Safety Summary

GENERAL Equipment Environment

WARNINGS All components, whether in transportation, operation or storage,
must be in a noncorrosive environment.
Electrical Shock Hazard During Maintenance
Disconnect power or take precautions to insure that contact with
energized parts is avoided when servicing.

SPECIFIC To prevent possible signal degradation, separate metal conduit

CAUTIONS runs are recommended for the sensor, signal and power wiring.

I-E67-84-2B March 25, 2002 vii

 SPECIFIC Use this equipment only in those classes of hazardous locations
listed on the nameplate. Uses in other hazardous locations can
WARNINGS lead to unsafe conditions that can injure personnel and damage
equipment.

Allow only qualified personnel (refer to INTENDED USER in SECTION

1 - INTRODUCTION) to commission, operate, service or repair this
equipment. Failure to follow the procedures described in this
instruction or the instructions provided with related equipment
can result in an unsafe condition that can injure personnel and
damage equipment.

Consider the material compatibility between cleaning fluids and

process liquids. Incompatible fluids can react with each other
causing injury to personnel and equipment damage.

Use solvents only in well ventilated areas. Avoid prolonged or

repeated breathing of vapors or contact with skin. Solvents can
cause nausea, dizziness, and skin irritation. In some cases,
overexposure to solvents has caused nerve and brain damage.
Solvents are flammable - do not use near extreme heat or open
flame.

Do not substitute components that compromise the certifications

listed on the nameplate. Invalidating the certifications can lead
to unsafe conditions that can injure personnel and damage
equipment.

Do not disconnect equipment unless power has been switched off at

the source or the area is known to be nonhazardous. Disconnecting
equipment in a hazardous location with source power on can produce
an ignition-capable arc that can injure personnel and damage
equipment.

Remove power from the unit and allow at least one minute for the
unit to discharge before performing these procedures. Failure to
do so constitutes an electrical shock hazard that can injure
personnel and damage equipment.

Disconnect the AC line cord or power lines from the operating

branch circuit coming from the source before attempting electrical
connections. Instruments powered by AC line voltage constitute a
potential for personnel injury due to electric shock.

Keep the enclosure and covers in place after completing the wiring
procedures and during normal operation. Do not disconnect or
connect wiring or remove or insert printed circuit boards unless
power has been removed and the flammable atmosphere is known NOT
to be present. These procedures are not considered normal
operation. The enclosure prevents operator access to energized
components and to those that can cause ignition capable arcs.
Failure to follow this warning can lead to unsafe conditions that
can injure personnel and damage equipment.

All error conditions are considered catastrophic. When such an

error has been reported, the analyzer should be replaced with a
known-good analyzer. The non-functional analyzer should be
returned to the factory for repair. Contact the factory for a
Return Materials Authorization (RMA) number.

 SECTION 1 - INTRODUCTION
OVERVIEW

The TB84EC Advantage Series is a line-powered

conductivity/concentration analyzer with
state-of-the-art electronics, internal and
external diagnostic functionality, an
innovative user-interface having HotKey
capability, two user-selectable modes of
operation, and DIN-size packaging.

Diagnostic interrogation of the internal

circuitry and external sensing devices is
continually conducted to ensure accuracy and
immediate notification of problem situations
when they occur. Detection of sensor
integrity includes sensor coating, sensor out-
of-liquid, and ground-loop detection.
Additional software functions monitor slope,
offset, process variable over/under range, and
temperature over/under range. If a diagnostic
condition occurs, the analyzer can be
programmed to induce a repetitive modulation
of a given magnitude in the output current or
can be link to a relay output thus providing
the ability to alert personnel of a problem
condition.

The analyzer packaging conforms to DIN

standards and has mounting options that
include pipe, wall, hinge, and panel
installations. Due to the modular design of
the electronics, changing the analyzer sensing
capability to other analytical properties such
as pH/ORP/pION can be quick and easy.

The user interface is an innovative, patent-

pending technology that facilitates a smooth
and problem-free link between the user and
analyzer functionality. The programming
structure and multi-function keys reduce
programming difficulties by providing a toggle
between Basic and Advanced functions.

 SECTION 2 - ANALYZER FUNCTIONALITY AND
OPERATOR INTERFACE CONTROLS
INTRODUCTION

The beginning of this section contains an

overview of the TB84EC Four-Electrode
Conductivity Advantage Series analyzer
functionality and important information for
configuration personnel. The latter part of
this section discusses the operator interface
controls. It includes descriptions of the
analyzer modes and faceplate controls.

ANALYZER OVERVIEW

The TB84EC Advantage Series analyzer provides

two analog output signals that can be
configured to the solution conductivity as
measured by the analyzer and sensor. In
addition to the two analog outputs, any of the
three integral relay outputs can be configured
as a high or low setpoint controller, cycle-
timer controller, diagnostic alarm, or cleaner
controller. In this manner, the TB84EC
Advantage Series analyzer provides a means by
which to monitor and control the conductivity
or concentration of a process fluid.

This analyzer is equipped with internal

diagnostic capabilities allowing for the
detection of any potential problems with the
electronics and operation of firmware.
Diagnostic capability also includes the
detection of sensor integrity such as ground-
loop detection, dirty sensor detection,
process variables out of range, and incorrect
calibration values.

USER INTERFACE

The user interface consists of a tactile

keypad having four Smart keys, one hidden key,
and a custom LCD. The LCD has a three and
one-half digit numeric region that displays
the process variable, a six-digit alphanumeric
region that displays secondary information and
programming prompts, and several status-
indicating and programming icons.

I-E67-84-2B March 25, 2002 2-1

 Using a novel approach (patent-pending), each
of the four keys is located under a given set
of icons. In each of the instrument modes and
mode states, one icon over any given key will
be illuminated and will represent that key’s
function. These Smart Key assignments will
vary as the user enters into different
programming modes and states. In addition to
the Smart Key assignments, text strings
located in the six character alphanumeric
field (i.e., secondary display) are used as
programming prompts. The end result is an
interface that provides a great deal of
flexibility and functionality.

MODULAR ELECTRONIC ASSEMBLIES

The TB84EC Advantage Series analyzer consists

of three separate PCB assemblies that
concentrate specific circuit functionality
onto each of the three boards. This modular
design allows for the ability to change the
instrument from one of four types of
instruments: pH/ORP/pION, four-electrode
conductivity, two-electrode conductivity, and
toroidal conductivity. In addition, analyzer
repairs can be quickly accomplished by simply
replacing the non-functioning board with one
that is operational.

TEMPERATURE COMPENSATION

The process temperature can be monitored using

one of three types of RTD inputs: 3 kohm
Balco, Pt100 (US385), and ABB’s Standard 4.75
kohm network. The secondary display area can
also be set to display the temperature in
degrees Celsius or Fahrenheit when the TB84EC
Advantage Series is in the Measure mode of
operation.

Since temperature affects the activity and

disassociation of ions and hence the
conductivity of the solution, several
temperature compensation functions are
available. Temperature compensation options
for conductivity and concentration include
Manual (0.1N KCl based) and ten types of
Automatic Compensation routines. See Section
1, Introduction, for compensation types.

I-E67-84-2B March 25, 2002 2-2

ANALOG OUTPUTS

The TB84EC Advantage Series analyzer has two

analog outputs. These outputs can be either
direct or reverse acting and can be software-
configured for a range of zero to 20 milliamps
or four to 20 milliamps. Both outputs are
separately scalable, isolated from the input,
and isolated from one another.

The analog outputs provide process information

to recorders, data loggers, and control
systems. The information transmitted can
represent (i.e., be sourced to) the
conductivity, concentration, or temperature of
the solution and be ranged across any portion
of the particular measurement range. See
Table 1-3, Specification, for minimum and
maximum range values.

RELAY OUTPUTS

The TB84EC Advantage Series analyzer has three

Form C, SPDT relay outputs. The relays can be
independently programmed to perform various
functions as required by the application.

These functions include:

C Process control (Setpoint or Cycle Timer).

C Diagnostic condition notification.
C Cleaner control.

High or Low Set Point

High or low set point relays are configurable

for any value within the measurement range.
Each set point relay output allows for
separate programmability of relay function
(high or low), set point value, deadband
value, and delay.

The example shown in Figure 2-1 illustrates a

high set point relay output of 10.00 mS/cm
with a deadband of 0.10 mS/cm. The relay
activates at 10.00 mS/cm and deactivates when
the process drops below 9.90 mS/cm. The
second half of the figure shows the same
situation with a 1.0 minute delay before the
high set point relay activates. Set point

I-E67-84-2B March 25, 2002 2-3

 functions are programmable as high or low
acting. Setpoint, deadband, and delay value
are all tunable parameters available in the
Setpoint/Tune Mode of Operation.

RO ON RO ON
SET POINT VALUE 10.00 mS/cm
RO OFF RO OFF RO OFF RO OFF

DEADBAND DELAY

Figure 2-1. High Set Point and Time Delay Example.

High or Low Cycle Timer

High or low cycle timer relays are

configurable for any value within the
measurement range. A cycle timer relay output
allows for separate programmability of relay
function (high or low), set point value, cycle
time, and on time.

The example shown in Figure 2-2 illustrates a

cycle timer that will be active when the
process variable exceeds the high set point
value of 10.00 mS/cm. Once active, the relay
output energizes for the configured on time.
As long as the process continues to exceed the
set point value, the timer will reset itself
at the end of the duty cycle (i.e., cycle
time). The set point, cycle time, and on time
are all tunable parameters available in the
Setpoint/Tune Mode of Operation.

FIGURE 2.2. Cycle Timer High Set Point Example.

I-E67-84-2B March 25, 2002 2-4

Cleaner

Automatic sensor cleaning can be accomplished

using one of the three relay outputs. At a
prescribed time interval (i.e., cycle time), a
cleaner relay output will energize and thus
enable a cleaning device. The cleaner relay
will remain energized for a configured
cleaning period (i.e., on time). Since many
cleaning devices use cleaning solutions that
can affect the process measurement, the analog
and non-cleaner relay outputs can be held
during the cleaning period. If needed, non-
cleaner relay outputs can be completely
disabled (i.e., de-energized) instead of held.
Thus, an operator does not need to be
concerned with the possibility of a non-
cleaner relay being held in an incorrect state
for an undesirable length of time.

In addition to a cleaning period, a recovery

period can be programmed to extent any
configured hold and/or disabling conditions
beyond the clean period. This feature allows
cleaning fluids to dissipate or sensor
conditions to stabilize before returning to
the normal mode of operation.

The set point, cycle time, and on time are all

tunable parameters available in the
Setpoint/Tune Mode of Operation.

DAMPING

Damping can be adjusted from 0 to 99.9

seconds. This feature is useful in noisy
process environments to help stabilize the
displayed process variable and output current
from excess bounce. Damping can be applied to
the displayed and/or analog output values.

Damping simulates a capacitive type lag where

reaction to any signal change is slowed
according to an entered time constant. For
example, a step change will reach
approximately 63 percent of its final value in
five seconds for five seconds of damping.

I-E67-84-2B March 25, 2002 2-5

DIAGNOSTICS

Diagnostics are provided for both the analyzer

and sensor. Diagnostic detection of a serious
condition that prevents the instrument from
properly functioning enables preset Safe Mode
states. These Safe Mode states are configured
by the user and forces the outputs either high
and/or low.

For problems that occur that do not render the

instrument in a non-functioning state, the
user has the option of linking these
conditions to a Diagnostic Spike that is
superimposed onto Analog Output One and/or to
a one or more relay outputs.

If the Diagnostic Spike is enabled, Analog

Output One will modulate for one out of every
six seconds. The magnitude of the modulation
can be set from 0 to 100% of the analyzer’s
maximum output (i.e., 0 to 16 or 20 mA).

Diagnostic conditions cause the FAULT and

FAULT INFO icons on the display to be
energized. Interrogation of each fault
condition is available with a single
keystroke.

Analyzer

Four critical errors in operation are

monitored and linked to the Safe Mode feature.
These conditions include inoperable or
incorrect input circuit, bad RAM, and damaged
EE memory.

Sensor

The analyzer continually performs diagnostic

checks on sensor integrity. Inconsistencies
in sensor performance are notified by the
FAULT and FAULT INFO icons as well as the
Spike Output and/or Diagnostic Relay(s) if
configured.

Sensor faults include ground-loop detection,

dirty sensor detection, high and low PV, high
and low temperature, and many more. See
Section 13, Diagnostics, for more details.

I-E67-84-2B March 25, 2002 2-6

Spike Output

Remote problem condition notification can be

initiated by the TB84EC Advantage Series
analyzer using the SPIKE State in the
Configure Mode. The Spike Output option
allows users to program a 0 to 100% (i.e., 0
to 16 mA for 4 to 20 mA configurations or 0 to
20 mA for 0 to 20 mA configurations) pulse
that will be impressed on Analog Output One
for one second out of a six second repeating
cycle should a problem condition be detected.
Should the actual output of the analyzer be
below mid-scale, the pulse will add current;
if above mid-scale, it will subtract current.

 SECTION 3 - INSTALLATION
INTRODUCTION

This section of the manual will aide the user

in all levels of the installation process.
The intention is to provide simple procedures
for placing the TB84EC Advantage Series
analyzer into service.

SPECIAL HANDLING

Besides the normal precautions for storage and

handling of electronic equipment, the analyzer
has special static sensitive device (SSD)
handling requirements. This equipment
contains semiconductors subject to damage by
discharge of static electricity; therefore,
avoid direct contact with terminal block
conductors and electronic components on the
circuit board.

