The 2000 is an analytical and process control
instrument for measuring solution properties. It
can process two sensor inputs for pH, ORP
(redox potential), conductivity or resistivity, or one
sensor input for dissolved oxygen or dissolved
ozone, in all combinations except for ozone and
four-electrode conductivity. A liquid crystal display
conveys measuring data and setup information.
The display is backlit for viewing in all lighting
conditions. The menu structure allows the
operator to modify all operational parameters by
using keys on the front panel. A menu-lockout
feature, with password protection, is available to
prevent the unauthorized use of the meter. The
2000 can have up to four relays for process
control.
The 2000 instrument is equipped with a
communication interface that can be configured
as either an RS422 or an RS232. This interface
provides real-time data output and complete
instrument configuration capabilities for central
monitoring via personal computer or
Programmable Logic Controller (PLC). An
external isolator for the digital communications
signal is required if measurements other than
conductivity with 0.1/cm cell constants are being
made. For coverage of communications, see
Manual 84423.

OVERVIEW OF OPERATION
When power is applied to the 2000, the
initialization process begins. The instrument will
perform a number of self tests. Any problems
detected during these tests will be reported by a
displayed message.
Next, all setup parameters (setpoints, states,
relay conditions, etc.) are restored from a nonvolatile memory.
The meter will then begin the measurement
process. A complete measurement cycle is
performed once per second and consists of the
following:
1. Measure four signals and compute four
measurements.
2. Check setpoints against the measurements.
3. Control the relays.
4. Update analog output signals.
5. Transmit measurement data over the
communication port.
6. Display data (if not displaying a menu).
At any time during this process the menus can be
accessed by pressing one of the menu keys. The
display of a menu will not affect the measurement
process.

CHAPTER 2: INSTALLING THE 2000
UNPACKING
Each 2000 is packed in an individual
biodegradable carton. Retain the packaging in the
event that the instrument must be returned to
Thornton for service or calibration.
This carton should contain:
1 - 2000 Instrument
1 - Set of panel mounting hardware with
The 2000 can be mounted in a panel, on a pipe
or attached to a wall.
Panel Mounting Cutout
and Installation
The panel cutout should measure 7.56 inches
wide by 3.780 inches high (192 mm X 96 mm).
Drill four holes for the #10 mounting screws. See
Figure 14.3 for panel cutout size and mounting
screw hole spacing. When mounting multiple
instruments on the same panel, note the front
flange dimensions in Figure 14.2 in order to allow
enough space between instruments.
Panel cutouts should be clean and free of burrs
and sharp edges. The proper dimensions allow
an instrument to slide freely into the cutout.
Install the panel gasket (supplied with instrument)
on the instrument mounting flange. Slide the
instrument into the cutout and secure it with the
mounting screws.
CAUTION: Do not over tighten the screws as
this may crack the case.
If the rear cover is used in a panel mounted
installation, the 2000 unit must be installed in the
panel opening before the rear cover is installed.
Wall Mounting
The 2000 can be easily mounted to a wall when
the rear cover is installed. The flanges on the
ends of the cover contain holes for screws to
fasten the assembly to the wall. A layout for
drilling mounting holes is included in the wall
mount kit.
Pipe Mounting
The 2000 can be mounted to a pipe with the pipe
mounting accessory kit. The assembly is shown
in Figure 14.5.
ELECTRICAL
CONNECTIONS
All electrical connections are made at plug-in
terminal blocks at the rear of the 2000 case.
WARNING: MAKE 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.
CAUTION: A good power earth ground
connection is required for safety and for
proper operation of the instrument. To prevent
electrostatic discharge (ESD) from damaging
the instrument during installation, the installer
must also be electrically grounded i.e., wear a
conductive wrist strap connected to earth
ground.
Do not run power and relay wiring in the same
conduit or parallel with sensor and output
signal wiring to prevent interference.
Input Power and Relay Connections
Terminal block TB1 contains connections for the
input line power and relay contacts. Depending
upon the model number, the 2000 will have either
2 or 4 relays. Table 2.1 shows the wiring
sequence.
All relays have “dry contacts”; they are potentialfree and require external power to be wired in
series with the load and instrument terminals.
Relays 3 and 4, if specified, are solid state AC-
Chapter 2 Installation 3
only relays (triacs) and require a minimum current
of 10 mA to switch reliably. With very small loads
such as a neon bulb, test meter or PLC, a load
resistor is required in parallel with the load, e.g. a
10K ohm, 2 watt resistor, for operation with 115
VAC.

Setting Input Voltage
for 115 VAC or 230 VAC
The input voltage for a 2000 can be set for either
90-130 VAC or 180-250 VAC operation. The input
voltage is preset at the factory and is indicated on
the serial number label on the side of the unit.
Jumpers on the printed circuit board can be
changed to change the input voltage. See Figure
14.7. W4 jumper pins are located between the
power transformer and the fuse. For 90-130 VAC
operation jumper pins 1-2 and 3-4 must be used.
For 180-250 VAC operation only a jumper on pins
2-3 must be installed. The jumpers can be
accessed by removing two screws from the back
panel and carefully lifting the panel off.
Fuse requirements:
For 90-130 VAC: 1/8 Amp, SB, 250 VAC
For 180-250 VAC: 1/16 Amp, SB, 250 VAC
NOTE: If the line power frequency is changed,
select the correct setting (see AC POWER
FREQUENCY in Chapter 4).
Setting Input Voltage for 24 VDC
The 2000 can be operated from a +24 VDC
power supply instead of the typical 90-130 VAC
or 180-250 VAC source.
NOTE: 24 VDC power supply must be isolated
from earth ground and between instruments. Use
a DC/DC power isolator if necessary.
Remove any AC power connections from terminal
block TB1.
1. Move circuit board jumper W6 to the 24V
position (left two pins) as shown in Figure
14.7.
2. Connect + 24V DC power to the connection
labeled PS+ on terminal block TB3. Connect
the power supply ground to the connection
labeled PS- on TB3.
WARNING: AC POWER CONNECTIONS MUST
BE REMOVED WHEN USING THE +24V
POWER INPUT.
NOTE: The +24 VDC input is not fused within the
meter. Use an external fuse.
AC Power Wiring
In order to maintain safety for the electrical
installation, no more than 6 mm of insulation is to
be removed from each conductor before fully
inserting into the electrical terminal.
The plug-in terminal blocks for all connections
will accept wire sizes from 26 AWG (0.126 mm
to 14 AWG (2.08 mm
to 12 AWG (3.31 mm
2
), solid or stranded and up
2

Output Connections
Connections for all outputs are made to terminal
block TB4. The serial port can be configured as
an RS232 port (shown in Table 2.2.) or an RS422
port (shown in Table 2.3). An external isolator for
digital communications is strongly recommended
to prevent ground loop problems.

terminals. Connect shield(s) only to one of the
earth ground terminals next to AC line power.
Table 2.4: Analog Output Connections
Sensor Patch Cord Connections
The sensors are connected to plug-in terminal
blocks TB2 and TB3. Each channel has nine
terminals for the sensors plus earth ground.
Patch cords, 1XXX-67 or 58 080 20X series, for
the 2000 have a connector on one end and tinned
leads on the other end. Table 2.5. shows the
wiring pattern for each type of sensor.
CAUTION: Wiring for each type of sensor is
different. Miswiring patch cords may damage
sensors and will void all warranties. Verify
wire colors in table 2.5. Disconnect power
before wiring sensors to prevent damage to
the input circuit.
If sensors other than conductivity must be
wired with the instrument powered, make the
PS- connection first to prevent damage to the
input circuit.
To meet CE electromagnetic compatibility
requirements for emissions Class B, install a
ferrite suppression module from kit 02192 on
each sensor patch cord as close to the instrument
as possible.
NOTE: For ultrapure water conductivity
measurements with all-plastic piping, especially
semiconductor wet benches, it is recommended
to connect a jumper from one of the three earth
ground terminals to sensor ground terminal
SIG6(6) on TB3 for Channel A. This will prevent
possible instrument damage due to electrostatic
charges that build up in plastic piping systems.
Do not use a ground jumper with higher
conductivity water, with metal piping or with pH or
ORP measurements.

