The process medium may be hot or otherwise hazardous.
Precautions when removing the sensor from the process line:
Make positively sure that the process line is not under pressure (except with the isolation/retraction valve).
For a retractor/isolation valve the line pressure should be within the specifications.
For a prism wash system, close a hand valve for the wash medium and disable the power supply.
Loosen the clamp or flange bolts cautiously, be prepared to tighten them again.
Use shields and protective clothing adequate for the process medium.
Do not rely on avoidance of contact with the process medium.
After removal of the sensor, it may be necessary to mount a blind flange for security reasons.

2.3. PRINCIPLE OF MEASUREMENT
The K-Patents Process Refractometer determines the refractive index (R.I) of the process solution by
measuring the critical angle of refraction. The light from a light source (L) (Figure 2.30) is directed against
the interface between a prism (P) and the process solution (S). The light rays meet this surface at different
angles. The reflected rays form an image (ACB), where (C) is the position of the critical angle ray. The
rays at (A) are totally reflected at the interface, the rays at (B) are partially reflected and partially refracted
into the process solution. In this way the optical image is divided into a light area (A) and a dark area (B).
The position of the borderline (C) between the areas shows the value of the critical angle and thus of the
refractive index of the process solution. The refractive index normally increases with increasing
concentration.

S

Figure 2.31 Optical images.
From this follows that the optical image changes with the process solution concentration as shown in
Figure 2.31. The optical image is converted to an electric signal by an image detector.
By this method the concentration of the solution is measured. The color of the solution, gas bubbles or
undissolved particles do not interfere with the result.

2.4. SENSOR DESCRIPTION
In the K-Patents Process Refractometer Sensor (Figure 2.40) the measurement prism (A) is flush mounted
in the oblique surface near the tip. The light source (B) is a light emitting diode.
K-Patents Process Refractometer uses a digital image detector (C). The image detector consists of 256
photocells in a row integrated on one chip.
B
A
F
Figure 2.40 Sensor structure.
The image detector output is a pulse train as shown in Figure 2.41. This number of high pulses corresponds
to the position of the shadow edge in the optical image. The number of high pulses is a direct measure of
the critical angle. The image digitizer (E) transforms this pulse train to a serial digital signal. This serial
signal transmits a package containing a complete description of the optical image and temperature data to
the Indicating transmitter.
For automatic temperature compensation, the sensor tip contains a process temperature probe (F).
The digital image sensor (C) is separated from the process heat by fiber optics (D) and the thermal isolation
(G). It is housed in the air-cooled sensor head.

2.5. THE INDICATING TRANSMITTER
Figure 2.50 The Indicating transmitter (IT-R).
The Indicating transmitter IT-R (Figure 2.50) receives a serial signal from the Sensor describing the optical
image and also giving the process temperature. The microprocessor system displays the optical image
(Figure 2.72) and implements an image analyzing algorithm (Figure 2.52), which identifies the exact
position of the shadow edge shown in Figure 2.41.
The Indicating transmitter contains a power supply, a microprocessor system and a front panel with a
Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) and a Keyboard. The output signals are a 4-20 mA concentration signal and
a Serial output signal, RS232 or RS485 alternatively.
There are also two built-in signal relays on the power supply card inside the Indicating transmitter. These
two signal relays can be configured to any relay function, except to preconditioning or wash control
(described in Section 9.2). Configurations are made from the main calibration menu, see Figure 2.61. Note
the default setting for the built-in signal relay 1 is No Malfunction and for the relay 2 Internal humidity
above 50%. A closed contact on the relay 1 indicates that the instrument works properly. It is
recommended to use this relay for alarm purpose in a control system.
The Indicating transmitter also accepts 4 input switch closures for signal HOLD or scale selection. A serial
bus connects the Indicating transmitter to the external units such as Relay Unit (See Chapter 9) or External
Output Unit (Section 10.1).
Unauthorized access can be prevented: Knockout padlock provisions are included in both cover latches.
For password protection, see Section 2.11.
The microprocessor system linearizes the concentration reading, like in the example Figure 2.51, and
performs an automatic temperature compensation.

