Statement of Intended Use – The M300 for ISM transmitter is a single or dual- channel online
process instrument for measuring various properties of fluids. These include Conductivity*,
Dissolved Oxygen and pH/ORP. It will interface with ISM (Intelligent Sensor Management)
sensors from Mettler-Toledo, which connect to the transmitter using cables of varied lengths.
The transmitter features the Plug and Measure functionally. That means the calibration and
configuration data of each ISM sensor are stored in the sensor head and will be uploaded to the
transmitter after connection.

4.1.1 Panel cutout dimensional information – 1/4DIN models
1/4DIN Model transmitters are designed for panel-mount installation only. Each transmitter is
supplied with mounting hardware to provide fast and simple installation to a flat panel or flat
enclosure door. To insure a good seal and maintain NEMA/IP integrity of installation, the panel
or door must be flat and have a smooth finish. Hardware consists of:
Two – Snap-on Mounting brackets
One – Mounting gasket seal
Transmitter dimensions and mounting are shown in the figures below.
– Make cutout in panel (see dimensions cutout drawing).
– Be sure surface surrounding cutout is clean, smooth and free of burrs.
– Slide face gasket (supplied with transmitter) around transmitter from the back of the unit.
– Place transmitter into cutout hole. Be sure there are no gaps between the transmitter
and panel surface.
– Place the two mounting brackets on either side of the transmitter as shown
– While holding transmitter firmly into the cutout hole, push the mounting brackets
toward the backside of panel
– Once secure, use a screwdriver to tighten the brackets against the panel
– Face gasket will compress between transmitter and panel
4.1.3 Panel cutout dimensional information – 1/2DIN models
1/2DIN Model transmitters are designed with an integral rear cover for stand-alone wall mount
installation.
The unit may also be wall mounted using the integral rear cover. See installation instructions in
Section 4.1.4.
Below are cut-out dimensions required by the 1/2DIN models when mounted within a flat panel
or on a flat enclosure door. This surface must be flat and smooth. Textured or rough surfaces are
not recommended and may limit the effectiveness of the gasket seal provided.
Optional hardware accessories are available that allow for panel- or pipe-mount.
Refer to Section 15 for ordering information.
For Wall Mount:
– Remove rear cover from front housing.
– Start by unscrewing the four screws located on the face of the transmitter, in each corner.
This allows the front cover to swing away from the rear housing.
– Remove the hinge-pin by squeezing the pin from each end.
This allows the front housing to be removed from the rear housing
– Drill out wall-mount breakthroughs in the rear housing.
– Mount rear housing to wall using appropriate mounting hardware for wall surface. Be sure
it is level and securely fastened and the installation adheres to any and all clearance
dimensions required for transmitter service and maintenance.
– Insert two black protective covers (supplied with the M300 transmitter) over the fixing
hardware and into the space on the inside back cover, as shown in the drawing below.
This is necessary to maintain unit integrity.
– Replace the front housing to the rear housing. The unit is ready to be wired.
For Pipe Mount:
– Use only manufacturer-supplied components for pipe-mounting the M300 transmitter and
install per the supplied instructions. See section 15 for ordering information.
All connections to the transmitter are made on the rear panel of all models.
Be sure power to all wires is turned off before proceeding with the installation. High voltage may
be present on the input power wires and relay wires.
A two-terminal connector on the rear panel of all M300 models is provided for power
connection. All M300 models are designed to operate from a 20–30 VDC or a 100 to 240 VAC
power source. Refer to specifications for power requirements and ratings and size power wiring
accordingly.
The terminal block for power connections is labeled “Power” on the rear panel of the transmitter.
One terminal is labeled – N for the Neutral wire and the other + L for the Line (or Load) wire.
There is no earth ground terminal on the transmitter. For this reason the internal power wiring
within the transmitter is double insulated and the product label designates this using the
symbol.