To minimize the chances of damage by static

electricity, follow these techniques during
wiring, service, troubleshooting, and repair.

1. Remove assemblies containing

semiconductors from their protective
containers only:

a. When at a designated static-free work

station.

b. After firm contact with an antistatic

mat and/or gripped by a grounded individual.

2. Personnel handling assemblies with

semiconductors must be neutralized to a
static-free work station by a grounding wrist
strap connected to the station or to a good
ground point at the field site.

3. Do not allow clothing to make contact

with semiconductors. Most clothing generates
static electricity.

4. Do not touch connectors, circuit traces,

and components.

I-E67-84-2B March 25, 2002 3-1

 5. Avoid partial connection of
semiconductors. Semiconductors can be damaged
by floating leads. Always install electronic
assemblies with power removed. Do not cut
leads or lift circuit paths when
troubleshooting.

6. Ground all test equipment.

7. Avoid static charges during maintenance.

Make sure the circuit board is thoroughly
clean around its leads but do not rub or clean
with an insulating cloth.

NOTE: An antistatic field service kit, ABB part number

1948385_1, is available for personnel working on
devices containing static sensitive components. The
kit contains a static dissipative work surface (mat),
a ground cord assembly, wrist bands, and alligator
clip.

UNPACKING AND INSPECTION

Examine the equipment upon receipt for

possible damage in transit. File a damage
claim with the responsible transportation
company, if necessary. Notify the nearest ABB
sales office.

Carefully inspect the packing material before

discarding it to make certain that all
mounting equipment and any special
instructions or paperwork have been removed.
Careful handling and installation will ensure
satisfactory performance of the unit.

Use the original packing material and

container for storage. Select a storage
environment free of corrosive vapors and
extreme temperature and humidity. Storage
temperature must not exceed -40 degrees to +70
degrees Celsius (-40 degrees to +158 degrees
Fahrenheit).

Remove the protective film from the analyzer

lens after the analyzer has been placed in its
final installed location.

I-E67-84-2B March 25, 2002 3-2

LOCATION CONSIDERATIONS

When mounting the unit, leave ample clearance

for removal of the front bezel and rear cover.
Signal wiring should not run in conduit or
open trays where power wiring or heavy
electrical equipment could contact or
interfere with the signal wiring. Twisted,
shielded pairs should be used for the best
results.

The mounting location should provide easy

access for maintenance procedures and not be
in a corrosive environment. Excessive
mechanical vibrations and shocks as well as
relay and power switches should not be in the
immediate area. Additionally, this location
must conform to the temperature and humidity
constraints listed in the Table 1-3,
Specifications.

HAZARDOUS LOCATIONS

WARNING Use this equipment only in those classes of

hazardous locations listed on the nameplate.
Installations in hazardous locations other
than those listed on the nameplate can lead
to unsafe conditions that can injure
personnel and damage equipment.

Refer to Table 1-3, Specifications, in Section

1 for a list of certifications and approvals
applicable to the TB84EC Advantage Series
analyzer.

RADIO FREQUENCY INTERFERENCE

Most electronic equipment is affected to some

extent by radio frequency interference (RFI).
Caution should be exercised with regard to the
use of portable communications equipment in
areas where this electronic equipment is being
used. Post appropriate cautions in the plant
as required.

WIRING CONNECTIONS AND CABLING

CAUTION To prevent possible signal degradation,

separate metal conduit runs are recommended
for the sensor, signal, and power wiring.

Under ideal conditions, the use of conduit and

shielded wire may not be required. However,
to avoid noise problems, power, signal, and
output wiring should be enclosed in separate
conduit. Just prior to entering the housing,
rigid conduit should be terminated and a short
length of flexible conduit should be installed
to reduce any stress to the housing.
Note: To maintain a NEMA 4X/IP65 rating, use approved
conduit connections or cord grips that have the same type
of ratings.

Power and signal wiring must bear a suitable

voltage rating, have a maximum temperature
rating of 75oC (167 o
F), and must be in
accordance with all NEC requirements or
equivalent for the installation site. Use
either a standard three-prong grounded
flexible CSA certified line cord or equivalent
for power supply connection or hard wire
directly to the AC supply. If hard wiring the
AC power supply, use stranded, 14 AWG copper
conductor wire.

Signal wiring should not be run in the same

conduit or open trays where power wiring for
high amperage electrical equipment exists.
Ensure the final installation of signal and
power wiring prevents physical and/or
electrical interfere.
Note: Use weatherproof connections for all wiring ports.
Heyco RLTF ½" and LTF 9 cable grips are available through
ABB. See Section 17, Support Services.

The TB84EC Advantage Series analyzer accepts

wire sizes 12 to 24 AWG. Signal wiring should
always be twisted, shielded pairs to ensure
the best performance. Pin-style terminals are
recommended for all connections and available
as kits from the factory. See section 17,
Support Services, for more information.

I-E67-84-2B March 25, 2002 3-9

Power Wiring

WARNING Disconnect the AC line cord or power lines

from the operating branch circuit coming from
the source before attempting electrical
connections. Instruments powered by AC line
voltage constitute a potential for personnel
injury due to electric shock.

WARNING Keep the enclosure and covers in place after

completing the wiring procedures and during
normal operation. Do not disconnect or
connect wiring or remove or insert printed
circuit boards unless power has been removed
and the flammable atmosphere is known NOT to
be present. These procedures are not
considered normal operation. The enclosure
prevents operator access to energized
components and to those that can cause
ignition capable arcs. Failure to follow
this warning can lead to unsafe conditions
that can injure personnel and damage
equipment.

The TB84EC Advantage Series analyzer does not

require pre-setting a jumper to accept
different line-power voltages. Power
connections are located in the back of the
instrument housing. The terminal block label
identifies all line power, output signal, and
sensor connections.
Notes:
1. ABB recommends installing a power line switch for
safety purposes and for providing power-up and power-down
convenience when servicing the analyzer.

2. Do not power the system from a transformer that also

powers large motor loads (over five horsepower) or any
other type of equipment that generates line voltage
surges, sags and excessive noise.

Using Figure 3-7 as a reference, make line

power connections as follows:

1) Strip wire insulation back approximately

0.250" (seven millimeters) to ensure the bare
wire will make good contact with the Insulated
Pin Lug terminals and will not be exposed
beyond the pin insulator.

I-E67-84-2B March 25, 2002 3-10

 2) Crimp Pin Lug terminals to wire using
Panaduit CT 570 or equivalent.

3) Connect the specified line voltage to

TB1-1 (Line - L1), the neutral to TB1-2
(Neutral - L2), and the ground to terminal
TB1-3 (Chassis Ground).

Analog Output Signal Wiring

The terminal block label identifies the analog

output connections. Terminal polarity is
shown and must be observed to ensure proper
operation. The maximum load resistance for
the analog outputs is specified in Table 1-3,
Specifications. The maximum load resistance
must include all devices and wiring within the
analog output current loop. See Figure 3-7
for a wiring diagram.

Using Figure 3-7 as a reference, make analog

output connections as follows:

1) Strip wire insulation back approximately

0.250" (seven millimeters) to ensure the bare
wire will make good contact with the Insulated
Pin Lug terminals and will not be exposed
beyond the pin insulator.

2) Crimp Pin Lug terminals to the wire using

Panaduit CT 570 or equivalent.

3) Connect the wiring to the appropriate

analog output terminals.

Relay Output Signal Wiring

The relay outputs are shipped from the factory

in the default state of Normally Open. That
is, the relay contacts will be open when the
relay is not energized. To change the normal
state of any of the three relay outputs,
switches on the power supply PCB assembly must
be moved to different positions.

I-E67-84-2B March 25, 2002 3-11

 Using Figure 3-6 as a reference, change the
normal state of any relay output as follows:

1) Unscrew the four captive screws located

at the four corners of the Front Bezel
Assembly.

2) Lightly pull the Front Bezel Assembly

from the Shell Assembly.

3) Identify the Power Supply PCB Assembly

and relay state switches using Figure 3-6.

4) Move the switch position to the desired

normal state (i.e., Normally Open or Normally
Closed.)

1) Strip wire insulation back approximately

0.250" (seven millimeters) to ensure the bare
wire will make good contact with the Insulated
Pin Lug terminals and will not be exposed
beyond the pin insulator.

2) Crimp Pin Lug terminals to the wire using

Panaduit CT 570 or equivalent.

3) Connect the wiring to the appropriate

relay output terminals.

Four-Electrode Sensor Wiring

Instrument connections for the sensor wiring

are located next to the signal connections.
Sensor wiring should run in shielded conduit,
or similar, to protect it from environmental
influences. Do not allow the wires to become
wet or to lay on the ground or over any other
equipment. Ensure cables are not abraded,
pinched, or bent during installation.

The sensor cable has seven leads and must be

connected to the terminal block in the rear
cavity of the TB84EC analyzer. The seven
leads are color coded and have the following
functions and connections:

GROUNDING

The customer and/or wiring contractor is

responsible to ensure the analyzer, associated
control or test equipment, and all exposed
conductive materials are properly grounded.
Grounding procedures should be in accordance
with local regulations such as the National
Electrical Code (NEC), Canadian Electrical
Code (CEC), or equivalent. Equipment
installations must not pose a hazard,
including under fault conditions, to operation
and service personnel.

Signal wiring should be grounded at any one

point in the signal loop or may be ungrounded
(floating) if electrical noise is minimal.

I-E67-84-2B March 25, 2002 3-14

 The analyzer enclosure must be grounded to an
earth ground having less than 0.2 ohms of
resistance. Internal and external earth
ground terminals are provided and shown in
Figure 3-7.
Notes:

1. Because of the prevailing differences in soil

conditions and in acceptable grounding practices
throughout the world, the scope of this product
instruction is not intended to be used to describe
grounding electrode systems. The customer is responsible
to ensure a grounding electrode system is acceptable to
the local building and wiring codes.

2. Using the structural metal frame of a building as the

required equipment grounding conductor for the analyzer is
not advised.

OTHER EQUIPMENT INTERFACE

The TB84EC Advantage Series analyzer provides

two isolated current outputs that are
proportional to the process variable(s).
Since the analyzer output is isolated, each
current loop may have a maximum of one non-
isolated device within its circuit. The
maximum load on the each current loop must not
exceed the specification listed in Table 3-1,
Specifications.

INSTRUMENT ROTATION

The TB84EC Advantage Series analyzer has four

pairs of threaded mounting holes. Since these
holes are located at the corners of the
instrument, the TB84EC Advantage Series
analyzer can be positioned in any of the four
positions as demonstrated in Figure 3-8.

 SECTION 4 - OPERATING PROCEDURES
INTRODUCTION

The TB84EC Advantage Series analyzer has seven

main operating modes: Measure, Calibrate,
Output/Hold, Configure, Security, secondary
Display, and Setpoint/Tune. Within each mode,
several programming states containing
functions specific to the related mode are
available.

The TB84EC Advantage Series analyzer is

equipped with a built-in user interface
through which all analyzer functions are
programmed or monitored. In order to maximize
the viewing area and minimize the space needed
for the keypad, the interface is based on a
custom LCD that contains a group of two or
more icons for each button on the four button
keypad. The icon description represents
function of particular key.

Two display regions in the custom LCD handle

the majority of instrument functions. These
regions include a primary display area for the
process variable (e.g., pH) and a secondary
display area for programming text prompts or
auxiliary information.

In addition to the user-friendly interface,

the TB84EC Advantage Series analyzer is
equipped with a group of icons that alerts the
user to an existing FAULT condition,
diagnostic SPIKE output, output HOLD
condition, or activated RELAY. These icons
are located at the top of the LCD and are only
energized when the specified condition is
detected. FAULT conditions are shown in the
secondary display when the instrument is in
the Measure Mode of Operation and the FAULT
INFO key has been pressed.

I-E67-84-2B March 25, 2002 4-1

OPERATOR INTERFACE CONTROLS REVIEW

Liquid Crystal Display (LCD)

The LCD contains nine regions that provide the

user with information on the process variable,
engineering units, mode of operation, an
output hold, fault, relay activation,
secondary variable, and key function
assignments. Figure 4-1 shows a fully
energized LCD, Smart Keys, and mode text.

The top set of icons informs the user of

abnormal operating conditions such as an
output HOLD, FAULT, diagnostic SPIKE output,
or RELAY activation. These icons are only
energized when such a condition is detected
and are active in all modes of operation.

For the mode of operation indicators (i.e.,

right arrows positioned next to the mode
text), only one indicator will be lit and will
indicate the current mode of operation of the
analyzer. As a user moves from one mode to
the next, the appropriate indicator will
energize. The mode of operation indicators
are active in all modes of operation.

I-E67-84-2B March 25, 2002 4-2

 The process variable is displayed in the three
and one-half digit, seven segment region.
This display region is supported by the
engineering unit region. These regions are
active in all modes of operation; however, in
some programming states, the process variable
region will be used for data entry and the
engineering unit region will reflect the data
unit.

The secondary variable is displayed in the

six-character, fourteen segment region. This
display region is used for displaying
secondary information and fault information in
the Measure Mode of Operation and programming
prompt in all other modes of operation. Due
to the limited number of characters for this
display region, much of the prompting takes
the form of text abbreviations (see Appendix B
for a list of abbreviations.) This region is
active in all modes of operation.

