MODEL 2200C CONDUCTIVITY CONTROLLER

INSTRUCTION MANUAL

1.0 GENERAL INFORMATION

The AquaMetrix Model 2200C conductivity analyzer is a versatile industrial microprocessor based
instrument. Setpoints and outputs are programmed through the menu with push buttons on the face
of the instrument. Calibration is achieved from the front panel menu. The instrument may be used
in conjunction with any AquaMetrix MS series cell.

The instrument provides non-isolated 0-5 Vdc, 0-1 mA and isolated 4-20 mA analog outputs. The
analog output may be programmed to represent any segment of the measuring scale. One control
relay, with fully adjustable deadband, and one high-low alarm relay are provided. The control relay
can be programmed to activate in response to rising or falling conductivity.

The integrity of the system is ensured with a watch-dog timer and system alarm. A password
feature protects the stored values.

The instrument is housed in a NEMA 4X enclosure. The standard unit is provided with mounting
hardware for surface mount applications. Both panel and pipe mount kits can be ordered
separately.

3.0 INSTALLIATION

3.1 Location

3.1.1 Locate the instrument within 3000 feet of where the AquaMetrix MS or MC
conductivity cell is installed.

3.1.2 Select an installation site which is:

• free of mechanical vibrations

• reasonably clean and dry

• protected from falling corrosive fluids within the ambient temperature and humidity

specifications

• remote from high voltage relay and power switches

3.2 Type of Mounting

3.2.1 If the instrument is to be pipe or panel mounted a special hardware kit will be
required. For panel mount order part number C35-68. For pipe mount order part
number C35-69. Instructions for both types of mounting will be included with the
kits.

3.2.2 For surface mounting, four feet brackets, together with fastening screws, are
provided with the instrument. These should be fastened to the back of the
instrument and then it may be screwed or bolted in the selected location.

3.3 Conduit Connections

3.3.1 Four 1/2" conduit holes are provided in the bottom of the enclosure. One of these is
fitted with an approved water tight plug. To maintain NEMA 4 integrity, approved
conduit hubs must be used to connect conduit. The hubs must be connected to the
conduit before being connected to the enclosure. Any unused conduit holes must
be closed with water tight plugs or connectors.

3.3.2 For convenience of internal connections the right conduit hole (viewed from the
front) should be used for power connection; the next hole to the left for relay
outputs; the next hole to the left for analog outputs and finally the fourth hole for
sensor input.

3.4 Electrical Connections

CAUTION: The instrument operates from line voltage. This constitutes a possible shock hazard.

Ensure that line power is removed before attempting connections.

Note:

A separate

source of line power may have been connected to the floating relay contacts.

3.4.1 To access the terminal strips open the door of the instrument and then unscrew the
captive retaining screw near the upper right hand corner of the panel. Now swing
open the panel to reveal the terminal strip on the power supply circuit board and the
smaller terminal strip on the back of the main circuit board.

3.4.2 The terminal strip on the power supply board at the back of the instrument is
labeled for line power, relay outputs and analog outputs. Connect the wiring in
accordance with this labeling. (Refer to Fig.1)

Note: Control Relay B is not used in the 2200C.

Terminals 4 and 5 are wired directly to the input line voltage. These terminals can
be used to supply power to the relays. Use the common ground of Terminal 1as the
ground for the auxiliary devices. A separate source of power can also be used to
provide power to the relays. Ensure that the circuit breaker supplying the instrument
is able to supply enough current to the auxiliary devices, to ensure proper operation
of the instrument.

Model 2200C Page 5

CAUTION: Connecting the line voltage to incorrect terminals may cause serious damage.

3.5 Cell Connections

3.5.1 Connect the 4 wires of the cell cable to the TB2 terminal strip on the main circuit
board being sure to match the colors as printed on the TB2 terminal strip. White
and black are the electrode wires; red and green are the temperature sensor wires.
Place switches S41 and S42 in the down “on-line” position. Refer to Fig.2

Model 2200C Page 6

3.5.2 The test resistor R68, is used for the simulation feature. It has a resistance equal to
the equivalent resistance of the cell at mid scale. The resistor that is shipped with
the unit corresponds to the mid scale of the range ordered. If the range is changed,
from the range configured at the factory. Refer to Sec. 9.1.5 for the correct resistor
value.

4.0 Description of Functions

Model 2200C Page 7

4.1 Overview

4.1.1 The Model 2200C is a microprocessor based conductivity analyzer designed for
industrial applications. It is compatible with AquaMetrix’s MS and MC conductivity
cells and offers several measurement ranges. The unit's software makes
maintenance and operation easy.

4.1.2 The outputs include voltage-free relay contacts and industry standard analog
transmission signals. Two programmable relays are provided for process control
and alarm. The status of each relay is indicated on the front by a LED. The analog
output signals transmit low power signals to peripherals such as data recorders or
control systems.

4.1.3 The software is designed for ease of operation. It uses a simple menu with all items
indicated on the panel. The user interface consists of six buttons on the front panel.
The buttons are scanned and responded continuously. In addition, an extensive
system checking for values and parameters is performed by the software. All of the
operating parameters are stored in non-volatile memory, without the need of a
battery.

4.1.4 The Model 2200C operates like a normal analog converter with a number of
additional functions made possible by the microprocessor in the instrument.

Some of these are:

• Recall and easy adjustment of relay and output parameters

• Push button calibration

• A HOLD function for outputs

• Continuous sensor check during measurement

• Continuous self check and watch-dog timer to ensure correct operation

• Password protection of stored values

• Temperature Output
