Description

The 9900 Transmitter, a member of Signet's line of SmartPro™ instruments, provides a

single-channel interface for all Flow, pH/ORP, Conductivity/Resistivity, Salinity, Pressure,

Temperature, Level, Dissolved Oxygen, Turbidity, Batch and other applications.

The 9900 is available in either Panel or Field Mount.

Both versions run on 10.8 to 35.2 VDC power (24 VDC nominal),

and can power certain sensors on loop power (see note on pg. 2).

The 9900 Transmitter, also allows third-party 4 to 20 mA signals to be used as an

input (optional Signet 8058 i-Go™ Signal Converter required, sold separately).

Compatibility

The 9900 is compatible with all GF Signet products

listed in the column to the right.

● pH and ORP electrodes require the Signet 2750

DryLoc

Sensor Electronics (sold separately).

● Conductivity/Resistivity or Salinity measurement

requires either the optional Direct Conductivity/

Resistivity Module (part number 3-9900.394) or

the Signet 2850 Conductivity/Resistivity Sensor

Electronics (sold separately).

NOTE: If using the 2850, use the one-channel

Digital (S

L) models. The two-channel model

3-2850-63 may be used with only one channel

connected. Do not use with both channels

connected. The 4 to 20 mA models 3-2850-52

and 3-2850-62 are incompatible with the 9900.

● Turbidity measurement using Signet 4150 or

Dissolved Oxygen measurement using Signet

2610-31 requires Signet 8058 i-Go™ Signal

Converter (sold separately).
