Part A: SciCon II Hardware Overview
The SciCon II consists of two major components, the SciCon II Conductivity Monitor, with its power supply,
and the Single-use SciCon II Sensor, with its cable.
The Monitor is a small desktop package with a backlit display and seven buttons for easy interface and menu
selections. It displays conductivity and temperature in real time in both digital and analog format. The
monitor’s output is also available in digital and analog formats, RS-232 and 4-20 mA. It comes with a small
100-240 VAC wall adapter as a power supply.
The single-use SciCon II Sensors utilize four gold plated electrodes in a polysulfone sensor body available in
five sizes: Luer, 3/8” or 1/2" hose barb, 3/4" and 1” “Ladish” Sanitary TC connections.
For accurate measurements it is important that the sensors, solution and environment are allowed to
equilibrate. If not done, the measurements will drift as the equilibration occurs during the run.
All are pre-calibrated at the factory and retain the calibration data on a small chip embedded in the sensor
body. The following information is retained and is accessed upon connection to the sensor:
 ID number (Contains Size, Index, Unique Identifier, and Calibration date)
 Calibration Factor
 Temperature Offset

14
Front Panel: Data Entry & Display
The front panel consists of a user interface, which includes an alphanumeric display and a membrane keypad
to select operational modes and alarm settings. The display is a two-line, 20-character, liquid crystal display
(LCD). The display is backlit to allow easy viewing over a wide range of lighting conditions.
The keypad consists of seven keys whose function does not change. These keys are used for basic control and
programming of the SciCon II. The basic key definitions are:
MENU Allows entry into the parameter settings menu.
ENTER Accepts the selected parameter setting.
EXIT Exits the menu, returning to the main operational screen.
SENSOR Recaptures the factory calibration settings stored on the sensor.
ON/STBY Turns the monitor on and off.
Up and Down arrows used to change parameters within the menus.
One LED is also on the front panel, on the ON/STBY key. This indicates the monitor is connected to power.

15
Back Panel: Interface Options
The SciCon II back panel provides interfacing ports for:
C/T Port: The SciCon II conductivity sensors are connected here using the included cables.
Output: Female DB25, Provides two 4-20 mA analog outputs, (18 bit resolution) for Conductivity and
Temperature, and TTL outputs for the 4 alarms, Hi/Low Conductivity, Hi/Low Temperature. TTL outputs
provide a 5 VDC control signal, carry minimal current. (See Pin out on next page.)
Printer/PC: RS232 output, Female DB9, A printer cable (P/N 080-096) is required to make the connection
between the printer and the SciCon II, or a Parker RS-232 to USB adapter cable (P/N 080-USB) to connect the
SciCon II to a PC for data archival.
Serial I/O: Female DB9, Reserved for future use.
USB: RS-232 output identical to Printer / PC port.
12 VDC/500 mA: Round connector for AC power supply.

16
Pin Out of the DB25 female “Output” connector:
For 4-20 ma output of Conductivity (Analog 1), use pins 2 (4-20 -) and 14 (4-20 +). If excitation is needed in the
loop, connect pin 1 (Vpwr) to pin 14 (4-20 +), and connect the output (signal) cable to pin 2 (4-20 -) and pin 15
(Gnd).
For 4-20 ma output of Temperature (Analog 2), use pins 4 (4-20 -) and 16 (4-20 +). If excitation is needed in
the loop, connect pin 3 (Vpwr) to pin 16 (4-20 +), and connect the output (signal) cable to pin 4 (4-20 -) and pin
17 (Gnd).
Analog outputs 3 and 4 are not utilized in the SciCon II.
TTL Outputs:
Hi Conductivity Alarm: TTL 1 Pins 11 (Out0) and 13 (Gnd)
Lo Conductivity Alarm: TTL 2 Pins 24 (Out1) and 13 (Gnd)
Hi Temperature Alarm: TTL 3 Pins 12 (Out2) and 13 (Gnd)
Lo Temperature Alarm: TTL 4 Pins 25 (Out3) and 13 (Gnd)
TTL outputs are either 0 or 5 VDC and carry minimal current. They are for TTL inputs on a PLC, or control of a
5 VDC solid state electronic relay.