CHAPTER 3: USING THE 2000
APPLYING POWER TO THE 2000
After applying power to the meter, the display will
show an introduction message for three seconds
and then begin making measurements. This
message shows the model number and the
software version number as follows:
In the menus, an underline cursor and flashing
(bold) characters will indicate a field that can be
changed. A typical menu appears as follows:
SP1=17.00 M High
68XX Ver X.X
While the message is being displayed the
instrument is performing self diagnostics. Various
circuits are tested during this process and any
failure will be noted with a message. The
diagnostics can be repeated at any time via the
menus.
The default measurement display is the primary
readings from the sensors on channel A and B as
shown below:
A1.76µS B2.11µS
All 2000 meters are calibrated from the factory
and normally require no further calibration. If
QA/QC practice requires it, the instrument be
calibrated after installation. See Chapter 8 for
more information on meter calibration.
THE DISPLAY
The 2000 uses a 1 line by 16 character
alphanumeric display to convey all measurement
and setup information. This instrument will display
one or two measurements, each with channel
indication and unit of measure. A typical display
of measurement data is:
This menu indicates that setpoint #1 is
programmed at a value of 17.00 M (million) and is
set as a high limit. The cursor is under the digit
“7” indicating that the UP and DOWN keys can be
used to change it. The RIGHT and LEFT keys will
move the cursor to the next or previous field.
Display Contrast Adjustment
The contrast quality of the display can change
with ambient temperature. The display contrast is
adjusted from the factory for operation at
standard room temperature (25°C). If the meter is
operated at an ambient temperature that is much
different then it may be necessary to make an
adjustment. A potentiometer is accessible from
the back side of the instrument to change the
contrast. Use a small slotted screwdriver to gently
turn the potentiometer. A counter-clockwise turn
will increase the contrast and a clock-wise turn
will decrease the contrast. The rear panel is
shown in Figure 3.1.

INSTALLING A SENSOR
Each sensor is equipped with a cell and
temperature sensor (except ORP). Conductivity
sensors have calibration constants for these
elements that must be programmed into the
meter for proper operation. These factors are
printed on the sensor (as well as a Certificate of
Calibration supplied with each conductivity
sensor). The label may look like this:
RES M=1.0034 TEMP M=1.0015
RES M is the conductivity cell constant, and
TEMP M is the temperature sensor constant. pH
preamps will have a pH A (adder) constant. Long
life 367-110 dissolved oxygen sensors have Cell
M (multiplier), Cell A (adder) and TEMP M
(multiplier) constants. See ENTERING/ EDITING
CELL CONSTANTS in Chapter 9 for information
on entering cell constants.
Each of the four calculated measurements can be
one of the following:
1. pH
2. ORP (redox potential)
3. Resistivity
4. Conductivity
5. Total Dissolved Solids (TDS)
6. Degrees C

ALARM INDICATIONS
A setpoint can be programmed as a high limit, a
low limit, USP or EP (temperature-dependent
pharmaceutical water conductivity) limits. When a
measurement is higher than a high, USP or EP
point or lower than a low point then the setpoint is
in alarm state. This condition is indicated by
flashing the corresponding measurement value in
the normal operating display. See Chapter 5:
Using Setpoints.

CHAPTER 4: MAKING MEASUREMENTS
MEASUREMENT PROCESS
The 2000 will process two measurements from
each of the two channels. The measurements of
each channel are referred to as the primary and
the secondary measurement. The instrument will
process a total of four different measurements
per cycle.
Measurements are designated as follows:
A = channel A primary measurement
a = channel A secondary measurement
B = channel B primary measurement
b = channel B secondary measurement
Upper case letters indicate primary
measurements and lower case letters indicate
secondary measurements.
MEASUREMENT TYPES
Each of the four measurements (channel A
primary, etc.) is programmed as one of the
following with corresponding 1 or 2-character
display:

pH is displayed with fixed range. ORP is
displayed in fixed range millivolts (mV).
Resistivity
Resistivity is expressed in ohms-centimeter (Ω-
cm). This measurement can be displayed with a
prefix in front of the units. The prefixes are k (kilo
or 1,000) and M (Mega or 1,000,000).
The display can be set for a fixed range such as
Ω-cm, KΩ-cm (1,000Ω-cm), or MΩ-cm (Mega or
1,000,000Ω-cm). The 2000 can also be set for
auto ranging where the range will be
automatically adjusted for the most appropriate
display. The range is set via the measure mode
menus.
1,000,000 Ω-cm = 1,000 KΩ-cm = 1 MΩ-cm
Conductivity
Conductivity is expressed in siemens per
centimeter (S/cm) and is the reciprocal of
resistivity. This measurement can be displayed
with a prefix in front of the units. The prefixes are
m (milli or 1/1,000) and µ (micro or 1/1,000,000).
The 2000 can also be set for auto ranging where
the range will be automatically adjusted for the
most appropriate display. The range is set via the
measure mode menus.
1 S/cm = 1,000 mS/cm = 1,000,000 µS/cm
Conductivity may also be expressed in siemens
per meter
units as described above. To clearly distinguish
these units in the 2000 display, the symbol “Σ” is
used in place of “S”. In operation, microsiemens
per meter is displayed as µΣ.
(S/m) with a multiplier in front of the
Total Dissolved Solids
Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) is another way to
measure and display conductivity/resistivity data.
TDS is the equivalent of Sodium Chloride (NaCl)
required to produce the measured conductivity-approximately 0.46 ppm TDS per µS/cm. If some
Chapter 4 Making Measurements 13
other conversion is desired, it is necessary to
adjust the cell constant to give direct readout. For
example, if a conversion of 0.6 ppm TDS per
µS/cm is desired, the cell multiplier to be entered
into the 2000 is 0.6/0.46 x Multiplier on sensor
label. See Chapter 9, Entering/Editing Sensor
Constants.
TDS is measured in parts per billion (ppb), parts
per million (ppm), or parts per thousand (ppk). A
TDS reading of 10 ppm is equivalent to 10
milligrams per liter. Because of space limitations,
the following abbreviations are used to display
TDS units:
PB = parts per billion
Temperature
Temperature can be measured in degrees
Celsius (°C) or degrees Fahrenheit (°F). The
2000 normally works with a 1000 ohm DIN
platinum RTD sensor which is built into Thornton
most conductivity, dissolved oxygen, dissolved
ozone and most pH sensors. Alternatively, the
2000 can automatically recognize and measure
with a 500 ohm Ni-Fe RTD temperature sensor.
When configured for a 50/cm constant cell only,
the 2000 automatically changes its characteristic
to measure from the 262 ohm @ 25°C thermistor
supplied in those sensors.
PM = parts per million
PK = parts per thousand
Dissolved Oxygen
Dissolved oxygen can be measured in units of
parts per billion (ppb), parts per million (ppm),
and grams per liter (g/L), with or without autoranging between micro and milli (grams per liter).
Abbreviations used in the display mode are pb,
pm, µg and mg, respectively. Note that dissolved
oxygen uses lower case pb and pm to distinguish
it from TDS which uses upper case PB and PM.
NOTE: Select dissolved oxygen as a
measurement after connecting the probe. This
initiates an automatic internal preamp calibration
for highest accuracy at startup and will display
“Saving Changes” for an extended period.
Otherwise, the system will initiate calibration by
itself 1 hour later.
Dissolved Ozone
Dissolved ozone can be measured in units of
parts per billion (ppb) with resolution of 1 ppb or
in units of parts per million (ppm) with resolution
of 0.01 ppm. Abbreviations for units in the normal
display mode are z and Z respectively.
NOTE: Select dissolved ozone as a
measurement after connecting the preamp. This
initiates an automatic internal preamp calibration
for highest accuracy at startup and will display
“Saving Changes” for an extended period.
Otherwise, the system will initiate calibration by
itself 1 hour later.
% Rejection
For reverse osmosis (RO) applications, percent
rejection is measured in conductivity to determine
the ratio of impurities removed from product water
to the total impurities in the incoming feed water.
The formula for obtaining Percent Rejection is:
[1 - (Product/Feed)] X 100 = % Rejection
Where Product is the conductivity measurement
of the first sensor and Feed is the conductivity of
the second sensor. Figure 4.1 shows a diagram
of an RO installation with sensors installed for
Percent Rejection.

