The microwave modules do not include any replaceable components and must not be opened. MicroPolar (++) LB 566 13 Chapter 2. General Information 2.3 Intended Use The LB 566 can be used to determine the water or moisture content and the concentration of virtually any material. The fol-

lowing sensors and evaluation versions are available:

1. The container probes have been designed for installation in-

to containers and pipelines with a nominal width of 200 mm. The probe is mounted so that both measuring rods

(transmitter and receiver) are immersed into the product being measured. 2. The FlowCell is a tubular probe, with the microwave trans-

mitter and receiver being firmly welded onto the outside of the tube. The tube is lined with Teflon to ensure smooth walls. The FlowCell is either installed directly into the exist-

ing pipeline system or into a bypass. The evaluation unit is available in two versions: The standard model MicroPolar and the high dynamic version MicroPolar ++. The Micro Polar ++ requires a microwave signal attenuation of at least 40 dB. The MicroPolar must be used for lower micro-

wave attenuation. During operation, the concentration meters MicroPolar and Mi-

croPolar ++ emit electromagnetic radiation in the frequency range between 2.4 GHz and 2.5 GHz (range limitations depend-

ing on local regulations in your country). Microwaves are not dangerous to human beings and the environment (power radia-

tion < 10 mW). The microwaves are emitted directed from the microwave window; the product is not altered by the micro-

waves. To ensure proper function of the measuring system, please pay attention to the following:

TIP The material to be measured may be electrically conduc-

tive only to a limited degree. The product must not contain any gas bubbles or gas bubbles have to be compressed with adequate pressure when carrying out measurements in pipelines. The ion concentration, for example, salt content must be nearly constant. 14 MicroPolar (++) LB 566 Chapter 2. General Information 2.4 Explanation of Terms Attenuation Weakening of microwave signals, microwaves measuring effect. EVU Evaluation Unit Factory setting In the factory setting all parameters have been set to default values. In most cases this considerably facilitates the calibra-

tion of the instrument. Despite factory setting, calibration always has to be performed. FlowCell Tubular probe for simple integration into the existing pipeline system.

TC Temperature compensation MicroPolar (++) LB 566 15 Chapter 3. System Description Chapter 3. System Description 3.1 Principle of Measurement As the microwaves pass through the product, their propagation velocity is slowed down (= phase shift) and their intensity is at-

tenuated (= attenuation). Figure 3-1 illustrates the principle of measurement: Compared to a reference signal, the propagation velocity of microwaves passing through the product is slowed down (phase shift) and their intensity (attenuation) is reduced. Reference signal HF sources Reference path Transmitter Messgut Receiver Phase comparison

--> Phase Amplitude comp.

--> Attenuation Measured value:

Concentration %DS Measurement signal Phase shift The prerequisite is that the product being measured shows die-

lectric properties. Generally, water is a very distinct dielectric fluid. The water or dry mass concentration can therefore be de-

termined by measuring the phase shift and/or attenuation. The concentration to be detected in the product is therefore in good approximation linearly dependent on the phase shift and the attenuation. For this reason, we can measure the concen-

tration or the dry matter content of the product using a linear calibration (see chapter 3.2 Calculation of Measured Values). Figure 3-1:

Schematic diagram:

Change in microwave by product MicroPolar (++) LB 566 17 Chapter 3. System Description 3.2 Calculation of Measured Values The microwave parameters phase and attenuation are calibrat-

ed according to an automatic plausibility analysis. During calibration, the phase and/or attenuation of a concentra-

tion value (or density value) are assigned through sampling. The calibration is done automatically and the sampling process is supported by the evaluation unit. Which of the parameters (phase, attenuation or both) will be used for the calibration depends on the size and interference of the measuring effect. For example, the attenuation is signifi-

cantly more sensitive to electrolytic conductivity (salt content). In many cases, the pure phase measurement is recommended and the measured value is calculated as follows:

