The 9950 is a multi-channel, multi-sensor transmitter designed to meet and exceed the
industry standards, and expectations for a small, compact, ¼” DIN transmitter. The power
and versatility of the 9950 allows the use of up to six GF sensors to manage complex water
treatment applications.
The 9950 analyzer supports all like sensors or a mix of any GF sensors. Sensor types and
accessories supported by the 9950 are GF Flow (frequency and/or digital S³L), pH/ORP,
Conductivity/Resistivity, Salinity, Temperature, Pressure, Level, Dissolved Oxygen and any
device that transmits a 4 to 20 mA signal when used with the single channel
3-8058 iGo® Signal Converter.
The 9950 base unit comes complete with two each 4 to 20 mA output, two additional dual 4
to 20 mA output modules can be installed to increase the number of 4 to 20 mA outputs to a
total of six outputs.
3-9950-10, -11
Four Conductivity sensor measurements are supported with either a single or dual channel
conductivity module. If six conductivity sensors are required, the use of a 3-2850-51-XX
can be added to the main S³L input terminals.

• The 9950-10/11 will support up to eight (8) relays, though only four actually fi t directly inside its compact ¼ DIN enclosure.
8059 External Relay Modules of four relays may be connected to the 9950 via digital (S³L) at the I/O Module (this does NOTconsume a sensor input channel).
• External relays are completely independent of internal relays, so it is not necessary to install an internal relay module into the
9950 to use the external relays. In the 9950 menus, external relays will always be identifi ed as Relays A, B, C, and D.
• Digital (S³L) pass-thru terminals on the 8059 can help to reduce sensor wiring congestion at the 9950.
See the 8059 instruction manual for details.
• External Relays mount on DIN rail inside a panel and can be tested remotely from the 9950, or locally with switches built-in for
convenience. They also include LED relay status indicators, but the status of these and all relays is available at all times in a
single screen in the 9950 View mode.
• Any and all relays are freely assignable to any channel. Hysteresis and time delay are adjustable for each relay.
• It is perfectly acceptable to mix and match relay types between internal and external modules.
However, NOTE: The 9950 only allows external relays to be used in modes Off, Low, Hi, Window, Total, and Error.
• 8059 External Relay Modules contain dry-contact relays only. These electromechanical switches are suitable for many generalpurpose applications, AC or DC, including AC loads up to 250 V.
• Switching active loads (most commonly inductive) can cause contact arcing suffi cient to damage relays. The RC Filter Kit or
“snubber” is available as an accessory to reduce or eliminate these damaging effects.

Fail-Safe Behavior
No matter the setting, the Open Collector output turns off if the 9950 looses power. This must be taken into account when
evaluating system failure consequences. If the system layout requires a "closed" or "on" condition for the output in case of power
loss, a mechanical dry-contact relay (NC contacts) must be used instead of the Open Collector (R1) output.
Set your relay functions to your own application requirements.
Once a setting is saved it becomes immediately active.

The 9950 relays are selectable and confi gurable and can be
used as switches that respond when the process value moves
above or below a user-defi ned setpoint or it can be used to
generate a pulse at a rate proportional to the process value.
They can be used for Low Alarm, High Alarm or Proportional
Pulse triggering related to the process value. All relay
functions are set up in the RELAY menus.
Low Setpoint:
Relay is on when the measured value is less than or equal
to the setpoint. Relay turns off when the measured value is
equal to or greater than the Low Setpoint + Hysteresis.
High Setpoint:
Relay is on when the measured value is greater than or equal to
the setpoint. The relay turns off when the measured value is less
than or equal to the High Setpoint - Hysteresis.
Proportional Pulse Operation:
The transmitter can output a pulse at the rate defi ned by the settings
in the CAL menu and the sensor input. The maximum pulse output
is 300 pulses per minute.
Example usage would be to control
solenoid-operated dosing pumps.
For example: As the process value rises above the setpoint, the
output will start pulsing in relation to the process value,
the maximum pulse endpoint and the programmed
pulses/minute. The pulse rate will change as the process value
changes and approaches the programmed endpoint. This
functionality can be used to precisely control the process.
The starting point, endpoint and maximum pulse rate are select able in the RELAY menus.
NOTE: Relay LEDs will fl ash in PULSE mode.
100 pulses
Window In/Out:
Relay is on when the value is equal to or higher or lower than
the high or low setpoint.
WINDow IN = relay on if measurement is inside the window
of two setpoints.
WINDow OUT = relay on if measurement is outside the
window of two setpoints.

In the example:
• The output will be 0 pulses/min. when value is less than 5.

Relay Modes
• Pulse Width Modulation
PWM automatically varies the ratio of ON time to OFF time
proportional to minimum and maximum range settings.
The relay period is the sum of the time a relay is ON and the
time it is OFF.
Relay pulse width is the time the relay is ON.
The 9950 must be programmed with the relay period, and with
the low and high setpoints.
NOTE: The PWM mode is not used for Pressure applications.
Relay LEDs will fl ash in PWM mode.