The Smart Key assignments are grouped into

four sets of icons, each group directly
positioned above one of the four keys. These
icons are textual representations of the
function for the associated key. Only one
assignment will be energized per Smart Key at
any given time.

Multi-Function Smart Keys

A five-button, tactile keypad is located on

the front panel of the instrument. Four of
the buttons are embossed to easily show their
location. A fifth, hidden button located top,
center of the keypad has been included to
provide access to functions that are
infrequently used.

The four embossed keys are called Smart Keys

since their functions are dependent on the
mode and/or state of the instrument. Since
these four keys do not have a preassigned
function, multiple functions can be assigned
to a single key at different time by
energizing the appropriate icon. Using this
Smart Key method, a smaller number of keys can
be used without complicating instrument
functionality. If a Smart Key does not have

I-E67-84-2B March 25, 2002 4-3

 an icon energized above its location, this
Smart Key does not have a function and will
not initiate an action when pressed.

I-E67-84-2B March 25, 2002 4-4

 For each operating mode and/or state, pressing
the Smart Key initiates the displayed function
of that Smart Key. For example, the function
NEXT allows a user to cycle through a series
of programming states for a given mode of
operation. The function SELECT enables the
user to enter into the displayed mode or state
of operation. Using this method, the TB84EC
Advantage Series analyzer guides the user
through the necessary steps use to program or
monitor any given function. A general
description of each Smart Key function is
given in Table 4-1.

MODES OF OPERATION

The Measure Mode is the normal operating mode

of the TB84EC Advantage Series analyzer and is
the default mode upon power-up. The Measure
Mode is the starting point for entry into
other modes of operation. Each mode contains
a unique set of analyzer functions or states.
These modes and their related functions are
listed in Table 4-2.

Table 4-2. Mode of Operation Definitions

MODE FUNCTION
Measure Used to display the process
and secondary variables - the
normal operating mode for the
analyzer.
Calibrate Used to calibrate input and
analog output functions.
Out/Hold Used for on-line tuning of
analog output parameters or
to manually set the analyzer
outputs, for example, during
maintenance.
Configure Used to configure analyzer
functions such as temperature
compensation, temperature
sensor type, and measurement
electrode type.

I-E67-84-2B March 25, 2002 4-5

 MODE FUNCTION
Security Used to enter password
protection for the Calibrate,
Output/Hold, Configure, and
Setpoint/Tune Modes of
Operation.
Display Used to select the variable
that will be shown in the
secondary display region when
the analyzer is in the
Measure Mode of Operation.
SPT/Tune Used for on-line tuning of
relay output parameters.

HOLD ICON

The Hold icon energizes when a hold condition

is active. Outputs can be either manually or
automatically held.

Manual activation is accessible in the

Output/Hold Mode of Operation. In this mode,
the Hold State permits the output to be held
at the current level and/or state or at a
level and/or state manually set by the user.

When a relay output is configured as a

Cleaner, an option to enable an automatic hold
condition using the levels and states capture
directly before initiating the cleaning
operation can be selected. The hold condition
only occurs during the relay on and recovery
times and can be separately set for the analog
and relay outputs. If desired, the relay
outputs can be disabled instead of held during
a cleaning cycle.

FAULT ICON

The Fault icon energizes when a fault

condition has been detected by the TB84EC
Advantage Series analyzer. Fault conditions
include all problem and error detection as
outlined in Section 13, Diagnostics.

I-E67-84-2B March 25, 2002 4-6

SPIKE ICON

The Spike Output function modulates Analog

Output One from the normal level
representative of the process variable to a
value configured as a set percentage of output
current. When the TB84EC Advantage Series
analyzer has detected a fault condition and
the Spike Output function has been enabled,
Analog Output One will begin to modulate and
the Spike icon will energize. For more
information on Spike Output and Fault
conditions, see Section 13, Diagnostics.

RELAY ICONS

The Relay icons are composed of three

individual icons. Each icon represents one of
the three integral relay (i.e., Relay One,
Relay Two, and Relay Three.) When a relay
changes from its normal state to an energize
state, the corresponding Relay icon also
energizes. Since the normal state of each
relay can be set by a switch, the relay icon
will only inform the user of a state change
and not whether the relay has closed or
opened.

I-E67-84-2B March 25, 2002 4-7

I-E67-84-2B March 25, 2002 4-8
 SECTION 5 - MEASURE MODE
INTRODUCTION

The Measure Mode is the normal operating mode

of the analyzer and is the active mode upon
analyzer power-up. In this mode, the process
variable, output hold state, fault condition
state, spike output state, relay output
states, and secondary display information are
displayed. From the Measure Mode, other modes
of operation and fault information can be
accessed.

BOREDOM SWITCH

When entering an operating mode or state and

not returning to the Measure Mode as the final
step, the TB84EC Advantage Series analyzer
automatically returns to the Measure Mode of
Operation after 20 minutes of unattended use.
This feature ensures the analyzer will always
be returned to its normal mode of operation.

PRIMARY DISPLAY

The primary display shows the process

variable. The value of this variable is
dependent on the configured analyzer,

SECONDARY DISPLAY

The secondary display has the ability to show

a large variety of information. Since the
display area only has six characters, only one
item can be shown at any given time.
Typically, this region will be used for
displaying the process temperature in degrees
Celsius; however, it can be changed to display
the process temperature in degrees Fahrenheit,
output current in milliamperes (i.e., mA) for
each analog output (shown separately), sensor
group, sensor type, conductivity value and
solute name for a concentration analyzer, and
firmware revision. See Section 10, Secondary
Display, for more information.

FAULT INFORMATION Smart Key

Fault information can only be accessed from

the Measure Mode of Operation and is
interrogated using the FAULT Info Smart Key.
A fault condition causes the FAULT icon to
blink and the FAULT Info Smart Key to appear.
These indicators will be energized as long as
the fault condition is present.

When pressing the FAULT Info Smart Key, the

first fault condition will be shown in the
secondary display. A short text string
followed by the fault code will be
sequentially shown. Depressing the FAULT Info
Smart Key progressively moves from one fault
to the next until all faults have been shown.
Once all faults have been interrogated, the
FAULT icon will no longer blink and remains
energized until all fault conditions have been
removed. If a new fault condition is
detected, the FAULT icon will begin to blink
to inform the user of the newly detected
condition. For more information on fault
conditions and codes, see Section 13,
Diagnostics.

SPT Smart Key

The SPT or Setpoint Smart Key provides a

short-cut directly to the SPT/TUNE Mode of
Operation. This short-cut provides quick
access to tunable relay parameters.

I-E67-84-2B March 25, 2002 5-2

MENU Smart Key

The MENU Smart Key provides access to all

other modes of operation. By pressing the
MENU Smart Key, the analyzer moves from one
mode of operation to the next. Visual
feedback is provided in two manners: the mode
indication arrow moves to the next mode of
operation(e.g., Calibrate) and the secondary
display shows the text string representative
of that mode (e.g., CALIBR). Access into the
displayed mode of operation is allowed using
the SELECT Smart Key. An escape function to
the Measure Mode of Operation is provided
using the Exit to MEASURE Smart Key.

As seen by the detailed screen flow diagram

shown in Figure 5-1, pressing the MENU Smart
Key when in the Measure Mode moves the user to
the Calibrate Mode. Once in the Calibrate
Mode, pressing the Exit to MEASURE Smart Key
returns the analyzer back to the Measure Mode,
pressing the SELECT Smart Key moves the
analyzer into the Calibrate States of
Operation, and pressing the MENU Smart Key
moves the analyzer to the Output/Hold Mode of
Operation. Use Figure 5-1 to identify the
Smart Key assignments and the resulting
action.

Each mode of operation contains many states

used to set or tune the TB84EC Advantage
Series analyzer functions. In the following
sections of this product instruction manual,
all modes of operation will be discussed.
Screen flow diagrams showing the programming
text prompts, Smart Key assignment, and the
resulting action for each Smart Key are also
included. Refer to Appendix B for programming
text string definitions and a programming
function tree showing the relationship of all
modes and states of operation.

 SECTION 6 - CALIBRATE MODE
INTRODUCTION

The Calibrate Mode of Operation provides the

ability to calibrate the sensor input,
temperature input, and analyzer outputs.
These functions (i.e., Calibrate States of
Operation) include process variable,
temperature, edit, reset, and output
calibration.

CALIBRATE STATES OF OPERATION

The Calibrate Mode consists of six states of

operation. Table 6-1 describes the function
of each state of operation.

Table 6-1. Calibrate States

State Function
[Link] Used to calibrate the input from
the process sensor using a one-
point smart calibration that
adjusts the offset, slope, or both
based on the sensor calibration
history.
[Link] Used to calibrate the input from
the temperature sensor using a
one-point smart calibration that
adjusts the offset, slope, or both
based on sensor calibration
history.
[Link] Used to manually adjust the
process and temperature offset and
slope values.
[Link] Used to restore calibration values
for the process variable and
temperature to factory settings.
[Link] Used to calibrate Analog Output
One. Requires an external
validation device.
[Link] Used to calibrate Analog Output
Two. Requires an external
validation device.

I-E67-84-2B March 25, 2002 6-1

 When in the Calibrate Mode, the NEXT Smart Key
provides access to all Calibrate States.
Pressing the NEXT Smart Key sequentially moves
the user through each Calibrate State. This
cycle repeats until a Calibrate State is
selected using the SELECT Smart Key, or the
escape function is chosen using the Exit To

States of Operation.

The following subsections contain detailed

descriptions of each Calibrate State of
Operation.

Conductivity/Concentration Calibrate State

I-E67-84-2B March 25, 2002 6-2

 The Conductivity/Concentration Calibrate State
is a smart one-point calibration routine that
allows for single- or dual-point calibrations.
By initiating calibrations at two different
conductivity values having ample separation,
the TB84EC Advantage Series analyzer
automatically adjusts the offset, slope, or
both in order to obtain the best sensor
performance. Since this routine only uses the
most recent calibration data, calibration can
be conducted throughout the sensor's life thus
ensuring consistent sensor performance. If an
incorrect calibration has been entered, the
Reset Calibrate State provides the ability to
return analyzer calibration to factory
settings. See Reset Calibrate State in this
section.
Note: The Reset Calibration State will reset all
calibration values including the temperature
sensor; therefore, calibration of the
temperature sensor is required after performing
a Reset Calibration.

Since the TB84EC Advantage Series analyzer can

be configured as a Conductivity or
Concentration analyzer, the smart one-point
calibration routines will automatically set
the units of calibration to be the same as
those for the measured process variable.
Thus, a Conductivity Analyzer uses
conductivity units and a Concentration
Analyzer uses the user-defined units set in
the Configure Mode of Operation.

Conduct a Conductivity or Concentration

Calibration using the following procedure:

1) Once the sensor has been installed and

has reached the temperature of the
process solution, verify the process
variable value using a grab sample and an
external instrument having the same type
of temperature compensation.

2) Select [Link] (i.e.,

Conductivity/Concentration Calibrate
State) in the Calibrate Mode of Operation
using the SELECT Key.

3) Confirm the displayed reading is STABL?

I-E67-84-2B March 25, 2002 6-3

 (i.e., stable) using either the YES or NO
Key. If the NO Key is pressed, the
TB84EC Advantage Series analyzer will
return to the Conductivity/Concentration
Calibrate State (i.e., [Link]). For an
unstable condition, conduct one or more
of the following steps:

a) Wait until the process liquid

composition stabilizes,
b) Check to see if the TB84EC
Advantage Series analyzer has
detected a Fault condition by
looking for the Fault icon on the
LCD. Interrogate the fault by
escaping to the Measure Mode
using the Exit to MEASURE Key and
the FAULT Info Key in that order.
c) See Section 13, Troubleshooting.

4) If the YES Key is pressed, enter the NEW

VAL (i.e., new process variable) that
reflects the difference between the grab
sample value and the indicated value when
the grab sample was taken (i.e., Current
TB84 Indication + [Grab Sample Value -
TB84 Indication at the time the grab
sample was taken]). Use the Key to
increment the digit value and the Key
to move to the next digit and/or unit of
conductivity. Press the ENTER Key to
enter the new value.

Invalid new calibration values will generate

the text string [Link], and the calibration
value will not be accepted. If the new value
is valid, the Slope value will be shown.
Pressing the NEXT Smart Key displays the
Offset value. At this point, the user can
return to the Conductivity/Concentration
Calibrate State by pressing the NEXT Key or to
the Measure Mode by pressing the Exit To
MEASURE Key.

I-E67-84-2B March 25, 2002 6-4

Temperature Calibrate State

The Temperature Calibrate State is a smart

calibration routine that allows for both
single- and dual-point calibration. By
calibrating the temperature at two points
which are at least 20oC apart, the TB84EC
Advantage Series analyzer automatically
adjusts the offset and/or slope. Since this
routine only uses the most recent calibration
data, calibrations can be conducted throughout
the sensor’s life to ensure accurate
measurement of the temperature sensing device.
If an incorrect calibration has been entered,
the Reset Calibrate State can restore the
calibration to factory settings. See Reset
Calibrate State in this section.
Note: The Reset Calibrate State will reset all
calibration values including the process sensor;
therefore, the process sensor will require
calibration after performing a Reset
Calibration.

Conduct a Temperature Calibration using Figure

6-3 and the following procedure:

1) Before installing the sensor into its

final installed location, allow the
sensor to reach ambient temperature.

2) Select the Temperature Calibrate State of

Operation using the SELECT Key.

