1. General information
1.1 Description
The type 2822 conductivity module is a 4-electrode
conductivity meter to be used with Valmet 4-electrode
conductivity sensors series 9000. It is designed for
mounting into a 19" card frame system using one of a series
of the special designed terminal backplates.
The conductivity module has 16 conductivity ranges and 6
temperature compensations arranged around a dual set of
switches, which makes it possible to set up for two different
applications simultaneously. By an external DC voltage the
switching between the applications (A|B) is done. The same
range and temperature compensation can be set in A and
B.
The conductivity module is equipped with a 20 segment bar
graph displaying the conductivity on the frontside and a
single mA output, which can be set for 0-20 or 4-20 mA by
an internal switch, for connection to external equipment.
1.3 Temperature compensation
In an electrolyte all ions present will contribute to the
conductivity. Different ions will contribute with different
amounts but these are always temperature dependant. In
many cases it is desirable to know the conductivity at some
fixed temperature, the reference temperature. To do this it is
necessary to compensate for temperature in the
conductivity measurement. Different ions have different
temperature dependencies; hence the temperature
compensation must be selected to fit the actual application.
The temperature compensation is based on a temperature
measurement using a Pt1000 resistance thermometer.
Based on the temperature measurement and the selected
application a microprocessor calculates the compensation
voltage, which then is used as a reference voltage for the
comparator (see sections 1.1 and 1.2). For further
information on available temperature compensations see
section 1.4 Specifications.

The output mode can be set for linear or compressed (0-x- 1.4 Specifications
 mode. For further information on the selection of ranges,
mode and output current see section 3. Operation.

Pin connection for the 9-pole D-connector:
A proper connection of the screen in the module end of the
cable is directly on the screen so the cable is pressed
against the terminal board. It will be necessary to remove
approx. 1 cm of the outer cable insulation just making the
screen visible on this length.
In the power supply end of the screened cable the screen
should be terminated in a similar way. Connect the screen
to the metallic structure of the casing or the mains
transformer (power supply) and the protective earth.
The mA output wires and the A/B switch wires can be
passed in the same screened cable as the power-port wires.
Warning: Do not terminate the screen via a "pigtail".

2.5 Connecting the sensor

K15800 EN 9
2.6 Mounting the sensor

Generally
The sensor should be mounted at a place where there will
be no occurrence of air pockets or bubbles. The best
installation is obtained across a pump or in an upstream
pipe.

Preferred mounting
Sensor a is used to for concentration control in a loop. The
dosing is injected before the sensor, preferably with a pump
between the dosage and the sensor to provide for mixing
before the measurement. The sensor is mounted on the
pressure side of pump to minimize influence from air
bubbles.

Sensor b is used for measurement of the return flow. The

sensor is mounted at the under side of the horizontal pipe in
a cone, to let air bubbles pass without disturbing the
measurement.

Sensor c is placed in an upstream pipe where the pipe is

filled with liquid.

Sensor d is placed in a downstream pipe section. A flow

damper is installed in the pipe to secure a filled pipe.

Wrong mounting
Sensor a is mounted in a tank where it is intended to
control dosing via a pump. If the agitation in the tank stops
the control loop is opened and the dosage control will fail.
Control loop will also fail if the liquor level falls below the
sensor measuring head.

Sensor b is mounted in a horizontal pipe. If the flow is too

low or in case of no flow, air bubbles may occur or the pipe
may not be filled. Consequently, the sensor will be
measuring partially in air, giving a faulty reading.

Sensor c is installed where bubbles may occur due to local

boiling caused by the vacuum created by the liquor in the
long downstream pipe.

Sensor d is installed in a downstream pipe close to an open

ending. The pipe will never be filled and the sensor will give
a faulty reading.

Sensor e is installed in the suction side of a pump where

the pressure is low while the pump is running.
Consequently, air bubbles may be formed causing a faulty
reading.

They can be selected freely without any restrictions; the
settings can even be identical. Range B need not to be set if
only Application A is used. The switches are operated with a
small screwdriver that fits securely in the notch. Be careful
not to damage the notch. The range switches are coded for
a total of 16 ranges, divided in two sections, one for 0-7
another for 8-F. However two of the ranges from each group
are identical (No. 6 is identical to No. 8 and No. 7 is identical