IMPORTANT: When preparing the system to
perform a percent rejection measurement, the
product monitoring sensor must be installed in the
channel that will measure percent rejection. If the
product conductivity sensor is installed in channel
A, then percent rejection must be measured in
channel A. Likewise if the product sensor is
installed in channel B, then the percent rejection
REJECT

14 Making Measurements Chapter 4
measurement must also be programmed in
channel B.
Difference (A-B or B-A)
The difference measurement is computed as:
Difference on channel A = A-B.
or
Difference on channel B = B-A.
When the difference is assigned to one channel,
the meter will measure the same type of
measurement mode of the other channel as a
basis. For example, if channel A is set to
measure the difference and channel B is
measuring conductivity, then the 2000 will
measure conductivity on both channels before
computing the difference. The displayed unit for
difference is ‘d’.
Ratio (A/B or B/A)
This measurement is similar to the difference
measurement.
Ratio on channel A = A/B.
Ratio on channel B = B/A.
The displayed unit for ratio is ‘r’.
Concentrations
(%HCl, %NaOH, %H2SO4)
All concentrations are displayed as percent by
weight. Setting a measurement for concentration
automatically activates specialized temperature
compensation for that particular material. The
compensation setting is ignored for that channel.
Power Plant Calculated Parameters
The following derived parameters are valid only
for power plant cycle chemistry samples
conditioned by a cation exchanger (and
sometimes a degasifier) as illustrated in Figure
4.2. They are not applicable to other samples and
would give very erroneous results elsewhere.
Because the 2000 can provide two
measurements from a single sensor channel, it
can be configured to display two conductivity
measurements, sample temperature and
calculated pH or CO
measurements.
2
Calculated pH may be obtained very accurately
from specific and cation conductivity values when
the pH is between 7.5 and 10.5 due to ammonia
or amines and when the specific conductivity is
significantly greater than the cation conductivity.
The 2000 uses this algorithm when CALCPH is
selected using the Measure Mode key for the
channel measuring cation conductivity.
For example, set up measurement ‘A’ to be
specific conductivity, measurement ‘a’ to be
temperature, measurement ‘B’ to be cation
conductivity and measurement ‘b’ to be
calculated pH. Set the temperature compensation
mode to “Ammonia” for measurement ‘A’ and to
“Cation” for measurement ‘B.’
Note that if operation goes outside the
recommended conditions, a glass electrode pH
measurement is needed to obtain an accurate
value. On the other hand, the calculated pH
provides an accurate standard for one-point trim
calibration of the electrode pH measurement
when sample conditions are within the ranges
noted above.
Carbon dioxide may be calculated from cation
conductivity and degassed cation conductivity
using tables from ASTM Standard D4519. The
2000 has these tables stored in memory which it
uses when units of CO2ppb are selected under
the Measure Mode key.
For example, set up measurement ‘A’ to be cation
conductivity, measurement ‘a’ to be CO2ppb,
measurement ‘B’ to be degassed cation
conductivity and measurement ‘b’ to be
temperature. Set the temperature compensation
mode to “Cation” for both conductivity
measurements.
Total anions as chlorides or sulfates may be
readout on a degassed cation conductivity
sample using tables from ASTM Standard D4519.
The 2000 has these tables stored in memory
which it uses when selected under the Measure
Mode key by choosing units of “Clppb” or
“SO4ppb” for parts per billion chlorides or
sulfates. Conductivity is non-specific and cannot
determine the actual anions present—it merely
converts the conductivity value as if they were all
chlorides or all sulfates. Set the temperature
compensation mode to “Cation”.
The display units for these derived parameters
are given below.