3) Set the engineering unit by pressing the

Key to toggle the unit between oC (i.e.,
degrees Celsius) or oF (i.e., degrees
Fahrenheit), and press the ENTER Key to
use the displayed engineering unit.

4) Confirm the displayed reading is STABL?

(i.e., stable) using either the YES or NO
Key. If the NO Key is pressed, the
TB84EC Advantage Series analyzer will
return to the Temperature Calibrate
State. For an unstable condition,
conduct one or more of the following
steps:

a) Wait until the temperature

stabilizes,

I-E67-84-2B March 25, 2002 6-5

 b) Check to see if the TB84EC
Advantage Series analyzer has
detected a Fault condition by
looking for the Fault icon on the
LCD. Interrogate the fault by
escaping to the Measure Mode
using the Exit to MEASURE Key and
the FAULT Info Key in that order.
c) See Section 14, Troubleshooting.

 5) If the reading was stable, enter the
temperature as the NEW VAL (i.e., new
temperature value) using the Key to
increment the blinking digit and the
Key to move to the next digit. Press the
ENTER Key to enter the new value.

6) Repeat steps 1 through 5 once the sensor

has been mounted in its final installed
location; however, use the process fluid
temperature as the NEW VAL.

Edit Calibrate State

The Edit Calibrate State allows a user to

manually adjust the sensor and temperature
slope and offset values. Though this function
may not be suitable for many applications, the
Edit Calibrate State facilitates quick and
easy access to calibration values for
troubleshooting purposes.

Conduct an Edit Calibration using the

following procedure.

1) Select the Edit Calibrate State of

Operation using the SELECT Key.

2) Edit the sensor PV SLP (i.e., slope)

value using the Key to increment the
blinking digit and the Key to move to
the next digit. Press the ENTER Key to
enter the new value or to proceed to the
sensor offset value. Press the Exit To
MEASURE Key to escape to the Measure
Mode. Valid slope values range from 0.20
to 5.00.

3) Edit the sensor PV OFF (i.e., offset)

value using the Key to increment the
blinking digit and the Key to move to
the next digit. Press the ENTER Key to
enter the new value or to proceed to the
temperature slope value. Press the Exit
To MEASURE Key to escape to the Measure
Mode. Valid offset values range from 20
µS/cm for Sensor Group A, 4 µS/cm for
Sensor Group B, and 0.8 µS/cm for Sensor
Group C.

I-E67-84-2B March 25, 2002 6-7

 4) Edit the temperature [Link] value using
the Key to increment the blinking
digit and the Key to move to the next
digit. Press the ENTER Key to enter the
new value or to proceed to the
temperature offset value. Press the Exit
To MEASURE Key to escape to the Measure
Mode. Valid slope values range from 0.2
to 1.5.

5) Edit the temperature [Link] value using

the Key to increment the blinking
digit and the Key to move to the next
digit. Press the ENTER Key to enter the
new value or to proceed to the Edit
Calibrate State. Press the Exit To
MEASURE Key to escape to the Measure
Mode. Valid offset values range from -40
to +40oC.

The Edit Calibrate State can be useful for

installing several measurement loops that use
the same sensor Group, cable length, and
mounting configuration. For such a
circumstance, the calibration data from one
analyzer can be transfered to the others.
Also, manually entered calibration values can
provide enough accurancy for some
installations or provide a good starting point
before a formal calibration can be initiated.
Nominal sensor slope values are:

Sensor Group Slope

A 0.70
B 0.80
C 1.25

Reset Calibrate State

The Reset Calibrate State sets all calibration

data (i.e., sensor and temperature) to factory
values. This state purges calibration history
and should be initiated before calibrating a
new sensor.

I-E67-84-2B March 25, 2002 6-8

 When interrogating the calibration values
after a reset has been performed, the slope
and offset values for both the sensor and
temperature will be set to 1.000 and 0.000,
respectively.

Conduct a Reset Calibrate using the following

procedure.

1) Select the Reset Calibrate State of

Operation using the SELECT Key.

2) Confirm or refuse the RESET? operation

using either the YES or NO Key,
respectively.
Note: The Reset Calibration State will reset all
calibration values; therefore, the process
sensor and temperature sensor will require
calibration after performing a Reset
Calibration.

Analog Output One Calibrate State

The Analog Output One Calibrate State trims

the output signal to maintain precise
transmission of the process variable to the
final monitoring system. Though the TB84EC
Advantage Series analyzer output current is
factory calibrated, the output can be trimmed
to compensate for other input/output devices.

Conduct an Output Calibration using the

following procedure.

1) Select the Output Calibrate State of

Operation using the SELECT Key.

2) Use the or Keys to increase or

decrease the 1 or 4 milliampere output
signal. Press the ENTER Key to enter the
new value or to proceed to the 20
milliampere output level.
Note: The 1 milliampere is used as the lower
calibration point for 0 to 20 milliampere output
configurations.

I-E67-84-2B March 25, 2002 6-9

 3) Use the or Keys to increase or
decrease the 20 milliampere output
signal. Press the ENTER Key to enter the
new value or to proceed to the Output
Calibrate State.
Note: If the output level has been adjusted and
the adjusted level has been entered using the
Enter Key, this adjusted value will be
permanently stored. To rectify a bad
calibration, the output calibration procedure
must be repeated.

Analog Output Two Calibrate State

The Analog Output Two Calibrate State trims

the output signal to maintain precise
transmission of the process variable to the
final monitoring system. Though the TB84EC
Advantage Series analyzer output current is
factory calibrated, the output can be trimmed
to compensate for other input/output devices.

Conduct an Output Calibration using the

following procedure.

1) Select the Output Calibrate State of

Operation using the SELECT Key.

2) Use the or Keys to increase or

decrease the 1 or 4 milliampere output
signal. Press the ENTER Key to enter the
new value or to proceed to the 20
milliampere output level.
Note: The 1 milliampere is used as the lower
calibration point for 0 to 20 milliampere output
configurations.

3) Use the or Keys to increase or

decrease the 20 milliampere output
signal. Press the ENTER Key to enter the
new value or to proceed to the Output
Calibrate State.
Note: If the output level has been adjusted and
the adjusted level has been entered using the
Enter Key, this adjusted value will be
permanently stored. To rectify a bad
calibration, the output calibration procedure
must be repeated.

I-E67-84-2B March 25, 2002 6-10

 SECTION 7 - OUTPUT/HOLD MODE
INTRODUCTION

The Output/Hold Mode of Operation provides the

ability to set the outputs to fixed levels
and/or states, change the output ranges, damp
the output signals, or disable the diagnostic
spike.

OUTPUT/HOLD STATES OF OPERATION

The Output/Hold Mode consists of six states of

operation. Table 7-1 describes the function
of each state of operation.

Table 7-1. Output/Hold States

State Function
HOLD Used to fix output levels and/or
states to values captured when
the hold was initiated or to
manually entered values, or used
to release an existing output
HOLD state.
[Link] Used to change Analog Output One
range.
[Link] Used to change Analog Output Two
range.
DAMPNG Used to reduce fluctuation in
the displayed values and/or
output signals.
SPIKE Used to enable or disable the
spike output function if
configured.

In the Output/Hold Mode, the NEXT Smart Key

sequentially sequentially moves the user
through the other Output/Hold States. The
cycle repeats until an Output/Hold State is
selected using the SELECT Smart Key or the
escape function is chosen using the Exit To
MEASURE Smart Key. Use Figure 7-1 to identify
Smart Key assignments and the resulting
action.

causes the TB84EC Advantage Series analyzer to
hold all analog and relay outputs at the
levels and states captured upon the time of
confirmation. If a Hold All or Release Hold
action in not confirmed by using the NO Key,
each output can be independently held to the

Note: If the YES key was used to commission a
hold condition on any output, initiating the
escape function will not affect the commissioned
Hold condition. To release this Hold condition,
the Hold State must be re-enter and the Hold
condition released either by using the YES Key
when requested to release all hold conditions
(i.e., [Link]) or by removing the hold
condition using the NO Key when individually
setting each output.

If a hold condition(s) already exists and the

user selects the Hold State of Operation, the
TB84EC Advantage Series analyzer will request
whether all hold conditions should be released
(i.e., [Link]). Press the YES Key if all
hold conditions should be released and the NO
Key to edit the existing hold conditions.

Analog Output One Rerange State

The Analog Output One Rerange Output/Hold

State provides the ability to change the
output range of Analog Output One. One or
both end point values can be changed to any
value or range of values that are within the
specifications listed in Table 1-3.

If a non-linear output is configured,

reranging the end point values will affect the
non-linear relationship. Since the non-linear
relationship is set as a percentage input
against a percentage output, changing the end
point values should accompany a review of the
break point relationship. See Section 8,
Configure Mode, for information on viewing and
modifying the non-linear break points.

I-E67-84-2B March 25, 2002 7-6

 Conduct a Rerange of the output values using
the following procedure:

1) Select the Rerange State of Operation

using the SELECT Key.

2) Edit the process variable value for the

zero or four milliampere point
(determined by the analyzer’s
configuration) using the Key to
increment the blinking digit and the
Key to move to the next digit and press
the ENTER Key to enter the new value, or
press the ENTER Key to continue to the 20
milliampere value. Press the Exit To
MEASURE Key to escape to the Measure
Mode.

3) Press the ENTER or Exit To MEASURE Key to

the ENTER Key to enter the new value.

Note: If 1)the zero or four milliampere value is

changed, 2)the new value is valid per the
specification in Table 1-3, 3)this change is
accepted using the Enter Key, and 4)the user
escapes to the Measure Mode using the Exit To
Measure Key without adjusting the 20 milliampere
value, the output range will now reflect the
newly entered zero or four milliampere point.

Analog Output Two Rerange State

The Analog Output Two Rerange Output/Hold

State provides the ability to change the
output range of Analog Output Two. One or
both end point values can be changed to any
value or range of values that are within the
specifications listed in Table 1-3.

Conduct a Rerange of the output values using

the following procedure:

1) Select the Rerange State of Operation

using the SELECT Key.

I-E67-84-2B March 25, 2002 7-7

 2) Edit the process variable value for the
zero or four milliampere point
(determined by the analyzer’s
configuration) using the Key to
increment the blinking digit and the
Key to move to the next digit and press
the ENTER Key to enter the new value, or
press the ENTER Key to continue to the 20
milliampere value. Press the Exit To
MEASURE Key to escape to the Measure
Mode.

3) Press the ENTER or Exit To MEASURE Key to

escape to the Measure Mode, or edit the
process variable value for the 20
milliampere point using the Key to

Key to move to the next digit and press
the ENTER Key to enter the new value.

Note: If 1)the zero or four milliampere value is

changed, 2)the new value is valid per the
specification in Table 1-3, 3)this change is
accepted using the Enter Key, and 4)the user
escapes to the Measure Mode using the Exit To
Measure Key without adjusting the 20 milliampere
value, the output range will now reflect the
newly entered zero or four milliampere point.

Damping State

The Damping State applies a lag function on

the input signal for Basic configuration or
can apply different lag functions to the
display process variable, Analog Output One,
and Analog Output Two for Advanced
configurations. The Damping function reduces
the fluctuations caused by erratic process
conditions. Damping values can be set from
0.0 to 99.9 seconds and represent the time
required to reach 63.2% of a step change.

For Basic configurations, the damping value is

applied to the analyzer’s input signals. In
this case, damping will be applied to the
displayed process variables and analog
outputs. For Advanced configurations,
different damping values can be applied to
each output element (i.e., the displayed
process variables, Analog Output One, and
Analog Output Two.)

Spike State

The Spike State toggles the operational state

of the spike output function. The spike
function modulates the current output on
Analog Output One by the amount established in
the analyzer configuration. See Section 2,
Analyzer Functionality And Operator Interface
Controls, and Section 8, Configure Mode, for
more information.

Toggle the Spike output using the following

procedure:

1) Select the Spike State of Operation using

the SELECT Key.

2) Toggle the spike output function to the

desired state (i.e., OFF or ON) using the
Key, and press the ENTER Key to
accept. Press the Exit To MEASURE Key to
escape to the Measure Mode.

Note: Once the Spike State is OFF, changing the

configured spike level in the Configure Mode
will not re-enable the Spike State. The Spike
State can only be turned ON or OFF in the
Output/Hold Mode of Operation.

I-E67-84-2B March 25, 2002 7-10

 SECTION 8 - CONFIGURE MODE
INTRODUCTION

The Configure Mode of Operation establishes

the operating parameters of the TB84EC
Advantage Series analyzer. These parameters
include programming type, analyzer type,
sensor type, temperature compensation type,
analog output ranges, relay output parameters,
damping value(s), diagnostic functionality,
safe mode levels, and spike magnitude (i.e.,
level).

A description of each configuration item and

related parameters will be included. Review
each of the following sections before
configuring the TB84EC Advantage Series
analyzer.

PRECONFIGURATION DATA REQUIRED

Before attempting to configure the TB84EC

Advantage Series analyzer, the following
requirements must be defined.

1. Analyzer parameters.

2. Analog Output Range values.

3. Relay Output function and parameters.

4. Security requirements.

5. Sensor Diagnostic functionality.

Use the worksheets found in Appendix C to help

establish the proper settings for any given
application. Use these sheets during the
configuration entry procedure and retain them
as a historical record for future reference.