2.6. DISPLAY AND KEYBOARD
A built-in Demo program can be used for training, See Section 4.3.
The Normal Display (Figure 2.60) gives the following information:
- Concentration (large size characters) in %, g/l or other units, see Section 2.8.
- Process temperature in °C. Alternatively °F can be displayed, see Section 2.8.
- TEST value: The number of photocells at the light side in the optical image.
- Diagnostic messages like "Normal operation", see Section 6.3.
- Activated alarms
- Soft Keys: The definitions are shown above the corresponding keys A, B, C and D.
For the Normal Display, Figure 2.60, pressing key A starts a prism wash cycle when a Relay Unit (Chapter
9.) is used for prism wash. If a Relay Unit is not used for that purpose, the soft key "Start prism wash" is
not visible.
A timeout is set for all displays. The timeout is one hour (60 minutes) for the following displays:
Diagnostics Slope, Scaled Image, Raw Sensor Data, Optical Image, Normal Display. The timeout is one
minute (60 seconds) for all other displays. During the timeout the display functions the same way as
pressed the “Reset” key.
The keys C and D change the Normal Display to a Calibration menu (Figure 2.81) or an Information
Display (Figure 2.71) respectively.

The selection tree:
The display selections are structured like a tree as shown in Figure 2.61. Using the soft keys (A, B, C, D) it
is possible to select the next display upwards. In some cases the selection is made from a menu using a
numerical key. In Figure 2.61 the Soft Key selection is indicated by letters A-D, menu selection by
numbers 1-9. The display itself provides guidance to find the right path step-by-step, which minimizes the
need to consult the manual.
The RESET key is used to climb down the tree, for each RESET the next display downwards is selected.
Data entry:
When "New value: _ _ _ _ " is displayed, new parameter values can be entered by the numerical keys.
Erroneous numbers are erased by RESET. Press ENTER, when the number is complete. After this ENTER,
as well as after any change, there appears on the display:
Press ENTER to change
(Otherwise press RESET)
2.7. INFORMATION DISPLAY
The Information Display, Figure 2.71, is selected by the soft key "Display" at the Normal Display (Figure
2.60). This "Display" branch of the selection tree is safe, because here no changes can be made to the
system.
Figure 2.71 The Information Display.
The Information Display contains additional data compared to the Normal Display:
- The PROCESS TEMPERATURE in both °C and °F
- The STANDARD RI (25 °C). This shows the Refractive Index of a standard RI liquid applied to
the prism, see Section 5.4.
- output current in mA
Optical image (soft key):
Shows the Optical Image, Figure 2.72. The light area (high pulses) is to the left, the dark area (low pulses)
is to the right, compare to Figure 2.41. The vertical scale is 0-100 % of highest pulse amplitude, the
horizontal scale expresses the numbers of the photocells 0-256. The three leftmost pulses represent
additional dark reference cells.

