6 Bases for measurement

6.1 Conductivity principles

Conductivity γ
Conductivity describes the capability of a material to conduct electrical current. It is also the inverse of specific resistance. The conductance is the inverse of the meas­ured resistance R.
Formula

6.2 Conductivity measurement

γ = l / (R*A)
l = length of the material
A = cross section
R = measured resistance
Unit [γ] = Siemens / metre = S / m
Normally, the values for liquids are specified in µS / cm or in mS / cm.
The conductivity measurement is a comparatively uncomplicated measurement. The standard electrodes are stable for correct use for a long time and can be calibrated over the gradient correction.
Range 1 2 3
0 to 2000 µS/cm 0.00 to 20.00 mS/cm 0 to 200 mS/cm
With the automatic range selection, the range with the best resolution is selected auto­matically.

6.3 Total dissolved solids / TDS measurement

The total dissolved solids measurement - TDS measurement - determines the total dissolved solids, which also called evaporation residue, based on the conductivity and a conversion factor CtdS of the total dissolved solids. Well-suited to conduct simple concentration measurements of salt solutions. The display shows mg/l
Range 1
0 to 2000 mg/l
Display value TDS = conductivity [in µs/cm, nLF temperature compensation at 25°C] * CtdS menu entry
With selection of TDS, the necessary temperature compensation is selected automat­ically. Menu settings for temperature compensation are ignored.
The following approximations apply:
CtdS
0.50 Monovalent salts with 2 ion types = NaCl, KCl or similar
0.50 Natural water of surface water, drinking water
0.65 to 0.70 Salt concentration of aqueous fertiliser solutions
NOTE
These are guideline values for estimates, but are not suitable for precise measure­ments. The conversion factor for the respective type of solution and the examined concentration range must be determined for precise measurements. This can take

LWT-100 Bases for measurement | 6
place with calibration to known comparison solutions or with actual evaporation of a certain amount of liquid with measured conductivity and subsequent weight of the total dissolved solids.

6.4 Salt content / salinity measurement

In SAL measuring mode, the salinity, which is the salt content of sea water, is determ­ined. The basis for this is the International Oceanographic Tables, IOT. Standard salt water has a salinity of 35 ‰, 35 g of salt per 1 kg of sea water. The display in % [g/kg] normally does not show units. The designation PSU, Practical Salinity Unit, is also commonly used; the display value is identical. The salinity measurement has temper­ature compensation, which means the temperature is considered for the display and has a major influence on the display value; any menu settings regarding temperature compensation are ignored.
NOTE
The salt composition of different seas is not identical. Depending on the location, weather, seasons, etc., there are considerable deviations from the 35 ‰ according to the IOT. The salt composition can also influence the relationship of the salinity display and the actual amount of salt present.
Corresponding tables are available for many salts in salt water aquarium applications. Salt weight to salinity according to the IOT or conductivity. In consideration of these tables, very precise salinity measurements can be conducted.

6.5 Electrodes / measuring cell

6.5.1 Design and selection

There are basically two different types of measuring cells: 2-pole and 4-pole measur­ing cells. Control and/or evaluation take place in a similar manner; the 4-pole measur­ing cells can compensate well for polarisation effects and contamination to a certain degree with the more elaborate measuring processes.
The product is equipped with a permanently connected 2-pole measuring cell.
2-pole measuring cell
4-pole measuring cell

6.5.2 Calibration / adjustment of the measuring cell

In harsh applications and due to ageing processes, the cell constant of measuring cells changes. Depending on the application and precision requirement, the overall precision of the display device and measuring cell measuring chain should be checked regularly. Special testing and calibration solutions, such as GKL 100, 101 and 102 are
B-H87.0.01.DB214-1.0 13 / 26
6 | Bases for measurement LWT-100
available for this purpose. In normal application conditions, semi-annual testing is re­commended; Adjustment of the measuring input [}p.20]. A system test by the man-
ufacturer is recommended in case of doubt; Calibration and adjustment service.
For this purpose, also refer to
2 Adjustment of the measuring input [}20]

6.6 Temperature compensation

The conductivity of aqueous solutions is temperature-dependent. The temperature de­pendency varies greatly according to the type of solution. With temperature compens­ation, the solution is calculated back to a uniform temperature in order to compare it independently of the temperature. The normal operating temperature for this is 25 °C.

6.6.1 NLF temperature compensation according to EN 27888

For most applications, such as fish husbandry applications and measurement of sur­face water and drinking water, non-linear temperature compensation for natural water
NLF is sufficiently accurate in accordance with EN 27888. The normal operating tem­perature is 25 °C. The recommended application range of NLF compensation is
between 60 µS/cm and 1000 µS/cm.

7.1 Operating and maintenance notices

NOTE
The product and conductivity measuring cell must be handled with care and used in accordance with the technical data. Do not throw or strike.
NOTE
If the product is stored at a temperature above 50 °C, or is not used for an extended period of time, the batteries must be removed. Leaks from the batteries are avoided as a result.
The device is calibrated at the factory with the permanently connected conductivity measuring cell. The highest system precision can be achieved in this manner. If de­sired, a gradient correction can be carried out for the product in order to further optim-
ise the accuracy in a narrow range. This is only necessary for normal use. See Adjust-
ment of the measuring input [}p.20].

7.2 Battery

7.2.1 Battery indicator

If the empty frame in the battery display blinks, the batteries are depleted and must be replaced. However, the device will still operate for a certain length of time.
If the BAT display text appears in the main display, the battery voltage is no longer ad­equate for operation of the product. Now the battery is fully depleted.

7.2.2 Changing battery

DANGER
Danger of explosion!
Using damaged or unsuitable batteries can generate heat, which can cause the batter­ies to crack and possibly explode!
– Only use high-quality and suitable alkaline batteries!
CAUTION
Damage!
If the batteries have different charge levels, leaks and thus damage to the product can occur.
– Use new, high-quality batteries!
– Do not use different types of batteries!
– Remove depleted batteries and dispose of them at a suitable collection point!

The most precise results can be achieved when the control solution temperature is ad­justed to 25 °C. With different temperatures, the table value of the corresponding tem­perature must be used as a setpoint.
Outcome of an action
The changed value is saved and the Configuration menu is closed.
NOTE
If the product is switched off without saving the configuration, the last save value is re­produced on the next start-up of the product.
