PRELIMINARY EXAMINATION
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
Remove the instrument from the packing
material and examine it carefully to make
sure that no damage has occurred during
shipping. If there is any noticeable damage,
notify your Dealer.
Note: Save all packing materials until you
are sure that the instrument functions
correctly. All defective items must be
returned in the original packing ma-
terials together with the supplied ac-
cessories.
The HI 8931 and HI 943500 are panel
mounted conductivity meters and control-
lers designed for simplicity of use in a wide
range of industrial process applications.
The instruments are designed with a stan-
dard DIN panel mount with membrane key-
pads on the front, a large LCD and with
auto-diagnostic functions.
Probes, power supply, contacts and record-
ers are connected on the rear panel through
screw terminals.
Using HI 8931 in conjunction with a 4-20 mA
output transmitter HI 8936 series (or HI 8936L
series, with LCD display) will assure you of
a strong, interference-free signal at distances
up to 300 meters (1000').
For in-line applications the probe should be
HI 7635 and for tanks HI 7638 with external
threads. These probes with built-in NTC sen-
sor, provide temperature compensated con-
ductivity measurements. The probe cable
length is 3 meters (10').

HI7638 Tank Conductivity Probe
HI7638 conductivity probe combines the
proven 4-ring potentiometric method of mea-
suring conductivity with the platinum sensor
and stainless steel external thread.
This method incorporates a series of four
platinum rings into the probe shaft and is
highly accurate requiring very little mainte-
nance.
The removable cover is made of Ultem®
which resists the harmful effect of most
chemicals and can be unscrewed for quick
and simple maintenance.
This probe can withstand temperatures of
up to 120°C (248°F) and pressure of up to 5
bar (72.5 psi).
This probe is supplied complete with a 7-pin
DIN connector.

HI 7635 In-line Conductivity Probe
HI7635 is a one piece, molded conductivity
probe with pipe threads (1" NPT) at both
ends.
This allows the probe to attach to an in-line
system, and to be used in conjunction with
the HI8936 conductivity transmitter.
The HI7635 uses a 4-ring potentiometric
measuring method. This method is highly
accurate and requires very little maintenance.
The construction of the housing is rugged,
fiber-reinforced polypropylene.
The maximum working pressure of this unit
is 5 BAR (72.5psi).
Do not use in systems where the tempera-
ture exceeds 80°C (176°F).

• Set Select
These contacts permit
the activation of a Set
Contact relay when the
measured value is
lower (connected termi-
nals) or higher (open
terminals) than the
user's set value. See
also page 27.
• Alarm Contacts
During normal opera-
tion these terminals re-
main open.
If the measured con-
ductivity level is not
within the tolerance of
the set value, the alarm
contact is closed. These
contacts act only as a
switch.
See also page 28.
• +4-20 mA
These are the output
terminals for connec-
tion to a recorder or
other control equip-
ment.
The output current varies from 4 to 20 mA
and is proportional to the measured con-
ductivity value.
CONNECTIONS
REAR CONNECTIONS FOR HI8931
• Power Connection Terminals
(4-screw terminal strip)
for connection to a 3-
wire power cable ac-
cording to the indicated
voltage (115V or 230V).
• IN/OUT Transmitter
2 wires of the 4-core signal cable from the
conductivity transmitter
(HI8936) have to be
connected to these ter-
minals and the other 2
wires to the "+20V" and
"COMM" paying care-
ful attention to the po-
larity.
+20V supply is the regulated DC supply
required for the operation of the external
Conductivity Transmitter HI8936.
• Set Contacts
Dosing pumps or other
control equipment may
be connected to the
"SET CONT" (Max. 2A,
220V) terminals. These
contacts act only as a
"dry" switch allowing
electrical continuity, not
as a power supply.

1918
tivity controller (see
also page 24).
The 4-core cable has
to be connected to the
transmitter according to
the label instructions on
the 4-terminal strip.
The regulated D.C. supply required for the
proper operation of the transmitter is
"+20V", labeled "+20V" and "COM". The
current (mA) output terminals are labeled
"4-20 mA" and "COM".
The transmitter is protected against inver-
sion of supply voltage.
• HI8936 used in conjunction with an ex-
ternal power supply
Use 2 PVC insulated
2-core cables.
Connect a +20V DC
power supply directly to
the terminals labeled
"+20V" and "COM", paying careful atten-
tion to polarity (see also page 24) or if
necessary in series with the receiving de-
vice.
The regulated D.C. supply required for the
proper functioning of the circuit is marked
"+20V" and "COM", and the transmitter
current output is indicated "4-20 mA" and
"COM".
The transmitter is protected against inver-
sion of supply voltage.
The power unit should provide a voltage
of +20V ±25%.
Max. current required: 40 mA.
TERMINAL BOARD CONNECTIONS
FOR HI8936
•Remove the 4 screws and the top cover of
the HI8936 conductivity transmitter to ob-
tain access to the terminal board connections.
