6. In-Line Installation
Most of the Conductivity/Resistivity electrodes used with the CDTX-285X
can be installed into standard 3/4 in. (NPT or ISO 7-R3/4) fi ttings.
The CDTX-285X models are designed for integral systems,
where the electronics are attached directly to the sensor.
The preferred installation for in-line applications directs fl ow
straight into the electrode. This confi guration reduces the
probability of entrapped air bubbles, and provides the best
continuous sampling of the fl uid content.
If the electrode is mounted vertically in a tee, do not recess the
electrode orifi ces inside the tee. Mounting upside down may help
prevent air entrapment.
An oversized tee or fl ow cell may be helpful for inline installations.
At least 4 threads (ANSI B1.20.1) must be engaged to meet the
pressure rating as published in the specifi cations.
Use the CDTX-285X-RM models for in-line installations
where the electronics must be separated from the electrode.
Conductivity electrodes with sanitary fl ange fi ttings must be
installed using this option.
7. Submersible Installation
While the CDTX-285X and CDTX-2850-RM
electronics cannot be submerged, either model
will accommodate tank installation.
Select any electrode with a 5 m (15 ft.) cable.
The cable may be cut to length,
but it CANNOT BE EXTENDED.
The universal adapter included with
CDTX-285X-RM models can be attached to the
top of a tank or mounted to a surface near the tank.
Adapt the CDTX-285X models to tank installations
by attaching a clamp to the conduit.

9. Cell Constant Selection
Cell Constant Selection
• The CDTX-285X is shipped from the factory with the custom cell
constant and temperature offset programmed into the single-input
electronics. SW3 will be preset to "Custom cell constant".
• Switch banks SW3 and SW4 are used to select the cell constant
of the electrode. The Dual Input model is illustrated. Single input
models use only SW3.
• Make all switch settings before connecting power. Switch changes
made with the power ON will take 15 to 20 seconds before
becoming effective.
• Use SW3 #1-3 to select the cell constant for the fi rst sensor.
• Use SW3 #4 to disable the PT1000 Temp Compensation function
in the CDTX-285X (as required for USP applications).
This disables the function for BOTH INPUTS.
• Use SW4 #1-3 to select the cell constant for the second sensor.
• Set SW4 #4 to OPEN to disable the second input.

10. Range Selection for 4 to 20 mA Output
• The Range selection switch bank (SW2) provides eight range selections for each cell constant.
Each range can be inverted, making a total of 16 range options.
• Select a range from the table below and set SW2 as indicated.

Example (refer to shaded selections of chart):
• The electrode installed is the CDE-2852, with a 0.10 cell constant.
• The required output is 4 to 20 mA = 0 to 100 S.
• Set SW2 switch bank to C-C-O-O.
• To invert range (4 to 20 mA = 100 to 0 S), close switch #4.

11. Calibration
• All CDTX-285X Conductivity/Resistivity Sensor Electronics are factory calibrated for maximum out-of-the-box accuracy.
• The EasyCal feature allows calibration to be performed at the sensor.
The CDE-285X Conductivity sensors come with a certifi cate of calibration. This certifi cate provides information regarding the actual
cell constant and temperature offset as tested and verifi ed according to NIST standards. This information has been programmed into
the CDTX-285X electronics as its default factory value. If required, the sensor can be recertifi ed by contacting Omega.

12. EasyCal
EasyCal is a single-point calibration system. During this procedure, if the measured value is within ±10% of any of the test values
listed below, the CDE-285X will automatically recognize the test value and calibrate the output to that value.
Note:
The fi rst step (Reset) is recommended each time an electrode is replaced, but is NOT necessary upon initial installation or periodic
calibration.
1. Reset the CDE-285X to factory calibration: Set all switches on SW3 (and SW4 for dual input) to OPEN. Apply power, wait at
least 3 seconds, then press and hold SW1 until the LED (D3) comes on steady then goes off again (approx. 10 seconds).
When the LED goes off, release SW1; reset is complete. Reset SW3 and SW4 to the proper settings.
2. Place the electrode/sensor assembly into the conductivity test solution appropriate to your operating range.
Shake the electrode to dislodge any air bubbles visible on the surface of the electrode.
• Allow at least 2 minutes for the electrode response to stabilize.
f
3. Press and hold SW1 for approximately 8 to 10 seconds. During this time, the LED will come on steady then go back off. (If the
LED blinks several times rapidly, the calibration was not successful. See the troubleshooting section).
Calibration is complete. Return the system to service.

13. Maintenance
• The CDTX-285X requires no periodic maintenance.
• Coatings on the electrode may cause slow response or drift.
• Clean metallic surfaces with a mild detergent and a non-abrasive brush or cotton swab.
14. Troubleshooting
LED and Output ConditionPossible CausesSuggested Solutions
Current Out:
LED off, current output is 22 mA
During EasyCal, the LED blinks rapidly
for 4 seconds
After completing calibration procedure,
the output values are inaccurate
The output of the CDTX-285X indicates
a value that is off by a factor of 10
(e.g. 10x, 100x the correct value)
• SW3 and SW4 set to all OPEN
(factory setting)
• No electrode installed
• SW3 (and SW4) not set correctly
• System not ready
• Measured value of the test solution is
outside the ±10% tolerance
• The electronics or the electrode is
defective
• Insuffi cient time allowed for electrode
stabilization during calibration procedure
• Test solutions are contaminated
• EasyCal performed with temp comp
OFF, then temp comp turned ON for
measurement (or vice versa)
• The cell constant selection on the
CDTX-285X (SW3 or SW4) does not
match the actual input
• Normal for new system
• Install electrode
• Set SW3 and SW4 correctly
• Retry (recycle power)
• Use fresh test solutions and restart the
calibration
• Replace the electronics or the electrode
• Recalibrate and wait at least 2 minutes
after placing electrode in solution
before pressing SW1
• Use fresh test solutions and restart the
calibration
• Match the CDTX-285X switch settings
to agree with the sensor being used