Measured value = A Phase + C Eq. 3-1 where:

Measured value Concentration / Moisture / Dry matter A, C Coefficients of the respective calibration function The LB 566 allows you to calibrate, display and output two con-

centrations: Con1 and Con2. You have to enter the calibration coefficients separately for concentration 1 and 2. For more in-

formation please refer to the Software Manual. Limitations Weakly bound water can be detected depending on the strength of the binding. Thus, the measuring effect may be dependent on the grain size distribution and the chemical properties of the product being measured, provided this changes the binding of water to the solid matter. Walls made of plastic, rubber or insulation materials with fairly low dielectricity hardly affect the measurement and are calibrated at a constant level. Ice and crystal water cannot be measured because the water molecules cannot rotate freely (ice and crystal water are dry). 18 MicroPolar (++) LB 566 Compensation Chapter 3. System Description Conductive materials such as graphite or coke cannot be trans-

mitted by microwaves. Metal walls can also not be transmitted by microwaves. In addition to the water content, the product temperature, product density and a varying material load (varying microwave irradiation path) may have an influence on the phase and at-

tenuation. This influence has to be compensated for during cali-

bration. 3.3 Temperature Compensation fluctuating Temperature compensation (TC) is required for product temperature. It is generally advisable to provide a tem-

perature compensation, i.e. a temperature signal (0/4...20 mA or PT100) to be connected to the evaluation unit and, optional-

ly, to enable the compensation in the evaluation unit. The eval-

uation unit is designed so that the required TCs can be calcu-

lated automatically. The variation in temperature where TC be-

comes absolutely essential is dependent on the product and on the water content. In the first approximation, 2 C should be set as fluctuation limit. For example, if the product temperature is measured via the PT100 input, then Eq. 3-1 is expanded as follows:

Measured value = A Phase + D Tmeas + C Eq. 3-2 where:

Measured value Concentration / Moisture / Dry matter A, D, C Tmeas Coefficients of the calibration function Product temperature How to work with the temperature compensation is described in detail in the Software Manual. MicroPolar (++) LB 566 19 Chapter 3. System Description 3.4 Throughput Calculation and Output For pipeline applications, the LB 566 allows you to calculate the throughput (mass flow) and to output the result via a current output. The calculation is based on the microwave measured value; if this value correlates with the product density, one can calculate the throughput, if some additional information is available. The additional information needed is: internal pipe diameter/cross section and the product speed. The product speed has to be fed via current input. For details, please see the Software Manual, chapter 4.2.12 Mass Flow. 20 MicroPolar (++) LB 566 Chapter 3. System Description 3.5 Mechanical Components The measuring system comprises an evaluation unit, a probe/antenna pair and one set of special high-frequency cables

(short HF-cable). The evaluation unit is available in two ver-

sions: the standard model MicroPolar LB 566 and the high dy-

namics version MicroPolar ++ LB 566 (see Figure 3-4 and Fig-

ure 3-5). Figure 3-4:

Hygiene milk pipe screw connection DIN 11853 V flange EN 1092-1 22 MicroPolar (++) LB 566 Chapter 3. System Description 3.5.1 Evaluation Units The evaluation units comprise the evaluation computer and the microwave unit. The microwaves are generated, received and analyzed in the microwave unit. Signal processing and commu-

nication take place in the evaluation computer. For simple oper-

ation, the measuring system includes a display, 4 softkeys and an alphanumeric keypad. Different functions are assigned to the softkeys on the display. Differences between MicroPolar ++ und MicroPolar The MicroPolar ++ evaluation unit has an additional HF amplifier module in comparison to the standard model; therefore, it also has a larger wall housing (dimensions see chapter 6.1 Technical Data Evaluation Unit). Otherwise, the evaluation units differ on-

ly in their application. The high dynamics version MicroPolar ++ permits higher product attenuations. Larger measuring paths can be irradiated, i.e. flow cells with larger nominal diameters can be used. Which type of evaluation unit is used depends on the product attenua-