3.4 Exchanging the scale
The scales are fastened with screws. Screws are also
supplied when no scales are mounted. A number of
standard scales are available (see section 1.4.2). For a
particular application a certain setting of mode, range and
temperature compensation is needed and this in turn gives
a certain scale graduation. All necessary information is
printed on every exchangeable scale.
3.5 Switching between
application A and B
The switching between application A and B is done
externally using the control-line for A|B. The powered
control-line will select B, unpowered A. In application A the
range and temperature compensation is in accordance with
the settings of range A and Temp. Comp. A. In application B
the range and temperature compensation is in accordance
with the settings of range B and Temp. Comp. B. Note that
output current and output mode is not switched but must be
accepted as it is for both applications.
3.6 Replacing the fuse
To get access to the fuse it is necessary to remove the
case. Unscrew the four screws in the corners of the rear
panel. Grab on the edges of the rear panel and pull out the
unit. Do not remove the frontside.
The fuse is located on the powersupply board (see figure).
When a fuse blows there must be a reason for it. Do never
replace a blown fuse without trying to figure out the reason
why it blew.
K15800 EN
Look for burned (miscoloured) components or areas of a
printed circuit board or some external reason e.g.
temporarily overvoltage etc.. Replace with a fuse of same
size, type and rating. Fuse should be: 160 mA, slow blow, 5
x 20 mm. When re-assembling the unit make sure the
printed circuit boards fits into the notches inside the case.
Also make sure the contact strips fastened on the inside of
the case are securely making contact to the edges of the
printed circuit board with the filters. Finally tighten the four
screws holding the unit in the case.
3.7 Calibration check
3.7.1 Generally
Performing a calibration check means making a conductivity
measurement on an electrolyte having a known
conductivity. The electrolyte in question can be a reference
electrolyte or conductivity standard. A reference electrolyte
is an arbitrary electrolyte the conductivity of which is known
because it is measured by some conductivity meter, the
reference conductivity meter. Most commonly a reference
electrolyte is prepared from sodiumchloride (NaCl) or
potassiumchloride (KCl). The chemicals need not be of
analytical grade hence sea salt or any other salt, or a base
or an acid, just some electrolyte giving a suitable
conductivity that is constant with time, can be used. The
reference conductivity meter should be a precision
laboratory conductivity meter the calibration of which should
be checked against conductivity standards at regular time
intervals. A conductivity standard is an electrolyte, prepared
from analytical grade chemicals and distilled water, the
conductivity of which is known to a certain accuracy. Most
commonly a conductivity standard is prepared from
potassiumchloride (KCl), but saturated sodiumchloride
(NaCl), maximum conductivity hydrochloric acid (HCl) etc.
can be used. The temperature must be under stable control
and known accurately. A table of conductivity versus
temperature must be available. However if using the
reference electrolyte approach and if the reference
conductivity meter and the conductivity meter to be checked
are both measuring on the reference electrolyte
simultaneously and this is held in a circulating loop or in a
container with agitation and the temperature compensations
of both instruments are identical there is no need of
knowing the temperature. If the measurement is done
without temperature compensation (switched off on both
instruments) only the conductivity measuring, not the
temperature measuring hardware is checked. Comparing
the readings from a calibration check with another without
temperature compensation can give important hints for
faultfinding. When using the conductivity standard approach
the electrolyte must be thermostated to the reference
temperature of the Temp. Comp. in question to avoid errors
from the difference between temperature dependencies. As
an alternative the temperature compensation can be
switched off, but in that case the temperature measuring
hardware will not be checked. To get around the above
problem, special tables of "reading versus temperature" for
a given conductivity standard and temperature
compensation can be used. In any case the temperature
must be known.
16
3.7.2 Conductivity standards
Conductivity standards are electrolytes, which can be made
in the laboratory and are known to have a high degree of
reproduceability concerning the conductivity. Traditionally
potassiumchloride (KCl) solutions having concentrations of
1 Mol/l, 0.1 Mol/l and 0.01 Mol/l are used. The conductivities
are slightly different depending on the source cited. More
diluted solutions can be made by successive dilution.

can only be tested in a miniature flow chamber. All other
sensors with PTFE and external electrodes have been
calibrated by the manufacturer in a pipe identical to the pipe
in the final installation. Unless otherwise prescribed, the
sensors should be calibrated in a Tee of 316 steel with the
electrodes towards the pipe wall and with a pipe diameter
as follows:

Sensor type Outside pipe diameter (mm)

9413s 51
9413 63
9424, 9434, 9494 76
9425, 9435, 9495 Open vessel min. 180

Testing in smaller pipes will typically give positive deviations

of +3% to +6% or more, and in wider pipes negative
deviations of -3% to -6%.

4.8 494 external power supply

Input power: 230 / 115 V AC.

Output power: 24 V AC, 10 VA.

The Surge Pulse immunity test (EN50082-1 informative

annex A.4.4, and EN50082-2 informative annex A.4.5) is
not mandatory at present time (970306).

However, the requirements of the test are met if the power-

port (24 V AC/DC) is connected using a screened cable,
where the screen is terminated properly in both ends of the
cable.

A proper connection of the screen in the module end of the

cable is directly on the screen so the cable is pressed
against the terminal board. It will be necessary to remove
approx. 1 cm of the outer cable insulation just making the
screen visible on this length.

In the power supply end of the screened cable the screen

should be terminated in a similar way. Connect the screen
to the metallic structure of the casing or the mains
transformer (power supply) and the protective earth.

The mA output wires and the A/B switch wires can be

passed in the same screened cable as the power-port wires.

Warning: Do not terminate the screen via a "pigtail".
