2 Returns and disposal
2.1 Declaration of decontamination
For the safety of our employees and because of legal regulations we require a
signed "declaration of decontamination" before your return can be handled.
This signed declaration must be included with the shipping documents on the
outside of the packaging.
Any returns which were exposed to hazardous substances and were not
professionally decontaminated are not accepted and will be sent back at your
cost.
optek's declaration of decontamination and contact information can be found on
our website www.optek.com.
2.2 Disposal
Special legal regulations apply to the return and disposal of industrial waste
equipment. However, manufacturer and user can contractually agree on which
party is to fulfill these legal obligations.
Observe current national disposal regulations.
For disposing of packaging material, please separate materials:
• paper / cardboard
•plastic
For disposal, disassemble the system components and separate them

www.optek.com
3 Intended use
The converter is exclusively to be used as a converter for optek-sensor as-
semblies according to the technical data.
In connection with the inline sensors for turbidity, concentration and color, the
converter is used for displaying and processing of measuring results.
The converter is only applicable for sensors listed in the chapter "Technical da-
ta".
The converter is to be installed in a control cabinet, which provides an external
release device so that the converter can be switched voltage-free. Observe
chapter "Technical data".
The use in explosion proof areas is prohibited.
Unauthorizedconstructionalchanges, additionalfittings orrebuildings as wellas
changes to and interference with the converter program are prohibited.
The manufacturer is not liable for damage resulting from use contrary to inten-
ded use.
Following this instruction manual is part of the intended use.
The content of all serial number plates on optek products is model specific and
refers to the time of delivery.

4.1 General safety instructions
Only operate the converter when free from defects and in accordance with the
instructions provided in this manual.
Read this instruction manual prior to initial commissioning. This applies
especially to persons only operating the converter occasionally, such as
maintenance staff.
Observe all safety and information labels on the product and keep them in
readable condition.
Inspect the product for signs of physical damage. Report any damage
immediately and do not commission the product until corrective actions have
been taken.
After maintenance and repair, proper function as well as the fulfillment of the
safety requirements and testing must be guaranteed.
Protect the converter from impacts causing corrosion or preventing components
from working properly.
Have faulty parts of the measuring system replaced immediately.
Spare parts must comply with the technical requirements defined by optek. This
is always guaranteed when using original spare parts.
For maintenance and repair activities, attach a warning sign to the external
release device to prevent re-commissioning of the converter.
When malfunctioning, take the product out of operation. Have the malfunctions
repaired immediately by a qualified electrician.
The safety instructions are to be supplemented with the current national
regulations on accident prevention.

4.2 Safety instructions for works on electrical equipment
Work on electrical equipment has to be carried out by qualified electricians only.
The power line connection of the converter must be specified correctly to
prevent overload.
Disconnect the voltage supply before connecting the power line. Only connect
the power line when voltage-free. Do not use the terminal socket for release
since no first-to-mate last-to-break protective ground contact is provided.
Do not work on live active parts of the electrical equipment. When working on
the electrical equipment, observe the following safety regulations:
1. Switch voltage-free.
2. Protect against re-commissioning.
3. Check if voltage-free.
4. Cover live parts.
5. Earth and short-circuit.
In case of faults in the power supply, disconnect the converter immediately.
In case of a short-circuit, there is a danger of sparking and fire.
Use only original fuses with specified current and triggering characteristics!
When a fuse has to be exchanged, first try to detect the cause and clear the fault
before exchanging the fuse.
When work on live parts is necessary, use insulated tools only.

5 Description of the converter
The converter is an universal device designed for process monitoring and con-
trol of an optek-sensor assembly.
Fig. 1 156 converter
The converter determines the change of light intensity by means of photocurrent
transmitted by the sensor. After taking the logarithm, a measurement signal
proportional to the concentration in the process medium is obtained. The 156
provides four defined and one variable measuring range to be adjusted to your
specific process parameters. The LED indicator indicates the percentage of the
selected measuring range. For connection to the process control system, the
156 converter is equipped with two independent setpoints and a
4 - 20 mA-output for alarms and real-time process monitoring. An additional
relay output (failsafe) gives alarm in case of lamp or power failure. Basic system
calibration is carried out in concentration units (CU).
The converter complies with the highest security standards. The device com-
plies with the requirements of the EMC Directive in accordance with CE.
