Installation
ProcessPro transmitters are available in two styles: panel mount and field mount. The panel mount is supplied with the necessary
hardware to install the transmitter. This manual includes complete panel mounting instructions.
Field mounting requires a separate mounting kit. The 3-8050 Universal kit enables the transmitter to be installed virtually
anywhere. Detailed instructions for field installation options are included with the 3-8050 Universal kit.
1.1 Panel Installation
1.
The panel mount transmitter is designed for installation using a 1/4 DIN Punch. For manual panel cutout, an adhesive
template is provided as an installation guide. Recommended clearance on all sides between instruments is 1 inch.
2.
Place gasket on instrument, and install in panel.
3.
Slide mounting bracket over back of instrument until quick-clips snap into latches on side of instrument.
4.
To remove, secure instrument temporarily with tape from front or grip from rear of instrument. DO NOT RELEASE.
Press quick-clips outward and remove.

Wiring Tips:
•
Do not route sensor cable in conduit containing AC power wiring. Electrical noise may interfere with sensor signal.
•
Routing sensor cable in grounded metal conduit will help prevent electrical noise and mechanical damage.
•
Seal cable entry points to prevent moisture damage.
•
Only one wire should be inserted into a terminal. Splice double wires outside the terminal.

Calibration Procedure
This instrument has been electronically calibrated at the factory.
•
Procedure A verifies the accuracy and linearity of the instrument by simulating temperature and conductivity values with precision
(
±
0.1%) fixed resistors.
•
Procedure B is a wet calibration. This procedure uses the sensor input and NIST traceable test solutions. When done correctly,
this procedure offers the most accurate system calibration.

B) Wet Calibration with NIST Traceable Solutions:
When using NIST traceable standards, review the temperature information provided with the test solution. Prevent contamination of the
test solution. The sensor must be at the temperature specified on the test solution label.
•
Remove the sensor from the system. Rinse the sensor in a small amount of test solution.
•
Place the sensor into the test solution.
•
Place a reference thermometer into the same solution.
•
Allow sufficient time for the temperature to stabilize.
•
Set Temp:
Adjust the temperature value based on the reference thermometer. (see Editing Procedure.)
•
Set Cond:
Adjust the conductivity value based on the test solution value. (see Editing Procedure.)
•
Verify the linearity by placing the sensor into a second test solution of a different value.
•
If the instrument does not display the correct value (Temperature
±
0.5 ºC, Conductivity
±
2% of reading), service is required.
A) Accuracy Verification with Precision Resistors (Electronic Calibration):
1. Simulate the Temperature
The temperature input to the 8850 is a PT-1000 thermistor, where 1000 Ohms (
Ω
) is equal to 0 ºC and a change of 3.84
Ω
equals
a 1ºC change. (1000
Ω
= 0 ºC, 1003.84
Ω
= 1.0 ºC, 1007.68
Ω
= 2.0 ºC...................1096
Ω
= 25 ºC)
•
Connect a resistor (1000
Ω
to 1096
Ω
) between "Temp IN" and "Iso. Gnd" terminals.
•
Set Temp;
Adjust the temperature to exact value based on the measured resistance. (see Editing Procedure, Calibrate menu).
•
To verify the temperature linearity, connect a second resistor value to the terminals.
•
If the instrument does not display the correct value, service is required. (
±
0.5 ºC)
2. Simulate the Conductivity
You may calculate the exact Resistance needed to simulate a specific conductivity value , or you may calculate the exact Conductivity
based on a resistor value:

•
Connect the conductivity resistor between the "Signal IN " and "Iso Gnd" terminals.
•
Set Cond:
Adjust the conductivity value based on the resistor value. (see Editing
Procedure and Calibrate menu).
•
Verify the linearity of the instrument by connecting a second resistor of a different value.
•
If the instrument does not display the correct value (
±

Parts Per Million (PPM) Factor
This feature is only applicable when PPM display units are selected. The programmable PPM Factor is adjustable from 0.01 to
3.00 (factory default = 2.00).

dissolved solids (PPM).

Temperature Coefficient
Conductivity measurement is highly dependent on temperature. Temperature dependence is expressed as the relative change per
°
C,
commonly known as percent/
°
C change from 25
°
C, or slope of the solution.
Slopes can vary significantly depending on process solution type. The factory default temperature compensation factor is 2.00%/
°
C.
Process solutions may require adjustment for maximum accuracy. To determine the optimum temperature compensation factor for a
process:
1.
Disable the 8850 temperature compensation % factor by entering 0.00.
2.
Heat the sample solution close to the maximum process temperature. Place sensor in the sample solution allowing several
minutes for stabilization. Access the VIEW menu and record the displayed temperature and conductivity values in the spaces
provided:
Displayed temperature:
T1 = _______
°
C
Displayed conductivity:
C1 = _______

(Do not use this procedure for solutions from 0.055
µ
S to 0.1
µ
S (10 M
Ω
to 18 M
Ω
). An internal pure water curve is used for these
ranges. The factory default setting of 2.00%/
°
C should be used.)
3.
Cool the sample solution close to the minimum process temperature. Place sensor in the sample solution allowing several
minutes for stabilization. Record displayed temperature and conductivity values in the spaces provided:
Displayed temperature:
T2 = _______
°
C
Displayed conductivity:
C2 = _______
°
C
(A 10% change in conductivity between steps 2 and 3 is recommended.)
4.
Substitute recorded readings (steps 2 and 3) into the following formula:
TC Slope = 100 x (C1 - C2)
(C2 x (T1 - 25)) - (C1 x (T2 - 25))
Example: A sample solution has a conductivity of 205
µ
S @ 48
°
C. After cooling the solution, the conductivity was measured at
150
µ
S @ 23
°
C. (C1 = 205, T1 = 48, C2 = 150, T2 = 23)
The TC is calculated as follows:
TC Slope = 100 x (205 - 150) = 5500 =
1.42%/
°
C
(150 x (48 - 25)) - (205 x (23 - 25))

Display erratic, shows "0" or
"------" intermittently
"Too much Error
Check Sensor"
Display is over range. This may be a
normal condition if your process operates
at/near the limits of the sensor range.
The PPM factor must be a value from
0.00 to 3.00
Custom cell constant cannot be set to 0
Pulse Rate cannot be greater than 400
Aux Power not connected
• Defective or dirty/coated sensor
• Wiring error
• Fluid conductivity too low
• Defective temp element
• Check sensor for correct range.
• Check Decimal setting in OPTIONS menu.
• Check Calibrate menu settings for incompatible
SOURCE and RANGE values.
Set a PPM value less than 3.
Set cell constant to a value greater than 0
set a pulse rate value less than 400
Wire 8850 according to diagram (Section 3.1)
• Clean or replace sensor
• Check and correct wiring
• Replace sensor
Display Condition
Suggested Solutions
Possible Causes
Troubleshooting
If a Current Loop is locked at 3.6 mA, the problem is related to the temperature circuit:
This occurs only if the 8850 detects a resistance from the temperature sensor that is less than 250
Ω
or greater than 2800
Ω
.
•
Check the sensor wiring for open/short or poor connections on white (TEMP IN) and black (ISO GND)wires.
•
The PT1000 temperature device in the sensor is defective.
•
The transmitter is defective.
Auxiliary Power (terminals 1 and 2) must ALWAYS be connected for the 8850 to operate.
