1 Introduction 1 Introduction The PR-23 inline refractometer is an instrument for measuring liquid concentration in the process line. The measurement is based on the refraction of light in the process medium, an accurate and safe way of measuring liquid concentration. The inline refractometer sensor (in Figure 1.1) measures the refractive index n the temperature of the process medium.
PR-23 instruction manual 1.2 Principle of measurement The refractometer sensor determines the refractive index n of the process solution. It measures the critical angle of refraction using a yellow LED light source with the same wavelength (580 nm) as the sodium D line (hence n ).
1 Introduction The position of the shadow edge is measured digitally using a CCD element (Fig- ure 1.4) and is converted to a refractive index value n by a processor inside the sensor. This value is then transmitted together with the process temperature via an interconnecting cable to the Indicating transmitter for further processing, display and transmission.
PR-23 instruction manual 1.4 Disposal When wishing to dispose of an obsolete instrument or any parts of an instrument, please observe local and national regulations and re- quirements for the disposal of electrical and electronic equipment. An aluminium or stainless steel sensor housing can be recycled with other metallic waste of the same type.
2 Inline refractometer sensor 2 Inline refractometer sensor 2.1 Sensor description Figure 2.1 below shows a cutaway picture of a PR-23 inline refractometer sensor. The measurement prism (A) is flush mounted to the surface of the probe tip. The prism (A) and all the other optical components are fixed to the solid core module (C), which is springloaded (D) against the prism gasket (B).
PR-23 instruction manual 2.2 Mounting the sensor The sensor mounting location should be chosen with care to ensure reliable read- ings from the process. Some basic rules, described in this section, apply to all sensor models. The model specific instructions can be found in Chapter 9, “Sensor specifica- tions”.
PR-23 instruction manual 2.2.3 Check list for pipe mounting Most PR-23 refractometer models are mounted in a pipe. The recommended mini- mum flow velocity of 1.5 m/s (5 ft/s). The diameter and form of the pipe and the process temperature all affect the measurement and need to be taken into account. 1.

PR-23 instruction manual 5.4 Viewing sensor status Select at the Main menu. SENSOR STATUS 5.4.1 Optical image There are two different image detection algorithms in the PR-23. The original image detection algorithm has been complemented with an advanced IDS (Image Detection Stabilization) algorithm which compensates for some unwanted noise in the image.
5 Startup and use Empty pipe Normal conditions Figure 5.8 Typical optical images with IDS Figure 5.9 A slope graph with IDS It should be noted that the "empty" optical image may have vertical left and/or right edge close to the edge of the image. In the example, only the right edge is visible. 5.4.3 Optical image with VD A PR-23-GP can be ordered with option -VD, Vertical Borderline Image Detection.
PR-23 instruction manual 5.4.4 Diagnostic values The values at the left of the graph are used for diagnostic purposes: – is the final concentration value including Field calibration adjustment, see CONC Figure 6.12. – , see Section 5.4.5. TEMP – gives the position of the shadow edge on CCD in %.
5 Startup and use 5.5 Sensor verification A company maintaining quality system according to ISO 9000 quality standards must have defined procedures for controlling and calibrating its measuring equipment. Such procedures are needed to demonstrate the conformance of the final product to specified requirements.
6 Configuration and calibration 6 Configuration and calibration All changes of configuration and calibration are made through the Calibration menu selected from the Main menu by 5 CALIBRATION Password: It may be necessary to enter a password before proceeding to the Calibra- tion menu.
PR-23 instruction manual 6.1.2 Linear damping If the process has fast step changes, linear (fast) damping gives shorter settling time. In the linear damping (fast damping), the output is the running average of the signal during the damping time. After a step change the signal rises linearly and reaches the final value after the damping time.

