Alfa Laval TE67K Series Manual

Alfa Laval Conductivity Sensor

Safety instructions

This instrument is built and tested according to the current EU-direc-
tives and packed in technically safe condition. In order to maintain this
condition and to ensure safe operation, the user must follow the hints
and warnings given in this instruction.
During the installation the valid national rules have to be observed.
Ignoring the warnings may lead to severe personal injury or substantial
damage to property.
The product must be operated by trained staff. Correct and safe
operation of this equipment is dependent on proper transport, storage,
installation and operation.
All electrical wiring must conform to local standards. In order to
prevent stray electrical radiation, we recommend twisted and shielded
input cables, as also to keep power supply cables separated from the
input cables. The connection must be made according to the connect-
ing diagrams.
Before switching off the supply voltage check the possible effects on
other equipment and the processing system. Ensure that the supply
voltage and the conditions in the environment comply with the specifi-
cation of the device.

– Conductivity transmitter
– Mounting instructions
Inductive conductivity measurement is based on the principle of two
series-connected toroidal-core transformers (1) and (2).
The primary side of the transformer 1 is controlled by an AC voltage
generator.
The liquid flowing through the channel bore (3) in the measuring head
form a conductor loop, which links between the secondary side of
the transformer (1) and the primary side of the transformer (2). The
output current is proportional with the conductivity of the media. Signal
conditioning, amplification and conversion provides a 4...20 mA signal
output from the galvanically isolated D/A converter.
The measured conductivity is highly dependable of the media tem-
perature. Therefore the fast-response temperature sensor in the tip (4)
compensates for the temperature in the media.
The special processing unit offers maximum accuracy and reliability.
The very low resolution of 1µS/cm together with a fast response time
gives a high sensivity. This ensures reliable detection of media even
with minor differences in conductivity, such as different kinds of beer.
