Overview
Ease of Use and Maintenance.
The Rosemount MCL features a Rosemount 499ACL-03
monochloramine sensor, a transmitter, and constant
head flow controller mounted on a backplate for easy
installation.
Integrated constant head flow controller eliminates the
need to install additional valves, rotameters, or pressure
regulators.
Easily replace and perform maintenance and calibration
on the sensor with quick-disconnect Variopol fittings.
Replacing sensor membrane and electrolyte solution
requires no special tools or fixtures and takes only
minutes.
Reliable Transmitter Options
Rosemount 56 and 1056 Transmitters are easy to use with
simple and intuitive programming and calibration.
Both transmitters have fully programmable analog
outputs and fully programmable alarm relays.

Rosemount MCL-1056 Engineering Specification
1. The system shall be suitable for the determination of
monochloramine in water without sample conditioning
reagents. Systems that use sample conditioning reagents
are not acceptable.
2. The system shall consist of a transmitter, a
monochloramine sensor, a ow cell for the sensor, and
a ow controller. The components shall be mounted on
a back plate. The sensor cable shall be pre-wired to the
transmitter and shall plug into the cable using a Variopol
quick disconnect tting. The ow cell shall be clear plastic
to allow the sensor to be easily inspected for fouling. The
inlet shall be tted with a check valve to ensure the sensors
remain wet in the event sample ow is lost.
3. The system shall use no mechanical devices, such as
pressure regulators, valves, or rotameters, to control ow.
Instead, ow shall be regulated using a constant head ow
controller. Minimum sample ow shall be not more than
about 3 gallons per hour (11 liters per hour). Maximum
ow can be as high as 80 gallons per hour (303 liters per
hour). The ow controller shall be able to handle inlet
pressure between 3 and 65 psig (122 and 549 kPa abs) and
temperature between 0 and 50 °C (32 and 122 °F).
4. The monochloramine sensor shall be a two electrode
membrane-covered sensor with a gold mesh cathode
and a silver/silver chloride anode. The ll solution shall
be a solution of potassium bromide in dilute acetic acid.
The sensor shall be tted with an RTD to allow continuous
correction for changes in membrane permeability caused
by temperature.
10. The transmitter shall have a four line, back-lit display. The
display shall show ppm monochloramine and temperature
on one screen. The user shall be able to customize the main
display to show additional information, such as raw sensor
current.
11. The transmitter shall be capable of operating between 0
and 55 °C (32 and 131 °F) and between 5 and 95% relative
humidity (non-condensing).
12. The transmitter shall have dual 0/4-20 isolated outputs.
Outputs shall be fully scalable and assignable independent
to monochloramine or temperature.
13. The transmitter shall have four alarm relays, fully
programmable for logic (high or low operation), deadband,
and set point. Relays can also be congured to energize
when the transmitter detects a fault with the sensor or the
transmitter.
14. All transmitter programming shall be through a front panel
membrane keypad. The language (English, Spanish, Italian,
Portuguese, German, or French) used in the menu screens
shall be selectable by the user.
15. The transmitter shall have a security feature to prevent
unauthorized tampering with calibration and conguration
settings.
16. The transmitter shall be Rosemount Model MCL-220.
5. The effect of pH on sensor response shall be less than 5%
between pH 7.0 and 10.0.
6. The linear range of the sensor shall be at least 0 to 6 ppm
as Cl2.
7. The linearity shall be about 2%.
8. The transmitter shall receive the raw signal from the
monochloramine sensor and automatically correct it for
temperature effects. Results shall be displayed as ppm Cl2.
9. The transmitter shall require single point calibration if the
expected monochloramine level is within the linear range
of the sensor. A correction for the sensor zero current shall
also be available.