SELECTING A MEASUREMENT TYPE
To set or change a measurement type for each of
the four measurements:
Press the MEASURE MODE key and the display
will show the measurement type assigned to
channel A primary. The display may appear as:
The field on the right half side of the display is the
range field. Some measurements can be set for a
fixed range, others can be set only for auto
ranging. For example, conductivity can be set for
micro, milli, units, or auto ranging. To change the
field, use the RIGHT arrow key to move the
cursor under “(Auto)”. Use the UP and DOWN
arrow keys to select the desired range.
A = Ω-cm (AUTO)
This menu indicates that channel A primary
measurement is set for resistivity (Ω-cm) with
auto ranging. The section “Ω-cm” is the first field
to be changed and will be flashed as long as the
cursor is under it. Pressing the UP arrow key will
change the “Ω-cm” to “S/cm”.
The OK/NEXT key is used to accept the entry for
channel A primary and move to the next menu for
setting channel “a” secondary. Press the
OK/NEXT key a third and fourth time to set the
measurement types for channel B primary and
channel “b” secondary, respectively.
When the last menu level is reached (after setting
channel “b” secondary), the following message is
displayed:
A = S/cm (AUTO)
Use the UP and DOWN arrow keys to select the
desired measurement type.
For dissolved oxygen, the sensor should be
connected to the 2000 before selecting this
parameter because the 2000 performs a DO
preamplifier calibration when it is saved (and at
hourly intervals thereafter). Also for this reason
there is a long delay in the saving process.
For conductivity, both temperature compensated
and uncompensated measurement are available.
Uncompensated readings are needed to meet
pharmaceutical water requirements. Select units
of “S/cm” for compensated measurement or “s/cm
U” for uncompensated measurement. Using both
primary and secondary parameters, both
compensated and uncompensated
measurements are available simultaneously. In
normal operation, uncompensated measurements
are identified by a flashing cursor under the units,
for example, “µ
are identified by “µS”.
Another option for conductivity is to display in
units of siemens per meter
SI metric system. The Menu setting is
s”. Normal compensated readings
in accordance with the
Pressing the OK/NEXT key will save the changes
and exit the menus. The UP and DOWN arrow
keys can be used to change the “Yes” to “No”.
Pressing the OK/NEXT key with “No” will discard
the changes and exit the menus.
CELL CONSTANTS
The calibration of each measurement is defined
by a set of constants known as cell constants.
There are two cell constants for each
measurement: a Multiplier Factor and an Adder
Factor. They are used to derive an accurate
measurement from the sensor’s output signal. As
an example, the output of a conductivity sensor
can be represented by the following equation:
R = x / M + A
Where:
R = resistivity value
x = output from cell
M = multiplier factor
Save Changes Yes
A = S/m (AUTO)
The measurement mode will display it as “µΣ” or
“mΣ”.
Chapter 4 Making Measurements 17
A = adder factor
Example: for a typical two-electrode conductivity
sensor the multiplier (M) is 0.1 and the adder (A)
is 0. If the sensor output is 120,000 ohms, then
the actual resistivity of the solution measured is
1.2 Mohm-cm and is calculated as follows:
R = x / M + A
R = 120,000/0.1 + 0
The range is 0 - 99%/°C with a default value of
2%/°C.
R = 1,200,000
R = 1.2 Mohm-cm
NOTE: The adder is zero only for two-electrode
conductivity, resistivity and ORP sensors.
The cell constants can be modified via the
menus. For more information see
ENTERING/EDITING CELL CONSTANTS in
Chapter 9.
Cation Compensation
Power industry applications for cation conductivity
measurements with acidic samples are accurately
compensated with this setting. It takes into
account the effects of temperature on the
dissociation of pure water with the presence of
very dilute acids. See ASTM Standard D6504 for
recommendations on this measurement.
Semiconductor acid etch rinse operations are
also more accurately monitored using this setting.
CONDUCTIVITY TEMPERATURE
COMPENSATION
Conductivity, resistivity and TDS measurements
can be compensated for temperature.
Compensation will adjust the measurement to
give an equivalent reading of the solution at 25°C.
For example, the resistivity of ultrapure water at
25°C is18.18 MΩ-cm. The resistivity of ultrapure
water at 30°C is 14.08 MΩ-cm. By compensating
the resistivity reading, the value of pure water will
continue to read 18.18 MΩ-cm.
The 2000 can use one of nine different
compensation methods: standard, linear, cation,
ammonia, alcohol, Light 84, 50% glycol, 100%
glycol or none. Channels A and B can be
programmed with different compensation
methods.
For pharmaceutical USP <645> and EP
conductivity measurements where
uncompensated measurement is required, select
None for compensation. For simultaneous
uncompensated and compensated
measurements, see SELECTING A
MEASUREMENT TYPE earlier in this chapter.
Standard Compensation
The standard compensation method includes
compensation for non-linear high purity effects as
well as conventional neutral salt impurities and
conforms to ASTM standards D1125 and D5391.
Ammonia Compensation
Power industry applications for specific or direct
conductivity on samples with ammonia or ETA
(ethanolamine) are accurately compensated with
this setting. It takes into account the effects of
temperature on the dissociation of pure water
with these very dilute bases.
Alcohol Compensation
This compensation provides for the temperature
characteristic of a 75% solution of isopropyl
alcohol in pure water used for some rinsing
operations in semiconductor manufacture.
Compensated measurements using this solution
may go well above 18 Mohm-cm.
Light 84 Compensation
This compensation matches the earlier high purity
water research results of Dr. T.S. Light published
in 1984. It is provided only for use by institutions
that have standardized on that work. For all other
pure water and general purpose applications,
Standard Compensation (1994 high purity water
research of Thornton & Light) is recommended.
Glycol Compensation
This compensation matches the characteristics of
50% and 100% ethylene glycol in deionized water
cooling/antifreeze solutions.
Linear Compensation
The raw resistance measurement is
compensated by multiplication with a factor
expressed as a “% per °C” (deviation from 25°C).
Setting conductivity compensation
Enabling the compensating feature is done via
the menus as follows:

PH TEMPERATURE COMPENSATION
The 2000 Instrument provides two types of pH
temperature compensation, described in following
sections. If a temperature sensor is not included
in a particular pH probe, a manual temperature
setting or the temperature from the other channel
sensor may be used instead. See Chapter 11.
With ORP measurement, temperature is not
measured or compensated.
The cursor will be initially placed under channel.
Use the UP and Down arrow keys to change the
channel if desired. Use the RIGHT arrow key to
move the cursor to the method field. Use the UP
and DOWN arrow keys to scroll through the list of
available methods: “Standard”, “Linear”, “Cation”,
“Alcohol”, "Light84", “Glycol 100%”, “Glycol 50%”,
“Ammonia”, or “None”. Selecting “None” disables
the compensation feature. Press the OK/NEXT
key to accept the selection. If “Linear” is selected
then another menu will be displayed where the
linear value can be entered. This menu will
appear as (the actual value may be different):
A: Comp = 2.000%/°C
Adjust the numerical field as desired using the
arrow keys and press OK/NEXT when done. After
setting the compensation state for channel A,
repeat for channel B. Press OK/NEXT when
done. The meter will ask if changes should be
saved.
Save Changes Yes
Press OK/NEXT key to save changes and return
to the display of measurement data.
Compensation Indication
When displaying measurements, the 2000 will
indicate that a measurement is NOT
compensated by displaying a flashing underline
cursor at the units character. The following
display shows that channel A is compensated
and channel B is not compensated (the character
“µ
” has a blinking underline cursor).
Conventional pH Electrode
Temperature Compensation
Electrode Temperature Compensation (Nernst
Response) is provided in most pH instruments.
All pH electrodes produce a millivolt signal with
gain proportional to the absolute temperature.
Electrode temperature compensation normalizes
that variable millivolt output to give pH values.
The default and normal operating setting of the
instrument has this compensation active. Some
specialized measurements may need to disable it
by accessing the "Compensation" setting via the
MENUS key. Compensation for each channel
may be individually turned on or off.
pH Solution Temperature
Compensation
Solution Temperature Compensation allows
settings for compensation of the variable
ionization of pure waters. The change is so small
in more conductive waters that it is usually
ignored, but for high purity water, it is significant.
It is used in addition to the conventional (Nernst)
compensation, described above, which is
normally active. Solution temperature
compensation is used primarily with power plant
and other pure water samples less than 30 µS/cm
conductivity. It references the pH of pure water to
25°C. All other applications should leave the
solution temperature coefficient (STC) set to its
default value of zero.
For pure makeup water or boiling water reactor
samples, the STC should be set to 0.016 pH/°C.
For ammonia, phosphate and/or amine-treated
samples the STC should be set to 0.033 pH/°C.
The appropriate setting for other pure water
Chapter 4 Making Measurements 19
compositions may be determined by developing
temperature vs. pH data for the particular sample
with the STC set to zero. The negative slope of
this data becomes the STC value.
Because Solution Temperature Compensation is
unique to the process sample and is different for
buffer solutions, it is not active during calibration.
The 2000 ignores the STC during calibration. For
this reason, the reading in a buffer solution after
calibration may not be the exact value entered.
To read and verify the exact buffer value,
temporarily set the STC to zero.
Setting 50/60 Hz Operation
To set the appropriate filter, press the MENUS
key and the following menu will appear:
Menus use arrows
Press the DOWN arrow key until the “Set
Frequency” menu is displayed.
Set Frequency
The Solution Temperature Coefficient setting is
accessed via the MENUS key / Spec pH Function
/ STC=0.000 pH/C for each channel.
pH Isopotential Point
The isopotential Point, IP, is left at the default
setting of 7.0 for all Thornton and other
conventional pH sensors. Special purpose pH
electrodes with zero potential at values other than
7 pH will have this identified in their instruction
manuals. A different IP setting will allow proper
temperature compensation of these special
electrodes. The IP setting is accessed via
MENUS key / Spec pH Function / IP = 7.000 pH
for each channel.
DISSOLVED OXYGEN TEMP. &
PRESSURE COMPENSATION
For dissolved oxygen and ozone, temperature
compensation is automatically provided for both
the changing permeation rate of gas through the
membrane and for its changing solubility in water.