Parameters (soft key):
Displays the CHANGE PARAMETERS menu (Figure 2.81) which contains:
CONC (RI) (soft key):
Further by the soft key "Parameters", the calibration parameters for the concentration are entered, see
Section 5.2.
Menu selected functions are:
1. Concentration unit, can be "CONC %", "CONC g/l", "CONC", “OECHSLE” or "BRIX". Also
available is the unit RI (x °C), which is "RI measured in the laboratory at x °C" where typically
x = 60 °C, displayed as RI (60 °C). The unit RI (x °C) should not be confused with "Standard
RI (25 °C)" even if the x can be chosen as 25.
2. Number of CONC display decimals.
3. Damping time in seconds. This is the time it takes for the concentration measurement to reach
half of its final value at a step change of the concentration
4. Switch selected scales. Provides four additional complete sets of calibration parameters, see
"Switch inputs" below.
1. Prism wash:
Entering of prism wash times for the Relay Unit and a wash check, wash stop and smart wash functions, see
Section 9.2.
2. Relays:
Provides relay configuration, see Sections 2.5 and 9.2.
3. Switch inputs:
The microprocessor accepts four switch inputs (A, B, C and D), for connections see Figure 3.63. The
function of each switch can be individually defined from one of four alternatives
0. Not defined (which is the factory setting).
1. Remote wash start for Relay Unit wash function and external Hold. The external Hold is used
with a wash timer other than the Relay Unit, or to hold the signal during stops in an intermittent
flow (e.g. by contact from the pump control). A wash start is also initiated when the contact
opens, if it has been closed longer than one minute.
2. Defined to select alternative process mediums. There are all together four alternative mediums
selectable by closure of the corresponding switch. If no selection switch is closed, the normal
medium is selected. Maximum number of mediums is five (Normal, A, B, C, D).
Note. The range will not change. Example: medium 1 = 20 - 40 % Sugar, medium 2 = 20 - 40
% Salt.
3. External wash stop: An input switch can be configurated to an external wash stop to prevent the
prism wash when the corresponding input switch is connected. “External wash stop”-message
will show when automatic wash is activated. The input switch can be set to protect the
refractometer e.g. if the process is stopped.
4. Calibration stop: An input switch can be configurated for calibration stop. Activating and
connecting the input switch will prevent calibration through software.

4. Output signals menu:
1. Current output. Sets the zero and span in concentration units that correspond to 4-20 mA
output. The signal range 0-20 mA can also be selected. The 0 will be slightly above 0 mA,
typically 0,06 mA. An active HOLD function locks the signal during prism wash by the Relay
Unit. When the HOLD function is inactive, the wash results can be seen as a negative peak in
the output signal.
2. External current output. Defines the scale for the External Output Unit (Section 10.1) the same
way as above. In addition the source has to be selected from the list Concentration/Standard RI
(25 °C)/Temp °C/Temp °F.
3. Serial output. The format is to be defined, see Section 3.7.
5. Temperature menu:
The temperature calibration is made through this menu, see Section 5.8. It is also possible to select the
temperature display unit in the normal display as °C/°F. A high temperature limit can be activated and set
for a "High process temperature" message, Section 6.3.
6. Standard RI (25 °C):
Gives the calibration parameters for the bench calibration value with standard RI liquids, Section 5.4. The
RI (25 °C) can also be added to the normal display.
7. Language
Selection of display language: 1. English 2. German.
8. Divert control
Supports the K-Patents Divert Control Unit DD-01, see separate Instruction Manual for the Digital Black
Liquor Divert Control System.
9. Password
A software password can be selected to prohibit unauthorized calibration, see Section 2.11.
2.9. COMPATIBILITY WITH EARLIER K-PATENTS REFRACTOMETER SYSTEMS
The model PR-01-S has been preceded by models PR-01, PR-01-E and PR-01-B.
Sensor
The sensors of all models are using identical mounting parts, so e.g. a PR-01-B refractometer can be
replaced by a PR-01-S without any process pipe changes. The critical measure, i.e. the distance between
the prism and the process connection, is unchanged.
Interconnecting cable and Indicating transmitter
The PR-01-S cable, and also the transmission, is different from earlier models. Neither Sensor nor
Indicating transmitter of the model PR-01-S can be combined with any corresponding unit of the earlier
models.

