Description
The 9900 Transmitter, a member of Signet's line of SmartPro
provides a single-channel interface for all Flow, pH/ORP, Conductivity/Resistivity,
Salinity, Pressure, Temperature, Level, Dissolved Oxygen, Turbidity, Batch and
other applications.
The 9900 is available in either Panel or Field Mount. Both versions run on
10.8 to 35.2 VDC power (24 VDC nominal), and can power certain sensors on
loop power (see NOTE on page 11).
The 9900 Transmitter, also allows third-party 4 to 20 mA signals to be used as an
input (optional Signet 8058 i-Go
Compatibility
The 9900 is compatible with all GF Signet
products listed in the column to the right.

NOTE: If using the 2850, use the one-
channel Digital (S
channel model 3-2850-63 may be used
with only one channel connected. Do
not use with both channels connected.
The 4 to 20 mA models 3-2850-52 and
3-2850-62 are incompatible with the 9900.
● Turbidity measurement using Signet 4150
or Dissolved Oxygen measurement using
Signet 2610-31 requires Signet 8058 i-Go
Signal Converter (sold separately).
Operating Instructions
Your new Signet 9900 Transmitter needs to be calibrated and the
sensor needs to be initialized prior to use. The following steps