Up to 6 Setpoints can be configured on any of the measurements (a thru d). The possible
Setpoint types are Off, High, Low, Outside and Between.
An ‘Outside’ Setpoint will cause an alarm condition whenever the measurement goes above its
high limit or below its low limit. A ‘Between’ Setpoint will cause an alarm condition to occur
whenever the measurement is between its high and low limits.
Enter the desired value(s) for the Setpoint and press [ENTER]
This screen provides the option to configure a setpoint to be active on an over range condition.
Select the setpoint and ‘Yes’ or ‘No’. Select the desired relay that will activate when the setpoint
alarm condition is reached.
Over Range
Once configured, the selected relay will be activated if a sensor over-range condition is detected
on the assigned input channel.
Delay
Enter the delay time in seconds. A time delay requires the setpoint to be exceeded continuously
for the specified length of time before activating the relay. If the condition disappears before the
delay period is over, the relay will not be activated.
Hysteresis
Enter the hysteresis as a percentage-value. A hysteresis value requires the measurement to
return within the setpoint value by a specified percentage before the relay is deactivated.
For a high setpoint, the measurement must decrease more than the indicated percentage
below the setpoint value before the relay is deactivated. With a low setpoint, the measurement
must rise at least this percentage above the setpoint value before the relay is deactivated. For
example, with a high setpoint of 100, when this value is exceeded, the measurement must fall
below 90 before the relay is deactivated.
Hold
Enter the Relay Hold Status of ‘Last’ or ‘Off’. This is the state the Relay will go to during a Hold
status.
State
Relay contacts are in normal state until the associated setpoint is exceeded, then the relay is
activated and the contact states change.
Select ‘Inverted’ to reverse the normal operating state of the relay (i.e. Normally open contacts
are in a closed state, and normally closed contacts are in an open state, until the setpoint is
exceeded). ‘Inverted’ relay operation is functional when power is applied to the M300
transmitter.
Pressing the [ENTER] key again will bring up the Save Changes dialog. Selecting No will
discard the entered values and return to the measurement display screen, selecting Yes will
save changes made.
If any of these are set to Yes, an alarm signal will be initiated, the selected relay will be
activated, and an alarm message will be recorded if:
1. there is a power failure or power cycling
2. the software watchdog performs a reset
3. Rg is out of tolerance – for example, broken measuring electrode (only for pH sensors)
4. Rr is out of tolerance – for example, coated or depleted reference electrode (only for pH
sensors)
For 1 and 2 the alarm indicator will be turned off when the alarm message is cleared. It will
reappear if the power is constantly cycling or if the watchdog is repeatedly resetting the system.
Only for pH sensors
For 3 and 4 the alarm indicator will go off if the message is cleared and the sensor has been
replaced or repaired so that the Rg and Rr values are within specification. If the Rg or Rr
message is cleared and Rg or Rr is still out of tolerance then the alarm will stay on and the
message will reappear. The Rg and Rr alarm can be turned off by going into this menu and
setting Rg Diagnostics and/or Rr Diagnostics to No. The message can then be cleared and
the alarm indicator will be off even though Rg or Rr is out of tolerance.
Each Alarm Relay can be configured in either a Normal or Inverted state. In addition, a Delay
for the activation can be set. For more information, refer to Section 8.4.
If power failure is turned on, only inverted state is possible and cannot be changed.
Pressing the [ENTER] key again will bring up the Save Changes dialog. Selecting No will

PID control is proportional, integral and derivative control action that can provide smooth
regulation of a process. Before configuring the transmitter, the following process characteristics
must be identified.
Identify the control direction of the process
– Conductivity:Dilution – direct acting where increasing measurement produces increasing control output
such as controlling the feed of low conductivity diluting water to rinse tanks, cooling towers
or boilers
Concentrating – reverse acting where increasing measurement produces decreasing control
output, such as controlling chemical feed to attain a desired concentration
– Dissolved Oxygen:
Deaeration – direct acting where increasing DO concentration produces increasing control
output such as controlling the feed of a reducing agent to remove oxygen from boiler
feedwater
Aeration – reverse acting where increasing DO concentration produces decreasing control
output, such as controlling an aerator blower speed to maintain a desired DO concentration
in fermentation or wastewater treatment
– pH/ORP:
Acid feed only – direct acting where increasing pH produces increasing control output, also
for ORP reducing reagent feed
Base feed only – reverse acting where increasing pH produces decreasing control output,
also for ORP oxidizing reagent feed
Both acid and base feed – direct and reverse acting
Identify the control output type based on the control device to be used:
Pulse Frequency – used with pulse input metering pump
Pulse Length – used with solenoid valve
Analog – used with current input device such as electric drive unit, analog input metering
pump or current-to-pneumatic (I/P) converter for pneumatic control valve
Default control settings provide linear control, which is appropriate for conductivity, dissolved
oxygen. Therefore, when configuring PID for these parameters (or simple pH control) ignore
settings of deadband and corner points in the Tuning Parameter section below. The non-linear
control settings are used for more difficult pH/ORP control situations.
If desired, identify the non-linearity of the pH/ORP process. Improved control can be obtained
if the non-linearity is accommodated with an opposing non-linearity in the controller. A titration
curve (graph of pH or ORP vs. reagent volume) made on a process sample provides the
best information. There is often a very high process gain or sensitivity near the setpoint and
decreasing gain further away from the setpoint. To counteract this, the instrument allows for
adjustable non-linear control with settings of a deadband around the setpoint, corner points
further out and proportional limits at the ends of control as shown in the figure below.
Determine the appropriate settings for each of these control parameters based on the shape
of the pH process titration curve.
