Part 1 - Introduction
1.1 General The Model TCSMA is a blind, loop-powered monitoring
system, designed for the continuous measurement of
solution conductivity. The full scale operating range of the
transmitter may be user adjusted to any value between 500
uS and 1,000,000 uS using the same sensor. The sensing
system will operate on water streams with temperatures from
-5°C to 110C.
1.2 Features - Special toroidal sensor design greatly minimizes sensor
fouling and, therefore, reduces maintenance requirements.
- Standard main module is designed to be a fully isolated, loop
powered instrument for 2-wire DC applications.
- Can be user-adjusted for specific application span from 500
uS to 1,000,000 uS using the same sensor.
- Direct/Reverse operation allows 4-20 mA output direction to
be flipped.
- Adjustable temperature compensation from 0% to 4% per °C
to match solution requirements.
- Loop indicator LED glows to indicate loop current level.
- Instrument supplied in rugged NEMA 4X enclosure with
multi-purpose mounting bracket.

Part 2 – Transmitter Mounting
2.1 General A bracket is included with each unit that allows mounting to
walls, pipes and DIN rail. In all cases, choose a location that
is readily accessible for calibrations. Also consider that it
may be necessary to utilize a location where solutions can
be used during the calibration process.
Locate the instrument in close proximity to the point of
sensor installation - this will allow easy access during
calibration. The sensor-to-instrument distance should not
exceed 200 feet. To maximize signal-to-noise ratio however,
work with the shortest sensor cable possible. The standard
cable length of the sensor is 20 feet (6.1 meters).
2.2 Wall Mount The instrument may be easily wall mounted (see Figure 2-1
details). The multi-purpose bracket is attached to the rear of
the enclosure using the four provided pan head screws. The
protrusion side of the multi-purpose bracket should face into
the depression on the rear of the instrument enclosure. The
instrument is then attached to the wall using the four outer
mounting holes in the bracket.
2.3 Pipe Mount For the pipe-mounting configuration, the multipurpose
bracket is attached to the rear of the enclosure with the four
provided screws. The protrusion on the bracket must face
outward. The bracket may be rotated for proper alignment
prior to mounting (see Figure 2-1 for details).
Once the bracket is fastened to the rear of the enclosure, the
provided pipe clamp must be completely opened and slipped
through the two slots in the multi-purpose mounting bracket.
The clamp is then looped around the pipe, re-attached, and
tightened.
