The 8900 Multi-Parameter Controller takes the concept of modularity to the extreme. Two base units, one with back-lit LCD and the
other with vacuum fl uorescent display can be confi gured by the user in the fi eld.
Ultimate fl exibility is achieved via plug-in modules for two, four or six input channels, universal AC line voltage or 12 to 24 VDC power,
up to four analog outputs, and up to four relays. The controller will support up to four additional relays, for a total of eight, by way of
external relay modules.
Absolute input versatility allows mixing and matching of up to six sensors with digital (S
channels may be used for Signet fl ow sensors with frequency output. The 8058 Signal Converter module enables any 4 to 20 mA signal
to be used as input to the 8900.
2.1 Compatibility
Model numbers of sensors and external relays compatible with the 8900 are identifi ed in the tables below.
• For two channel systems, mix and match up to two of any of these sensors.
• For four channel systems, mix and match up to four sensors with digital (S
3
• For Six channel systems, mix and match up to six sensors with digital (S3L) output.
• The optional external relays connect via digital (S3L) to the I/O Module, but do NOT consume a sensor input channel.
• pH and conductivity sensors include temperature sensors. These "secondary" measurements are treated by the 8900 as separate
sensors with respect to display, output and relay functionality, but they do NOT consume separate input channels.

This section lists all items included with individual 8900 system components, describes installation detail for plug-in modules and base
units, and provides information and instruction on the basic functionality of the plug-in modules.
3.1 Unpacking
Base units, plug-in modules, accessories and spare parts are sold, packaged and shipped separately from the factory. Unpack all
components carefully. The following items accompany every 8900 base unit:
• 8900 Base Unit (back-lit LCD or Vacuum Fluorescent display)
• Front Face Panel Gasket (pre-installed on base unit)
• Quick-clip panel mounting bracket
• Adhesive Template for panel cutout
• Instruction Manual, Paper copy – English
• CD-ROM containing instruction manuals in English, French, German, Spanish, Italian and Portuguese
For future reference, for each installation, it is recommended to record the part number and serial number of each of the
components listed here:
Facility Tag Number or System ID (user assigned):_______________________
Base unit 3-8900- _______ S/N___________________
I/O Module 3-8900.401-____ S/N___________________
Power Module 3-8900.402-____ S/N___________________
• ¼-DIN punch or jigsaw suitable for cutting panel opening to within 1 mm (0.020 in.) tolerance.
4. Plug-in Modules
• If the 8900 Base Unit will be mounted in a panel, plug-in modules may be installed either before or after the base unit is mounted.
If the 8900 Base Unit will be mounted using the accessory Wall Mount Bracket, fi rst install plug-in modules.
• Plug-in modules are packaged in anti-static bags and contain individual instruction sheets and removable terminals for convenient
wiring. Minimize handling of plug-in modules to reduce the probability of damage due to static discharge.
• Power Modules include adhesive labels to be applied to the outside of the 8900 enclosure in specifi c locations as illustrated in section 4.2.
• The rear panel of the 8900 must be removed prior to installing or removing plug-in modules.
If plug-in modules are already installed, the terminals must be removed prior to removing the rear
panel. It may be helpful to use a standard screwdriver to gently pry removable terminals away
from the receptacle on the plug-in modules.
• Use a Philips screwdriver to loosen the two captive screws at the bottom of the panel. Pinch one
of the screws and swing the panel up approximately 90°, using the tab hinge at the top of the
panel, and pull it straight away from the base unit. Reverse this step to reinstall the panel after
the plug-in modules are installed.
• Remove terminals from the receptacle of each plug-in module prior to installation.
• Use diagonal cutters to remove slot shields from the rear panel for optional plug-in modules as required.
Only remove shields for slots to be used (UL safety requirement).
• Smooth any protruding edges with a fi le.
• Reinstall the rear panel; it will hold the modules securely in place.