tion. MicroPolar is used up to an attenuation of 50 dB; MicroPo-

lar ++ is used for higher attenuations. The MicroPolar ++ gen-

erally requires an attenuation of 40 dB. If this attenuation is not reached, the software displays an error message. An RS232 interface is included on the bottom side of the in-

strument. MicroPolar ++

nector strip in the wall cabinet. The terminal block can be ac-

cessed from the front by opening the cover of the housing. There, you also find the power cut-off switch and the fuses. The high-frequency terminals are located on the outside of the housing. All other elements, especially the voltage-carrying el-

ements (on the motherboard) are provided with a protective cover. 3.5.2 FlowCell The FlowCell is available in the nominal sizes of 50 to 150 mm

(see fig. 3-11). As connection, the versions V flange EN 1092-1 or Hygiene milk pipe screw connection DIN 11853 are available. For technical data please see chapter 6.2 Technical Data Sen-

sors. Figure 3-11:

FlowCell versions A: with V flange EN 1092-1 B: with Hygiene milk pipe screw connection DIN 11853 MicroPolar (++) LB 566 25 Chapter 3. System Description The flow cell consists of a sturdy stainless steel body. The mi-

crowave transmitter and receiver are firmly welded to the out-

side of the pipe. The entire product pipe is PTFE-coated and thus meets the special requirements for use in food for use in food. There are no objects that extend into the pipe (e.g. a measuring sensor). Depending on the version, the FlowCell can be mount-

ed with the V flange or milk pipe screw connection to the piping. For the versions with V flange, ASA adapter flanges are availa-

ble as accessory. The FlowCell has two HF ports to feed in and output the micro-

wave signals. The input and output can be allocated as needed

(M-Tx, M-Rx). The microwave signals transmit the product over the entire pipeline cross-section. For all versions, the following accessories are available:

1. Pipe-mounted PT100 or Inline PT100 2. Conductivity measuring device 3. Sampling valve 26 MicroPolar (++) LB 566 Chapter 3. System Description 3.5.4 Container Probe The container probe is available in a version with and without flushing device (see Figure 3-12). The technical data are listed in chapter 6.2 Technical Data Sensors. Figure 3-12:

Container probe versions A: High-frequency connections B: Process connection, flanges of different sizes Container probe type LB 5650 and type LB 5651 The container probe has been specially designed for concentra-

tion measurements in containers. Both measuring rods are im-

mersed into the product. Microwaves are emitted from one end of the rod and received by the other end of the rod; they are emitted only towards the opposite end of the rod. This direc-

tional characteristic of the probe minimizes the interfering influ-

ence of metal parts in the vicinity of the probe and allows instal-

lation if only limited space is available. For example, the con-

centration of sugar strike can be measured continuously to find the suitable inoculation time. The plastic caps of the measuring rods meet the special re-

quirements for application in foodstuffs. Two different probe types are available:

The standard type is the container probe without flushing device. The flushing probe is used in processes where incrustations are likely to occur, for example, due to increased deposi-

tions. The flushing device prevents deposition on the micro-

wave exit windows. MicroPolar (++) LB 566 27 Chapter 3. System Description For the case depicted in Figure 3-13, the flow direction of the product being measured must be perpendicular to the drawing plane. This ensures a representative product between the measuring rods, provided the product is mixed thoroughly. Figure 3-13:

Container probe LB 5650 PT100 The container probe LB 5650 is the only one equipped with a PT100 connection and can be connected to the evaluation unit via a 4-core cable. The PT100 wiring diagram is described in chapter 4.6.1 Pin Configuration of the Connector Strip. To min-

imize the danger of incrustation in the immediate vicinity of the measuring rods, the container flush probe is not provided with a PT100. Warning: Possible material damage!

