When used for conductivity limiting or continuous boiler blowdown in steam boilers the conductivity transmitters LRGT 16-1, LRGT 16-2 and LRGT 17-1 must only be used in conjunction with the industrial controller KS 90-1. To ensure trouble-free operation the requirements made on water quality according to TRD and EN regulations must be met.
The conductivity transmitters LRGT 16-1, LRGT 17-1 are mainly used in steam boilers with low TDS content, e.g. steam regenerators, high-pressure boilers or condensate tanks.
This potential difference is then picked up by the voltage electrodes and evaluated as measuring voltage U LRGT 16-1, LRGT 17-1 und LRGT 16-2 The electrical conductivity is a function of temperature. A resistance thermometer integrated in the electrode measures the fluid temperatures so as to relate the measured values to the reference temperature.

Commissioning Procedure Checking electrical connection 1. Check that the conductivity transmitter is wired in accordance with the wiring diagram (Fig. 11, 12, page 20, 21). 2. Make sure that the mains voltage is the same as indicated on the name plate. Applying mains voltage Apply mains voltage.
Operation Correcting the measured value If the indicated conductivity reading differs from the measured comparison value check and re-adjust the temperature coefficient setting T (see section “Settings” on page 24). Only if the temperature coefficient setting is no longer sufficient for the correction should the cell ...
Operation – continued – Functional test 1. To check the functions of the conductivity transmitter set code switch 10 to ON in order to simulate a value that exceeds the measuring range limit and to provide a current output of 20 mA. 2.
Malfunctions Fault-finding list for troubleshooting Equipment is not working Fault: No supply voltage. Remedy: Apply power and check all electrical connections. Fault: Electronic insert of the conductivity transmitter defective. Remedy: Replace electronic insert. Fault: Mass connection to vessel interrupted – no function. Remedy: Clean seating surfaces and screw in electrode with metal joint ring 33 x 39, form D, DIN 7603, made from 1.4301, bright annealed.
“Installation” on page 16. To clean the measuring electrode take the conductivity transmitter out of service and de-install it. LRGT 16-1, LRGT 17-1 To clean the measuring electrode take the conductivity transmitter out of service and de-install it. Then undo the safety set screw N and unscrew the measuring tube M by hand.
4. Unscrew the fixing screws G for the electronic insert and take out the insert. The electronic insert is available as spare part (type LRV 1-40) for LRGT 16-1, LRGT 17-1, type LRV 1-42 for LRGT 16-2. 5. Install the new electronic insert in reverse order.