NOTE: The pulse width will be 100% of the relay period

maximum range.
• Totalizer Volume
Relay activates and latches when a specifi ed volume of fl uid is
registered on the resettable totalizer. For Flow inputs only.
Total Volume mode counts the TOTALIZER Units until the
setpoint volume is reached, then turns on the relay until the
resettable totalizer is reset.
If the Resettable Totalizer reading is greater than the setpoint,
the relay will be turned on immediately. The relay will be off
when the totalizer is below the set point or the resettable
totalizer is reset to zero.
This mode is useful to trigger a reminder when a process is
due, as for a backwash cycle or fi lter change.
Relay Mode - ERROR
Example:
• The pulse width will be 0% of the relay period
(relay always OFF) when the process value is
less than the minimum range.
• The pulse width will be 100% of the relay period
(relay always ON) when the process value is
greater than the maximum range.
• The pulse width will be 60% of the relay period when
the process value is at 60% of the span between the
minimum and maximum range.
• Volumetric Pulse
The relay will activate for the set pulse width once the specifi c
volume of fl uid is registered. Flow Inputs only.

When two of the same type of measurement (either primary or secondary) are present, the 9950 can calculate several derived functions
from like pairs of measurements. Set-up menu located in the Options menu, refer to page 59.
Up to four derived Functions can be defi ned and used as the source for a loop output or relay control.
Derived calculations can be viewed in the View Mode.
• Flow, Temperature, Pressure, Conductivity and Level measurements must have matching units.
(Flow channels must also have same time base).
• Conductivity channels will automatically scale to S/cm before the function calculation is made.
• Three types of derived measurements can be applied to any set of sensors, regardless of type.
• Custom labels can be assigned to Derived Functions for ease of identifi cation.
% Passage and % Reject
• % Passage and % Reject are derived functions based on
conductivity measurements only, specifi cally for use in reverse
osmosis systems.
• % Passage is the amount of contaminates remaining in the
product water compared to the level of contaminates in the feed
water. For example, if the feed water measures 375 S and the
product water measures 18.75 S, the % Passage is
(18.75/375) x 100= 5%
• % Reject is the amount of contaminates rejected to the
concentrate water compared to the amount of contaminates
in the feed water. For example, if the feed water measures
375 uS and the product water measures 18.75 uS the % reject is
[1-(18.75/375)] x 100 = 95%
• Decreasing Reject values and increasing Passage values
usually indicate a problem with the RO membrane.
% Passage: (Permeate ÷ Feed) x 100
% Reject: [1 - (Permeate ÷ Feed)] x 100
% Recovery
• % Recovery is a derived function based on fl ow rate, in a
reverse osmosis system.
• To measure % Recovery, the 9950 must have two fl ow
sensors connected. They may be located in the Feed line,
the Concentrate line or the Permeate line.
• The 9950 provides 3 different methods for calculating
Recovery to accommodate any confi guration.
• Both fl ow sensors must use the same time base and units
of measure.

Timer
When the TIMER relay source is selected, the time can be
selected using Period or Weekday modes. Both relay modes
work directly with the time settings and formats that are entered
at start up or adjusted in the options menu. The relay is normally
open until the specifi ed time is reached, at which time the relay
is closed, triggering the relay for a specifi ed duration. The "Hold
while" feature allows the user to hold the current loop output(s)
at the present value and deactivate relays that are associated
with the measurement channel(s) for the specifi ed recovery time.
• Period Mode lets the user set a periodic interval, in days,
hours or minutes, at which the relay will activate. A First
Start screen lets the user set the day and time for the Period
Mode to begin.
• Weekday Mode lets the user specifi c the days of the week,
Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, etc., at which the
relay will activate. A Start Time screen lets the user set the
time of day for the weekday activation. Weekday Mode does
not have a Start Delay parameter.
Caution:
If HOLD WHILE RELAY # ACTIVE setting is changed while an Activation or Recovery is in process, the
setting will be applied after the cycle is complete. To apply the change immediately, cycle power to the 9950.

Multiple
When the Relay Source is set to MULTIPLE, four Boolean logic formulas called "Relay Operators" are available.
Relay operators monitor three different input sources (sensor or binary input) based on the conditions set up by the end user
(HIGH or LOW conditions or binary input ON or OFF) to activate a relay.
The relay will only be activated when the complete formula is satisfi ed.
• A TRUE condition means that the sensor's condition is beyond the setpoint.
• A FALSE condition means that the sensor's condition is within the setpoint.
• If any one of the three conditions shows CHK SENSOR then that condition will be treated as always FALSE.
Example: Set Relay 1 Mode to A | B | C. "This relay will activate IF channel 1 pH falls below 6, OR if channel 2 pH rises above 7.8,
OR if binary input 1 is active (On or Closed). Relay #1 will activate 30 seconds after any one the conditions are met".
Condition A: The pH on Channel 1 is less than 6
Condition B: The pH on Channel 2 is greater than 7.8
Condition C: Binary Input 1 is On
On Delay: 30
When operating properly, all three of these conditions are FALSE. If any one of them becomes TRUE, then Relay 1 will be activated.
Relay 1 will remain activated until the TRUE condition becomes FALSE again, including the hysteresis band.
Relay source display allows operator to scroll thru relay 1 -4 on base unit and A-D on the external relay module.

