Intended Use The module is an input module for conductivity measurement with commer- cially available 2- or 4-electrode sensors. The COND 3400X-041 module is intended for operation in locations subject to explosion hazards which require equipment of Group II, device category 2(1), gas/dust.
• In hazardous locations the device shall only be cleaned with a damp cloth to prevent electrostatic charging. Maintenance The Protos modules cannot be repaired by the user. For inquiries regarding module repair, please contact Knick Elektronische Messgeräte GmbH & Co. KG at www.knick.de.

Terminal Plate COND 3400-041 Module Attaching the Terminal Plates The terminal plates of the lower modules can be sticked to the inner side of the door. This facilitates maintenance and service.
Installing the Module CAUTION! Electrostatic discharge (ESD). The modules' signal inputs are sensitive to electrostatic discharge. Take measures to protect against ESD before inserting the module and wiring the inputs. Note: Strip the insulation from the wires using a suitable tool to prevent dam- age.

Calibration / Adjustment Note: Function check (HOLD) active for the currently calibrated module Current outputs and relay contacts behave as configured • Calibration: Detecting deviations without readjustment • Adjustment: Detecting deviations with readjustment NOTICE! Without adjustment every conductivity meter delivers an imprecise or wrong output value! Every conductivity sensor has its individual cell constant.

Calibration / Adjustment Temperature Compensation Temperature Compensation During Calibration The conductivity value of the calibration solution is temperature-dependent. For calibration, the calibration solution temperature must therefore be known in order to choose the actual value from the conductivity table. During parameter setting you define whether cal temperature is measured automatically or must be entered manually.

Calibration / Adjustment Automatic Calibration with Standard Calibration Solution Automatic with Standard Calibration Solution For automatic calibration, the conductivity sensor is immersed in a standard calibration solution (NaCl or KCl, selected during parameter setting). From the measured conductance and temperature, the Protos automatically calculates the cell constant.

Calibration / Adjustment Manual Entry of Calibration Solution Manual Entry of Calibration Solution For calibration with manual entry of the calibration solution’s conductivity, the sensor is immersed in a calibration solution. Protos determines a conductivity/ calibration temperature value pair. Then, the temperature-corrected conductiv- ity value of the solution must be entered.

Calibration / Adjustment Product Calibration Product Calibration When the sensor cannot be removed, e.g. for sterility reasons (for biotechnical processes), its cell constant can be determined with “sampling”. To do so, the currently measured process value is saved by the Protos. Immediately afterwards, you take a sample from the process.

Calibration / Adjustment Calibrating the Sensors Sensor Calibration Since the cell constant is subject to production-related variances, the dismount- ed sensor should be calibrated with a calibration solution (e.g. NaCl saturated).

Calibration / Adjustment Temp Probe Adjustment Note: With Protos II 4400(X) in the Calibration menu, with Protos 3400(X) in the Maintenance menu. Temp Probe Adjustment This function allows compensating for the individual temperature probe tol- erance and the influence of the lead resistances to increase the accuracy of temperature measurement.
Parameter Setting CAUTION! Incorrect parameter setting, calibration or adjustment may result in incorrect measurements being recorded. Protos must therefore be commissioned by a system specialist, all its parameters must be set, and it must be fully adjusted. NOTICE! The "function check” (HOLD) mode is active during parameter setting. The behavior of the current outputs depends on the parameter setting, i.e., they may be frozen at the last measurement or set to a fixed value.