• Optional analog Outputs 1 & 2 are obtained via the I/O Module, but are not
required to be installed in order to use the optional analog output modules
listed immediately above.
• The analog outputs obtained via these separate modules will always be
identifi ed as Outputs 3 & 4 in the 8900 menus. The slot on the rear panel is
labeled accordingly.
• It is perfectly acceptable to mix and match analog output types between those
contained on the I/O Module and those obtained via these separate modules.
• Any and all analog outputs are freely assignable to any channel.
• All analog outputs available from the 8900 are isolated.
• Passive outputs throttle current in loops powered by a supply external to the

3-8050.396 RC Filter Kit
• Up to two sets of two relays may be installed directly into the 8900. The modules are
completely independent of one another, so it is not necessary for Relays 1 & 2 to be
installed in order to use Relays 3 & 4.
• However, in accordance with the labeling on the rear panel, relays installed directly
into the 8900 via these plug-in modules will always be identifi ed in the 8900 menus as
Relays 1 & 2 and 3 & 4, respectively.
• The red LED relay status indicators on the front panel of the 8900 are hardwired to
Relays 1 & 2. If the slot for Relays 1 & 2 is vacant, the red LEDs will be inoperative.
Status of all relays is available at all times in a single screen in View mode.
• It is perfectly acceptable to mix and match the relay types installed directly in the 8900,
as well as between internal and external modules.
• Any and all relays are freely assignable to any channel. Hysteresis
and time delay are adjustable for each relay.
Power Connection
• Dry-contact relays are electromechanical switches with a moving
contact armature. They are suitable for many general-purpose
applications, AC or DC, including AC loads up to 250 V.
• Solid-state relays are electronic switches with no moving parts. They
may be used with AC or DC loads, but have lower current handling

capability and voltage ratings than Dry-contact relays. Solid-state
relays will outlast Dry-contact relays in pulsing applications.
• Switching active loads (most commonly inductive) can cause contact
arcing suffi cient to damage both types of relays. The RC Filter Kit or
"snubber" is available as an accessory to reduce or eliminate these

/
DIN enclosure. 8059 External Relay Modules of either two
(this does NOT consume a sensor input channel).
• External relays are completely independent of internal relays, so it is not
necessary for Relays 1 & 2 or 3 & 4 to be installed in order to use the external
relays. In the 8900 menus, external relays will always be identifi ed as Relays A,
B, C and D.
• 8059 versions with power supply are powered by universal AC line voltage
and may be used to power the 8900 with 24 VDC. Also, digital (S
3L)
pass-thru
terminals on the 8059 can help to reduce sensor wiring congestion at the 8900.
See the 8059 instruction manual for details.
• External Relays mount on DIN rail inside a panel and can be tested remotely
from the 8900, 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 8900 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 8900 only allows external relays to be
used in modes Off, Low, Hi, Window, USP and Advanced.
• 8059 External Relay Modules contain dry-contact relays only. These
electromechanical switches are suitable for many general-purpose 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.

The 8900 may be mounted in a panel, on a wall, or on virtually
any surface including shelves, racks and pipes. All methods of
mounting the 8900 make use of the Signet Quick-clip for holding
the instrument securely in place. This unique clip eliminates the
hassle of locating and drilling holes for mounting screws.
If the 8900 will be mounted in a panel, plug-in modules may be
installed either before or after the base unit is mounted. If an
accessory Wall Mount Bracket will be used, fi rst install plug-in
modules.
5.1 Panel Mounting
• The 8900 enclosure conforms to the ¼-DIN standard, which
requires a panel opening of 92 mm x 92 mm (3.6 x 3.6 in.).
• ¼-DIN punches are available and recommended for creating
clean, precise openings quickly and easily in most instrument
panels.
• Alternatively, a jigsaw or other cutting tool may be used.
An adhesive template is provided to help guide the cutting
process.
• Recommended minimum clearance on all sides between
instruments and panel edges is 25 mm (1 in.) as illustrated.
• Use an appropriate fi le as necessary to shape and size the
opening, and to remove burrs.
• Two panel adapter accessories are available for installing the
8900 into panels with existing cutouts larger than the 1/
standard.
To install 8900 in a panel:
1. Slide the 8900 into the opening from the front of the panel.
Ensure the Front Face Panel Gasket is properly seated
against the panel and around the instrument case.
2. Slide the Quick-clip mounting bracket over the back of the
instrument as illustrated. The Quick-clips will snap into
engagement with the molded latches on the side of the
instrument. Press the bracket against the inside of the panel
to secure the instrument fi rmly in place.
• To remove, press the Quick-clips outward while pulling
the bracket away from the instrument panel. DO NOT
ALLOW THE INSTRUMENT TO FALL FORWARD OUT
OF THE PANEL OPENING! It may be necessary/helpful to
temporarily secure the instrument from the front with tape,
etc.

