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 con-

ductivity sensor Swansensor Shurecon P and the flow cell

M-Flow PG.

Transmitter, flow cell and sensors are also available as single com-

ponents.

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

Signal

Outputs

Two signal outputs programmable for measured values (freely scal-

able, linear, bilinear, log) or as continuous control output (control

parameters programmable).

Current loop: 0/4–20 mA

Maximal burden: 510 Ohm

Third signal output with the same specifications as option.

(Only possible if no communication interface is used.)

Relays Two potential-free contacts programmable as limit switches for

measuring values, controllers or timer for system cleaning with au-

tomatic hold function. Both contacts can be used as normally open

or normally closed.

Maximum load: 1 A/250 VAC

Alarm Relay One potential free contact.

Alternatively:

 Open during normal operation, closed on error or loss of

power.

 Closed during normal operation, open on error or loss of

power.

Summary alarm indication for programmable alarm values and in-

strument faults.

8 A-96.250.321 / 191015

AMI Solicon4

Product Description

Input For potential-free contact to freeze the signal outputs or to interrupt

control in automated installations (hold function or remote-off).

Communica-

tion interface

(optional)

 USB interface to store logger data.

 RS485 interface with fieldbus protocol Modbus, Profibus DP or

Webserver connection via Modbus.

Safety

Features

No data loss after power failure. All data is saved in non-volatile

memory.

Over voltage protection of in- and outputs.

Galvanic separation of measuring inputs and signal outputs.

The analyzer is factory tested and ready for installation and opera-

tion.

Temperature

compensation

The mobility of ions in water increase with higher temperature

which enlarges the conductivity. Therefore, the temperature is mea-

sured simultaneous by an integrated Pt1000 temperature sensor

and the conductivity is compensated to 25 °C.

Measuring

principle

When a voltage is set between two electrodes in an electrolyte so-

lution, the result is an electric field which exerts force on the

charged ions: the positively charged cations move towards the neg-

ative electrode (cathode) and the negatively charged anions to-

wards 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 ap-

plies. From the total resistance R of the current loop, only the resis-

tance of the electrolyte solution, respectively its conductivity

, is

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 pro-

grammed in the transmitter, the instrument measures correctly. No

calibration must be done, the sensor is factory calibrated.

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].