CONFIGURE VIEW/MODIFY STATE

Upon selecting the Configure Mode of

Operation, a decision point is reached to
Modify or View the configuration of the TB84EC
Advantage Series analyzer. The Modify
Configure State enables analyzer options to be

I-E67-84-2B March 25, 2002 8-1

 set and saved into memory. In order to
provide the ability to secure the Modify
Configure State yet leave the ability to view
configuration information, the View Configure
State can be entered without using a security
code.

As seen in Figure 8-1, the TB84EC Advantage

Series analyzer queries if the user would like
to Modify the configuration. Pressing the YES
Smart Key moves the user into the Modify
Configure State, pressing the NO Smart Key
moves the user to the View configuration
query, and pressing the Exit To MEASURE Smart
Key escapes to the Measure Mode.

I-E67-84-2B March 25, 2002 8-2

 If a configuration requires modification and
the user is in the View Configure State,
access to the Modify Configure State is
provided through a HotKey function. The
HotKey links the View Configure State to the
Modify Configured State using the ENTER Smart
Key. For example, the [Link] (i.e.,
temperature sensor) in the View Configure
State can be modified from PT 100 to None by
pressing the ENTER Smart Key when viewing the
PT 100 option. An intermediate confirmation
screen will query the user on their desire to
modify this option using the YES and NO Smart
Keys. If the Modify Configure State has been
secured, the security code will be requested.
Upon entering the correct code or if the
Modify Configure State has not been secured,
the TB84EC Advantage Series analyzer will go
directly to [Link] Modify Configure State and
allow the user to change the temperature
sensor type. After completing the change,
pressing Exit To MEASURE Smart Key moves the
user to the configuration SAVE? State.
Pressing the YES Smart Key saves the new
temperature sensor option and returns the
analyzer to the Measure Mode.

BASIC/ADVANCED PROGRAMMING MODE

The Configure Mode is split into two

programming groups: Basic and Advanced. These
two options are specified by nomenclature and
control the number of configuration options
available in the Modify Configure State.

The Basic Programming Mode contains a subset

of configuration options found in the Advanced
mode. Separation into two programming groups
is advantageous when limited functionality is
desired. Fewer options reduces confusion and
the possibility of configuration errors.

When Advanced programming is ordered, the

programming toggle (i.e., Basic/Advanced) must
be set in two locations: the User State in the
Utility Mode and the Modify Configure State in
the Configure Mode. In order to select either
the Basic or Advanced Programming Mode in the
Modify Configure State, the Programming Mode
must be set to Advanced in the User State.

I-E67-84-2B March 25, 2002 8-3

 See Section 11, Utility Mode, for more
information on setting the User State
programming mode to Advanced.

When in the Configure Mode and Advanced

programming has been set in the User State,
the TB84EC Advantage Series analyzer queries
if the user would like Basic programming.
Pressing the ENTER Smart Key moves the user to
the Modify Configure States, pressing the NEXT
Smart Key moves the user to the Advanced
programming query, and pressing the Exit To
MEASURE Smart Key escapes to the Measure Mode.
To set the analyzer to Advanced programming,
the user presses the ENTER Smart Key when
queried to set the programming to Advanced.
See Figure 8-1 for the corresponding screen
flows.

MODIFY CONFIGURE STATES OF OPERATION

Since the View Configure State only displays

the configured options, the following
sections will strictly focus on each Modify
Configure State and the available options for
these states.

The Modify Configure State contains all the

available settings that establishes the
functionality of the TB84EC Advantage Series
analyzer. Upon receipt of the analyzer, the
default configuration (unless otherwise
specified by the customer when ordering the
TB84EC Advantage Series analyzer) will be used
once the analyzer has been powered. See the
Preface or Appendix C for the default
configuration settings.

Before installing the analyzer, the

configuration should be modified to reflect
the final installed application. The Modify
Configure States define the analyzer type,
sensor interface, output parameters, and
diagnostic functionality. Table 8-1 describes
each of these programming modes and their
function.

Configure States of Operation - Part Two.

The following subsections contain detailed

descriptions of each Modify Configure State of
Operation.

I-E67-84-2B March 25, 2002 8-7

Analyzer State (Basic/Advanced)

The Analyzer State determines the type of

analyzer and sensor. Table 8-2 describes the
function and programming mode of each state.

Table 8-2. Analyzer States

State Function Programming

Mode
Conductivity Used to measure the conductivity Basic/Advanced
of a solution. Process variable
engineering units are mS/cm and
µS/cm.
Concentration Used to measure the conductivity Advanced
of a solution and convert this
non-specific measurement to a
specific solute concentration.
Process variable engineering
units are %, ppm, ppb, and user-
defined.

Conductivity Analyzer State (Basic/Advanced)

The Conductivity Analyzer State contains three

choices that corresponds with the type of
four-electrode sensor group: A, B, or C. The
Sensor Group identifies the sensor’s cell
constant and conforms to the conductivity
ranges specified in Table 1-3. Since the cell
constant is influenced by surface area of the
electrodes, the physical orientation of the
final sensor installation, and the measured
solution voltage set by the electronics, ABB
four-electrode sensors are the only
recommended sensor for use with the TB84EC
Advantage Series analyzer.

Configure a Conductivity Analyzer State using

the following procedure:
1) Select the ANALZR (i.e., Analyzer) State
in the Configure Mode of Operation using
the SELECT Key.

2a) If the Programming Mode is set to Basic,

the TB84EC Advantage Series analyzer goes
directly to the sensor type options.
Skip to step 3.

I-E67-84-2B March 25, 2002 8-8

 2b) If the Programming Mode is set to
Advanced, choose the COND State by using
the NEXT Key to toggle between COND and
CONCEN (i.e., Conductivity and
Concentration, respectively). Once the
correct option is display, press the
ENTER Key to accept the choice.

Note: CONCEN State is only available when the

Advanced Programming State has been purchased
and selected. See Section 11, Utility Mode,
for Programming Mode selection.

3) Set the sensor group by using the NEXT

Key to scroll through the three sensor
groups: A GRP, B GRP, and C GRP. Once
the correct option is displayed, press
the ENTER Key to accept the choice.

Concentration State (Advanced)

The Concentration State converts conductivity

values to concentration units. This state
applies temperature-compensated conductivity
measurements to a pre-defined or user-defined
function that converts the conductivity
measurements to concentration values having a
fixed decimal point location (i.e., automatic
decimal point ranging is not support).

The Concentration State provides the following

pre-defined configurations:

! 0 to 15% Sodium Hydroxide (NaOH)

! 0 to 20% Sodium Chloride (NaCl)
! 0 to 18% Hydrochloric Acid (HCl)
! 0 to 20% Sulfuric Acid (H2SO4)

These pre-defined configurations are based on

data contained in the International Critical
Tables. For more information, see Appendix B,
Concentration Programming.

The user-defined configuration provides

capability for selecting an Engineering Unit
icon, decimal point position, custom text
description, and six-point linear curve fit.
The Engineering Unit icon options include
percent (i.e., %), parts-per-million (i.e.,
ppm), parts-per-billion (i.e., ppb), and no
Engineering Unit icon.

I-E67-84-2B March 25, 2002 8-9

 The six-point linear curve fit sets the end-
point and break-point values of the desired
conductivity-to-concentration conversion. The
end-point values define the full-scale output
range, and the break-points identify the
transition points between the five line
segments defining the conductivity-to-
concentration curve.

To define the end-points and break-points, a

plot of temperature-compensated conductivity
against solute concentration must be divided
into five line segments that best approximate
the shape of the conductivity-to-concentration
curve. The beginning of the first and end of
the fifth line segment identify the end-points
of the linear approximation and output range.

Table 8-3 and Figure 8-3 show example data and

the linear approximation for 0 to 45% NH4NO3.
As can be seen by this example, the
conductivity-to-concentration curve is a non-
linear function which has been divided into
five line segments. The end-points represent
Point Numbers 1 and 6, while the break-points
represent Point Numbers 2 through 5. Also
note, the analyzer output is linear relative
to the solute concentration (i.e., Ammonium
Nitrate concentration). Since the end-points
(i.e., Point Numbers 1 and 6) define the full-
scale output range, rerange of the output
values is restrained to the range between
these points (i.e., 0 and 45% Ammonium
Nitrate). For more information, see Appendix
B, Concentration Programming.

2) Choose the CONCEN State by using the NEXT

Key to toggle between COND and CONCEN
(i.e., Conductivity and Concentration,
respectively). Once the correct option
is displayed, press the ENTER Key to
accept the choice.

Note: CONCEN State is only available when the

Advanced Programming State has been purchased
and selected. See Section 11, Utility Mode,
for Programming Mode selection.

I-E67-84-2B March 25, 2002 8-11

 3) Set the sensor group by using the NEXT
Key to scroll through the three sensor
groups: A GRP, B GRP, and C GRP. Once
the correct option is displayed, press
the ENTER Key to accept the choice.

4) Set one of the four pre-defined

concentration options (i.e., NAOH, NACL,
HCL, or H2SO4) or the User-Defined option
by using the NEXT Key to scroll through
the available options. Once the correct
option is displayed, press the ENTER Key
to accept the choice. Note, for Sensor
Group B and C, the User-Defined option is
the only available option.

5a) For canned concentration configurations,

the TB84EC will return to the Analyzer
State thus providing access to the
remaining configuration options.

5b) For User-Defined configurations, choose

one of the four icon options (i.e., %,
ppm, ppb, and [Link]) using the NEXT
Key. Once the correct option is
displayed, press the ENTER Key to accept
the choice. Complete steps 6 through 11
below.

6) Choose the decimal point location by

using the Key to move the blinking
decimal point to the next location.
Press the ENTER Key to set the decimal
point location.

7) Set the text string by using the Key

to increment the character and the Key
to move to the next character and press
the ENTER Key to enter the text string.

8) Set the end-point conductivity value

(i.e., [Link]) by using the Key to
increment the blinking digit and the
Key to move to the next digit. Press the
ENTER Key to enter the value.

I-E67-84-2B March 25, 2002 8-12

 9) Set the end-point concentration value
(e.g., [Link]) that represents the end-
point conductivity value entered in step
9 by using the Key to increment the
blinking digit and the Key to move to
the next digit. Press the ENTER Key to
enter the value.

10) Set the next four break-point values

(i.e., [Link]/[Link], [Link]/[Link],
etc.) using the same technique described
in steps 8 and 9.

11) Set the final end-point values (i.e.,

[Link]/[Link]) using the same technique
described in steps 8 and 9.

Temperature Sensor State (Basic/Advanced)

The Temperature Sensor State configures the

temperature input for a Pt100, 3 kohm Balco,
4.75 kohm Network, or none. When the "NONE"
option is entered, the temperature and
temperature compensation will be fixed at 25oC
and MANUAL, respectively. To change the fixed
temperature, a temperature calibration to the
desired temperature value is required.

Set the Temperature Sensor State using the

following procedure.

1) Select the [Link] (i.e., Temperature

Sensor) State in the Configure Mode of
Operation using the SELECT Key.

2) Choose the desired temperature sensor by

using the NEXT Key to toggle between
NONE, [Link] (i.e., 3 kohm Balco),
PT100, and [Link] (i.e., 4.75 kohm
Network). Enter the option by using the
ENTER Key when the correct sensor is
displayed in the secondary display.

Temperature Compensation State (Basic/Advanced)

Temperature has a marked effect on the

conductance of many solutions. The effect is
generally nonlinear and dependent on the types
of ions and their concentration.

I-E67-84-2B March 25, 2002 8-13

 The TB84EC Advantage Series analyzer contains
a number of preprogrammed correction
algorithms that compensate the effect of
temperature on conductivity to a reference
temperature of 25oC. Thus, the displayed and
transmitted process variable can be accurately
determined as the process temperature varies.

For the Advanced Programming Mode, the

reference temperature can be set to values
other than 25oC. Valid reference temperature
values are limited to the displayed
temperature range as listed in the Table 1-3,
Specifications.

The options for temperature compensation are

grouped into two sets: MANUAL and AUTO (i.e.,
Automatic). MANUAL temperature compensation
does not contain any additional options and is
locked to a specific process temperature
independent of the selected temperature
sensor. If a different process temperature is
desired, the new temperature can be set using
a temperature calibration and will be used to
temperature compensate the process variable to
the reference temperature.

The AUTO compensation options are sensor group

dependent and use the temperature values
measured by input from the temperature sensor
that is either integral or external to the
sensor. Within the AUTO State, compensation
algorithms include Standard KCl (0.1N KCl
based), Solution Coefficient, 0 to 15% NaOH, 0
to 20% Sodium Chloride, 0 to 18% Hydrochloric
Acid, 0 to 20% Sulfuric Acid, Pure Water
Neutral, Pure Water Acid, Pure Water Base, and
User-Defined.

The User-Defined temperature compensation

option requires uncompensated conductivity
data on a representative sample of the process
solution ranging from the reference
temperature of 25EC to the maximum process
temperature. With this data, the ratio of
uncompensated conductivity to conductivity at
the reference temperature of 25EC is

Determination.

I-E67-84-2B March 25, 2002 8-15

 Table and Figure 8-4 shows an example of a
typical user-defined temperature compensation
plot. As seen in this example, the non-linear
plot is segmented into five linear sections.
The end-points (i.e., columns 1 and 3 of Table
8-4) of each section are used to define the
break-points for the user-defined temperature
compensation option. Each set of point are
entered in sequence from the lowest to the
highest (e.g., 0EC/0.70 for TMP1EC/K1/K25,
25EC/1.00 for TMP2EC/K2/K25, ..., 200EC/0.88
for TMP6EC/K6/K25).

