Section 1 Technical data 1.1 Technical data for the 3798-S sc conductivity sensor Materials Stainless steel metal housing, PEEK Enclosure rating IP 68; stainless steel metal housing Storage temperature –20 °C ... 60 °C; 95 % relative humidity, non-condensing Sensor and controller –1...
Section 2 General information 2.1 General handling instructions Attention! The sensor will only work correctly when the tip of the probe is completely immersed in liquid. Ensure the tip of the probe always remains underwater even when the water level fluctuates. 2.2 Applications CAUTION! Potential danger with contact with chemical/biological substances.
General information This temperature-dependence, expressed in [% / °C], is termed the temperature coefficient (α). [1 + α (T – T – 1 Tref : conductivity adjusted to the reference temperature Tref : conductivity measured at T : reference temperature (as a rule 25 °C) α...
Section 3 General safety instructions Prior to unpacking, commissioning or operating the instrument, read all of this manual. Please pay particular attention to all instructions on hazards and safety. Otherwise there is a risk of serious injury to the operator or damage to the instrument, or pollution.
EU must return old appliances to the manufacturer for disposal. This disposal is free of charge for the consumer. Note: You can obtain instructions on the correct disposal of all (marked and unmarked) electrical products that have been supplied or manufactured by Hach-Lange from your local Hach-Lange sales office. 3.3 Electrical safety measures and fire prevention measures...
General safety instructions 3.4 Chemical safety measures CAUTION! Reference and standard solutions are used for the calibration. Some of these compounds are toxic or caustic. Potential danger with contact with chemical/biological substances. Working with chemical samples, standards and reagents can be dangerous. Make yourself familiar with the necessary safety procedures and the correct handling of the chemicals before use and read and follow all relevant safety data sheets.
Section 4 Installation 4.1 Connecting sensor cable You can connect the sensor cable to the controller very easily using the plug. Retain the protective cap for the socket in case you need to remove the sensor in the future. Connecting cables are available in the lengths 5 m, 10 m, 15 m, 20 m, 30 m and 50 m.
Installation 4.2 Mechanical sensor installation Notice! The sensor will only work correctly when the tip of the probe is completely immersed in liquid. Ensure the tip of the probe always remains underwater even when the water level fluctuates. CAUTION! Potential danger with contact with chemical/biological substances. Working with chemical samples, standards and reagents can be dangerous.

Section 5 Operation 5.1 Operating the sc controller The sensor can be operated with all sc controllers. Prior to using the sensor, familiarise yourself with the principle of operation of your controller. Learn how to navigate in the menus and run appropriate functions. 5.2 Sensor setup When you connect the sensor for the first time, the serial number of the sensor is displayed as the sensor name.
Operation 5.5 The commands under SENSOR SETUP SENSOR SETUP SELECT SENSOR (for several sensors) CALIBRATE Eliminates sensor offset ZERO CAL 5.6.1 "Calibration in air (ZERO CAL)". Calibration with a defined resistance. ELECTRIC. SPAN 5.6.2 "Calibration in air (ELECTRIC. SPAN)". Calibration with a reference solution. PROCESS SPAN 5.6.3 "Calibration in the process (PROCESS SPAN)".
Operation 5.6 Sensor calibration (conductivity) The sensor has been permanently calibrated and operates with great enough precision and stability that calibration is rarely necessary. Calibrate the sensor • as required (measured value outside the permitted tolerance, see Section 7.3 "Important service data") or •...
Operation 5.7 Adjusting the Temperature 1. From the Main Menu, select SENSOR SETUP and confirm. 2. Highlight the appropriate sensor if more than one sensor is attached and confirm. 3. Select CALIBRATE and confirm. 4. Select PROCESS TEMP and confirm. 5.
Section 6 Maintenance 6.1 Maintenance schedule The following table reflects experience and may, depending on the sector and application, vary significantly from actual requirements. Maintenance task 90 days annual Clean sensor Check sensor for damage If necessary as per Calibration (if necessary) agreement with the authorities You can set the calibration interval in the sensor setup.
