<3. Sensor Setting> ● TC This method uses the linear compensation function. For how to calculate a temperature coefficient of the compensation function, see “n Temperature compensation” on page App.1-1 ● NaCl This method uses the standard temperature compensation function with NaCl solution. For details, see “n NaCl (standard temperature compensation)”...
<3. Sensor Setting> Concentration Concentration can be calculated from conductivity (SC1). Concentration-TC1 allows two method of conversion “Temp. comp. matrix” or “Table and SC1.” • By using the temperature compensation matrix The concentration can be obtained from the temperature compensation matrix (based on the relation between the conductivity at the reference temperature and the concentration).
<3. Sensor Setting> Manual temp. When Manual is selected on the Temperature compensation, a process temperature should be set in the “Manual temp.” Reference temp. Set a reference temperature to which the measured value must be compensated. Normally 25°C is used, so this temperature is chosen as the default value. NOTE Reference temperature here is used when the temperature compensation is “TC”, “NaCl”, “Matrix (specific solution)”.
<3. Sensor Setting> 3.2.5 High/Low alarm setting Alarms from sensors are sorted out to “Device fail”, “Device status”, “Measure alarm”, “Sensor status”. Setup High/Low alarm setting of main measurement value on Measure alarm. For details on alamrs, see 4.7 in IM 12A01F01-03EN Operation of converter.
<3. Sensor Setting> Calibration settings 3.3.1 Limits and timing Air adjust limit (A) To avoid cable influences on the measurement, a “zero” calibration with a dry sensor may be done. To eliminate the capacitive influence of the cables, use dry sensor for zero calibration. When BA20 terminal junction box and WF10J extension cable are used, carry out the zero calibration while these are being connected.
C=current temperature offset Note • Check A(actual value) on other devices. • B is a value displayed on FLXA402 process. • C (current temperature offset) is confirmed on Temp. offset screen. NOTE Use this function when a calibration is invalid.
<3. Sensor Setting> Wellness settings This screen is used to set items relating to sensor diagnostics displayed on the Sensor wellness. Gauges are displayed for only parameters that have been enabled in “Sensor diag. settings.”Parameters set to Disable are provided with a bar display. Figure 3.2 Sensor wellness The setting parameters include “Progress Time”, “Heat cycle”.
NOTE The standard instrument to be used in calibration with a process solution should always be accurate. Yokogawa recommends that the Model SC72 pocket conductivity meter be used for this purpose. IM 12A01F04-01EN...

Figure 4.2 Sample of Calibration trend If FLXA402 detects any sensor fault such as damage on temperature electrode, no calibration is implemented. Where temperature compensation 1 (SC1) and temperature compensation 2 (SC2) are configured, the configured temperature compensation is effective even during calibration.

<4. Calibration of ISC> Cell constant The center value of the cell constant of the ISC40 sensor is 1.88 cm . The nominal cell constants of individual sensors are indicated on the cable markers and the actual installation can change this factor.
<4. Calibration of ISC> Cell constant (manual) The intention of this calibration routine is to fine-tune a sensor for which only the nominal cell constant is known, or to recalibrate a sensor that has been changed (or damaged) during operation. Choose the 1st or 2nd temperature compensation to suit the calibration solution used.
The standard conductivity meter to be used should always be based on the accurate and same temperature compensation calculation method. Yokogawa recommends that the Model SC72 pocket conductivity meter be used for this purpose.
Simply input the solution conductivity at the reference temperature (TR) after allowing the sensor to stabilize at elevated temperatures. The FLXA402 calculates the temperature coefficient. The ideal temperature for this calibration is the normal process value (TP). This calibration is enabled if the Temperature Compensation is set to “TC.”...
NaCl (standard temperature compensation) The FLXA402 has the default temperature compensation function based on a sodium chloride (NaCl) solution. This function can be used for various applications and is compatible with the NaCl compensation function of typical laboratory or portable instruments.

App.1-2 <Appendix 1 For ISC (Inductive Conductivity)> A. Calculation of temperature coefficient factor (With known conductivity at reference temperature). α = T - T α = Temperature compensation factor in %/°C = Measured temperature in °C = Conductivity at T = Reference temperature = Conductivity at T B.

α = 124.5x(31.0 - 25) - 147.6x(18.0 - 25) Set the temperature coefficient in the FLXA402 converter. When the temperature coefficient already set is accurate, the conductivity to be displayed must be constant regardless of liquid temperature. The following check will make sure that the temperature coefficient already set is accurate.

It can also appear to change because of coating of the electrodes, or partial blockage. It does not make sense to regularly recalibrate the FLXA402. A calibration check, however, is another matter. When the objective is clearly defined as a diagnostic exercise a regular check can bring an extra level of security and confidence to the measurement.

App.1-11 <Appendix 1 For ISC (Inductive Conductivity)> FLXA402 is programmed with the following table of conductivity of Potassium Chloride (KCl) solutions at 25°C. This is used in the Automatic Cell Constant setting calibration feature. (See section 11.2) The table is derived from the Standards laid down in “International Recommendation No.
