1. INTRODUCTION 1.1 COMMON INTRODUCTION 1000TR is a new CE-approved series of transmitters from Elmacron AB. In the series, there are instruments for ph, Redox%, Redox mv and temperature measurement. 1000TR is easy to program, calibrate and use. The layout on the instrument is clear; a large display with four LED-segments, diode indication for the menu and four large function keys. All settings are made through the function keys on the front panel. When connecting an electrode to 1000TR-pH the display shows the actual ph-value in the solution measured. Manual / Automatic temperature compensation is built-in to give the highest possible accuracy over the whole range. 1000TR-pH is provided with an isolated output 0/4-20 ma, proportional to the ph-value, for connection to, for example, a computer, printer or other recording equipment. When measuring is interrupted, the output stays frozen at the last measured value. 1.2 PARTS & ACCESSORIES 1000TR is delivered without connection cables and electrodes.

2. INSTALLATION 2.1 CASING The casing is made of die-cast polystyrol with a transparent front cover that is closed with a snaplock. The connection terminals are located in a separate partition at the lower part of the transmitter. At the bottom of the instrument there are four cable glands ( two 15,2 and two 18,6 ) for the electrical connections. The protection class is IP65. 2.2 MOUNTING The instrument is designed for wall mounting. Be sure that the instrument is mounted at a nonvibrating place. 1000TR is mounted vertically with two fastening screws ( 7) through the mounting brackets on the instrument. 2.3 ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION It is recommended that each instrument is provided with a separate power switch. The electrode coax cable must be protected by a screen and may not be installed near power cables. Avoid extension of cables. The connection terminals are located in a separate space at the lower part of the transmitter. - 3 -
2.3.1 Connection of the power supply Connect the power supply to terminal 1 (earth), terminal 2 (zero) and terminal 3 (live). 2.3.2 Connection of the electrode Electrode cabling is a critical part of the whole system. Use a low noise coax cable between the electrode and the input terminal on the controller. Low noise cables has, in general, a black semi-conductive sheath between the centrewire insulation and the shield. Remove this sheath. Keep the cable away from power wires. Max recommended length of cable is 10 meters. Connect the shield ( reference ) of the coax cable to terminal 4 ( EL - ). Connect the centre ( glass electrode ) of the coax cable to terminal 5 ( EL + ). 2.3.3 Connection of a temperature probe ( RTD Pt100 ) When automatic temperature compensation is configured, a Pt100-probe is connected to terminal 6, 7, 8 and 9 ( 1A, 1B, 1C and 1D ). 2.3.3.1 Connection of 4-wire Pt100 2.3.3.2 Connection of 2-wire Pt100 The temperature sensor has to be installed in the same solution being measured, close to the electrode either in-line or in the tank. A pre-set calibration has to be done when installing a new Pt100- sensor ( see chapter 5.2 ). When manual temperature compensation is configured a 107 Ω-resistor is connected to the temperature input and a jumper is set between terminals as shown in the figure below. 2.3.4 Connection of a recorder Connect the recorder to terminal 10 ( REC + ) and terminal 11 ( REC - ). 2.4 CHECK THE CONNECTIONS Before the power supply is turned on; check that the connections are mechanical and electrical correct. - 4 -
3. FUNCTIONS 3.1 COMMON FUNCTIONS All settings are made through the function keys on the front panel. The keys + and are accelerating in three steps when they are kept pressed. Chosen function is indicated by a green diode in the menu, at alarm a red diode is activated at the same time as the diode at the actual function activates. When pressing M you step down in the menu.