2.10.1. UPGRADING THE PROGRAM VERSION
K-Patents improves the IT-R programming all the time. If you need a new (or latest) program version,
order the spare part PR-7509. You'll get a new EPROM (Figure 2.11) with the new program version and
you upgrade by removing the old EPROM from the processor card and inserting the new one into its place.
Figure 2.11 EPROM with program version 8.6
– IMPORTANT: Before you upgrade any program
versions, write down all current parameters from the
calibration screen of the Indicating transmitter. Also
remember to take note of the wash and relay parameters.
– Power off and open the front panel of the IT-R.
– Unscrew the cover on the inside of the front panel. Unplug
the cable from the Power supply card to the front panel and
remove the cover to see the Processor card.
– Carefully remove the old EPROM from the Processor card
(Figure 2.12) and insert the new EPROM.
– Place the cover over the Processor card, screw it on and
reconnect the cable from the Power supply card to the front
panel. Close the front panel.
– Press ENTER button and at the same time switch the power
on. You will now enter the Factory calibration mode.
– Press 1 for Default settings. Make sure that all pre-upgrade
parameters have been written down.

2.12. GENERAL SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS
The process medium may be hot or otherwise hazardous. Use shields and protective clothing adequate for
the process medium - do not rely on avoidance of contact with the process medium.
Precautions when removing the sensor from the process line:
- Make positively sure that the process line is not under pressure. Open a vent valve to the atmosphere.
- For a prism wash system, close a hand valve for the wash medium and disable the wash valve.
- Loosen the clamp cautiously, be prepared to tighten again.
- Be out of the way of any possible splash and ensure the possibility of escape.
- After removal of the sensor, it may be necessary to mount a blind cover for security reasons.
2.13. WARRANTY
K-Patents warrants that all products made by K-Patents shall be free of defects in material and
workmanship. K-Patents agrees to either replace or repair free of charge, any such product or part thereof

3. MOUNTING
Special precautions have to be taken when an intrinsically safe system is mounted, see Section 12.2.
3.1. SENSOR LOCATION
The sensor is delivered with a mounting guide attached, Figure 3.10.
The sensor is designed for being installed directly in a process line. If the sensor is located out of doors,
some basic protection against direct exposure to sunlight and rain should be provided.
Air-cooling
Normally, draught and natural convection provide sufficient air cooling. Criteria for efficient air-cooling:
1. The sensor should be mounted with the main axis horizontal, Figure 3.10.
2. There must be no obstacles for air to flow around the sensor head.
3. The red sensor cover should not be exposed to high temperature radiation.
If the ambient temperature is higher than 45°C (113°F) the air-cooling should be improved by blowing
pressurized air against the red sensor cover. This is also recommended when the process temperature is
above 110°C (230°F) when the ambient temperature is above 35°C (95°F).
The pressurized air can be supplied by the ventilation system. If no air is available it is possible to wind a
copper coil for cooling water around the sensor head cover.
Process flow conditions
The sensor is designed to make the prism self-cleaning. To ensure a representative sample and also prism
cleaning action, a good process flow should be directed against the prism surface. A flow velocity above
1.5 m/s (5 ft/s) is recommended. For lower velocities prism wash (Chapter 8) should be considered. Flow
velocity is calculated from v[m/s] = 21.2 * Flow[lit/min]/d²[mm]; v[m/s] = 0.125 * Flow[Gpm]/d²[in].
Accumulation of sediment or of gas bubbles should be prevented.
If the process pipe vibrates, support the pipe.

Selection of location
To decide "Where to mount" use the following criteria:
1. Process pipe is preferred to process vessel, because favorable flow conditions are difficult to
ensure in a vessel.
2. If the process pipe diameter varies, select the position with the smallest diameter (and
accordingly highest velocity). Then the prism keeps better clean. If the pipe is coned up after a
pump, valve or magnetic flow meter, then add a length of straight pipe before the coning up and
mount the refractometer there.
3. If the refractometer is used in a feedback control loop, make the time lag small. E.g. when a
dilution valve is controlled, mount the refractometer as near the dilution point as possible.
4. If the temperature varies along the process pipe, select the position with the highest temperature.
Then the risk of prism coating is minimized, because higher temperature means higher solubility
and also lower viscosity.
5. Often the position with the highest pressure (= low point in pipe system + after pump + before
valve) has favorable flow conditions without sedimentation or air trapping risks.
6. The sensor should be conveniently accessible.
3.2. MOUNTING EXAMPLES
For mounting drawing for desired pipe diameter and connection type, contact the representative of
K-Patents.
No special mounting parts are needed to mount K-Patents Process Refractometer. For all process pipe
diameters just a standard piece of 88.9 x 3.6 steel pipe is used as adapter. For small process pipe diameters
the piece of pipe is sealed in the other end to form a flow cell. Examples for different process pipe
diameters are given in Figure 3.20 and Figure 3.21.
For flanged mounting, the user has to provide the counter flange. For clamp mounting K-Patents provides a
weld-on ring.
Flow cells can be supplied by K-Patents, see Section 8.5.

