measured from the bottom end of the measuring tube - and mark this on the measuring tube.

2. Only slacken locking grub screw using a screwdriver size 1.3 for socket-head cap screws.

3. Unscrew measuring tube and cut it to the length marked.

4. Unscrew spacer disc.

5. Mark the reduction of length - measured from the extreme end of the tip - on the electrode tip.

6. Cut electrode tip to length. Cut back 10 - 12 mm of the insulation.

7. Screw back the spacer disc onto the electrode tip and fasten fingertight with a 12 mm open end spanner.

8. Screw back measuring tube with a torque of 50 Nm and tighten locking grub screw.

Attention

! The seating surfaces and threads on the vessel and mounting flanges must be

accurately machined.

! Do not bend the electrode tip when cutting. Do not subject electrode to physical

shocks.

! Do not lag the electrode body.

! The conductivity transmitter system can be installed horizontally or with a vertical

inclination. The measuring surface must be permanently submerged.