All wiring connections to the 8900 are made via the removable terminals of the plug-in modules. This section contains instructions and
diagrams for wiring each type of module. Several helpful tables, explanations and recommendations are also provided. In general:
• Do not allow any AC leads that may be connected to the Power Module, or to optional internal relays, to come in contact with low
voltage wiring.
• Terminals accept 12 to 24 AWG wire.
• Strip 10 to 12 mm (0.4 to 0.5 in.) of insulation from wire tips and tin bare ends to eliminate fraying.
• Use ferrules when connecting more than one wire to a single terminal.
• Insert wire tip or ferrule completely into the terminal and secure with the screw.
• The I/O Module provides the terminals for sensor inputs, optional external relays, and optional Analog Outputs 1 & 2.
• These modules (3-8900.401-X) support frequency and digital (S
digital (S3L) and connect to the I/O Module just as if they were digital (S3L) sensors. External relays do NOT consume a sensor
input channel.
• Refer to Section 6.4: Output Module for wiring optional Analog Outputs 1 & 2.
6.1 Signal Type: Frequency
The maximum allowable cable length for fl ow sensors with frequency output is dependent upon the output signal strength of the
sensors themselves, and the degree to which the signals are susceptible to EMI or "noise". This is largely a function of whether the
sensors are self-powered, or powered by an external source.
All of the sensors in the table below are compatible with the 8900. The three models limited to 60 m (200 ft) are self-powered sensors.
The 8900 automatically provides power to the others via the I/O Module (normal sensor wiring).
These maximum recommended cable lengths apply to individual sensors and are completely independent of one another. Additionally,
these cable lengths have no relevance to any digital (S3L) devices that may also be connected to the I/O Module.
3
L) sensor input signal types. External relays are controlled via
The 8900 accepts one or two frequency inputs. Each input will occupy one channel.
The frequency input connected to terminals 1-2-3 will be identifi ed in the 8900 menu as "Freq. in 1."
The frequency input connected to terminals 4-5-6 will be identifi ed in the 8900 menu as "Freq. in 2."
12
Signet 8900 Multi-Parameter
Page 13
6.2 Digital (S3L) Input wiring
• The maximum cable length of the digital (S
3
L) bus varies depending on the types of sensors connected and the size of the
conductors in the cable. For best results, determine the maximum cable length for the system before routing cables.
• Frequency input signals from fl ow sensors are not part of the digital bus, so they do not impact the cabling calculations. Follow the
maximum cable specifi cations published in the fl ow sensor literature.
3
• The digital (S
L) bus can be connected to two sets of terminals on the 8900. Divide digital (S3L) sensors between the two points to
stay within the limits defi ned here.
• There are several methods that can help route the digital cables and remain within the distance limitations. The following pages
provide general wiring concepts for different systems.
* 2551 Magmeter and the 8900
The 2551 Magmeter may require up to 15 mA per unit under some conditions. Special attention must be paid to power requirements
when more than three 2551 Magmeters are connected to the 8900.
To ensure that Magmeters receive suffi cient power, Signet recommends minimizing other power requirements in the 8900 by doing at
least ONE of the following: • Select solid state relay cards instead of dry contact relays.
• Select Passive analog output cards instead of Active.
• Select the DC power supply card instead of the AC card.
Any one of these measures will insure that the 8900 has suffi cient power available to support up to six 2551 Magmeters.
How to Wire Digital (S3L) Sensors
1. Tie all red wires together.
2. Tie all white wires together.
3. Tie all black wires together.
4. Tie cable shield to white GND wire at one end only for added protection from noise interference.
Notes:
• Some installations may require connecting the cable shield to Earth ground to overcome noise interference.
• Terminals 4-7 may be used as Freq Input 2 or as digital (S3L) Input 2, but not both.
• For best EMI fi ltering, divide digital sensors between S3L Input 1 and S3L Input 2 if Input 2 is not required for Frequency input.
• Daisy-chain or multi-drop wiring for digital (S3L) devices will reduce the number of separate digital signal lines that must be
connected to the 8900 I/O Module.
• Ferrules are recommended when connecting multiple digital (S3L) devices to a single set of terminals.
• In a "Daisy-Chain" pattern, the wires from each sensor are spliced to the matching wire of the adjacent sensor.
• In a "Multi-Drop" pattern, the wires from each sensor are spliced to a common set of wires from the 8900.
• Wiring methods can be mixed in any convenient design when connecting digital (S3L) devices. See the wiring charts on the
following pages for a variety of wiring options.
• The specifi c type of sensors on a branch of the digital (S3L) bus determine the current requirements, and the maximum cable
length for the branch. See section 6.2.1 for details.