Use UP or DOWN arrow keys to set the desired
frequency. Press the OK/NEXT key when done.
The meter will ask if changes should be saved.
Save Changes Yes
Press OK/NEXT to save changes and return to
the measurement mode.
For dissolved oxygen, during air calibration, the
effective oxygen concentration is affected slightly
by the barometric pressure. Therefore the
barometric pressure should be entered before
calibration.
AC POWER FREQUENCY
The 2000 meter was designed to reduce
fluctuations in measurements by eliminating noise
pickup from the AC power line. The meter can be
set to filter either 50Hz or 60Hz power. Factory
settings are 60 Hz for 90-130 VAC models and 50
Hz for 180-250 VAC models.
20 Making Measurements Chapter 4
CHAPTER 5: USING SETPOINTS
4. b - Channel b secondary
OVERVIEW
A setpoint is a limit or alarm point applied to a
measurement. A setpoint can be programmed as
a high limit, a low limit, a USP limit or an EP limit.
(A USP or EP setpoint is a high alarm used for
pharmaceutical water monitoring, described later
in this chapter.) When the measurement value is
higher than a high setpoint, or lower than a low
setpoint, a setpoint error condition exists. The
meter will indicate this condition by blinking the
measurement on the display. The 2000 can also
be programmed to control a relay upon this error
condition. Refer to Chapter 6 for more information
on relays.
Four setpoints are available and can be assigned
to any of the four measurements (A, a, B and b).
More than one setpoint can be assigned to the
same measurement and more than one setpoint
can activate the same relay.
The following parameters can be programmed for
setpoint operation:
1. The assigned signal:
or b) is monitored by the setpoint.
2. The setpoint value:
that triggers the setpoint error condition, with
prefix.
3. The setpoint type:
WFI or EP PW.
4. The assigned relay:
controlled when a setpoint error occurs (this
is optional).
5. Operation on overrange
setpoint will be active when the
measurement is outside its range — yes or
no.

SETPOINT SIGNAL
The setpoint signal is the measurement that will
be monitored by the setpoint. The signal can be
any of the measurements:
1. A - Channel A primary
2. a - Channel a secondary
3. B - Channel B primary
SETPOINT VALUE
The setpoint value is the limit that will trigger a
setpoint error condition. This number is entered
as a four digit number with a suffix.
NOTE: The correct units multiplier suffix must be
entered or the setpoint will not function properly.
The suffixes are:
“µ” (micro) = multiply value by 0.000001
-
6
(10
).
“m” (milli) = multiply value by 0.001 (10-3).
“-” (blank) = multiply value by 1
“K” (kilo) = multiply value by 1,000 (103).
“M” (Mega) = multiply value by 1,000,000 (106).
For example, a setpoint value of 18.18M is
equivalent to 18,180,000.
When programming the setpoint values with TDS
units, the following prefixes should be used (parts
per million is the basis):
m = parts per billion
_ = parts per million
K = parts per thousand
For ppm or ppb dissolved oxygen or ozone, the
ppm or ppb units are the basis and “_” should be
set as the units multiplier suffix.
For g/L dissolved oxygen, g/L is the basis and a
unit multiplier suffix of m - milli or µ - micro should
be used.
SETPOINT TYPE
The setpoint type can be “High”, “Low”, "USP" or
“Off”. A setpoint error condition occurs when the
measurement is above the high or USP limit or
below the low limit.
ASSIGNED RELAY
The assigned relay will change state according to
the setpoint condition. When a setpoint error
condition exists, the assigned relay will change
Chapter 5 Using Setpoints 21
state. If the relay is normally closed, then it will be
opened.
Default settings after a system reset: Setpoints
are disabled, no signals assigned, no relays
assigned and values are zero.

USP & EP SETPOINTS
USP & EP type setpoints provide a high alarm
used for pharmaceutical water monitoring with
non-temperature compensated conductivity
measurements. USP (United States
Pharmacopoeia) section <645> and European
Pharmacopoeia require that non-temperature
compensated conductivity of pharmaceutical
waters must be below a limit from tables based
on the temperature of the sample. In other words,
pharmaceutical requirements temperature
compensate the limit rather than the
measurement.
The 2000 instrument has these pharmaceutical
limit tables in memory and automatically
determines the conductivity limit based on the
The pharmaceutical setpoint value entered into
the 2000 is the percentage safety margin below
the limits to activate the setpoint. For example,
the USP table conductivity limit at 15°C is 1.0
µS/cm. If the setpoint value is set at 40% then the
setpoint will activate whenever the conductivity
goes above 0.6 µS/cm at 15°C.

Conductivity Limits as a Function of
Temperature
To configure a pharmaceutical setpoint, use the
previous procedure but select USP, EP WFI or
EP PW instead of High or Low. When selected,
the display appears as:

Using the arrow keys, enter the percent safety
margin below the USP conductivity limit desired.

CHAPTER 6: USING RELAYS
DESCRIPTION
The 2000 is equipped with up to four relays. Each
relay can be programmed to activate when a
setpoint is exceeded (defined as a setpoint error
condition). The programmable parameters for a
relay are:
1. Delay Time: up to 999 seconds
2. Hysteresis Value: up to 99%
3. State: normal or inverted
ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
For units equipped with two relays, each one has
a common connection, a normally open
connection and a normally closed connection.
Units with 3rd and 4th solid state relays have only
a common connection and a normally open
connection as shown in Table 2.1.
NOTE: Hysteresis does not function (has no
effect) with USP setpoints.
RELAY STATE
The relay can be programmed for normal or
inverted operation. When the relay is in the
inverted state, the relay operation is reversed.
When there is no setpoint error condition the
relay is activated. The normally open contacts are
closed.
WARNING: RELAYS WILL ALWAYS DEENERGIZE ON LOSS OF POWER,
EQUIVALENT TO NORMAL STATE,
REGARDLESS OF RELAY STATE SETTING.
HOWEVER, THE SETTING IS RETAINED ON
RESTORATION OF POWER.
Default settings after the system reset:
1. Relay is disabled.
2. Delay is 0 seconds.
DELAY TIME
Delay time is the length of time that the setpoint
must be exceeded continuously (in a setpoint
error condition) before activating the relay. When
the setpoint error condition occurs, the delay
timer is started. If during the delay time the
setpoint error condition no longer exists, the delay
timer is reset and the relay will not be activated.
The maximum delay time is 999 seconds (16
minutes and 39 seconds).
HYSTERESIS
The hysteresis value is entered as a percentage
of the setpoint value. For a high setpoint, the
measurement must fall more than this percentage
point 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: a high setpoint is set at 100 and the
measurement is currently above this value so the
setpoint error condition exists. If the hysteresis
value is 10% then the measurement must fall
below 90 before the relay is deactivated.
3. Hysteresis is 0%.
4. Relay state is normal.

CHAPTER 7: USING ANALOG OUTPUTS
The output will remain at 4mA when it is disabled.
DESCRIPTION
An analog output is an isolated current signal that
is proportional to any measurement. The two
2000 analog outputs have a minimum value of
4mA and a maximum value of 20mA (the signal
can be re-calibrated to 0-20mA when needed,
see ANALOG OUTPUT CALIBRATION later in
this chapter). Each output can be scaled to a
range of a measurement signal with either linear
or bi-linear scaling. See Chapter 2 for electrical
connections.
To use analog outputs, the following parameters
must be configured:
1. Assigned Signal
proportional to the value of the assigned
signal. Any of the four measurements (A, a
B, b) can be assigned to the output.

The next menu is used to assign a measurement
signal to the output. The choices are: A, a, B, b,
and _. The selection of “_” is used to disable the
output by not assigning a signal to the output.
This menu is used to set the measurement value
that will correspond to a 4mA output. Set the
desired value. The last position in this menu is
the suffix which can be one of the following:
“µ” (micro) = multiply value by 0.000001
(10-6).
“m” (milli) = multiply value by 0.001 (10-3).
“_” (blank) = multiply value by 1.
“K” (kilo) = multiply value by 1,000 (103)
“M” (Mega = multiply value by 1,000,000 (106)
When programming the analog output scaling
limits with TDS units, the following suffixes should
be used (parts per million is the basis):
m parts per billion
_ parts per million
K parts per thousand
For ppm or ppb dissolved oxygen or ozone, the
ppm or ppb units are the basis and “_” should be
set as the units multiplier suffix.
For g/L dissolved oxygen, g/L is the basis and a
unit multiplier suffix of m - milli or µ - micro should
be used.

