2. Product Description
2.1. Description of the System
This instrument is applicable for the measurement of the specific
conductivity in surface water, potable water and cooling water. The
complete system consists of the Transmitter AMI Solicon4, the conductivity sensor Swansensor Shurecon P and the flow cell
M-Flow PG.
Transmitter, flow cell and sensors are also available as single components.
Application
Range
Conductivity is a parameter for the total quantity of ions present in
the solution. It can be used for the controlling of:
the condition of waters
water purification
water hardness
completeness of ion analysis

Galvanic separation of measuring inputs and signal outputs.
The analyzer is factory tested and ready for installation and operation.
The mobility of ions in water increase with higher temperature
which enlarges the conductivity. Therefore, the temperature is measured simultaneous by an integrated Pt1000 temperature sensor
and the conductivity is compensated to 25 °C.
When a voltage is set between two electrodes in an electrolyte solution, the result is an electric field which exerts force on the
charged ions: the positively charged cations move towards the negative electrode (cathode) and the negatively charged anions towards the positive electrode (anode). The ions, by way of capture
or release of electrons at the electrodes, are discharged and so a
current I flows through this cycle and the Ohms law V = I×R applies. From the total resistance R of the current loop, only the resistance of the electrolyte solution, respectively its conductivity
of interest.
The cell constant of the sensor is determined by the manufacturer
and is printed on the sensor label. If the cell constant has been programmed in the transmitter, the instrument measures correctly. No
calibration must be done, the sensor is factory calibrated.

Product Description
Fluidics The flow cell M-Flow PG consists of the flow cell block [B] and the
calibration vessel [D].
The conductivity sensor [A] is fixed in the flow cell block [B] with a
threaded sleeve.
The sample enters at the sample inlet [F]. It flows through the del-
taT flow sensor [C] (if installed) and then through the flow cell block
into the calibration vessel [D], were the conductivity is measured.
The sample leaves the calibration vessel via flow cell block through
the sample outlet [E] and flows into the drain [G].

The instrument must only be installed by trained personnel.
Mount the instrument in vertical position.
For ease of operation mount it so that the display is at eye
level.
For the installation a kit containing the following installation
material is available:
– 6 Screws 6 x60 mm
– 6 Dowels
– 6 Washers 6.4/12 mm

The following description assumes that the installation of the deltaT
sensor takes place after commissioning of the monitor.
Install the deltaT sensor in vertical position with the sample inlet [F]

Make sure the power specification of the instrument corresponds to
the power on site.
WARNING
Risk of electrical shock.
Do not perform any work on electrical components if the transmitter is switched on. Failure to follow safety instructions could
result in serious injury or death.
Always turn off AC power before manipulating electric parts.
Grounding requirements: Only operate the instrument from
an power outlet which has a ground connection.
1 Remove the plug [A] from the cable gland [B]
2 Open the AMI transmitter housing.
3 Feed the sensor cable through the cable gland [B] into the
transmitter housing.
4 Connect the cable to the terminals according to the connecting
diagram see Connection Diagram, p. 27.
5 Close the AMI transmitter housing.

3.4.4 Adjust the deltaT sensor
The deltaT flow sensor is factory calibrated at 20 °C (± 20 % accuracy).
The accuracy of the flow measurement depends on the ambient
temperature of the location where the deltaT sensor is installed. If
the ambient temperature is higher or lower than 20 °C, the deltaT
flow sensor can be adjusted. If an adjustment of the deltaT sensor
is necessary proceed as follows:
Run in After installation let the sensor run-in for at least 1h.
Determine the
flow rate
Adjust slope 1 Navigate to <Installation/ Sensors / Flow>, choose <Slope> and
1 Put the sample outlet of the instrument for 10 min. into a mea-
suring cup with a sufficient volume.
2 To get the flow rate in l/h, multiply the amount of water con-
tained in the measuring cup with factor 6.
The flow rate in l/h results from the multiplication of the
amount of water after 10 min by 6.
press [Enter].
2 If the calculated flow rate is higher than the displayed flow rate
increase the Slope value.
3 If the calculated flow rate is lower than the displayed flow rate
decrease the Slope value.
4 Press [Exit] and save with [Enter].
5 Compare the calculated flow rate with the displayed flow rate.
If the flow rates are roughly equal, the adjustment is finished.
Else repeat step 1 to 5.

Program List and Explanations
As control
output
Signal outputs can be used for driving control units. We distinguish
different kinds of controls:
P-controller: The controller action is proportional to the devia-
tion from the setpoint. The controller is characterized by the
P-Band. In the steady-state, the setpoint will never be
reached. The deviation is called steady-state error.
Parameters: setpoint, P-Band
PI-controller: The combination of a P-controller with an
I-controller will minimize the steady-state error. If the reset
time is set to zero, the I-controller is switched off.
Parameters: setpoint, P-Band, reset time.
PD-controller: The combination of a P-controller with a
D-controller will minimize the response time to a fast change
of the process value. If the derivative time is set to zero, the
D-controller is switched off.
Parameters: setpoint, P-Band, derivative time.
PID-controller: The combination of a P-, an I - and a D-con-
troller allows a proper control of the process.
Parameters: setpoint, P-Band, reset time, derivative time.

Under normal operating conditions the contact is active.
The contact is inactive at:
Power loss

Note: Above definition assumes that the alarm relay is used as
normally closed (Terminals 10/11). If terminals 12/11 are used,
the alarm relay is normally open, then the above definition is
inverted. See also Alarm Relay, p. 29 and Connection Diagram,

Program List and Explanations
5.3.2.1 Function = Limit upper/lower:
When the relays are used as upper or lower limit switches, program
the following:
5.3.2.20 Parameter: select a process value
5.3.2.300 Setpoint: If the measured value rises above respectively falls below
the set-point, the relay is activated.
Parameter Range
Conductivity 0 S–300 mS
Temperature - 25 to +270 °C
Sample flow 0– 50 l/h
Cond. uc 0 S – 300 mS
5.3.2.400 Hysteresis: within the hysteresis range, the relay does not switch.
This prevents damage of relay contacts when the measured value
fluctuates around the alarm value.
Parameter Range
Conductivity 0 S–300 mS
Temperature - 25 to +270 °C
Sample flow 0– 50 l/h
Cond. uc 0 S – 300 mS
5.3.2.50 Delay: Duration, the activation of the alarm relay is retarded after
the measuring value has risen above/fallen below the programmed
alarm.
Range. 0–600 Sec

5.3.2.1 Function = Control upwards/ downwards:
The relays may be used to drive control units such as solenoid
valves, membrane dosing pumps or motor valves. When driving a
motor valve both relays are needed, relay 1 to open and relay 2 to
close the valve.