Table 8-5, Temperature Compensation States,

lists the temperature compensation options,
their functions, and the Programming Modes in
which they are available.

providing access to the remaining
configuration options.

3b) For AUTO compensation, choose one of the

compensation options using the NEXT Key.
Once the correct option is displayed,
press the ENTER Key to accept the choice.

4) For the [Link] (i.e., Temperature

Compensation Coefficient) option, set the
coefficient value by using the Key to
increment the blinking digit and the
Key to move to the next digit. Press the
ENTER Key to enter the value.

I-E67-84-2B March 25, 2002 8-17

 5a) For the [Link] (i.e., User-Defined)
option, enter the TMP1EC (i.e.,
Temperature point 1 in degrees Celsius)
by using the Key to increment the
blinking digit and the Key to move to
the next digit. Press the ENTER Key to
enter the value and continue onto the
ratio entry state.

5b) Enter the K1/K25 (i.e., the ratio of the

Conductivity for point 1 to the
Conductivity at the reference temperature
of 25EC) by using the Key to increment
the blinking digit and the Key to move
to the next digit. Press the ENTER Key
to enter the value.

5c) Repeat steps 5a and 5b for the remaining

five points.

6) For the Advanced Programming Mode, enter

a new reference temperature value by
using the Key to increment the
blinking digit and the Key to move to
the next digit. Press the ENTER Key once
the new value has been entered or press
the ENTER Key to accept the default value
of 25EC.

Analog Output One State (Basic/Advanced)

The Analog Output One State sets the output

span, range, and function. The output span is
software selectable for either zero to 20
milliamperes or four to 20 milliamperes and is
sourced to the Primary Process Variable. For
Basic configurations, the output function can
only be linear. Lower and upper range values
must be entered and are defaulted to the full
scale process variable range. For Advanced
configurations, the output function can be
linear or non-linear. For a non-linear
output, lower and upper range values must also
be entered as well as five break points.

I-E67-84-2B March 25, 2002 8-18

 Linear Output State (Basic/Advanced)

The Linear Output State establishes the lower

and upper range values. The default values
for the output represent the full scale
process variable range. See Table 1-3,
Specifications, for full scale variable
ranges.

For a reverse acting output, reverse the zero

or four and 20 milliampere values (e.g., 199.9
mS/cm for the zero or four milliampere value
and 0 mS/cm for the 20 milliampere value).

Set the Linear Output State using Figure 8-5

as reference and the following procedure:

I-E67-84-2B March 25, 2002 8-19

 1) Select the [Link] State in the Configure
Mode of Operation using the SELECT Key.

2) Set the output span using the NEXT Key to

toggle between 4-20MA and 0-20MA, and
press the ENTER Key to enter the desired
span.

3) Set the process variable value for the 0

or 4 milliampere point using the Key
to increment the blinking digit and the
Key to move to the next digit, and
press the ENTER Key to enter the desired
value.

4) Set the process variable value for the 20

milliampere point using the Key to
increment the blinking digit and the
Key to move to the next digit, and press
the ENTER Key to enter the desired value.

5) Select the LINEAR Output State using the

SELECT Key for Advanced configurations.
For Basic configurations, this step will
not be accessible.

Non-Linear Output State (Advanced)

The Non-Linear Output State sets the end point

and break point values for a non-linear output
function. The default values for the output
represent the full scale process variable
range (e.g.,0 to 199.9 mS/cm) and the break
points are set for a linear output (e.g., 20%
input equals 20% output).

To define the break point values, a plot of

the process variable against the desired
output (or variable that represents the output
value) must be segmented into six linear
regions that best fit the non-linear
relationship. The points where the linear
regions intersect should fall on the non-
linear function and represent the break points
that are entered into Non-Linear Output State.

I-E67-84-2B March 25, 2002 8-20

 As with the Linear Output State, the output
range must be defined and will represent the
0% input/0% output and 100% input/100% output
points. Since the 0% and 100% points are
defined by the output range, the break point
information (e.g., X-1/Y-1, X-2/Y-2, etc.
values) should not include the 0% input/0%
output and 100% input/100% output values. The
break points must be entered as percentage of
input range and output span. Also as with a
linear output, a reverse acting non-linear
output can be implemented by reversing the
zero or four and 20 milliampere process
variable and break point values (e.g., 199.9
mS/cm for the 0 or 4 milliampere value and 0
mS/cm for the 20 milliampere value).

Set the Analog Output One Non-Linear State

using Figure 8-5 as a reference and the
following procedure:

1) Select the [Link] State in the Configure

Mode of Operation using the SELECT Key.

2) Set the output span using the NEXT Key to

toggle between 4-20MA and 0-20MA, and
press the ENTER Key to enter the desired
span.

3) Set the process variable value for the

zero or four milliampere point using the
Key to increment the blinking digit and
the Key to move to the next digit, and
press the ENTER Key to enter the desired
value.

4) Set the process variable value for the 20

milliampere point using the Key to
increment the blinking digit and the
Key to move to the next digit, and press
the ENTER Key to enter the desired value.

4) Select the [Link] Output State by using

the NEXT Key to change the programming
state from LINEAR to [Link] and pressing
the SELECT Key to accept the [Link]
Output State.

I-E67-84-2B March 25, 2002 8-21

 5) Set the input percentage for the first
break point (X-1) using the Key to
increment the blinking digit and the
Key to move to the next digit, and press
the ENTER Key to enter the new value.

6) Set the output percentage for the first

break point (Y-1) using the Key to

Setpoint Relay Output (Basic/Advanced)

A Setpoint Relay Output can be configured to

energize when the Process Variable or
Temperature exceeds or falls below a defined
level (i.e., a High or Low Setpoint,
respectively). Valid Setpoint values are
limited to the Process Variable and/or
Temperature ranges of the TB84EC Advantage
Series analyzer. See Table 1-3,
Specifications, for analyzer range values.

I-E67-84-2B March 25, 2002 8-29

 To prevent relay chatter, a Setpoint Relay
Output has an configurable Deadband. The
Deadband control keeps the relay energized
until the Process Variable or Temperature has
decreased below a High Setpoint value or above
a Low Setpoint value by the Deadband value.
Valid Deadband values are 0.0 to 200 mS/cm
for Group A Sensors, 0.00 to 20.0 µS/cm for
Group B Sensors, 0.000 to 20.0 µS/cm for Group
C Sensors, O to 10% of the configured
Concentration range for Concentration
configurations, and 0 to 10oC (18 o
F) for
Temperature sources.

A Time Delay control also refines the function

of a Setpoint Relay. Entering a Time Delay
value greater than 0.0 minutes enables a
waiting period before energizing the relay
once the setpoint condition has been met.
Valid Time Delay values are 0.0 to 99.9
minutes.

Set the Setpoint parameters of a Relay Output

using Figure 8-11 as reference and the
following procedure:

1) Set the Setpoint activation condition

(i.e., LO SPT or HI SPT) using the Key
to increment the blinking digit and the
Key to move to the next digit, and
press the ENTER Key to enter the new
value.

2) Set the Deadband (i.e., DBAND) using the

Key to increment the blinking digit and
the Key to move to the next digit and,

Cycle Timer Relay Output (Advanced)

A Cycle Timer can only be sourced to the

Process Variable and can energize the relay
for either a High or Low setpoint condition.

I-E67-84-2B March 25, 2002 8-32

 As with a Setpoint Relay Output, the Setpoint
condition functions in the same manner;
however, the Deadband control is replaced with
the Cycle Time. Thus, a Cycle Timer will
energize the Relay Output for a set amount of
time ([Link]) and de-energize for the
remainder of the cycle ([Link]). This cycle
repeats until the Setpoint condition is no
longer met. For more information on the Cycle
Timer, see Section 2, Overview.

Valid Setpoint values are limited to the

Process Variable range of the TB84EC Advantage
Series analyzer. See Table 1-3,
Specifications, for analyzer range values.
Valid Cycle Time and On Time values are 0.0 to
99.9 minutes.

Cleaner Relay Output (Advanced)

Automatic sensor cleaning can be accomplished

using any one of the three relay outputs. At
a prescribed time interval, a Cleaner Relay
Output will energize and allow the activation
of a cleaning device. While in the energized
state, analog and relay outputs can be held to
values captured just prior to the cleaning
cycle (i.e., energized state). If a relay
hold condition is not feasible, non-cleaner
relay outputs can be disable during a cleaning
cycle.

To specify a cleaning cycle, the Cycle, On,

and Recovery Times must be defined. The Cycle
Time defines the repeating period between
cleaning cycles, the On Time defines the
length of time the relay will be energized,
and the Recovery Time defines the length of
time after the relay has been de-energized
before the hold and/or disable condition(s)
will be removed. Valid times for Cycle Time
are 0.0 to 99.9 hours and for On and Recovery
Times are 0.0 to 99.9 minutes.

I-E67-84-2B March 25, 2002 8-34

Damping State (Basic/Advanced)

The Damping State applies a lag function on

the configured signals and reduces
fluctuations caused by erratic process
conditions. The damping value can be set from
0.0 to 99.9 seconds and represents the time
required to reach 63.2% of a step change in
the process variable.

For the Basic Programming Mode, the damping

value can only be applied to the process
variable input signal. The Advanced
Programming Mode allows for separate damping
of the Display Process Variable, Analog Output
One, and Analog Output Two.

Key.

2) Toggle the diagnostics function to the

desired state (i.e., OFF or ON) using the
Key, and press the ENTER Key to enter
the new value.

Safe Mode One State (Basic/Advanced)

The Safe Mode One State determines the Analog

Output One level if an error condition occurs
that renders the analyzer inoperable. The
available states are [Link] (i.e., fail low)
or [Link] (i.e., fail high). For more
information on error conditions, see Section
13, Diagnostics.

Set the Safe Mode One State using the

following procedure:

1) Select the [Link].1 State in the

Configure Mode of Operation using the
SELECT Key.

I-E67-84-2B March 25, 2002 8-38

 2) Set the safe mode by using the NEXT Key
to toggle between [Link] and [Link],
and use the ENTER Key to enter the new
value.

Safe Mode Two State (Basic/Advanced)

The Safe Mode Two State determines the Analog

Output Two level if an error condition occurs
that renders the analyzer inoperable. The
available states are [Link] (i.e., fail low)
and [Link] (i.e., fail high). For more
information on error conditions, see Section
13, Diagnostics.

Set the Safe Mode Two State using the

following procedure:

1) Select the [Link].2 State in the

Configure Mode of Operation using the
SELECT Key.

2) Set the safe mode by using the NEXT Key

to toggle between [Link] and [Link],
and use the ENTER Key to enter the new
value.

Spike State (Advanced)

The Spike State sets the diagnostic spike

level as a percent of output. This level will
determine the magnitude of the spike imposed
on Analog Output One.

When the Spike has been set for any level

greater than 0% and is enabled in the Spike
Output State, the TB84EC Advantage Series
analyzer will modulate the Analog Output One
signal by the configured level for one second
out of every six seconds when a problem
condition is detected. Using this modulation,
the analyzer informs the operator of a
detected diagnostic condition. For more
information on problem conditions, see Section
13, Diagnostics. For a description of the
diagnostic spike feature, see Section 2,
Analyzer Functionality And Operator Interface
Controls.

I-E67-84-2B March 25, 2002 8-39

 Set the Spike State using the following
procedure:

1) Select the SPIKE State in the Configure

Mode of Operation using the SELECT Key.

2) Set the [Link] (i.e., spike magnitude)

using the Key to increment the
blinking digit and the Key to move to
the next digit, and press the ENTER Key
to enter the new value. The Spike
Magnitude is entered as a percentage of
the 16 milliampere output range for a
four to 20 milliampere output or 20
milliampere output range for a zero to 20
milliampere output (e.g., 10% will
generate a 1.6 milliampere spike for a
four to 20 milliampere output range).

Note: Once the Spike State is OFF in the

Output/Hold Mode of Operation, changing the
configured spike level in the Configure Mode
will not reenable the Spike State. The Spike
State can only be turned ON or OFF in the
Output/Hold Mode of Operation.

CONFIGURATION LOCKOUT

The TB84EC Advantage Series analyzer has a

lockout feature that, once engaged, prohibits
access to the Configure Mode. This feature
does not affect parameters that can be changed
in the other modes of operation including
Calibrate, Output/Hold, Security, secondary
Display, and Setpoint/Tune.

To enable the lockout feature, change jumper

W1 on the Microprocessor/Display PCB from pins
1 and 2 (i.e., position A - the factory
default position) to pins 2 and 3 (i.e.,
position B). Use Figure 8-16 and Section 16,

 SECTION 10 - SECONDARY DISPLAY MODE
INTRODUCTION

The TB84EC Advantage Series analyzer has two

display regions. In the Measure Mode of
Operation, the primary display region shows
the measured process variable, and the
secondary display region can show a multitude
of process, sensor, or analyzer information.
This secondary information can be viewed or
set as the displayed value when in the Measure
Mode of Operation.

SECONDARY DISPLAY STATE OF OPERATION

The Secondary Display Mode of Operation can

contain as many as eight states of operation
that provide information on the process

 SECTION 11 - SETPOINT/TUNE MODE
INTRODUCTION

The Setpoint/Tune Mode of Operation provides a

direct method to tune relay output parameters.
Though this mode of operation can not be used
to change the function a relay, it does
provide the ability to quickly change relay
parameters pertinent to process control. To
change the relay output function, see Section
8, Configure Mode.