Bi-Linear Scaling
Bi-linear scaling of an analog output signal
enables high resolution data acquisition at the low
end of a range yet includes on-scale records of
higher measurements from the same 4-20 mA
signal. For example, with a dissolved oxygen
measurement normally in the 0 to 200 ppb range,
this range can be set as the scaling for the lower
half of the analog output signal (4-12 mA) as
shown below. The upper half of the signal (12-20
mA) can be scaled for 200 to 10,000 ppb to allow
tracking the progress of de-oxygenation during a

CALIBRATION
The analog output signals have been factory
calibrated to specifications and normally do not
require any further adjustment. To match other
equipment, they may be re-calibrated in a two
step process where 4mA and 20mA levels are
adjusted. A current meter is connected in series
with the output. The arrow keys are then used to
adjust the current output for the appropriate level
(4mA, then 20mA).
Use the UP and DOWN keys to select the desired
output channel number (1 or 2). Press the
OK/NEXT key to proceed to the next menu.
1:Adj 4mA=10641
Use the UP and DOWN keys to adjust the output
current for a 4mA level (as measured by the
current meter). The number displayed is an
arbitrary value proportional to the analog output
signal, near 10,000 for 4 mA, near 0.000 for 0 mA
and near 55,000 for 20 mA. Adjusting a more
significant digit of this number will change the
output signal level faster. Adjust a less significant
digit for closer resolution.
Press the OK/NEXT key when done adjusting the
4mA or 0mA output. The next menu is for
adjusting the 20mA output.
1:Adj 20mA=54091
Adjust the 20mA level in a similar manner. Press
the OK/NEXT key when done adjusting the

The 4mA end of the signal can be calibrated
down to zero mA, where needed. With a 500 ohm
resistor across the output terminals, a 0-10 VDC
signal may also be obtained.
For NIST traceability, the outputs can be
calibrated with any NIST-calibrated current meter.

CHAPTER 8: METER CALIBRATION
Standards for verification or calibration of
OVERVIEW
The 2000 meter is factory calibrated within
specifications. It is not necessary to perform
meter re-calibration unless extreme conditions
cause out of specification operation shown by
Verification (see CALIBRATION VERIFICATION
section). Periodic verification/re-calibration may
also be necessary to meet Q.A. requirements.
ALWAYS perform a verification before
considering a meter calibration. If within
specification do not perform a meter calibration.
CAUTION: Do not perform a meter calibration
unless a Thornton calibrator or precision
decade box is connected. Factory calibration
cannot be restored in the field.
The 2000 meter is re-calibrated for
conductivity/resistivity by installing a known
resistance value in place of the cell and using the
calibration menus to complete the process. The
meter is designed for calibration at six points for
conductivity/resistivity and two points of
temperature (on each channel) as shown in Table
8.1. The second column of the table indicates the
calibrators that are applicable for a region of
measurement. Note that a single
conductivity/resistivity calibration covers both
Channels A and B at one time but separate
temperature calibrations are required on each
channel.

calibrators in Table 8.1. High Resistivity Kit 186505 includes 1864-05,-06,-12. Low Resistivity Kit
1865-06 includes 1865-07,-08,-09.
If measurements will always be within a certain
range, only that range requires calibration. For
example, if measurement will always be >200K
ohms, as with ultrapure water, only the >200K
ohm range requires calibration.
CAUTION: Calibrators are for calibrating
conductivity/resistivity measurements only.
Do not connect a calibrator to a patch cord
wired for pH, ORP, dissolved oxygen or ozone
sensors.
If decade boxes are used, connect per Figure
14.10, shown for channel A, and similarly for
channel B (temperature only).
NOTE: To display the actual value of a calibration
device, use the Calibration Verification menu
described in the next section.

meter will now display the actual values of the
calibrator. A typical display may appear as:
A10.04MΩ 1.003KΩ
The first number is the measured value of the
conductivity/resistivity input and the second
number is the measured value of the temperature
input. Compare these numbers with the values
printed on the label of the verifier/calibrator as
well as on the Certificate of Accuracy supplied
with it. Values should be within ±0.5%. Press any
key to end this menu. Other
calibration/verification values may be checked in
the same manner. If within specification, do not
perform a calibration.
CALIBRATION PROCEDURE

proceed to the next menu.
For the following example "Temp" is selected for
calibration.
Cal A #1: Temp
Step 4: Enter the calibrator value:
A Temp =1.0000K
This menu is used to enter the value of the
calibrator (printed on the label as well as the
Certificate of Accuracy supplied with the
calibrator). The display will show a nominal value
but the actual value of the calibrator must be
entered. Use the UP and DOWN keys to change
the digit. Use the RIGHT and LEFT arrow keys to

As with the 1st calibration point, the meter will
now display the measured value of the calibrator
as follows:
A= 1.0003KT Ω OK?
The instrument will display the value of the
calibrator as measured by the meter. it is
important to wait for this displayed measurement
to stabilize. The reading may fluctuate slightly but
the changes should be no more than +
(least significant). For example, in the display
above the reading may fluctuate from 1.0002K to
1.0004KΩ. It is recommended that you wait at
least 30 seconds to be certain that the
measurement has settled.
To discontinue the calibration, press any of the
menu keys. To proceed with the calibration
process (after the readings have stabilized),
press the OK/NEXT key.
Step 6: Perform the calibration:
The calibration process may take a few seconds
to complete. When the instrument is done, the
following message will be displayed.

Press the OK/NEXT key to save the changes and
return to the display of measurement data.
The calibration process is complete for the
temperature circuit of one channel. Repeat this
process for the other channel temperature, if
used, and for the conductivity/resistivity points.
Reminder: due to entered cell constants and
temperature compensation, the meter will only
read the exact connected calibrator value in the
“Verify” mode.
Do point #2 No
Press the OK/NEXT key to save the new
calibration factor and return to the measurement
mode. Otherwise, use the UP and DOWN arrow
keys to change the “No” to “Yes” and press the

Special Temperature Calibration
NOTE: If using 2_8 series Dot Two cells with Ni-
Fe 500 ohm RTD, substitute a decade box with
500 ohms for 0°C and 735 ohms for 100°C in
place of the calibrators in the previous procedure.
Voltage Calibration for pH, dissolved
oxygen, dissolved ozone and ORP
It is generally not necessary to calibrate the
voltage range which is used for these
measurements. Sensor calibration is performed
frequently in NIST traceable pH buffer solutions,
air or other standard and will override any voltage
calibration. (The pH scale is defined by response
in NIST standard reference materials and air
provides a very reliable oxygen standard.)
The voltage input is also used with ORP sensors.
To calibrate the voltage range, use a stable
voltage source and precision voltmeter and
connect as given in Figure 14.10. Follow the
procedure above, selecting "Volts" as the signal
to be calibrated. A two-point calibration should be
done near -400 and +400 mV. A 2000 meter
voltage calibration cannot be done at zero
millivolts.

