1.1 Scope of delivery
Please check the completeness of the delivery
once you have unpacked it. The scope of
delivery of the unit includes the following parts:
nPortamess 911 Conductivity (ready-to-use)
nSupport strap
nSensor LF 204
nOperating instructions
nField case
1.2 Brief description of the unit
The Portamess 911 Conductivity measures
conductivity, salinity, TDS and temperature in
the industrial, environmental, food and waste
water sectors.
The unit complies with the requirements of the
EMC Act and the NAMUR NE 21 recommenda‐
tions.
The unit’s degree of protection is IP 66
according to DIN EN 0470 Part 1.
Temperature compensation is provided auto‐
matically with a Pt 1000 temperature sensor, an
NTC 30 kΩ (automatic detection when switched
on) or by manual temperature specification.
Calibration can be done by direct input of the
cell constants, by calibration with calibration
solutions KCl 0.01 mol/l or 0.1 mol/l or with any
other calibration solution.
Uninterrupted operation of the unit for approx.
1000 hours is possible with 3 mignon batteries.
To save battery life, the unit automatically
switches off after 1 hours if it is not operated.

2.2 User qualification
WARNING!
Danger of injury with inadequately qualified personnel
The operator of the system / equipment is responsible for ensuring that the qualifications 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 personnel.
–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.
Training Definition
Instructed personnel An instructed person is deemed to be a person who has been
instructed and, if required, trained in the tasks assigned to him and pos‐
sible dangers that could result from improper behaviour, as well as
having been instructed in the required protective equipment and protec‐
tive measures.
Trained user A trained user is a person who fulfils the requirements made of an
instructed person and who has also received additional training specific
to the system from the manufacturer or another authorised distribution
partner.
Trained, qualified per‐
sonnel
A trained, qualified employee is deemed to be a person who is able to
assess the tasks assigned to him and recognize possible hazards
based on his training, knowledge and experience, as well as knowledge
of pertinent regulations. A trained, qualified employee must be able to
perform the tasks assigned to him independently with the assistance of
drawing documentation and parts lists. The assessment of a person's
technical training can also be based on several years of work in the rel‐
evant field.

Training Definition
Electrical technician An electrical technician is able to complete work on electrical systems
and recognise and avoid possible dangers independently based on his
technical training and experience as well as knowledge of pertinent
standards and regulations. An electrical technician must be able to per‐
form the tasks assigned to him independently with the assistance of
drawing documentation, parts lists, terminal and circuit diagrams. The
electrical technician must be specifically trained for the working environ‐
ment in which the electrical technician is employed and be conversant
with the relevant standards and regulations.
Service The Service department refers to service technicians, who have
received proven training and have been authorised by the manufacturer
to work on the system.
2.3 General safety information
WARNING!
Unauthorised access!
Possible consequence: Fatal or very
serious injuries
– Measure: Ensure that there can be
no unauthorised access to the unit
–Only trained personnel may fit,
install, service and operate this
sensor
CAUTION!
Functional limitations
Possible consequence: Slight or minor
injuries. Material damage
– Check the sensor regularly for dirt
and contamination
–Observe all applicable national
regulations relating to mainte‐
nance, service and calibration
intervals