During prism wash (see Section 6.5.2) 3. For a preprogrammed time when there is an intermittent loss of sample on the prism (due to voids in the process) When the measurement result is in hold, the displayed concentration value and mA output do not change.
PR-23 instruction manual 6.2.3 Tolerance time The tolerance time setting can be used in processes where there are intermittent breaks in the measurement due to non-representative sample on the prism. This typ- ically occurs when there are large voids in the process liquid. If the optical image can be interpreted, the tolerance time setting does not have any effect.
6 Configuration and calibration defined tolerance time (see Section 6.2.3 for tolerance time). By default the QF thres- hold value is -500. 6.2.5 Hold source interactions There are three different reasons why the measurement signal may be in hold. All three result in the same behaviour, but they also interact with each other.
PR-23 instruction manual 6.2.7 Hold functions with DD-23 The Digital Divert Control System DD-23 uses the displayed concentration value in its decision logic. Due to this, the external hold functionality must not be used with a DD-23, as it could potentially render the system unsafe by freezing the measurement result.

DTR. This document gives all the specifications necessary to write a communications program for downloading purposes. It is also possible to get a ready-to-install communications software from Vaisala. 12.1 Cable requirements and connection 12.1.1 Ethernet cable specification The DTR uses a standard Ethernet cable (10/100BASE-T Cat 5e UTP cable with RJ45 connectors).
PR-23 instruction manual If you are connecting the DTR to a hub or switch or WLAN access point, please con- sult the user’s guide of your hub/switch/access point for the correct cable type (Fig- ures 12.3 and 12.4). POWER POWER Hub/Switch PROCESS INSTRUMENTS PROCESS INSTRUMENTS...
12 Ethernet connection specification Figure 12.6 Ethernet connector on the underside of the Front panel. Note: The DTR has automatic speed negotiation, i.e. it will automatically find out what the optimal speed for the connection is and choose accordingly either 10 Mbit/s or 100 Mbit/s speed.
PR-23 instruction manual If you are using Windows (or Mac OS X 10.3 or newer or any recent Linux distrib- ution) and the computer has the default network settings, change the DTR IP ad- dress to 169.254.x.y, where x=1–254 and y=1–254, for example 169.254.100.100 or 169.254.123.1.
12 Ethernet connection specification very simple: go to the command interface (for example the Command Prompt), type the name of the command and the IP address you want to check and press Enter. If the Ethernet connection is good, the DTR is powered on and the address given to ping is correct, the DTR will answer to ping and return any data packets sent to it, see Fig- ure 12.8.
PR-23 instruction manual If the green LED is lit, your Ethernet connection is made correctly with the right type of cable. In this case, try pinging the DTR and check if the orange LED flashes during ping. If the LED does not flash, re-check the IP address (so that you are really pinging the DTR in question).
DTR it is http://192.168.23.254/ (the figure 12.10 above uses a different address, not the default). Give the address to the browser just like you’d enter any other address (for example http://www.vaisala.com/) 4. Wait until the homepage is loaded, this may take a few seconds.
The main purpose of the Ethernet connection is to collect measurement data from the instrument. You can program a downloading facility yourself following the specifica- tions below. Note: Vaisala guarantees that the specifications are correct, but cannot assume any responsibility or provide support for software. 12.5.1 Communication protocol The communications protocol is based on UDP/IP to port 50023.
12 Ethernet connection specification Response format The response data sent by the DTR is in ASCII format. With the exception of the packet number, the data is human-readable. The data structure is very simple: – packet number (32-bit integer) – zero or more lines of ASCII (text) keys and values associated with these keys (for example temperature key and process temperature in Celsius) The packet number is echoed back without change.

In cases where no such standards exist, the basis used for calibration must be documented. Vaisala verifies the calibration of all delivered instruments according to a procedure similar to the one described Section 13.1. Vaisala K-PATENTS® quality system is ISO 9001 certified by Det Norske Veritas.
As the specified accuracy of PR-23 is ±0.0002, then the representative level is the sum of the three accuracy specifications, that is ±0.0004. Vaisala provides a set of standard R.I. liquids, PR-2300, containing these five liquids. The set can be ordered directly from Vaisala or through your nearest representative.