CONDUCTIVITY/RESISTIVITY CELL
CONSTANTS
Best performance is normally obtained by
entering the factory-documented cell constants in
the Entering/Editing Cell Constants sections
below. Cell constants are provided on the label of
the sensor cable and on their certificates of
calibration.
Use the UP arrow key to select the desired
channel/type (“A Cell”, “A Temp”, “B Cell”, “B
Temp”).
The next field selects either the Multiplier, M, or
the Adder, A, factor.
A Cell M=.10000_
However, if the sensor’s performance is not
acceptable then it can be calibrated. It is
important to ensure that the meter is properly
calibrated and that a very accurate standard
solution is available before performing a sensor
calibration described in this chapter.
Upon the installation of a conductivity cell, the cell
constants must be entered into the meter.
Channel A has two cell constant types: one for
the resistivity/conductivity sensor and one for the
temperature sensor. These constants are referred
to as “A Cell” and “A Temp”, respectively. Each of
these types has a Multiplier and an Adder cell
constant. Channel B has similar constants (“B
Cell” and “B Temp”). The Adder factors are left at
zero for 2-electrode conductivity/resistivity
sensors.
The procedure to enter and edit constants is as
follows:
Press the MENUS key and the following menu
will appear:
Menus use arrows
Press the UP arrow key until “Edit Sensor Cal”
menu is displayed.
Edit Sensor Cal
Use the RIGHT arrow key to move the cursor to
the number field. Use the arrow keys to enter the
cell constants from the sensor label. The last
position in the menu is a unit prefix which should
be left at “_” (blank or units); although µ (micro),
m (milli), K (Kilo) and M (mega) are also
available.
After setting the desired value, the RIGHT arrow
key can be used to move the cursor back to the
channel/type field (1st field) so that the other
constants can be entered and edited. The
changes are recorded when you proceed to a
different constant.
Pressing the OK/NEXT key will accept all set
values. The meter will ask if changes should be
saved.

CONDUCTIVITY/RESISTIVITY SENSOR
CALIBRATION
Conductivity sensors can be calibrated with either
a one-point or two-point calibration process. For
conventional 2-electrode conductivity sensors
(240- and 243-series), a 1-point calibration is
recommended. For 4-electrode sensors (244series), a 2-point calibration requiring two
standard solutions is recommended for highest
accuracy.
Press the OK/NEXT key to access this menu
A Cell M=.10000_
34 Sensor Calibration Chapter 9
The solution(s) must be known with very high
accuracy (either resistivity, conductivity, °C or °F)
before the sensor can be calibrated. Calibration is
accomplished by entering the known solution
value into the meter and instructing the meter to
perform a calibration.
When a one-point conductivity calibration is
performed, the meter will compute a new
Multiplier factor. With a two-point calibration, the
meter will compute new Multiplier and Adder
factors.
Conductivity/resistivity sensor calibration cannot
be done if the MEASUREMENT menu is set for
non-temperature compensated conductivity (see
SELECTING A MEASUREMENT TYPE in
Chapter 4). If necessary, temporarily set the
instrument for compensated measurement for the
calibration. (Calibration can be done, if desired,
with Compensation set to “None”, accessed by

Chapter 9 Sensor Calibration 35
PH/ORP (REDOX) SENSOR
CALIBRATION
Overview
Periodic sensor calibration is necessary because
pH sensors have some variation in output which
can change over time, especially under harsh or
contaminating process conditions. The frequency
of calibration must be determined by experience
with a particular application. For example, begin
with daily calibration, then extend to weekly, then
to monthly, bi-monthly, etc. as allowed by the drift
experienced and process accuracy requirements.
Such a sequence is also appropriate since new
sensors will show some initial drift as they
acclimate to the process. The accuracy of
calibration is determined by the accuracy and
traceability of the standard buffer solutions used.
Calibration is accomplished by entering the
known value into the instrument and instructing it
to perform the calibration. When a one-point
calibration is performed, the instrument computes
a new Adder (standardize offset or zero)
constant. With a two-point calibration, the
instrument computes new Adder and Multiplier
(slope or span) constants. It should be noted that
a non-functional sensor can always be calibrated
at one point. Response to a changing process or
to a second calibration point is needed to ensure
the sensor is functioning.
standard(s). The sensor should be rinsed well
with deionized or distilled water before immersing
in each standard.
Before removing the sensor from the process for
buffer calibration, activating the 2000 HOLD
function will maintain analog outputs and alarm
relays in their existing condition. This should be
done to prevent disruption of the process.
Grab sample calibration allows the sensor to
remain in the process but is limited to a one-point
procedure. A sample is removed and measured
by a portable pH system that has been previously
calibrated in standard buffer solutions. The
process pH must be stable enough that there is
high confidence that a sample will be
representative of the on-line value. For pure
water samples (< 20 µS/cm conductivity), the
"grab sample" should be a flowing side stream
not exposed to air before measurement, to
minimize carbon dioxide contamination.
For stable processes, simply perform a one-point
calibration making the on-line measurement
agree with the grab sample. For a process that
can change pH significantly between the time the
grab sample is taken and measured and the time
the 2000 can be calibrated, the following steps
are recommended:
1. Record the displayed pH at the time the grab
sample is taken.
2. Measure the grab sample pH.
For ORP measurement, no sensor calibration is
recommended although it is possible. It is
recommended that the instrument read in
absolute millivolts established by factory meter
calibration. The Adder constant is set to the value
provided on the label on the preamp and the
Multiplier is left at 1.0. Standard ORP solutions
are available for checking operation of sensors,
however, their tolerance under process conditions
is generally too wide to be useful for calibration.
Two methods are used for pH sensor calibration:
buffer and grab sample. In some situations, it is
most convenient to do a grab sample calibration
on a routine basis. A two-point buffer calibration
may be performed at less frequent intervals to
provide full adjustment to sensor response.
Buffer calibration requires removal of the sensor
from the process and immersing it in standard
buffer solution. It may be done at one or two
points and gives the most direct traceability to the
3. Calculate the difference of the grab sample
pH minus the recorded process pH, retaining
the sign (positive or negative).
4. Add the difference value to the current
displayed process pH and immediately enter
the result as the calibration standard value in
the procedure.
Example:
1. The 2000 instrument reads 6.50 pH when
the grab sample is taken.
2. The grab sample measures 6.20 pH on the
portable system.
3. The difference is - 0.30 pH.
4. The current 2000 instrument reading is 7.00
pH so 6.70 pH is the value entered for onepoint calibration.

Press the MENUS key and the following menu
will appear:
Menus use arrows
Press the UP arrow key until “Edit Sensor Cal ”
menu is displayed.
Edit Sensor Cal
Press the OK/NEXT key to access this menu
ACell M=1.0000_
The cursor is initially under the channel/type field.
Use the UP arrow key to select the desired
channel/type (either “A Cell”, “A Temp”, “B Cell”,
“B Temp”).
In the next field, select the adder, A, factor.
A Cell A=.00300_
Use the RIGHT arrow key to move the cursor to
the number field. Use the arrow keys to modify
the number desired. The last position in the menu
is a unit prefix which should be left at “_” (blank);
although µ (micro), m (milli), K (Kilo) and M
(mega) are also available.
After setting the desired value, the RIGHT arrow
key can be used to move the cursor back to the
channel field (1st field) to enter the Adder for the
other channel, if used. The changes are
recorded when you proceed to a different
constant.
PH SENSOR DIAGNOSTICS
The Adder and Multiplier constants described
above can provide valuable preventive
maintenance information about the sensors.
The Adder factor (zero, asymmetry or
standardize offset) is an indication of how far the
sensor has drifted from the nominal zero starting
point, in pH units. It is recalculated after ever
calibration. Drift in this value is usually due to
aging or contamination of the reference electrode
portion of the sensor.
An offset of more than ±1 pH unit or a more rapid
change in this value is an indication that the
sensor should be replaced soon. The Adder
factor "A" can be viewed at any time in the Edit
Sensor Cal menu. However, the value must not
be changed in this menu or the sensor will have
to be recalibrated.
Because the 2000 meter is auto-ranging, when
the Adder Factor is very small, it may be
displayed in milli-pH units with an "m" prefix
following the numeric value. In this case the value
is very near the nominal zero offset.
The Multiplier (slope or span) is an indication of
the sensitivity of the sensor to changes in pH. It
has a nominal value near 1 and is recalculated
after every 2-point calibration. Reduction in this
value is usually due to aging, coating or hot
caustic attack of the glass measuring membrane
of the sensor.
A sensor with Multiplier value less than 0.90
should be replaced soon. The Multiplier "M" can
be viewed at any time in the Edit Sensor Cal
menu. The value must not be changed on this
menu (except at startup) or the sensor will have
to be re-calibrated.

