2 Description
General
Conductive conductivity sensors are used in conjunction with suitable
transmitters in industrial analysis measurement technology to determine the
electrolytic conductivity of liquids.
The JUMO tecLine CR-4P fills the gap between conductive conductivity
measurement with two-electrode measuring sensors, and inductive
conductivity measurement.
Four-pin technology makes it possible to cover a very wide measuring range
from about 1 µS/cm to 600 mS/cm, with just one measuring sensor.
The hygienic design of the sensor and the EHEDG-certified system for process
connection (JUMO PEKA), mean that it can be used in pharmaceutical and
food technology without difficulty. JUMO PEKA is an adapter system that
combines the measuring sensor with the process connection. All the materials
are physiologically safe, and meet FDA standards.
Stainless steel electrodes are inserted into a circular, plastic body. The process
seal provided as standard is an EPDM O-ring. A fast-response temperature
probe delivers information about the process temperature to the measurement
amplifier. Electrical connection is made via an M12 connector.
The measuring sensor is available in three fitting lengths, for optimum
installation in different pipe diameters. The measuring sensor can also be
installed in container walls. No incident flow is required to make it work, but is
recommended for fast, stable measurement values and to prevent the
accumulation of deposits.
Operative range
Note
Key features
A certificate of quality is included among the items supplied (exact cell
constant, FDA approval for the material, typical surface roughness, etc.).
Their vast measuring range of 1 µS/cm to 600 mS/cm, allows the sensors to
be used in washing processes in food and drink applications, pharmaceuticals
and biotechnology, where the different conductivities have to be safely
recorded by a measuring system (e.g. CIP/SIP applications, reverse processes
in ion exchangers, phase separation, bottle cleaning plants, process water).
Used in combination with the JUMO AQUIS 500 CR transmitter/controller, as
per data sheet 202565 and JUMO PEKA process connection adapters as per
data sheet 409711.

2 Description
The measuring sensors have two pairs of electrodes. The transmitter applies
alternating current at the outer pair of electrodes. A voltage is released at the
inner electrodes - subject to the conductivity of the measuring material. The
transmitter acquires the voltage and uses it to calculate the electrolytic
conductivity value. Functionally, excitation and measurement are kept
separate. This has some advantages compared to 2-electrode measuring
sensors, as the effects of polarization recede into the background. To a large
extent, incoming resistances are automatically compensated. Measurement
errors as a result of contamination or deposits, are reduced.
Find a location that ensures easy accessibility for the later calibration.
The fastening must be secure and must ensure low vibration for the instrument.
The operating conditions (temperature, pressure, chemical composition of the
measuring material, etc.,) must not be allowed to damage the measuring sensor.
The measuring sensor must not be modified mechanically (e.g. shortened,
drilled, ground).
A minimum distance of at least two meters must be maintained when
installing several JUMO tecLine CR-4P type conductivity sensors.
The conductivity sensor can be mounted in any position. But it is essential to
make sure that the measuring sensor electrodes are fully immersed in the
measuring material.
No incident flow is required to make the conductivity sensor work, but is
recommended for fast, stable measurement values and to prevent the
accumulation of deposits. Structural measures must be taken to prevent flow
separation or gas bubbles in the measuring material.
Immersion length
The immersion length (EL) of the conductivity sensor must be in keeping with
the installation situation.

The EHEDG-certified system for process connection – JUMO PEKA – allows it
to be used in pharmaceutical and food technology without difficulty. JUMO
PEKA is an adapter system that combines the measuring sensor with the
process connection. All the materials are physiologically safe, and meet FDA
standards.
• Lay the input, output, and supply lines so they are physically separated
from each other and are not parallel
• If possible, use the CR-4P cable (see Accessories) to connect the
conductivity sensor; do not lay the connecting cable close to components
or lines through which current is flowing
• The cables must have an uninterrupted run (do not route them via terminal
blocks or similar arrangements)
• No other consumers can be connected to the power terminals of the
instrument
• The conductivity sensor is not suitable for installation in areas with an
explosion hazard
• It is essential to comply with the electrical connection instructions in the
operating manual of the transmitter that is being used
• Apart from faulty installation, incorrect settings on the transmitter may also
affect the proper functioning of the subsequent process or lead to damage;
you should therefore always provide safety equipment that is independent
and it should only be possible for qualified personnel to make settings

Ageing and contamination (deposits) can cause the cell constant
of the conductivity sensor to change.
The transmitter should therefore be calibrated to the connected
conductivity sensor at regular intervals (subject to the measuring
material and the operating conditions)!
JUMO tecLine CR-4P conductivity sensors are exactly gaged at the factory.
The cell constant of every measuring sensor is documented both on the cell
stem and on the calibration certificate that is also supplied.
This cell constant should be entered directly into the connected transmitter
(e. g. JUMO AQUIS 500 CR).
In combination with the JUMO AQUIS 500 CR, measuring accuracy in the
20 µS/cm to 600 mS/cm range is better than 5 %. To achieve far greater
measuring accuracy, calibrate the transmitter close to its later working point.
To monitor and increase the quality of measurement, the conductivity
measurement chain (conductivity sensor + connecting cable + transmitter)
should be regularly calibrated.
Reference solutions
It is advisable to use one of the following reference solutions for calibration:
• ASTM D 1125, reference solution B: 0.1 N KCl with 12856 µS/cm
• DIN 38404, Part 8, Section 8.3: 0.1 mol/l KCl with 12.95x10
However, any calibration solution in the medium conductivity range can also
be used.
6.3JUMO AQUIS 500 CR settings
It is essential to comply with the JUMO AQUIS 500 CR operating
instructions (B 202565.0)!
The following settings are the minimum that have to be made:
• Cell type (type of connection): 4-electrode or 4-wire
• Nominal cell constant 1.0 1/cm
• Relative cell constant as % (see sensor nameplate or
certificate)Einstellungen am JUMO dTRANS CR 02

7 Maintenance/troubleshooting
7.1Cleaning the conductivity sensor
Conductive conductivity sensors are not authorized for use in
highly adherent, oily or glutinous media - we recommend using our
inductive conductivity measuring instruments here!
After cleaning the conductivity sensor, always rinse it with water!
The conductive conductivity sensor electrodes are in direct
contact with the measurement medium. Regular cleaning must
therefore be performed, relative to the contamination
susceptibility of the measuring material!
Abrasive cleaners have limited suitability! The measurement
electrodes must not be damaged!
• Light contamination can be wiped off with a soft, cleansing tissue, or similar
• Wash off sticky contamination or greasy and oily contamination with a hot
rinsing agent solution and a soft cloth or soft brush; Ethanol can also be
used to clean the sensor, if necessary
• Diluted hydrochloric acid (3 % by weight) can also be used to dissolve the
contamination in the event of calciferous coatings or precipitated metal
hydroxides or metal oxides
• If none of the methods mentioned above remove the contamination, other
solvents, acids or caustic solutions may be used, with the aid of ultrasonic
baths where required;
in this case, it is necessary to ensure that the conductivity sensor
components are resistant to the cleaning agents being used, see section 8
"Technical data"