SETPOINT/TUNE STATES OF OPERATION

The Setpoint/Tune Mode consists of three

states of operation: RELAY1, RELAY2, and
RELAY3. Each state provides the ability to
update operational parameters for the
configured relay functions. For instead if
Relay Output One is configured to function as
a High Process Variable Setpoint, the
Setpoint, Deadband, and Time Delay will be
tunable parameters available in the
Setpoint/Tune Relay One State of Operation.

Since the tunable parameters are dependent on

the configured relay function, the following
sections will only describe the adjustment of
these parameters.

Setpoint Relay Output (Basic/Advanced)

A Setpoint Relay Output can be configured to

energize when the Process Variable or
Temperature exceeds or falls below a defined
level (i.e., a High or Low Setpoint). Valid
Setpoint values are limited to the Process
Variable and/or Temperature ranges of the
TB84EC Advantage Series analyzer. See Table
1-3, Specifications, for analyzer range
values.

I-E67-84-2B March 25, 2002 11-1

 To prevent relay chatter, a Setpoint Relay
Output has an configurable Deadband. The
Deadband control keeps the relay energized
until the Process Variable or Temperature has
decreased below a High Setpoint value or above
a Low Setpoint value by the Deadband value.
Valid Deadband values are 0.0 to 200 mS/cm
for Group A Sensors, 0.00 to 20.0 µS/cm for
Group B Sensors, 0.000 to 20.0 µS/cm for Group
C Sensors, O to 10% of the configured
Concentration range for Concentration
configurations, and 0 to 10oC (18 o
F) for
Temperature sources.

A Time Delay control also refines the function

of a Setpoint Relay. Entering a Time Delay
value greater than 0.0 minutes enables a
waiting period before energizing the relay
once the setpoint condition has been met.
Valid Time Delay values are 0.0 to 99.9
minutes.

Set the Setpoint parameters of a Relay Output

using Figure 11-1 as a reference and the
following procedure:

1) Set the Setpoint activation condition

(i.e., LO SPT or HI SPT) using the Key
to increment the blinking digit and the
Key to move to the next digit, and
press the ENTER Key to enter the new
value.

2) Set the Deadband (i.e., DBAND) using the

Key to increment the blinking digit and
the Key to move to the next digit and,
press the ENTER Key to enter the new
value.

3) Set the Time Delay in minutes (i.e.,

[Link]) using the Key to increment
the blinking digit and the Key to move
to the next digit, and press the ENTER
Key to enter the new value.

Cycle Timer Relay Output (Advanced)

A Cycle Timer can only be sourced to the

Process Variable and can energize the relay
for either a High or Low setpoint condition.

I-E67-84-2B March 25, 2002 11-4

 As with a Setpoint Relay Output, the Setpoint
condition functions in the same manner;
however, the Deadband control is replaced with
the Cycle Time. Thus, a Cycle Timer will
energize the Relay Output for a set amount of
time ([Link]) and de-energize for the
remainder of the cycle ([Link]). This cycle
repeats until the Setpoint condition is no
longer met. For more information on the Cycle
Timer, see Section 2, Overview.

Valid Setpoint values are limited to the

Process Variable range of the TB84EC Advantage
Series analyzer. See Table 1-3,
Specifications, for analyzer range values.
Valid Cycle Time and On Time values are 0.0 to
99.9 minutes.

Cleaner Relay Output (Advanced)

Automatic sensor cleaning can be accomplished

using any one of the three relay outputs. At
a prescribed time interval, a Cleaner Relay
Output will energize and allow the activation
of a cleaning device. While in the energized
state, analog and relay outputs can be held to
values captured just prior to the cleaning
cycle (i.e., energized state). If a relay
hold condition is not feasible, non-cleaner
relay outputs can be disable during a cleaning
cycle.

To specify a cleaning cycle, the Cycle, On,

and Recovery Times must be defined. The Cycle
Time defines the repeating period between
cleaning cycles, the On Time defines the
length of time the relay will be energized,
and the Recovery Time defines the length of
time after the relay has been de-energized
before the hold and/or disable condition(s)
will be removed. Valid times for Cycle Time
are 0.0 to 99.9 hours and for On and Recovery
Times are 0.0 to 99.9 minutes.

 SECTION 12 - UTILITY MODE
INTRODUCTION

The TB84EC Advantage Series analyzer contains

a Utility Mode of Operation that provides
access to powerful functions not used during
normal operating conditions. These functions
have been separated into two categories:
Factory and User. Factory functions are
strictly reserved for ABB personnel.

User functions include Programming Mode, reset

configuration to default settings, remove
security, reset all parameters to default
settings, and software reboot functions.

FACTORY/USER STATE

The Factory and User States of Operation can

be accessed using the hidden fifth key located
top, center on the keypad. Once the hidden
key has been pressed, the textual prompt USER
will be displayed in the secondary display
region. Pressing the SELECT Smart Key brings
the user into the User State, pressing the
NEXT Smart Key brings the user to the Factory
selection, and pressing the Exit to MEASURE
Smart Key escapes back to the Measure Mode.

User State

The User State contains the primary toggle for

setting the Programming Mode, three reset
functions, and a software reboot operation
that initiates the self-test mode. Table 12-1
describes the function of each User State.

The NEXT Smart Key sequentially moves through

each of the four User States. This cycle
repeats until a state is selected or the
escape function is chosen using the Exit to
MEASURE Smart Key. To select a state, press
the SELECT Smart Key when the desired User
State is shown in the secondary display
region.

I-E67-84-2B March 25, 2002 12-1

 Table 12-1. User States

State Function
MODE Sets the Programming Modes that are
available in the Modify Configure
State of Operation.
[Link] Resets the configuration to factory

[Link] Resets the security password and
removes all security.
[Link] Resets all programming parameters
such as configuration, calibration,
output/hold, security, secondary
display, and setpoint/tune
functions to factory default
settings.
[Link] Resets the analyzer by repeating
the boot-up and self-test
procedures.

Figure 12-1 identifies the Smart Key

assignments and resulting action. The
following section describes each of the User
States and their applicability.

Advanced/Basic Programming Mode User State

In order to simplify the configuration process

for a user who only needs a limited amount of
functionality, the TB84EC Advantage Series
analyzer contains two types of Programming
Modes: Basic and Advanced. The Programming
Mode is defined by a nomenclature option.

The Basic Programming Mode contains a reduced

set of features found in the Advanced
Programming Mode. Reducing the available
features helps streamline the configuration
process. If the TB84EC Advantage Series
analyzer is ordered with Advanced Programming,
the Basic or Advanced Programming Mode can be
used.

Contact ABB for information on Advanced

Programming upgrades.

I-E67-84-2B March 25, 2002 12-6

 SECTION 13 - DIAGNOSTICS
INTRODUCTION

The TB84EC Advantage Series analyzer performs

a number of diagnostic checks on hardware,
firmware, and sensor functions. If a
nonconforming condition is detected, the user
is alerted to faults locally by a flashing
FAULT indicating icon and, if configured,
remotely by modulating Analog Output One
(i.e., Spike Output) and/or energizing a Relay
Output (i.e., Diagnostic Relay Output).

Diagnostic faults are interrogated using the

FAULT Info Smart Key. A short text string and
fault code are alternately shown in the
secondary display region. If multiple faults
exist, the FAULT Info Smart Key moves the user
to the next fault. Once all faults have been
interrogated, the analyzer returns to the
Measure Mode of Operation.

The following section describes the types of

fault conditions and their applicability to
the TB84EC Advantage Series functionality.

FAULT CODES

Fault conditions are grouped into two

categories based on severity. Conditions that
result in degradation of analyzer performance
are reported as Problem Codes (PC), while
conditions that render the analyzer inoperable
are reported as Error Codes (EC).

Fault codes are reported in the secondary

display region in a first in, first out order
(i.e., the first detected fault condition is
the first condition that is displayed upon
interrogation). All active fault conditions
can be viewed at any time while in the Measure
Mode using the FAULT Info Smart Key. A
flashing Fault icon indicates a new fault
condition that has not been interrogated. A
non-flashing Fault icon indicates all fault
conditions have been interrogated but not
resolved. When all fault conditions are
resolved, the Fault icon and FAULT Info Smart
Key are de-energized.

I-E67-84-2B March 25, 2002 13-1

Problem Codes

Problem Codes result from fault conditions

that impact the performance of the TB84EC
Advantage Series analyzer. In most cases,
these conditions can be resolved by the user
using standard practices.

The occurrence of a Problem Code fault

condition triggers the Fault icon to energize,
the Spike output to modulate (if configured),
and a Diagnostic Relay Output to energize (if
configured). These diagnostic indicators
provide local and remote reporting capability.

Tables 13-1 and 13-2 contain all the Problem

Codes supported by the TB84EC Advantage Series
analyzer. Each entry lists the Problem Code
number, displayed text string, and a short
description of the fault. See Section 14,
Troubleshooting, for resolving a fault
condition.

Error Codes

Error Codes result from fault conditions that

render the TB84EC Advantage Series analyzer
inoperable. In most cases, these conditions
can not be resolved by the user using standard
methods.

The occurrence of an Error Code fault

condition triggers the Fault icon to energize
and the Safe Mode outputs to enable (i.e., the
Analog Output One and Two currents are fixed
high or low based on the configured Safe Mode
levels). These diagnostic indicators provide
local and remote reporting capability.

Table 13-3 contains all the Error Codes

supported by the TB84EC Advantage Series
analyzer. Each entry lists the Error Code
number, displayed text string, and a short
description of the fault condition. See
Section 14, Troubleshooting, for resolving a
fault condition.

Calibration Diagnostic Messages

The TB84EC Advantage Series analyzer performs

automatic efficiency and offset calculations
relative to a theoretically perfect
conductivity and/or temperature sensor during
each calibration cycle. Calibration constants
are retained for future interrogation using
the Edit Calibrate State. The calibration
constants that are displayed are Slope and
Offset for the Process Variable and Slope and
Offset for the Temperature.

A Slope of less than 0.2 or greater than 5

indicates a potentially bad process
calibration point or poorly performing sensor.
In these cases, the text string [Link] (i.e.,
bad calibration) is displayed in the secondary
display region. The user is returned to the
beginning of the calibration cycle after the
bad calibration has been reported.

An Offset value of less than -20 µS/cm for

Sensor Group A, -4 µS/cm for Sensor Group B,
and -0.800 µS/cm or greater than 20 µS/cm for
Sensor Group A, 4 µS/cm for Sensor Group B,
and 0.800 µS/cm for Sensor Group C also
indicates a potentially bad process
calibration or poorly performing sensor.
Again, a bad calibration will be reported, and
the user returned to the beginning of the
calibration cycle.

I-E67-84-2B March 25, 2002 13-5

 For temperature, a bad calibration will be
reported and calibration values will not be
accepted for Slope values that are less than
0.2 or greater than 1.5 and Offset values that
are less than -40oC or greater than +40oC. As
with conductivity calibrations, temperature
calibrations use smart software routines that
automatically adjust the Slope, Offset, or
both values based on the calibration value
being entered and calibration history if it
exists.

Additional Diagnostic Messages

Other diagnostic messages may appear during

analyzer programming. These messages include
[Link] (i.e., bad value) and DENIED.

[Link] indicates the attempted numeric entry

of a value which is out of the allowed
analyzer range. See Table 1-3,
Specifications, for analyzer range limits.

DENIED indicates incorrect entry of a security

password. See Section 9, Security Mode, for
information on the Security Mode of Operation.

[Link] indicates a Random Access Memory

read/write error. The analyzer will
automatically reset when this error has been
encountered. If the analyzer continues to
reset, contact ABB for problem resolution.

WARNING All error conditions are considered

catastrophic. When such an error has been
reported, the analyzer should be replaced
with a known-good analyzer. The non-
functional analyzer should be returned to the
factory for repair. Contact the factory for
a Return Materials Authorization (RMA)
number.

INSTRUMENT TROUBLESHOOTING

When analyzer is suspected as the problem

source, the analyzer can be evaluated using a
decade resistance source or a set of
resistors. These resistor simulate the load
measured by the sensor and can be an easy way
to check the operation of the analyzer.

Instrument Electronic Test

Remove the sensor connections from the

analyzer and complete the following steps:

1) Connect the appropriate resistor, based on

temperature sensor configuration, across the
temperature sensor input (i.e., TB2-5 and TB2-
6) or configure the analyzer for manual
temperature compensation with a constant 25oC
temperature.

2) Connect a decade resistance source or the

appropriate resistor so that the Green Drive
and Red Sense connections are terminated at
one end of the resistance source or resistor

I-E67-84-2B March 25, 2002 14-4

 and the Black Drive and White Sensor
connections are terminated at the other end.
Note: The analyzer calibration values must be set back
to those entered at factory in order for this procedure
to be valid. The reset calibration feature resets all
calibration to factory values. Before putting the
analyzer back into service, be sure to perform a
temperature, process, and output calibration.

Using the Table 14-2, compare the applied

resistance value against the displayed value.

SENSOR TROUBLESHOOTING

If the sensor is suspected of being the source

of problems, a quick visual inspection in many
cases will identify the problem. If nothing
can be seen, a few electrical tests using a
digital multimeter can be performed to
determine if the sensor is at fault. Some of
these tests can be performed with the sensor
either in or out of the process stream.