Entering/Editing Long Life Dissolved
Oxygen Calibration Constants
Upon the installation of a 367-110 Long Life
dissolved oxygen sensor, its calibration constants
should be entered into the meter. (This is not
done for the 367-210 High Performance sensor.)
Channel A has two cell constant types: one for
the dissolved oxygen signal and one for the
temperature signal. These constants are referred
to as “A Cell” and “A Temp”, respectively. Each of
these types has a Multiplier and an Adder cell
constant. Channel B has similar constants (“B
Cell” and “B Temp”) though only one channel can
be used for dissolved oxygen measurement.
These constants provide pre-calibration of
temperature and dissolved oxygen for the specific
probe and amplifier.
The procedure to enter and edit constants is as
follows:
Press the MENUS key and the following menu
will appear:
Menus use arrows
Press the UP arrow key until “Edit Sensor Cal”
menu is displayed.
Edit Sensor Cal
Press the OK/NEXT key to save the changes and

Air Calibration
Dissolved oxygen sensor output will vary slightly
over time as the membrane and electrodes age.
Periodic calibration in air is needed at installation
and at intervals based on experience in the
particular application. The following procedure
should be performed quickly to minimize the
length of air exposure time. Short exposure
promotes fast recovery to low levels.
Sensor air calibration will change the Multiplier
value from the original factory value on the
sensor cable. This is normal and the factory
Multiplier value should not be used again.
For highest accuracy air calibration, determine
the absolute barometric pressure at the
instrument location from a calibrated barometer in
mm of mercury (1 bar = 750 mmHg).
Press the OK/NEXT key to access this menu
ACell M=.10000_
The cursor is initially under the channel/type field.
Use the UP arrow key to select the desired
channel/type (either “A Cell”, “A Temp”, “B Cell”,
“B Temp”).
The next field selects either the Multiplier, M, or
the Adder, A, factor.
A Cell M=.10000_
Use the RIGHT arrow key to move the cursor to
the number field. Use the arrow keys to enter the
cell constants from the sensor label. The last
position in the menu is a unit suffix which should
be left at “_” (blank or units) for the Multiplier. It is
normally set to m (milli) for the Adder.
After setting the desired value, the RIGHT arrow
key can be used to move the cursor back to the
channel/type field (1st field) so that the other
constants can be entered and edited. The
changes are recorded when you proceed to a
different constant.

CHAPTER 11: OTHER FUNCTIONS
AVERAGING
The 2000 has various levels of measurement
averaging or damping, each for specific
applications. The options are: low, medium, high
and special. Each channel can be assigned an
averaging level. The assigned averaging will
apply to both the primary and secondary
measurements of that channel. The averaging
setting is not functional for dissolved oxygen or
ozone measurements.
Low averaging is useful in applications that
require a fast response to changes in the system.
Medium and high averaging help to reduce
display fluctuations. The special averaging setting
is recommended for most conductivity/resistivity
applications. This method provides the most
reduction in display fluctuations, while retaining
fast response.
Special (Spec) averaging is self-adjusting. If a
large change in the measurement is detected,
then the meter will respond immediately to the
change (does not use any averaging). Small
changes to the measurement (i.e., system noise
less than 1%) will be highly averaged. If
measurement noise can exceed 1%, 0.15 pH or
15 mV, then special averaging should not be
used.
To set the averaging, press the MENUS key and
the following menu will appear:
Menus use arrows
Press the UP arrow key until the “Set Averaging”
menu is displayed.
A: Average = High
Use the UP and DOWN arrow keys to change the

Chapter 12 Troubleshooting 49
In this display, measurements could not be
measured or computed properly. This condition
could be caused by a disconnected or mis-wired
sensor, no sample at the sensor, too high or too
low sample conductivity or resistivity for the
sensor/instrument to measure, sensor failure, etc.
If the temperature display gives asterisks
indicating a problem with that measurement then
any temperature compensated measurement will
also display asterisks, even if it is otherwise OK.
“Check Setup” Message
The 2000 constantly checks the condition of the
setup data (setpoints, compensation methods,
etc.). If the meter detects an unauthorized change
in this data (i.e., corrupted data) then a message
will be displayed every few seconds as follows:
Check Setup
This message can be cleared by entering and
exiting any menu.

CHAPTER 13: SERVICE
FUSE REPLACEMENT
The 2000 is protected from accidental voltage
overloading, short circuits, and related damage
by a 1/4 amp time-delayed fuse (for 90-130 VAC
units only). The 180-250 VAC unit uses a 1/8
amp time-delayed fuse. The fuse is located on
the printed circuit board (PCB) inside of the case.
WARNING: FOR CONTINUED PROTECTION
AGAINST RISK OF FIRE, REPLACE ONLY
WITH FUSE OF THE SPECIFIED TYPE AND
CURRENT RATING.
To replace the fuse:
1. Disconnect all power to the 2000 unit before
proceeding.
2. Remove the two screws from the center of
the rear panel.
3. Slowly pull the rear panel assembly out of
the unit, no more than 1”.
4. Disconnect the two ribbon cables connecting
the case to the PCB.
5. The fuse is located near the transformer.
Remove the old fuse and replace it with one
with the same rating as indicated above.
6. Position the PCB near the case and connect
the two cables to the PCB. Make sure each
cable is properly seated and oriented.
7. Gently push the rear panel assembly back
into the case. Make sure the four mounted
posts align with the holes in the assembly.
8. When the assembly is properly seated, reinstall the two mounting screws.
9. Reconnect power to the meter.
FRONT PANEL CLEANING
Clean the front panel with a soft damp cloth
(water only, no solvents). Gently wipe the surface
and dry with a soft cloth.
REDUCING 2000 PATCH CORD
LENGTH
2000 patch cords are available in a variety of
standard lengths. Occasionally it is necessary to
reduce standard cord lengths to accommodate
system design. The following procedure outlines
how to terminate the end of the cable to assure
accurate system operation. The 2000 patch cords
include two (2) drain (bare) wires. It is essential
that these wires not make contact with each
other. Place insulating tubing over these wires.
CAUTION: If the wires are touching, it will
cause the readings to be inaccurate. Be sure
that the wires never make contact with each
other.
soldering iron & solder, wire markers (optional).
Procedure:
1. Measure the cable from the end connector to
the desired length and cut.
2. Strip outer jacket and shield 4 inches from the
end.
3. Cut at the jacket the orange, yellow and all
white wires that are outside the inner shield
DO NOT CUT the drain (bare) or the wires
enclosed inside the inner shield.
4. Strip the inner shield all the way to the jacket.
5. Strip all leads 1/4 inch and tin the inner
shield.
6. Slide clear insulating tubing over the inner
drain (bare) wire. Tuck the insulating tubing
under the jacket. THIS WIRE MUST NEVER
TOUCH THE OUTER SHIELD OR OUTER
DRAIN WIRE.
7. Place wire markers on leads if desired.
8. Wire the cable to the 2000 as indicated. See
Figure 14.8 and Table 2.5.