6.2.1 Digital Cable Length Calculations
Step 1: Calculate the Total current requirements for digital (S3L) Branches
This information will determine the total current consumption of all digital (S3L) sensors on a branch of the digital (S3L) bus, as a
means of determining if the sensor load is within the current rating of the cable.
Fill in the chart to determine the current requirements for a specifi c set of sensors.

Maximum Current Consumption for Digital S
L Devices
Current Quantity Total Example:
2350 Temperature Sensor 1 mA X = none
2450 Pressure Sensor 1 mA X = 2 Press 1 mA x 2 = 2 mA
2551 Magmeter* 15 mA X = 2 Mags 15 mA x 2=30 mA
2750 pH/ORP Sensor Electronics 3 mA X = 2 pH 3 mA x 2 = 6 mA
2850 Cond. Sensor Electronics 2 mA X = none
8058 Current-S3L Converter 3 mA X = none
8059 External Relay Module** 1 mA X = none
3
Total current requirement on digital (S
L) bus mA Total 38 mA
** The digital (S3L) communication link between the 8900 and the 8059 is powered by the 8900 and consumes 1 mA maximum.
However, the 8059 External Relay Module always requires a separate power source for its operation.
Step 2 Determine the Maximum length of each branch of the digital (S3L) Bus
This chart determines the maximum length of one branch of the digital (S3L) bus. This distance is important because it ensures that
the digital signal can successfully travel the length of the cable and still be detected by the 8900.
• Find the column nearest to the total current in this branch, as determined in step 1.
• Find the cable gauge or wire dimensions that most accurately represent the cable being used.
• The number at the intersection of these factors represents the maximum cable for one branch of the digital (S3L) bus.
• The top section references AWG cables, the lower section is based on METRIC cables.
• Dividing the sensors between two branches will greatly increase the maximum cable length of each branch.
Example: 40 mA total on one branch can sustain 70 ft of cable. 20 mA on two branches can sustain 140 ft on each branch.
Maximum Cable (AWG)
Power Supply Current (mA)
AWG Ω/ft 1 2 4 10 15 20 40 60 90
Step 3 Determine the Maximum total cable length of the digital (S3L) Bus
The quality of the cable used in the bus determines the maximum length of all branches combined. The maximum cable length may
not exceed these limits, regardless of current requirements.

8. System Setup Menu
All of the basic system setup functions are automated in the 8900, with the exception of Channel Type assignments. These must be
done by the user. After Channel types are assigned, the 8900 will automatically complete all of the remaining tasks in the System
Setup menu. This includes assigning each sensor connected to the 8900 to a matching channel, and confi guring one display for each
channel. After installation and wiring is completed, follow the steps below.
NOTE: Automatic Sensor Recognition occurs each time the 8900 is powered on. See the following page for additional information.
8.1 System Setup: Channel Type
Example: Set Channel 1 to operate as a Flow Channel:
1. Start from View Mode (normal operation). In a new unit, the View display depends on the type of I/O module.
2. Hold the ENTER key for 2 seconds. When the display shows "Menu Directory-System Setup", release, then press ENTER again.
3. Press the RIGHT key, then enter the password. (Factory standard setting is UP-UP-UP-DOWN, Enhanced is 0-0-0-0)
4. The channel type will be fl ashing "None". Press the DOWN key three times to scroll to "Flow".
5. Press the ENTER key to select Flow. The display will show two warning messages, then ask "Are You Sure?"
Press the RIGHT key to change the fl ashing response to "Yes", then press the ENTER key to fi nalize the change.
6. The display will show "Saving" for a few seconds, then return to the root menu.
Press the DOWN key to scroll to the next channel type setting, then repeat steps 4 and 5.
7. If all settings in this menu are complete, press the UP and DOWN keys together again to return to the Menu Directory.
8. Press the UP and DOWN keys together once more to return to the View mode and normal operation.
The display will now show the information from the sensor assigned to Channel 1.