Menu System
VIEW Mode Overview
The top level of screens are referred to as the VIEW Mode. This view displays measurement
values as well as current outputs, derived function values, and relay status. The horizontal bar
graph represents the primary measurement value that is also displayed in the numeric fi eld
above the bar graph. The bar graph is primarily used to display the full scale range of
the sensor, but can be scaled via the OPTION menu item.
During normal operation, the 9950 displays the VIEW mode.
• To select a display, press the or arrow keys.
The display selections scroll in a continuous loop.
• Changing the display selection does not interrupt system operations.
• No password is necessary to change display selection.
• Output settings cannot be edited from the View Mode.
• The display will return to the VIEW mode if no button is pressed for 10 minutes.
MENU Mode Overview
The MENU mode enables the user to view and confi gure all menu items.
The fi ve menus available are: CAL, INPUT, LOOP, RELAY, and OPTION.
Error Handling
Errors occurring while on the
measurement screens show a
specifi c message (e.g., Wrong
Sensor). This message will
fl ash and stays on for 3 seconds
and fl ash off. Once the error is
resolved or cleared, the error
message stops.

Averaging
NO AVERAGING, NO SENSITIVITY
With SENSITIVITY set to a large value and AVERAGING set
to OFF (0 seconds), the 9950 responds immediately to every
shift in the process. The dashed red line represents the actual
output of the sensor in varying conditions.
AVERAGING ONLY
With SENSITIVITY still set to a large value and AVERAGING
set to MED or HIGH the rate is stabilized, but a sharp change
in rate is not represented for 8 to 32 seconds or longer.
AVERAGING AND SENSITIVITY
With SENSITIVITY at 50 and AVERAGING set to MED or
HIGH, the rate is stabilized, while a sudden shift in fl ow rate
exceeding 50 units of measure will be displayed immediately.
NOTE: The SENSITIVITY function applies only to FLOW.
The SENSITIVITY function has no effect if the AVERAGING
function is set to OFF. Averaging will not function if the
Sensitivity is set to 0 (Zero).

LOG Current Loop Output
In Conductivity/Resistivity, the logarithmic (LOG) mode can be used when a very large measurement range is required,
yet high resolution is needed at the low end (e.g. in a clean-in-place application where a high-resolution conductivity
reading is needed at the low end, while a very high conductivity reading is needed when a cleaning cycle is in progress).
Only two parameters need to be set up, the starting or base conductivity value (4 mA SETPOINT) and the ending or
maximum conductivity value (20 mA SETPOINT). The 4 mA setpoint may be larger than the 20 mA point (reverse span).
What equation should be put in the PLC?
Conductivity = 10
n = (mA input – 4.0)
If only fi xed thresholds are required, they can be calculated in mA. Then the mA value can be checked directly.
Inside the 9950 the following equation is used:

NOTE:
If ADJUST 4 mA or ADJUST 20 mA is used, the mA value can be affected. To prevent any problems the adjust function
should only be used to get exactly 4.0 and 20.0 at the PLC. The 9950 is accurate and the adjust functions are only needed
to compensate for an offset due to noise or a not-so-accurate PLC input card.
The error value of either 3.6 mA or 22 mA should be tested fi rst before applying the conductivity equation.

USP Limits
USP (United States Pharmacopeia) has defi ned a set of conductivity values (limits)
to be used for pharmaceutical water. The standard requires that conductivity
measurement without temperature compensation be used for these applications.
The limits vary according to the temperature of the sample. The 9950 has the USP
limits stored in memory. It will automatically determine the proper USP limit based
on the measured temperature. Important Conductivity TEMP COMP must be set to
NONE and Unit Of Measure must be set to S.
Using the USP function
USP setpoints are defi ned as a percentage below the USP limit, so a USP alarm
is always a HIGH alarm. The 9950 can be set to warn you if the conductivity
approaches within a set percentage of the USP limit.
The following settings and conditions are required for a USP relay function:
1. In the RELAY menu:
• RELAY MODE must be set to USP.
2. In the INPUT menu:
• COND UNITS must be set to μS.
• TEMP COMP must be set to None.
Example:
• The water temperature is 19 ºC, so the USP limit is 1.0 S.
• The USP PERCENT is set to 40%.
• The relay will be activated when the conductivity value reaches 40% below the
1.0 USP limit, or 0.6 S.
• If the water temperature drifts to more than 20 ºC, the 9950 will automatically
adjust the USP limit to 1.1. The relay will now be activated when the
conductivity value reaches 40% below 1.1 S (0.66 S).

Modbus
The 9950 Modbus Module allows the 9950 to be connected to a serial Modbus RS485
network. The Modbus Module will allow for PLCs and Scada Systems to query the current

• Never wipe the front window with static retentive
cloths such as wool or polyester which may induce a static charge. If a static charge develops on the window, you may notice
temporary blotches form on the screen. When this occurs, clean the front window with an anti-static cloth, or a soft cotton cloth
and anti-static spray or a mild liquid soap solution to remove the static charge.
