Anderson Digital Indicators, Anderson recording devices or Customer supplied instrumentation including programmable logic controllers. Multiple sizes are available to allow adapting a variety of piping sizes. The ILM-4 is 3-A authorized with all wetted parts are constructed of 316L stainless steel and PEEK plastic. Two keys allow for programming changes that can affect the analog and display operation.
1.3 - General Safety These safety instructions have to be strictly observed in order: • To not endanger the safety of persons and environment • To avoid any damages to the measuring instrument • To prevent any faulty product as a result of use The electric connection may only be carried out by qualified persons who have the necessary electrical knowledge and have been authorized by the owner to do so.The wiring of the voltage supply and the inputs and outputs of the control circuits has to be carried out professionally in consideration of current electrical design and regulation.
1.4 - Intended use The ILM-4 conductivity sensor is only to be used for the application that it has been designed, dimensioned and built. The electrical connection must be made to a direct current network (see the nameplate). The intended purpose of the conductivity sensor is the measurement of liquid electrical conductivity in the food processing, beverage, pharmaceutical and chemical industries.
2.2 - Mounting Position Ensure that the mounting position of the sensor guarantees that the measurement body is always submerged in media. Air or air bubbles will negatively impact measurement. Correct installation: • Install the sensor in or in front of ascending pipes also making sure to align the measurement hole in the toroid to the path of the liquid flow Wrong installation: •...
Anderson recommends the use molded five wire molded cord sets to provide the best protection is wet environments. Wire should be 18-24 AWG, 4 conductor cable to power the ILM-4 and provide a return for the analog output signal. In addition, it should be foil shielded with a continuous drain wire. The ILM is provided with M12 quick disconnect electrical connectors that will prevent moisture from entering the electronics housing.

When setting the parameters, please note that a hierarchy of authorization levels exists (0 Monitoring, 1 Adjustment, 2 Setup 3 Calibration and 4 Factory). It is not possible to change the ILM-4 sensor parameters in the lowest “Monitoring” level. The parameters can be set/adjusted beginning with the “Adjustment” level. The farther up you move in the hierarchy, the more parameters can be changed at the customer site, although it should be noted that the upper levels, “Calibration”...

6.1 - Settings using the MPI-200 programming adapter The MPI-200 programming adapter is connected to the ILM-4 conductivity sensor via the external MPI-200-F adapter piece. It must be ensured that the ILM-4 conductivity sensor is permanently connected to the supply voltage while the parameters are being set.

6.2 - Settings using the Simple User Interface The software structure of the Simple User Interface is similar to that of the PC version. The system is operated using two control buttons to the left and right of the display. These two buttons can be used to navigate through the tree structure of the Simple User Interface to change parameters.
6.2.1 - Screen display After the sensor parameters have been adapted/changed, or after the sensor is switched on and no change is made, the sensor switches to the display mode after a certain period. In the display mode, all nodes of the conductivity measurement are run through –...
6.2.2 - LED configuration The display unit features 2 LEDs that can be individually configured. These can be used to visually indicate faults directly on-site. The LED to the left of the display is LED 1 while the one to the right is LED 2. The following options can be selected when setting the LEDs: •...

Section 9 - Service and Calibration 9.1 - Service Warning! Do not remove this sensor from the process while it is operating. Removal while the process is operating can contaminate the process and could cause human injury. Caution: Improper replacement of components during service can result in process leakage, reduced pressure rating, system clean ability issues, incorrect output signal, or error code(s).