for new sensors and to verify that all sensors are detected on the digital (S
8.3 Automatic Channel Assignment:
After a channel type is assigned (section 8.1), the 8900 compares the sensor identifi cation list with each channel type and assigns a
sensor to each channel, following a specifi c heirarchy:
1. All Channels: Native sensors (sensors of the same measurement type as the channel type) will be assigned fi rst.
If multiple sensors of the same type are listed, the lowest serial number will be assigned fi rst.Frequency inputs are considered the native type for fl ow channels.
2. All Channels: 4 to 20 mA sensors (from 8058 Signal Converter) will be assigned only if no native sensors are listed.
If no compatible sensors are listed for a channel, or if all compatible sensors are already assigned, then no automatic channel
assignment will be made.
3. Flow Channels: Digital (S
Level Channels: If no level sensors are listed, a pressure sensor will be assigned to the level channel.
Manual override option: Use the "Channel ID" function to reassign sensors.
• The Channel ID menu will only list sensors that match the channel type being assigned.
• Removing a sensor from the wiring bus does NOT erase a channel assignment. The display will show "CHK SENSOR" for that
channel until a sensor is manually reassigned.
8.4 Automatic Display Confi gurations
• A new display will be automatically confi gured for each channel (only where one of the six confi gurable displays has both lines set
to "None".)
• Conductivity, Level and pH channels are allotted two-line displays to view both primary and secondary measurements. All other
channel types are assigned a single-line display.
• Standard displays for each channel type are illustrated below.
Manual override option: Confi gurable VIEW displays can be modifi ed with the "Screen--Line--" functions in System Setup menu.

The 8900 offers a wide selection of relay operating modes that enable the user to create complex control scenarios.
Internal relays (those installed on the two Relay modules) can be confi gured for all of the available modes.
External relays that are located in the 8059 External Relay module are limited to the basic relay modes as shown in the chart.
Maximum Proportional Pulse rate: 400 pulses per minute
Low
• Relay is activated when the process variable is less than the setpoint.
• The relay is deactivated when the process variable becomes greater than the sum of
the setpoint and the hysteresis.
High
• Relay is activated when process variable is greater than the setpoint.
• The relay is deactivated when the process variable becomes less than the sum of
the setpoint and the hysteresis.
Window
• In Window mode, a single relay is activated when the process variable moves above
or below a fi xed window of values.
• The relay is deactivated when the process variable moves inside the window by
more than the hysteresis value.

Process value
• Proportional Pulse mode varies the frequency of pulses in direct
proportion to minimum and maximum setpoints.
• The 8900 does not allow use of this mode for Pressure applications.
Example:
• The output will be 0 pulses/min. at process values less than 5.0.
• The output will be 50 pulses/min. when the process value is 7.5.
• The output will be 100 pulses/min. at process values above 10.
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 8900 must be programmed with the relay period, and with
the low and high setpoints.
• The 8900 does not allow use of this mode for Pressure
applications.
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
• A pulse is generated each time a specifi ed volume of fl uid is
registered. For fl ow inputs only.
Totalizer Volume
• Relay activates and latches when a specifi ed volume of fl uid
is registered. For fl ow inputs only.
• Total Volume mode counts the TOTALIZER Units until the
setpoint volume is reached, then activates the relay until the
resettable totalizer is reset.
• If the Resettable Totalizer reading is greater than the
setpoint, the relay will be activated immediately. The relay
will be relaxed when the 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.
Advanced
• Relay is activated when a set of three conditions (a, b and c)
are met. See detailed explanation in Section 11.2.