Visual Sensor Inspection

Remove the sensor from the process and

visually check the following:

Sensor body
Inspect the sensor body for cracks and
distortions. If any are found, contact ABB
for alternative sensor styles and materials.

Cable and connectors

Inspect the sensor cable for cracks, cuts, or
shorts. If a junction box and/or extension
cable are used, check for moisture, oil,
corrosion, and/or particulates where
connections are made. All connections must be
dry, oil-free, corrosion-free, and
particulate-free. Even slight amounts of
moisture, corrosion, and particulates can

I-E67-84-2B March 25, 2002 14-6

 short sensor signals and affect conductivity
readings. Check to see that all wiring is dry
and not shorting against any metal, conduit,
or earth grounds. See Section 15,
Maintenance, for sensor cleaning procedures.

O-ring seals
Inspect the O-ring seals for attack by the
process liquid. If the O-rings show evidence
of corrosion, distortion, or deterioration,
contact ABB for alternate material choices.

Sensor Electronic Test

Conductivity sensors can be electronically

tested to verify the integrity of the sensor
and cable. The sensor leads and automatic
temperature compensator leads must be
disconnected from the analyzer before any
tests can be performed. Additionally, these
tests require a Digital Multimeter (DMM) that
has a conductance function capable of 0 to 200
nS and a resistance function capable of 0 to
20 kohms.

The automatic temperature compensator can be

tested with the sensor in the process and is
tested using the following procedure:

1. Check the resistance of the Temperature

Compensator by measuring the resistance
between the yellow and blue Temperature
Compensator leads.

For a 3 kohm Balco RTD, the expected

resistance can be calculated using:

RTC'(((T&25)(0.0045)%1)(3000

where T is in degrees Celsius. The measured

resistance should be within the expected value
by ± 15%.

For a Pt100 RTD, the expected resistance can

be calculated using:

RTC'100%((T&0)(0.385)

I-E67-84-2B March 25, 2002 14-7

 where T is in degrees Celsius. The measured
resistance should be within the expected value
by ± 5%.

For the 4.75 kohm Network, the expected

resistance can be calculated using:

RTC'6329&104.5(T%0.774T 2&0.0026(T 3%3E&06(T 4

where T is in degrees Celsius. The measured

resistance should be within the expected value
by ± 15%.

Moisture intrusion behind the sensor electrode

seal can be detected with the sensor removed
from the process, thoroughly dried, and tested
using the following procedure:

1. Check the conductance between the yellow

Temperature Compensator lead and each of the
other sensor leads (i.e., green, red, white,
black, and heavy green leads). The reading
must be less than 0.05 nS.

2. Check the conductance between the green

Drive lead and each of the other sensor leads
(i.e., black, white, red, and heavy green
leads). The reading must be less than 0.05
nS.

3. Check the conductance between the heavy

green lead (i.e., Shield) and each of the
other sensor leads (i.e., blue, yellow, black,
green, red, and white leads). The reading
must be less than 0.05 nS.

 SECTION 15 - MAINTENANCE
INTRODUCTION

The reliability of any stand-alone product or

control system is affected by maintenance of
the equipment. ABB recommends that all
equipment users practice a preventive
maintenance program that will keep the
equipment operating at an optimum level.

Personnel performing preventive maintenance

should be familiar with the TB84EC Advantage
Series analyzer.

WARNING Allow only qualified personnel (refer to

INTENDED USER in SECTION 1 - INTRODUCTION) to
commission, operate, service or repair this
equipment. Failure to follow the procedures
described in this instruction or the
instructions provided with related equipment
can result in an unsafe condition that can
injure personnel and damage equipment.

PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE

Table 15-1 is the preventive maintenance

schedule and check list for the TB84EC
Advantage Series analyzer. The table lists
the preventive maintenance tasks in groups
according to their specified maintenance
interval. The maintenance intervals are
recommendations and may vary depending on the
environment of the analyzer’s location and the

always use gloves, eye protection, safety
shield, and similar protective items, and
consult Material Safety Data Sheets.

WARNING Consider the material compatibility between

cleaning fluids and process liquids.
Incompatible fluids can react with each other
causing injury to personnel and equipment
damage.

WARNING Use solvents only in well ventilated areas.

Avoid prolonged or repeated breathing of
vapors or contact with skin. Solvents can
cause nausea, dizziness, and skin irritation.
In some cases, overexposure to solvents has
caused nerve and brain damage. Solvents are
flammable - do not use near extreme heat or
open flame.

I-E67-84-2B March 25, 2002 15-2

 Acid Dip Dip the tip of the sensor into a one to five
percent hydrochloric acid (HCl) solution until
this region is free of the unwanted coating.
Minimize expose of any metal on the sensor, if
present, to this cleaning solution. Corrosion
may occur. This method removes scales from
water hardness. After dipping, rinse sensor
with water.

Solvent Dip Dip the sensor into a solvent such as

isopropyl alcohol. Remove solvent using a
clean cloth. Do not use solvents that are
known to be incompatible with the plastic of
the sensor. This method removes organic
coatings. After dipping, wash sensor with
soap and warm water.

Physical Cleaning Use a rag, acid brush, or tooth brush to

remove especially thick scales and
accumulations.

 APPENDIX A - TEMPERATURE COMPENSATION
GENERAL

The TB84EC Advantage Series analyzer has a

variety of standard conductivity temperature
compensation options. These include manual
(0.1 N KCl), standard automatic (0.1 N KCl),
temperature coefficient (0 to 9.99%/oC), zero
to 15 percent sodium hydroxide (NaOH), zero to
20 percent sodium chloride (NaCl), zero to 18
percent hydrochloric acid (HCl), zero to 20
percent sulfuric acid (H2SO4), and user-
defined.

Additionally, three specialized types of

automatic temperature compensation are
available for the measurement of pure water
using a Sensor Group C configuration. These
types include neutral salt, trace base, and
trace acid.

The concentration analyzer configuration

offers the same temperature compensation
options as for the standard conductivity
analyzer configuration.

CONDUCTIVITY AND CONCENTRATION ANALYZER

For these two analyzer types, eleven different

types of temperature compensation are
available. Manual temperature compensation is
based on 0.1 N KCl and has an adjustable
reference temperature for Advanced
configuration. The default reference
temperature for Basic and Advanced
configurations is 25 degrees Celsius.

Automatic temperature compensation can be set

to one of several temperature compensation
types. When automatic compensation is
configured, the analyzer will measure the
process temperature via the resistive
temperature device located either in the
conductivity sensor or external to the sensor,
and will automatically adjust the raw
conductivity to the reference.

I-E67-84-2B March 25, 2002 A-1

 The standard KCl temperature compensation
option characterizes the temperature effect of
0.1 N KCl and has the following data break-
points:

Temperature KREF/K
(oC)
0 1.80
5 1.57
10 1.38
15 1.22
20 1.10

30 0.91
50 0.69
75 0.50
100 0.38
128 0.30
156 0.25
306 0.18

The temperature coefficient option allows for

a fixed correction which is based on a
percentage change of the reference
conductivity (i.e., conductivity at 25oC) per
degree Celsius. The temperature compensation
factor is derived from the equation:

KT
( &1.0)(100.0
KREF
"'[Link]'
T&25.0

where:

" and [Link] = percentage change in the

reference conductivity per degree Celsius.

I-E67-84-2B March 25, 2002 A-2

 KT = conductivity at temperature T (oC).

KREF = conductivity at the standard temperature

of 25oC.

T = temperature of the solution in degrees

Celsius.

Typical ranges for temperature compensation

coefficients are:

C Acids = 1.0 to 1.6%/oC.

C Bases = 1.8 to 2.0%/oC.
C Salts = 2.2 to 3.0%/oC.
C Neutral Water = 2.0%/oC.

The zero to 15 percent NaOH compensation

option characterizes an average temperature
correction required to cover a zero to 15
percent NaOH concentration range. Since NaOH
has a relatively constant set of temperature
coefficients over a large range of
concentrations, this compensation can be used
for weak as well as concentrated solutions of
NaOH. Data for the break-points are:

Temperature KREF/K
(oC)
0 1.79
25 1.00
50 0.69
75 0.53
100 0.43
156 0.30

I-E67-84-2B March 25, 2002 A-3

 The zero to 20 percent NaCl compensation
option characterizes an average temperature
correction required to cover a zero to 20
percent NaCl concentration range. Since NaCl
has a relatively constant set of temperature
coefficients over a large range of
concentrations, this compensation can be used
for weak as well as concentrated solutions of
NaCl. Data for the break-points are:

Temperature KREF/K
(oC)
0 1.75
25 1.00
50 0.66
75 0.47
100 0.35
140 0.25
156 0.23

The zero to 18 percent HCl compensation option

characterizes an average temperature
correction required to cover a zero to 18
percent HCl concentration range. Since HCl
has a relatively constant set of temperature
coefficients over a large range of
concentrations, this compensation can be used
for weak as well as concentrated solutions of
HCl. Data for the break-points are:

Temperature KREF/K
(oC)
0 1.55
25 1.00
50 0.75
75 0.61
100 0.52
156 0.43

The zero to 20 percent H2SO4 compensation

I-E67-84-2B March 25, 2002 A-4

 characterizes an average temperature
correction required to cover a zero to 20
percent H2SO4 concentration range. Data for
the break-points are:

Temperature KREF/K
(oC)
0 1.37
25 1.00
50 0.84
75 0.73
100 0.67
156 0.61

The user-defined temperature compensation

option allows entering six break-point values
of K/KREF for six temperature values. Each
break-point value should be chosen to provide
the closest fit of each linear segment to the
actual temperature in degrees oC versus K/KREF
relationship.

PURE WATER TEMPERATURE COMPENSATION

When using a Sensor Group C configuration,

three pure water temperature compensation
options are available. These include neutral
salt (NEUTRL), trace acid (ACID), and trace
base (BASE). As with all other temperature
compensation options, the reference
temperature is adjustable with a default value
of 25 degrees Celsius for Advanced
configuration and is permanently set to 25
degrees Celsius.

Temperature compensation for pure water is a

polynomial based on data from T.S. Light.
This equation compensates for variation in
conductivity due to pure water. All three
types of compensation use this polynomial.
For water having a conductivity value greater
than 0.5 µS/cm, temperature compensation for
the effect of pure water becomes insignificant
compared to the effects brought about by the
solute. Using pure water compensation for

I-E67-84-2B March 25, 2002 A-5

 water greater than 0.5 µS/cm will not cause
errors; however, the compensation on solute
effects (i.e., neutral salt, trace acid, or
trace base) may not accurately adjust for
effects caused by the process liquid.

The polynomial takes the form:

Factor'K0%K1(T%K2(T 2%K3(T 3%K4(T 4%K5(T 5%K6(T 6

For coefficient values (i.e., K0, K1 , etc.)

describing pure water compensation, refer to

 APPENDIX B - CONCENTRATION PROGRAMMING
GENERAL
The concentration analyzer configuration has
four specific solute options and one user-
defined option. The specific solute options
include zero to 15 percent NaOH, zero to 20
percent NaCl, zero to 18 percent HCl, and zero
to 20 percent H2SO4. Users needing a custom
concentration configuration can select the
user-defined option which provides a six-
point, five-segment linear approximation of
their own conductivity-to-concentration curve.
For the user-defined option, custom units can
be used by either selecting one of three
engineering unit icons or entering a six-
character, alphanumeric character string.

USER PROGRAMMED CONCENTRATION TO CONDUCTIVITY CURVES

The TB84EC Advantage Series concentration

analyzer can be use in any range and with any
ABB sensor thus allowing flexible programming
capability. The user-defined option allows
the characterization of concentration-to-
conductivity curves which have been determined
separately in a laboratory or from published
data such as the International Critical
Tables. These curves must then be segmented
into five straight lines and programmed into
the function generator using the format as
illustrated in Figures B-1 through B-5.

Unlike other concentration analyzers, users

may enter any conductivity and concentration
values in an ascending or descending method.
Use the following rules when entering data for
a Concentration Analyzer configuration:

1. Point 1 for both conductivity and

concentration is always the 0% (i.e., 4
mA) output point.
2. Point 6 for both conductivity and
concentration is always the 100% (i.e.,
20 mA) output point.
3. All conductivity must be sequentially
ascending. Concentration points can be
either sequentially ascending or
descending.

I-E67-84-2B March 25, 2002 B-1

 4. If a reverse acting output is desired,
swap the output range values either in
the modify configure state or the
output/hold mode.
5. The output range (i.e., 4 and 20 mA
output range) can not exceed the Point 1
and Point 6 concentration range; however,
the output range can be compressed using
the rerange (RERNGE) function in the
OUT/HOLD mode of operation.

The engineering units are also user-defined.

Select either the PPM, PPB, or % icon that
will be energized in the primary display or
enter a six-character, alphanumeric string.
This string permanently or temporarily appears
in the secondary display.

For processes with fixed solute types, the

user can select one of the four pre-defined
solute options. These options include zero to
15 percent NaOH, zero to 20 percent NaCl, zero
to 18 percent HCl, and zero to 20% H2SO4.

For reference purposes, the following

information is provide on these four
preprogrammed options. This information has
been compile and extrapolated from the
International Critical Table. All data and
curves are referenced at 25oC. This
information has been curve-fitted to simple
equations for use in the TB84EC and only
approximates the actual concentration curves.
If improved accuracy is required, especially
in a narrow region of concentration, it is
suggested that the user-defined option is
selected and data be manually entered.
