1 Intended use
The GLMU 200 MP is a transmitter for measuring conductivity or other units based on conductivity measuring in liquids.
The measurement is performed by means of alternating current flow between the poles of the measurement
cell, being in direct contact with the liquid.
The measurement is displayed via analogue standard signal output and a liquid crystal display.
The 4-20 mA model is supplied only by the current loop, the 0-.. V model required a separate power supply.
The configuration of the various parameters has to be checked prior to use.
2 General Advice
Read through this document attentively and make yourself familiar to the operation of the device before you
use it. Keep this document in a ready-to-hand way in order to be able to look up in the case of doubt.
3 Safety Requirements
This device has been designed and tested in accordance with the safety regulations for electronic devices.
However, its trouble-free operation and reliability cannot be guaranteed unless the standard safety measures
and special safety advises given in this manual will be adhered to when using the device.
1. Trouble-free operation and reliability of the device can only be guaranteed if the device is not subjected to
any other climatic conditions than those stated under "Specification".
If the device is transported from a cold to a warm environment condensation may cause in a failure of the
function. In such a case make sure the device temperature has adjusted to the ambient temperature before trying a new start-up.
2. General instructions and safety regulations for electric, light and heavy current plants, including domestic
safety regulations (e.g. VDE), have to be observed.
3. If device is to be connected to other devices (e.g. via PC) the circuitry has to be designed most carefully.
Internal connection in third party devices (e.g. connection GND and earth) may result in not-permissible
voltages impairing or destroying the device or another device connected.
4. If there is a risk whatsoever involved in running it, the device has to be switched off immediately and to be
marked accordingly to avoid re-starting.
Operator safety may be a risk if:
- there is visible damage to the device
- the device is not working as specified
- the device has been stored under unsuitable conditions for a longer time
In case of doubt, please return device to manufacturer for repair or maintenance.
5. Warning:
Do not use these products as safety or emergency stop devices, or in any other application where failure of
the product could result in personal injury or material damage. Failure to comply with these instructions
could result in death or serious injury and material damage.

6 Installation
Dimensions
General elbow-type plug installation instructions
To mount the connection cable (2-, or 3-wire depending on type of
device) the elbow-type plug screw has to be loosened and the coupling insert has to be removed by means of a screw driver at the
position indicated (arrow).
Pull out connection cable through glanding and connect to the
loose coupling insert as described in the wiring diagram.
Replace loose coupling insert onto the pins at the transmitter housing and turn cover cap with cable outlet in the direction desired untill
it snaps on (4 different starting positions at 90° intervals).
Re-tighten the screw at the angle plug.

6.3 Usage of Unit-Labels
As the transmitter is a multiple purpose device, many different display units are possible, e.g. µS/cm, kOhm·cm.
Therefore unit-labels (within scope of supply) can be shoved between the case cover
and the front foil behind the transparent unit-window.
To replace a label, unscrew the cover, pull out the old label (if present) and shove in the
new one.
The unit depends on the settings of the Cell-constant, the function and the measuring range!

7 Operation
7.1 General information about the conductivity measuring
7.1.1 The measuring cell
During the measurement, the conductivity measuring cell must be dipped at least in so far, that at least
30 mm beginning from the top of the measuring cell, is located in the medium.
The maximum immersion depth for continuous operation should not exceed 110 mm.
The measuring cell can either be stored dry or in water. After dry storage wetting time will be prolonged
slightly. If changing over from one liquid to another with conductivity varying widely make sure to properly
rinse the measuring cell with deionised water.
Attention: Measuring cell must never come into contact with water-repellent materials such as oil
or silicone.
If conductivity measured is much higher or lower than expected this may be due to the measuring being
soiled with non-conducting or conducting extraneous materials. The measuring cell has to be cleaned e.g.
with a watery soap solution.
When measuring media at low conductivity the measuring cell has to be stirred sufficiently.
7.1.2 Measuring hints
Conductivity measuring is comparably easy to perform, the precision of the instrument is very constant if it is
used as intended. Depending on the necessary accuracy the instruments can be used up to several years
without re-calibration of the cell constant.
If the accuracy should be controlled or improved, this is done by means of suitable reference solutions and
the adjusting of the cell factor.
Attention! Wrong handling of reference solution can make them useless very fast.
Measuring procedure:
Especially when measuring low conductivity: Before immersion to the measuring solution, rinse the measuring cell with deionised water.
The measuring is speeded up considerably, if the measuring cell is immersed and pulled out the solution
several times. Especially when measuring low conductivity the measuring cell needs sufficient flow during the
measuring, e.g. via stirring the solution.
Sufficient time has to be waited for, until the measuring cell has adjusted to the measuring solution temperature.
7.1.3 Temperature compensation
The conductivity of aqueous solution is temperature dependent. The dependency itself is strongly dependent
on the kind of solution. For the most applications e.g. in fish farming etc., the non linear temperature compensation of natural waters is precise (“nLF” according to EN 27888). The most common reference temperature is 25 °C.
7.1.4 .Salinity measuring
The salinity (salt content) of seawater can be determined in the measuring mode „SAL“ (basis: International
Oceanographic Tables; IOT)
The salinity of standard-seawater is 35 ‰ ( 35 g salt per 1 kg seawater).
The values are displayed in ‰ (g/kg).
7.1.5 TDS measuring
At the TDS measuring the dry residues or total d
issolved solids value is calculated by means of the conductivity and a calculation factor (C.tdS). This factor has to be evaluated for the referring type of solution.
The values are displayed in mg/l.

10 Configuration
In the configuration the devices parameters can be changed.
The jumper has to be set, p.r.t. figure right hand side. To set or
remove jumper, the housing cover has to be removed. Ex works
the jumper is set.
To change parameters press “SET” (key 1) two seconds, then the
parameter selection is started with the first parameter (display
shows “CELL”).
By pressing “SET” the desired parameter is selected, the editing of
the parameter values happens via keys 5 (key 3) or 6 (key 2).
Pressing “SET” again (after editing the parameter values) returns
to the parameter selection
Pressing “SET” again after the last parameter finishes the configuration, stores the changes and restarts the device.

10.10 'Unit' with Temp-arrow: Temperature unit
Temperature unit: All referring settings and displays are done in this unit.
Choice between °C and °F (ex works: °C)
10.11 'OFFS' with Temp-arrow: Offset of temperature measuring
The offset of the measuring will be shifted by this value, the input is in °C. Calculation: see below.
Max. input range: -5.0...5.0 °C or 'oFF' (= 0.0°) (factory setting = off)
10.12 'SCAL' with Temp-arrow: Scale correction of temperature measuring
The scale of the measuring is changed by this value. Calculation: see below.
Max. input range: -5.00...5.00 or 'oFF' (= 0.00) (factory setting = off)
The adjusting of the temperature by means of offset and scale is intended to be used to compensate deviations of the measuring. It is recommended to keep the scale correction deactivated (“oFF”). The display
value is given by following formula:
Temperature display = measured value - offset
With a scale correction (just for calibration laboratories, etc) the formula changes:
Temperature display = (meas. value - offset) * ( 1 + scale correction/100)
After pressing key 1 again, the instrument will restart (display 8888).