11.2 Multiple Relay Sources and Advanced Relay Mode
When a Relay Source is set to "MULTIPLE" and the Relay Mode is set to "Advanced", the relay can be activated by up to three different
conditions. ADVANCED mode presents four Boolean logic formulae called "Relay Operators." Each Operator can be programmed with
up to three different conditions. The relay will only be activated when the complete formula is satisfi ed.
• A TRUE condition means that the parameter is beyond the setpoint.
• A FALSE condition means that the parameter is within the setpoint.
• If any one of the three conditions shows "CHK SENSOR" then that condition will be treated as always FALSE.
Boolean Relay Logic Operations
(a l b l c) means
"Activate this relay when either
a OR b OR c is true."
(a l (b & c) ) means
"Activate this relay if a is true
OR if b AND c are both true."
Program a Relay for Advanced Operation
Example: Set Relay #1 to activate IF pH3 falls below 5, OR if pH4 rises above 8.5, OR if Level L6 rises above 18 inches. Relay #1 will
activate 30 seconds after any one the conditions are met.
Condition a: The pH on Channel 3 is less than 5.
Condition b: The pH on Channel 4 is greater than 8.5
Condition c: The Level on Channel 6 is greater than 18.
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.

• Conductivity channels will automatically scale to μS/cm before the function calculation is made.
• Three derived measurements can be applied to any set of sensors, regardless of type.
• Ratio: Measurement 1 ÷ Measurement 2
• Difference: Measurement 1 - Measurement 2
• Sum: Measurement 1 + Measurement 2
% Passage and % Reject
• % Passage and % Reject are derived from 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 100 μS
and the product water measures 5 μS, the % Passage is
(5 ÷ 100) x 100, or 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 % Passage is 5%, the
% Reject is 95%.
• Decreasing Reject values and increasing Passage values
usually indicate a problem with the RO membrane.
% Recovery
• % Recovery is a derived measurement based on fl ow rate
only. In a reverse osmosis system, % Recovery is fl ow rate
in the permeate (product) compared to the fl ow rate of the
incoming feed water.
• To measure % Recovery, the 8900 must have two fl ow
sensors connected. They may be located in the Feed line,
the Concentrate line or the Permeate line.
• The 8900 provides 3 different methods for calculating
Recovery to accomodate any confi guration.
• Both fl ow sensors must use the same timebase and units of
measure.
% Passage: (Permeate ÷ Feed) x 100
% Reject: [1 - (Permeate ÷ Feed)] x 100
% Recovery B: Permeate ÷ (Permeate + Concentrate) x 100
In the Setup menu, select the option that represents

If you select Custom Shape in the Options menu, you can defi ne
from 2 to 20 Custom Points to establish the relationship of level to
volume in the vessel.
• Select Manual level Measurement mode to edit both level and
volume data (dry confi guration).
• Select Automatic level Measurement mode to accept the
sensor measurement of the Level, while you assign a
volumetric value to each custom point (wet confi guration).
• Enter from 2 to 20 custom points to link level and volume
values.
• The fi rst custom point must be the lowest fl uid level in the
vessel.
• Each successive point must be greater than the preceding
point.
• The last point must be equal to or greater than the highest
fl uid level in the vessel.
• A custom point should be located at all transition points in
the vessel shape (for example, at custom point #9, where the
shape changes from a cylinder to a cone).
• The more complex sections should be defi ned with more
points. Notice that the conical section of the illustration has
been defi ned by custom points 1 through 9.
• Simpler sections require fewer defi ning points. Note that the
cylinder requires only custom points 9 and 10.
Technical Reference for Level measurement