3.3. MOUNTING AND DISMOUNTING
The sensor mounting procedure: (Figure 3.30)
a. Remove the prism protection sticker before the sensor is connected to the process line.
b. Identify the sensor by the serial number. Sensors are interchangeable under special conditions only and
recalibration is normally required, section 3.5.
c. Check flow direction. If the fitting has a fixed flange, the bolt holes should allow proper flow
alignment of probe. If this is not the case, remove the two fixing bolts, (Section 7.1 sensor item 2.2).
The sensor flange can then be freely rotated. Save the bolts, they are useful at dismounting.
d. Heat insulate the sensor flange if it can be suspected that a too strong cooling effect can cause prism
coating, Section 8.1.
Note. If the process medium is hot and sticky, it is recommended to heat the probe by using hot water
before mounting. A cool prism tends to be rapidly coated.

Figure 3.30 Mounting procedure.
Dismounting
If a flanged sensor sticks in the fitting, pulling force can be generated by the flange fixing bolts.
Proceed as follows:
– remove the fixing bolts (Section 7.1, item 2.2)
– lift the sensor flange away from the flange fitting
– screw the bolts directly into the threaded holes
– tighten the bolts alternately in small steps
3.4. WASH NOZZLE FOR STEAM
For mounting of the prism wash systems, see Chapter 8.
3.5. INDICATING TRANSMITTER
The Indicating transmitter should preferably be located in an easily accessible, well-lighted and dry area.
The enclosure must not be exposed to rain or direct sunlight. Avoid vibration. Take interconnecting cable
length into consideration.

The enclosure is mounted on a wall using four mounting feet, Figure 2.20. Do not drill mounting holes in
the enclosure.
Note: The LCD display has an operating temperature range of 0...50°C and a storage temperature range of
-20...60°C.
Check the serial number from the label, Figure 2.11.
An Indicating transmitter can be exchanged for another of the same model, but the current calibration
constants have then to be entered by the keyboard (Section 5.7). For compatibility information, see Section
2.9.
3.6. ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
The electric terminals of the Indicating transmitters are all on the Power Supply card, Figure 6.40. This is
accessible by opening the enclosure and the front panel. The front panel swings out after the two screws to
the right have been loosened (Section 7,3, item 3.14). For intrinsically safe connections, see Section 12.2.
Power:
The power is specified in the DELIVERY DATA SHEET and on the Label (Figure 2.11). The position of
the power select switch on the Power Supply card (SW2 in Figure 6.40) should also be checked. The
power selection switch has two positions: 220-240 V/50-60 Hz or 100-115 V/50-60 Hz.
The primary AC power is connected to a separate terminal strip 39/40/41 on the Power Supply card
marked POWER (Figure 6.40): The terminals are marked 39/L, 40/N and 41/ground symbol.
The power terminals L and N are directly connected to the transformer primary loop, and galvanically
separated from the rest of the instrument. The ground terminal (41) is connected to the bottom plate of the
Indicating transmitter, to the transformer shield winding and to the outer shield of the interconnecting
cable.
Power for +24V DC Indicating Transmitters:
The power is specified in the DELIVERY DATA SHEET and on the Label (Figure 2.11). The position of
the power select switch on the Power Supply card (SW2 in Figure 6.40a) should also be checked. The
power selector switch must be in 110position when input voltage is +24 V DC.
The primary DC power is connected to a separate terminal strip 39/40/41 on the Power supply card marked
POWER (Figure 6.40a). The terminals are marked 39/+24V, 40/0 and 41/ground symbol.
The power terminals +24V and 0 are directly connected to the transformer primary loop, and galvanically
separated from the rest of the instrument. The ground terminal (41) is connected to the bottom plate of the
Indicating Transmitter, to the transformer shield winding and to the outer shield of the interconnecting
cable.

