3.2 Installation
Connection cable A sensor connection cable of the SACIQ or SACIQ SW type is required
to connect the sensor. The cable is available in different lengths. Com-
pared to the standard model SACIQ, the SACIQ SW sensor connection
cable is optimized regarding its corrosion resistance in seawater and
brackish water and adapted for use in conjunction with the
TetraCon®700 IQ SW. Information on this and other IQ SENSOR NET
accessories is given in the WTW catalog and on the Internet.
Are the plug
connections dry? Before connecting the sensor and sensor connection cable, please
make sure that the plug connections are dry. If moisture gets into the
plug connections, first dry the plug connections (dab them dry or blow
them dry using compressed air).
Connecting the sensor
to the sensor
connection cable
How to connect the sensor connection cable to the terminal
strip of an MIQ module is described in chapter 3 Installation
of the IQ SENSOR NET system operating manual.
Do not suspend the sensor on the sensor connection cable.
Use a sensor holder or armature.
Information on this and other IQ SENSOR NET accessories
is given in the WTW catalog and on the Internet.
1Take the protective caps off the plug connections of the sensor
and the SACIQ (SW) sensor connection cable and keep them
safe.
2 Plug the socket of the SACIQ (SW) sensor connection cable
onto the plug head connector of the sensor. At the same time,
rotate the socket so that the pin in the plug head connector (1)
clicks into one of the two holes in the jack.
3Then, screw the coupling ring (2) of the sensor connection
cable onto the sensor up to the stop.

4.1 Measuring
CAUTION
Contact with the sample can lead to danger to the user! Depend-
ing on the type of sample, suitable protective measures must be
taken (protective clothing, protective goggles, etc.).
Fig. 4-1 Distance of the sensor from the edge
Please make sure that, during measurement, the elec-
trodes of the sensor are surrounded by a gap of at least 5
cm at the base and sides (boundary fields). If the gap is less
than that, the cell constant changes. This leads to incorrect
measurement results. If the gap cannot be maintained, e.g.
in narrow pipes, the cell constant can be adjusted to suit the
installation conditions (see section 4.2.2).
1Immerse the sensor in the measuring medium.
2 The measured value is immediately available.

4.2 Application-dependent settings
4.2.1 General information
The TetraCon® 700 IQ (SW) conductivity sensor is stable over the long
term. When being used for the authorized use of the sensor in water/
wastewater applications, it is immediately ready for use.
Adapting the cell
constant to the
installation location
In the case of special installation conditions, it may be necessary to
adapt the cell constant (due to the influence of the measuring environ-
ment, e.g. of boundary fields).
Cell constants with
WTW installation
accessories
For some products of the WTW accessory program that require a cor-
rection of the cell constant, you will find the correct values to set in the
chapter 7 TECHNICAL DATA of this operating manual (if it is possible to
specify the values). If necessary, special installation recommendations
for the TetraCon® 700 IQ (SW) can be found in the accessory operat-
ing manual. In case of doubt it is necessary to determine the cell con-
stant according to section 4.2.2.
4.2.2 Determining the cell constant in a user-specific measuring
environment
Normally, the conductivity measuring cell does not age.
Special measuring media (e.g. strong acids and bases,
organic solvents) or temperatures that are too high may
considerably reduce its lifetime or lead to damage. No war-
ranty claims can be made for mechanical damage or any
failure caused by these types of measuring media.
The cell constant is stored in the controller. It is automati-
cally allocated to the substitute sensor when the sensor is
exchanged.
The setting of the cell constant is made in the setting menu
of the sensor according to section 3.4.
1Immerse the operable conductivity sensor in the test sample in
the measuring environment and wait until the measured value
is stable.
2 Read the conductivity on the display and note it down (-> χD).

TetraCon® 700 IQ (SW) Measurement / operation

ba55322d06 02/2015
3Take a representative sample simultaneously with the conduc-
tivity measurement and from the immediate vicinity of the sen-
sor if possible.
4 Determine the conductivity of the sample without the influ-
ence of boundary fields (-> χX). The measurement can, for
example, be performed as follows:
Measuring in the laboratory using a laboratory conductivity
measuring cell
Measuring using the TetraCon® 700 IQ (SW) while observ-
ing the bottom and lateral gaps according to section
4.1 MEASURING.
Attention: Set the same procedure for the temperature com-
pensation as for measuring the χD!
5Read and note down the currently set cell constant in the set-
ting menu of the sensor (see section 3.4) (-> KA).
6 Calculate the new cell constant KNaccording to:
7Set and store the new cell constant KN(see section 3.4).
KN=(χX/χD)·KA

5 Maintenance, cleaning, disposal
5.1 General maintenance instructions
CAUTION
Contact with the sample can lead to danger to the user! Depend-
ing on the type of sample, suitable protective measures must be
taken (protective clothing, protective goggles, etc.).
Maintenance condition We recommend to switch on the maintenance condition each time
before removing the sensor from its measuring position. This avoids
any unintended reactions of the linked outputs. For detailed information
on the maintenance condition please refer to the relevant
IQ SENSOR NET system operating manual.
Maintenance-free
operation
The TetraCon® 700 IQ (SW) conductivity sensor operates without the
need for any maintenance.
5.2 Cleaning
If the sensor is heavily contaminated, this can affect the measuring
accuracy. Therefore, we recommend to clean the sensor regularly after
to visual checks. Thorough cleaning of the sensor is particularly recom-
mended before measuring lower values of conductivity, as well as
before adjusting the measured value.
If you would like to disconnect the sensor from the sensor connection
cable, please note the following points:
Before disconnecting the sensor from the SACIQ (SW) sensor con-
nection cable, remove any larger pieces of contamination from the
sensor, particularly in the area of the plug connection (brush it off in
a bucket of tapwater, wash it off with a hose or wipe it off with a
cloth).
Unscrew the sensor from the SACIQ (SW) sensor connection cable.
Always place a protective cap on the plug head of the sensor and on
the SACIQ (SW) sensor connection cable so that no moisture or dirt
can get into the contacting surfaces.
In a corrosive environment, close the socket of the sensor connec-
tion cable (while it is dry) with the screw-on dust cover SACIQ-Plug
to protect the electrical contacts against corrosion. The protective
cap is available as an accessory under the order number 480 065.
It is included in the standard scope of delivery of the SACIQ SW sen-
sor connection cable.
We do not recommend to unscrew the sensor from the sen-
sor connection cable in order to clean it. Otherwise, mois-
ture and/or dirt can get into the plug connection where they
can cause contact problems.
