Product Description
2. Product Description
2.1. Description of the System
Application
Range
Sodium measurement is used for quality control in high purity water
applications and to monitor break through of ion exchangers.
Signal
Outputs
Two signal outputs programmable for measured values (freely scal-
able, linear, bilinear, log) or as continuous control output (control
parameters programmable).
Current loop: 0/4–20 mA
Maximal burden: 510 Ω
Third signal output available as an option. The third signal output
can be operated as a current source or as a current sink (selectable
via switch).
Relays Two potential-free contacts programmable as limit switches for
measuring values, controllers or timer for system cleaning with au-
tomatic hold function.
Maximum load: 1 A / 250 VAC
Alarm Relay One potential free contact.
Alternatively:
Open during normal operation, closed on error and loss of
power.
Closed during normal operation, open on error and loss of
power.
Summary alarm indication for programmable alarm values and in-
strument faults.
Input For potential-free contact to freeze the measuring value or to inter-
rupt control in automated installations (hold function or remote-off).
Communica-
tion interfaces
(optional)
USB Interface for logger download
Third signal output (can be used in parallel to the USB interface)
RS485 with Fieldbus protocol Modbus or Profibus DP
Safety
Features
No data loss after power failure. All data is saved in non-volatile
memory.
Over voltage protection of in- and outputs.
Galvanic separation of measuring inputs and signal outputs.