At the Indicating transmitter end of the interconnecting cable has leads numbered from 1 to 7 to be
connected to the terminals with the same numbers. The sensor end of the interconnecting cable is
terminated by a plug, Figure 6.22. The interconnecting cable may be shortened or lengthened up to the
limit specified, Section 2.2. The interconnecting cable should be installed in a separate metal conduit. For
cable specifications, see Section 2.2.
Current output:
The terminal 25 is plus (+) and 26 minus (-) for the 4-20 mA output signal. The signal is specified in
Section 2.2.
Recorders, controllers, indicators etc. shall be connected to form a closed current loop, starting from
terminal 25 passing each device, in at plus and out at minus, ending at terminal 26. Be careful not to exceed
the specified load resistance.
The range of the output signal can be set to 0-20 mA from the keyboard (Section 2.8), select
Calibrate/Output signals/Current output/Range.

Serial output RS-232/RS-485:
Terminals 15-18 and Plug connector P3, see Section 3.7.
Serial bus:
Terminals 8-14 provide connection to K-Patents accessory units, like the Relay unit (Chapter 9) and
External Output Unit (Section 10.1). The same type of cable is used as for the interconnecting cable to the
sensor specified in Section 2.2.
The terminals 8-14 are connected to the same numbers in the external units. Connect the external units in a
chain beginning from the Indicating transmitter and ending at the Relay unit (Figure 3.62). For an
intermediate unit (e.g. External output unit), the Serial bus input is terminals 8-14 /A and output 8-14/B. If
there is no Relay Unit to complete the chain, connect a 120 Ohm resistor over the terminals 8/B and 9/B at
the last unit.
Note: The current loop of the Serial bus must always be closed, by a Relay Unit or the 120 Ohm resistor.

Built-in signal relays:
There are also two built-in signal relays on the power supply card inside the Indicating transmitter. These
two signal relays can be configured to any relay function, except to preconditioning or wash control
(described in Section 9.2). Configurations are made from the main calibration menu, see Figure 2.61. Note
the default setting for the built-in signal relay 1 is No Malfunction and for the relay 2 Internal humidity
above 50%. A closed contact on the relay 1 indicates that the instrument works properly. It is
recommended to use this relay for alarm purpose in a control system.
3.7. SERIAL OUTPUT
A remote display unit, a computer, or a terminal can be connected to the PR-01-S serial output terminals.
In the Indicating transmitter either RS-232 or RS-485 interface may be used.
The output measurement results are sent in ASCII code (ISO 646, CCITT V.3) using a standard
asynchronous interface. The output consists of fixed-length text records. A record is sent for every
measurement interval (800 ms).
RS-232: Conforms to the EIA RS-232-C and CCITT V.24 standards. The signals are available at plug
terminal P3. Cable diagrams are shown in figure 3.70 (for modems) and figure 3.71 (for computers). Both
25-pin and 9-pin D-shell connector pin numbers are given. If the IT-R is to be connected to a computer,
connections 4-5 and 6-8-20 (see figure 3.70) may be omitted in most cases. Note: RS-232-C specifies a
maximum cable length of 15 m.
RS-485: The physical interface conforms to the EIA RS-485. The cable should be a shielded twisted pair.
The RS-485 signals are available at P3 (DAT- and DAT+ in figure 3.70) or strip terminals 15-18. For a
shielded cable connection (recommended), see figure 3.61. K-Patents recommends a cable length not
exceeding 200 m.