To leave the setting mode without saving the settings: press M. Before starting up the transmitter the following parameters has to be set: Temperature compensation and output range. Turn the power on. 4.2.1 Setting of the temperature compensation 4.2.1a) Manual temperature compensation For automatic temperature compensation, see 4.2.1.b). 1. Interrupt the measuring by pressing + and at the same time until the measuring is interrupted and the diode at CAL.1 is activated. 2. Press M until the diode at TEMP. is activated. At the display: In--. Press = to confirm. 3. Set the correct temperature with + and -. Press = to confirm. The diode at OUTPUT activates and the display shows 0-20. 4.2.1b) Automatic temperature compensation In automatic temperature compensation a Pt100 sensor has to be installed ( see chapter 2.3 for connection ). NOTE! Save the 107Ω resistor. A pre-calibration according to 5.2 has to be performed when a new Pt100 sensor is installed. 1. Interrupt the measuring by pressing + and at the same time until the measuring is interrupted and the diode at CAL.1 is activated. 2. Press M until the diode at TEMP. is activated. At the display: In--. 3. Press + until the display shows Au--. Press = to confirm. The diode at OUTPUT activates and the display shows 0-20. 4.2.2 Set the output signal 1. Choose between 0-20 and 4-20 ma with +. 2. Press = to confirm. 3. The display shows SPAn. Press = to confirm. 4. The display shows 0000. Set the ph-value corresponding to 0 (alt. 4) ma. 5. Press = to confirm. The display shows 0014. - 7 -
6. Set the ph-value corresponding to 20 ma. Press = to confirm. 7. The diode at MEASURE is activated and the display shows Hold. 8. Press = to start the measurement. NOTE! The ph-values have to be set so that the 0/4 ma-level is corresponding to a lower value than the 20 ma value. In other cases the output signal stays at 0 ma. 4.3 CALIBRATION When delivered the transmitter is calibrated according to standard: offset ( zero point ) at ph 7.00, and slope 100% at 20 C. The transmitter should be calibrated on a regular basis according to ph, to reach a high security in the measurement. Calibration can be performed at 1, 2 or 3 ( recommended ) calibration points. The transmitter is preset for calibration at ph 7.00 ( offset ), ph 4.00 (low buffer) and ph 10.00 (high buffer), other values can be chosen. If calibration at two points is desired, it is recommended that the calibration points are chosen at the "zero-point" and at a point close to the expected ph. During the calibration, the latest output signal stays "frozen". When a new electrode is installed or at the first start-up of the instrument, we advise you to do as follows: Check that the electrode glass membrane is stored wet. If the protective cap is empty and the electrode is dry, immerse the electrode in a buffer solution or tap water ( do not use destilled water ) for three hours before calibration ( and using ). If the transmitter is set for manual temperature compensation, the temperature of the buffer solution has to be set. ( see chapter 5.1.1 ). If the transmitter is set for automatic temperature compensation, the Pt100-sensor has to be immersed in the buffer solution together with the electrode. 1. Interrupt the measuring by pressing + and at the same time. 2. The instrument automatically steps down to CAL. 1 ( calibration point 1). Pre-set zeropoint is at ph 7.00, if another offset value is desired it can be set with + and -. 3. Rinse the electrode membrane carefully with destilled water. 4. Put the electrode in buffer 1. Press = to start. Wait until the value at the display has stabilised. Use + and to set the correct value. Press = to save the calibration. If the measured value differs more than ± 1.5 ph-units* from the pre-set buffer value, calibration can not be performed. When pressing = a message is shown, ( see chapter 6 ). Locate and correct the error and try again. Press M to interrupt the calibration. 5. The instrument automatically steps to CAL. 2 (calibration point 2). At calibration point 2, the instrument is calibrated at a high-buffer value ( ph > 7 ). If no calibration at point 2 is desired, the point can be ignored by pressing M until the diode at CAL.3 is activated. 6. The pre-set value on buffer 2 is ph 10.00, if another offset value is desired it can be set with + and -. 7. Rinse the electrode membrane carefully with destilled water. - 8 -
8. Put the electrode in buffer 2. Press = to start. Wait until the value at the display has stabilised. Use + and to set the correct value. Press = to save the calibration. If the phslope differs more than +10%, -20%* the calibration is not accepted and the value can not be adjusted. If the ph-slope differs more than +10%, -20%* the alarm diode is activated and the calibration can not be done, when pressing = an error message is shown, (see chapter 6). Accept the error by pressing =. Locate and correct the error and try again. Press M to interrupt the calibration. 9. The instrument automatically steps to CAL. 3 (calibration point 3). At calibration point 3 the instrument is calibrated at a low-buffer value ( ph < 7 ). If no calibration at point 3 is desired, the point can be ignored by pressing M. 10. The pre-set value on buffer 3 is ph 4.00, if another offset value is desired it can be set with + and -. 11. Rinse the electrode membrane carefully with destilled water. 12. Put the electrode in buffer 3. Press = to start. Wait until the value at the display has stabilised. Use + and to set the correct value. Press = to save the calibration. If the phslope differs more than +10%, -20%* the calibration is not accepted and the value can not be adjusted. If the ph-slope differs more than +10%, -20%* the alarm diode is activated and the calibration can not be done, when pressing = an error message is shown, (see chapter 6). Accept the error by pressing =. Locate and correct the error and try again. Press M to interrupt the calibration. 13. Step to MEASURE with M. 14. Rinse the electrode membrane carefully with destilled water. 15. Do not forget to reset to the process temperature when manual temperature compensation is chosen. 16. The instrument is now ready for measuring. Press M to start. The accepted range is calculated in relation to the distance from the offset value. Example: Offset ( zero ) ph 7.00 Calibration point 1 ph 10.00 Calibration point 2 ph 4.00 Accepted ph-slope is +10%, -20% from ideal slope. The deviation is calculated according to: ph 10.00 = 3, which gives max deviation = +10 % of 3 = 0,3 ph-units, -20 % of 3 = -0,6 ph-units. ph 4.00 = -3, which gives max deviation = +10 % of -3 = -0,3 ph-units, -20 % of -3 = 0,6 ph-units. The accepted intervals in the example: calibration point 1 = ph 9,4 - ph 10,3 calibration point 2 = ph 3,7 - ph 4,6 Accepted limits for the offset value is ph 5,5 - ph 8,5-9 -
