Data Sheet
User's Manual

The Signet 2850 Conductivity/Resistivity Sensor Electronics are available in various configurations for maximum installation flexibility. The universal mount version is for pipe, wall, or tank mounting and enables single or dual (digital output only) inputs using any standard Signet conductivity / resistivity sensor. The threaded j-box version can be used with these same Signet sensors for submersible sensor mounting. It is also available as a combined integral system configuration for in-line mounting and includes a conductivity electrode in a choice of 0.01, 0.1, 1.0, 10.0, or 20.0 cm-1 cell constants. The 2850 is ideal for applications with a conductivity range of 0.055 to 400,000 µS or a resistivity range of 100 Megohms to 10kohms.

All 2850 units are available with a choice of two outputs, digital (S3L) or 4 to 20 mA. The digital (S3L) output version allows for up to six sensor inputs directly into the Signet 8900 Multi-Parameter Controller. The two-wire 4 to 20 mA output is available with eight 4 to 20 mA output ranges for each electrode cell constant.

All 2850 units are built with NEMA 4X/IP 65 enclosures which allow wiring connections with long cable runs of up to 1,000 feet (305 m). EasyCal is a standard feature that automatically recognizes conductivity test solution values for simple field calibration. A calibration tool is available to validate of the sensor electronics according to USP requirements.

Conductivity/Resistivity Tools

Data Sheet

The Signet conductivity/resistivity tools are available for calibration ovalidation of electronics that are independent of the electrode. Because there are no available liquid standards for calibration in low conductivity and resistivity applications, these tools are ideal for various installations. All tools are built to conform to the ASTM D 1125-95 Standard (Standard Test Methods for Electrical Conductivity and Resistivity of Water), which is also commonly used for USP 24 applications.

Signet tools simulate, within ±0.1% precision (accuracy), various values: 1.0 µS, 2.5 µS, 10.0 µS, 10.0 MO, 18.2 MO. These tools are also temperature compensated to 25°C and enable the user to accurately validate or calibrate the electronics.

Model 2830 can be used with Signet Models 5800CR, 8850, and 8860 instruments. The 2850-101-X simulators are used with the newly released Model 2850 electronics and simply plug into the same terminals as the sensor cables.

Features:

• Simulates five different values
• Compatible with all Signet Conductivity/Resistivity instruments
• Verifies electronics independent of electrode
• NIST traceable units
• Temperature compensated to 25°C
• All units ship with NIST traceable certificates
