3. Assembly and starting for the first time

1. Screw the feedwater hose (Part 2) to the cartridge inlet. With cartridges with quick­connects, plug the hose on so that there is an audible click.

2. Make contact to the water tap:
Connect the R ¾“ connecting spout on the other end of the feedwater hose to a water
tap that can be turned off.

With instrument versions of article numbers: 04.1807(-SV and -SVE) - Control 330 with
solenoid valve, plug transformer and integrated switchbox for connection to the
solenoid valve:
First connect the solenoid valve to the water tap with the R¾“ connecting spout.
Following this, connect the R¾“ male thread on the other end of the hose to the
solenoid valve.

3. Hold the wall mount at the selected position, mark where to bore, insert plugs and fix
tightly with the screws supplied.

4. Stick the smooth Velcro strip to the holder and the rough Velcro strip to the instrument.

5. Hang the conductivity meter (Part 5) on.

6. Cartridges with ¾“ connector:
Fix the measuring cell (Part 4) to the cartridge outlet with the R¾“ coupling nut, then
screw the purified water hose (Part 3) to the ¾“ male thread of the measuring cell.
Lead the other end of the purified water hose to the user or the storage tank.

Cartridges with quick-connects:
Fit the quick-connect connector of the purified water hose (with the measuring cell)
onto the outlet of the cartridge so that there is an audible clicking into position. Lead the
other end of the purified water hose to the user or the storage tank.

7. Connect the cable from the measuring cell (Part 4) to the
lower right socket of Control 330 (Part 5).

8. Connect the plug transformer to a suitable electrical socket
(see Technical (see Specifications) and to the lower left
socket of Control 300.

Safety precaution

Ensure that the cable connection does not allow liquid to run into the inside of the
Control 300 conductivity meter!

8

Conductivity meter
TKA Control 330

9. Set the display mode required, the limiting conductivity value and, if appropriate, the
limiting temperature value.

10. Open the water tap until the water deionizing cartridge has become filled and air-vent it
with the venting screw. Purified water can now be taken from the end of the purified
water hose.
(Switching of decimals are automatically)

Important note: an exact conductivity value can only be read off during withdrawal.

After long downtimes (because of holidays, for example), re-ionization effects can cause the
conductivity to increase and even reach the limiting value. Please then rinse the system for as
long as it takes for a relevant conductivity value to be shown in the display.

4. Operation

O

When the instrument is switched on, all segments of the 7-segment display are shown
for 3 seconds. During this time, the complete measurement cycle is run through and
tested.

In the basic setting, the display shows the conductivity in µS/cm. The display is
automatically scaled in the range from 0.055 to 199 µS/cm.

The upper rows of LED's show the measurement mode at which the instrument is
currently in. The appropriate LED lights up green to show the measurement unit (µS/cm,
MΩxcm or °C).

The value 200 is shown in the display when the measurement range is exceeded.

Should there be an interruption between the instrument and the sensors, then the red
"Status Sens." LED lights up and "---" is shown in the display instead of a measured
value. A buzzer is additionally activated in the case of an interruption in the connection
to the measurement sensor.

Quit-key:

The acoustic signal (buzzer) that is given when a fault occurs can be switched off with
the Quit/UP-key. The acoustic signal is then no longer active until the limiting value is
gone below. If a solenoid valve is attached, this is again opened.

13

Conductivity meter

TKA Control 330

4.1 Menu

The menu consists of three sub-prompts; switching to the dual-mode and selection of the
measurement unit for the conductivity measurement, the limiting value setting for the
conductivity and the limiting value setting for the temperature.

Mono/ Dual-measuring mode:

Mono-measuring mode: In this mode only the conductivity is displayed.

The temperature can be read as long as the Enter-key is
pressed.

Dual-measuring mode: In this mode the temperature and the conductivity are
alternately displayed every 2 seconds. the LEDs for the
measurement unit switch correspondingly with the
display.

When the menu-key is pressed once, the measurement mode just set is shown. The up-

and down-keys allow switching between the permanent conductivity display and the

alternating conductivity/temperature display. The display shows "c" for conductivity or

"ct" for conductivity/temperature.

At the same time a choice can be made between the measurement units µS/cm and

MΩxcm in this menu. The unit chosen must be confirmed by pressing the Enter-key, and

that chosen is shown by the corresponding LED.

The following combinations are so possible:

ct / MΩxcm

c / MΩxcm

up/down

ct / µS/cm

c / µS/cm (default)

4.2 Setting the limiting conductivity value

Setting range: 0.06 - 30 µS/cm

Basic setting: off

The limiting conductivity value can be set when the menu-key is pressed twice (the red

“Cond." LED lights up). The setting is made with the up- and down-keys. The particular

position that is to be changed can be selected with the Enter-key and flashes in the

display. When the wanted value is reached, then this must again be confirmed with the

Enter-key.

Should a value of 30.1 µS/cm be set, then the word OFF appears in the display and the

evaluation of the limiting value is switched off.

When the limiting conductivity value (Limit value Conductivity) is exceeded, then the red

"Cond." LED lights up and the exceeding of it is additionally signalled by a buzzer.

14

Conductivity meter
TKA Control 330

Only the buzzer is switched off by the quit-key, the "Cond." LED is not switched off until
the limiting value is gone below or the mains plug is unplugged.

Important note: The limiting value can only be entered in µS/cm.

4.3 Setting the limiting value for temperature

Setting range: 10 - 40°C
Basic setting: OFF

The limiting temperature value can be set when the menu-key is pressed three times
(the red “Temp." LED lights up). The setting is made with the up- and down-keys. The
particular position that is to be changed can be selected with the Enter-key and flashes
in the display.
When the wanted value is reached, then this must again be confirmed with the Enter­key.
Should a value of 41°C be set, then the word OFF appears in the display and the
evaluation of the limiting value is switched off.
When the limiting temperature value (Limit value Temperature) is exceeded, then the red
"Cond." LED lights up and the exceeding of it is additionally signalled by a buzzer.

4.4 Communication

The 04.1806 and 04.1807 versions have a potential-free contact available via the plug
transformer, article-no. 26.0034, as well as an RS 232 Interface.
The interface runs at a transmission rate of 9600 bits/sec., 8 data bits,
1 stop bit and no parity.

The conductivity in µS/cm and the temperature in °C are given out on the serial interface
separated by a comma. The conductivity is automatically scaled to three significant
figures. Output takes place once per hour.
When in operation, a press on the down-key triggers a measured value print-out on the
serial interface.

The SUB-D socket has the following assignment: PIN 2: TXD
PIN 3: RXD
PIN 5: GND
