C800 Analyser Operating Manual 1. Introduction Thank you for selecting a C800 conductivity Analyser. The analyser converts an input from an electrochemical sensor to a 4-20mA signal for a PLC or chart recorder. The C800 is a microprocessor- based instrument that is designed to be sturdy and user-friendly. This analyser has many user-friendly features –...
There is normally no need to bolt the flange down. 2.1. Open Installation If the analyser is to be mounted separately, use an Astles Control Systems universal mounting kit (500/9501) to fix it to a pipe or wall. To attach the analyser to the mounting kit use M6 bolts, washers, and nuts.
C800 Analyser Operating Manual 2.2. Sighted Enclosure Installation To install the analyser into a sighted enclosure, the glands must be removed before passing the box through the window. Ensure the screen gasket is in place. Secure the analyser to the front of the enclosure using two screws either side of the analyser, shown below.
C800 Analyser Operating Manual 3. Electrical Installation 3.1. Power supply Requirements The C800 requires a 24V ±10% dc supply. Other devices such as chart recorders and PLCs may be connected in series. Use screened cable if the 4-20mA conductivity signal is required. 3.2.
C800 Analyser Operating Manual 3.2.3. Direct Connection to Analyser To wire directly to an external power source, wire +24V into the +ve terminal and 0V to the -ve terminal. Use 2-core screened cable, such as Belden 8760, through a gland in the bottom of the analyser.
C800 Analyser Operating Manual 4. Display and Keypad Functions 4.1. Display 1. Measurement mode indicator 2. Measurement reading 3. Hold mode indicator 4. Automatic Temperature Compensator indicator 5. Temperature Reading 4.2. Keypad Description The C800 analyser has 6 buttons on the keypad allowing for easy and quick operation of the analyser.
C800 Analyser Operating Manual (Back): Navigates to the previous screen. Hold the button for 2 seconds to return to the primary display. (Down-Arrow): Allows you to scroll through various menus or decrease calibration values. (Enter): Will confirm selections in menus and calibration values. Pressing this button when on the primary display will navigate to the main menu.
C800 Analyser Operating Manual 7. Basic Setup 7.1. Range Setup Navigate to the RANGE menu to set an appropriate conductivity range for the solution you are measuring. Navigate to the DSL-DSH menu to specify a custom range for the 4-20 mA current output. On an aluminium beverage can line, the typical ranges for stages 3 &...
7. To perform calibration you will require conductivity standards. Standards are available in 84μS and 1413μS and can be purchased by emailing sales@astles.co.uk. When calibration has started the analyser will go into a temporary hold mode until the calibration is complete.
C800 Analyser Operating Manual Press again to confirm the slope and the offset. The analyser will then ask if you would like to reset the runtime, select NO for this. The sensor is now calibrated. 8.2. Temperature Calibration By default ATC mode is enabled. Temperature calibration is only possible when an ATC probe is fitted.
