1.2. General Safety Regulations
Legal
Requirements
The user is responsible for proper system operation. All precautions
must be followed to ensure safe operation of the instrument.
Spare Parts
and
Disposables
Use only official SWAN spare parts and disposables. If other parts
are used during the normal warranty period, the manufacturer’s war-
ranty is voided.
Modifications Modifications and instrument upgrades shall only be carried out by
an authorized Service Technician. SWAN will not accept responsibili-
ty for any claim resulting from unauthorized modification or alter-
ation.
WARNING
Electrical Shock Hazard
If proper operation is no longer possible, the instrument must be
disconnected from all power lines, and measures must be taken
to prevent inadvertent operation.
To prevent from electrical shock, always make sure that the
ground wire is connected.
Service shall be performed by authorized personnel only.
Whenever electronic service is required, disconnect instrument
power and power of devices connected to.
– relay 1,
– relay 2,
– alarm relay
WARNING
For safe instrument installation and operation you must read and
understand the instructions in this manual.
WARNING
Only SWAN trained and authorized personnel shall perform the
tasks described in this document.

1.3. Restriction for use
The AMI Deltacon DG is designed for determination of:
specific (total) conductivity
cation (acid) conductivity after the cation exchanger
degassed conductivity after a sample reboiler in water-steam-
cycles only.
It calculates the pH value and the concentration of the alkaline sub-
stance (NH3, Morpholine, etc.) if an alkaline substance is present in
the water.
It is not suitable for pH determination in high purity water before
alkalization reagent addition.
Conditions for pH calculation:
only 1 alkalization agent in the sample
the contamination is mostly NaCl
phosphate concentration is < 0.5 ppm
pH value is > 7.5, and < 11.5
No sand. No oil.
The sample must not contain any particles, which may block the flow
cell. Sufficient sample flow is coercive for the correct function of the
instrument.
WARNING
For safe instrument installation and operation you must read and
understand the instructions in this manual, as well as the Material
Safety Data Sheets (MSDS)

2. Product Description
2.1. Description of the System
Application
Range
The AMI Deltacon DG is a complete monitoring system for the auto-
matic, continuous measurement of the conductivity before (specific
conductivity) and after a cation exchanger (cationic or acid conduc-
tivity) and the conductivity of the re-boiled sample (degassed con-
ductivity).
Based on difference conductivity measurement, the pH of the sam-
ple can be calculated.
The application range covers water steam cycles except neutral
treatment.
Special
Features
Many temperature compensation curves for specific conductiv-
ity measurement:
– Strong acids (HCI)
– Strong bases (NaOH)
– Ammonia
– Morpholine
– Ethanolamines
Flow monitoring
Automatic determination of boiling point in configurable inter-
vals and if air pressure changes by more than 5 hPa.
Note: The boiling point determination can also be started
manually in the menu <Maintenance>/<Degasser>.
Surveillance of resin exhaustion.
Calculation of pH according to the VGB 450L, edition 2006
Calculates the concentration of an alkaline substance present
in the water.
Signal
Outputs
Two signal outputs programmable for measured values (freely scal-
able, linear, bilinear, log) or as continuous control output (control pa-
rameters 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).
