2 Introduction
Data and functions
These operating instructions describe the
technical data and functions of the
DULCOMETER® Compact Controller,
measured variable: Inductive conductivity
2.1 Measured variables
The controller can process the following
measured variables:
nInductive conductivity
[ConI]
nResistance [RES]
nTDS value [TDS]
nSalinity [SAL]
Switching between measured variables
Use the key to switch between the con‐
troller's measured variables [ConI] , [RES] ,
[TDS] and [SAL] in the continuous display.
Depending on the measured variable set,
the settings of variables are changed or
the variables are hidden completely in the
[INPUT Ø TCOMP] menu and in the
[LIMIT] menu.
Measured variable: Inductive conductivity
[ConI]
Symbol displayed in the controller's dis‐
play: [ConI]
Units of measurement: μS/cm, mS/cm ,
S/cm. The measuring range is automati‐
cally detected and switched by the con‐
troller
Physical variable: specific electrical con‐
ductivity (K). Only this measured variable
and the correction variable
‘Temperature’
are emitted at the mA output, independ‐
ently of the measured variable set on the
controller. The setting of the measured
variable on the controller only affects the
layout of the display and not the output at
the mA output.
Measured variable: Resistance [RES]
Symbol displayed in the controller's dis‐
play: [RES]
Units of measurement: MΩcm, kΩcm,
Ωcm. The measuring range is automati‐
cally detected and switched by the con‐
troller
Physical variable: specific electrical resist‐
ance.
Calculating the specific resistance: ρ (Tref)
= 1/K (Tref)
Introduction
9

Measured variable: TDS value
Symbol displayed in the controller's dis‐
play: [TDS] (total dissolved solids)
Unit of measurement: ppm (mg/l)
Physical variable: Total of all inorganic
and organic substances dissolved in a sol‐
vent
Display range: 0 …. 2000 ppm
Temperature range: 0 … 35 °C
[TLIMIT↑] : ≤ 40 °C
Setting the TDS value displayed: You can
set a multiplicative factor
[TDS] in the
[INPUT] menu, with which the TDS value
displayed can be changed.
Displayed TDS value
[ppm] = К (25 °C)
[uS/cm] * TDS factor
Setting range of TDS factor: 0.400 …
1.000 (Default: 0.640)
Temperature compensation is always
linear on the TDS display with a reference
temperature of 25 °C.
Measured variable: Salinity (SAL)
Symbol displayed in the controller's dis‐
play: [SAL] units: ‰ (g/kg)
Physical variable: Mass of salts in one kg
of water given in PSU (practical salinity
units).
The salinity is derived from the conduc‐
tivity measured, with a specified non-
linear temperature compensation and a
reference conductivity (KCL).
Display range: 0 …. 70.0 ‰
Temperature range: 0 … 35 °C
[TLIMIT↑] : ≤ 35 °C
The salinity [SAL] is calculated based on
the
[Practical Salinity Scale 1978 (PSS-78)]

3.4 User qualification
WARNING!
Danger of injury with inadequately qualified personnel
The operator of the system / equipment is responsible for ensuring that the qualifi‐
cations are fulfilled.
If inadequately qualified personnel work on the unit or loiter in the hazard zone of
the unit, this could result in dangers that could cause serious injuries and material
damage.
– All work on the unit should therefore only be conducted by qualified per‐
sonnel.
– Unqualified personnel should be kept away from the hazard zone.
The pertinent accident prevention regulations, as well as all other generally
acknowledged safety regulations, must be adhered to.
