These operating instructions provide informa‐
tion on the technical data and functions of the
DULCOTEST® sensor for inductive conduc‐
tivity, ICT 5 and ICT-IMA.
Sensor type ICT 5 is designed for continuous
flow operation.
Sensor type ICT 5-IMA is integrated in an
immersion tube for immersion in a storage tank
and in an open channel.
The sensor records the electrolytic conductivity
of an aqueous process liquid online. Both types
of sensor work on the basis of an inductive
measuring principle. The sensor is almost
maintenance-free due to the inductive meas‐
uring process. Solid deposits and fatty or oily
films on the surface of the sensor have no
impact on its measuring precision. The sensor
is particularly suitable for measuring high con‐
ductivities of up to 2000 mS/cm. A stand-alone
temperature sensor (Pt1000) with a short
response time records the process tempera‐
ture. The temperature sensor is enclosed within
a protective stainless steel sleeve. Tempera‐
ture correction of the conductivity measurement
in the connected controller is provided for by
the temperature sensor (Pt1000).
You can also use both types of sensor in conta‐
minated water or in aggressive media, which is
chemically inert to PVC/EPDM and/or PP/
EPDM (depending on the design of the sensor).
1.1 Measuring principle
The electrolytic conductivity is measured with
an inductive sensor. The sensor contains a
transmission and receiver coil. Sine alternating
voltage feeds the transmission coil. A sample
flow is induced into the receiver coil depending
on the conductivity of the liquid to be meas‐
ured. The sample flow is proportional to the
conductivity of the medium.
Typical applications
The sensor is predominantly designed for appli‐
cations in water treatment and for water moni‐
toring, e.g.:
nContaminated waste water and process
water
nAir conditioning plants and chillers
nBlowdown control in cooling towers,
nFlushing baths,
nVehicle washing systems,
nSalt water desalination (feed),
nSwimming pool water control.

Introduction
1.2 Construction and function of the sensor
The inductive transducer of the two types of sensor ICT 5 and ICT 5-IMA consists of a hermetically
sealed polypropylene (PP) body. A transmission coil and a receiver coil are incorporated in the
transducer. A flow opening in the sensor (sensor eye) permits the measuring medium to flow
through. There is galvanic isolation between the sample medium and the signal output. A standalone temperature sensor (Pt1000) with a short response time records the process temperature. The
temperature sensor is enclosed within a protective stainless steel sleeve.

WARNING!
Danger from hazardous substances!
Possible consequence: Fatal or very
serious injuries.
Please ensure when handling haz‐
ardous substances that you have read
the latest safety data sheets provided
by the manufacture of the hazardous
substance. The actions required are
described in the safety data sheet.
Check the safety data sheet regularly
and replace, if necessary, as the
hazard potential of a substance can be
re-evaluated at any time based on new
findings.
The system operator is responsible for
ensuring that these safety data sheets
are available and that they are kept up
to date, as well as for producing an
associated hazard assessment for the
workstations affected.

Assembly and installation
Make sure that the medium flows correctly
through and around the sensor.
Maintain a minimum distance of 20 mm from
the sensor to the tube wall when installing in
pipework.
Minimum compensation will be achieved with
the “Installation factor” parameter if you cannot
adhere to these minimum spacings.
Provide a representative installation site for typ‐
ical conductivity and/or concentration when
immersing in a tank.
Installation site
Ensure that there is unimpeded access for sub‐
sequent calibration.
The mounting must be secure and low-vibra‐
tion.