Appendix C: Conductivity/Resistivity Application
Temperature Effects
Conductivity measurement is highly dependent on temperature.
The basic rule is that higher temperatures result in greater
conductance (less resistance).
Temperature effects are expressed as the percentage of
conductivity change (in μS) per °C. The conductivity value is
generally referenced to 25 ºC. The 8900 has three temperature
compensation options:
None
USP standards for pharmaceutical waters require that the
measurement be made without temperature compensation.
USP limits are discussed in Appendix D.
Pure Water (Standard Compensation)
This selection is used for measurements of very clean water,
less than 0.2 μS. Temperature effects are not linear in this
range, so the temperature coeffi cient is not easily determined.
This selection is recommended for all Resistivity applications
measuring from 5 MΩ to 18 MΩ. This selection conforms to
ASTM standard D1125 and D5391.
Linear
This selection allows you to calculate a custom temperature
compensation value for Conductivity measurements in the range
of 0.2 μS and greater (Resistivity applications measuring less
than 5 MΩ). The procedure is outlined in the section on the right.
Calculating a Linear Temperature Coeffi cient
1. Set TC Mode to NONE (see SETUP menu).
2. Heat a sample solution close to the maximum process
temperature. Place sensor in the sample solution and
allow several minutes for stabilization. Record the 8900
temperature and conductivity values in the spaces provided:
Displayed temperature: T1 = _______ °C
Displayed conductivity: C1 = _______ μS
3. Cool the sample solution close to the minimum process
temperature. Place sensor in the sample solution allowing
several minutes for stabilization. Record displayed
temperature and conductivity values in the spaces provided:
Displayed temperature: T2 = _______ °C
Displayed conductivity: C2 = _______ μS
(A 10% change in conductivity between steps 2 and 3 is
recommended.)
4. Substitute recorded readings (steps 2 and 3) into the following
formula:
TDS Factor
Some industries need to display a conductivity value as Total
Dissolved Solids (TDS), measured in units of parts per million
(PPM) or parts per billion (PPB).
• 1 PPM is equivalent to 1 mg per liter.
• 1 PPB is equivalent to 1 μg per liter.
• The 8900 calculates PPM or PPB by dividing the μS value by
a TDS Factor that you defi ne.
• TDS factors can vary widely, ranging from 1.50 to 2.50 μS
per PPM. Methods for establishing a TDS factor are beyond
the scope of this manual.
• The 8900 will accept TDS factor values from 0.01 to 99999.9
TC Slope = 100 x (C1 - C2)
(C2 x (T1 - 25)) - (C1 x (T2 - 25))
Example: A sample solution has a conductivity of 205 μS @
48 °C. After cooling the solution, the conductivity was measured
at 150 μS @ 23 °C. (C1 = 205, T1 = 48, C2 = 150, T2 = 23)
The TC is calculated as follows:
TC Slope = 100 x (205 - 150) = 5500 = 1.42%/°C
(150 x (48 - 25)) - (205 x (23 - 25)) 3860
Conductivity Calibration Procedure
Wet Calibration with NIST Traceable Solutions:
• When using NIST traceable standards, review the
temperature information provided with the test solution.
• Prevent contamination of the test solution.
• The sensor must be at the temperature specifi ed on the test
solution label.
• Remove the sensor from the system and rinse in a small
amount of test solution.
• Place the sensor into the test solution. Gently stir/shake the
electrode to dislodge any air bubbles on the electrode.
• Place a reference thermometer into the same solution.
• Allow suffi cient time for the temperature to stabilize.
• Set Temp: Adjust the temperature value based on the
reference thermometer.
• Set Cond: Adjust the conductivity value based on the test
solution value.
• Verify the linearity of the 8900 by placing the sensor into a
second test solution of a different value.
• If the 8900 does not display the correct value (Temperature ±
0.5 ºC, Conductivity ± 2% of reading), service is required.
43 Signet 8900 Multi-Parameter
Page 44
Appendix D: USP Limits
USP (United States Pharmacopoeia) 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 8900 has the USP limits stored in memory. It will automatically determine the proper USP limit
based on the measured temperature.
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 8900 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 Setup menu:
• RELAY MODE must be set to USP.
• RELAY SOURCE must be a Conductivity channel
• SOURCE UNITS must be set to μS.
2. In the OPTIONS menu:
• The TC Mode of the USP channel must be set to None.
(If a relay is constantly on when it should be off, check relay settings listed above.)
Example:
• The USP setpoint is 40%.
• The water temperature is 19 ºC, so the USP limit is 1.0 μS.
• The relay will be activated when the conductivity value reaches 0.6 μS, or 40% below the 1.0 USP limit.
• If the water temperature drifts to more than 20 ºC, the 8900 will automatically adjust the USP limit to 1.1.
• The relay will now be activated when the conductivity value reaches 40% below 1.1 μS, or 0.66 μS.
When the temperature range is: The USP limit (μS) is:
0 ºC to < 5 ºC0.6 μS
5 ºC to < 10 ºC0.8 μS
10 ºC to < 15 ºC0.9 μS
15 ºC to < 20 ºC1.0 μS
20 ºC to < 25 ºC1.1 μS
25 ºC to < 30 ºC1.3 μS
30 ºC to < 35 ºC1.4 μS
35 ºC to < 40 ºC1.5 μS
40 ºC to < 45 ºC1.7 μS
45 ºC to < 50 ºC1.8 μS
50 ºC to < 55 ºC1.9 μS
55 ºC to < 60 ºC2.1 μS
