Electrical connection continued Connecting LRGT 16-1, LRGT 16-2, LRGT 17-1 To connect the conductivity transmitter, please use a screened, multi-core control cable with a min. conductor size of 0.5 mm , e.g. LiYCY 4 x 0.5 mm , max. length: 100 m.
Electrical connection continued Safety power supply unit for LRGT 16-1, LRGT 16-2, LRGT 17-1 To supply the conductivity transmitter with 24 V DC, a safety power supply unit (PSU), e.g. Siemens SITOP PSU100C 24V/0.6A, must be used; this must provide a level of isolation against dangerous...
2. Set the desired measuring range via the code switch. To change the code switch settings you can use a ball-point pen, for example. LRGT 16-1, LRGT 17-1 Code switch Current output mA = µS/cm Measuring range...
Commissioning procedure continued Establishing the measuring range and actual value output continued Note When mains voltage is supplied (during commissioning), the first output will be 4 mA, then the output current increases until it reaches the actual value. Checking the setting of temperature coefficient T For linear compensation of the measured conductivity value at 25°C, the temperature coefficient T factory set to 2.1 % per °C.
Operation Correcting the measured value If there is a deviation between the indicated conductivity and the measured comparison value, check and change the temperature coefficient T setting. See page 20 for procedure and setting values. Only modify the cell constant if the temperature coefficient setting is no longer sufficient for ...
Operation continued Function test 1. To check the functions of the conductivity transmitter, set code switch 10 to ON. This simulates a value that exceeds the measuring range limit and provides a current output of 20 mA. 2. After finishing the function test, set the code switch back to OFF. Code switch 10 Function test Normal operation...
Fault indications and troubleshooting Indications, diagnosis and remedies Attention Please check the following before fault diagnosis: Supply voltage: Is the conductivity transmitter supplied with the mains voltage specified on the name plate? Wiring: Does the wiring conform to the wiring diagram? Fault indications The equipment is not working accurately Error...