Do not open the cover screws on the front of the container probes, see Figure 3-14. Figure 3-14:

Front view container probe 28 MicroPolar (++) LB 566 Chapter 3. System Description Container probe type LB 5651 with flushing device The flushing probe LB 5661 has been designed for processes in which depositions, for example, due to incrustations are likely to occur on the probe. The flushing probe has two flushing channels which keep the measuring rods free from incrustations; this ensures that the microwaves come into direct contact with the product being measured. All probe parts coming into contact with the product meet the special requirements for application in foodstuffs. Fig-

~1.5 m m MicroPolar (++) LB 566 29 Chapter 3. System Description 3.5.5 High-frequency Cable High-frequency cables (HF cable) are used to transmit micro-

wave signals. HF cables change their conductivity (for microwaves) with tem-

perature and would therefore produce measurement errors with varying ambient temperature. This error is compensated for by enabling the automatic cable compensation. The influences of the ambient temperature on the signal cable are compensated for by means of the reference cable. To this end, the sum of the reference cables has to match the length of the sum of the sig-

nal cables. Two different HF cable types of different lengths are available:

Version 1: The so-called HF-cable quad: It consists of four sin-

gle HF-cables of equal length, whose ends are terminated by one HF-connector (N-type). Available cable lengths: 2, 4, 6 and 10 m (see Figure 3-17). The HF-cable quad is used exclusively for the container probe and the FlowCell. For the FlowCell, the reference line on the probe side is short-circuited using an N-connector (see Figure 3-

18). 4 x N-connector 4 x N-

MicroPolar (++) LB 566 31 Chapter 3. System Description 3.6 Assembly on a Pipeline The evaluation unit is installed close to the FlowCell to keep the HF cable between evaluation unit and probe as short as possi-

ble. The shorter the cable connection, the better the stability of the measurement. The standard length is 2 m and the maxi-

mum length of the HF cable is 10 m. The HF cable must be at least 2 m long. The FlowCell is integrated into the existing pipeline system or in a bypass. The orientation of the FlowCell can either be vertical or horizontal. To avoid possible sedimentary deposits, vertical installation in a riser is preferred (see Figure 3-20). The installation should preferably be close to a sample sampling point to ensure representative sampling for calibration. A representative temperature signal (current signal or PT100) should be connected to the evaluation unit for product tempera-

ture compensation. Figure 3-20:

Typical measurement arrangement on a pipeline 32 MicroPolar (++) LB 566 Chapter 3. System Description 3.7 Assembly on a Container The evaluation unit is installed in the immediate vicinity of the container probe to keep the HF-cable between evaluation unit and probe fairly short. The shorter the cable connection, the better the stability of the measurement. The standard length is 2 m and the maximum length of the HF cable is 10 m. The HF cable must be at least 2 m long. The installation should preferably be close to a sampling point to ensure representative sampling for calibration. A representa-

tive temperature signal (current signal or PT100) should be connected to the evaluation unit for a possibly required product temperature compensation. Our example in Figure 3-21 shows the measurement configura-

tion on a process container. The probe is fixed to the container wall using a flange coupling so that both measuring rods are immersed into the product. Figure 3-21:

System parts may get damaged during transportation!

Transport all components in their original packaging. Protect parts against shocks. In particular, the measuring rods of the container probes must be protected against mechanical shock!

After unpacking, make sure all parts listed on the packing list have been delivered and show no sign of damage; if necessary, clean these parts. If you detect any damage, please notify the forwarder and the manufacturer immediately. The weight of the system components may exceed 25 kg, depending on the version. We recommend, therefore, that you wear safety boots. MicroPolar (++) LB 566 35 Chapter 4. Getting Started 4.2 Commissioning the FlowCell 4.2.1 Installing the FlowCell Note the following points when installing the FlowCell:

The FlowCell is integrated at a suitable location in the pipe-

line system. Keep in mind that material sampling directly behind the FlowCell should be possible for calibration. The FlowCell should be installed in a vertical riser, if possi-

ble. It must be ensured that material deposits cannot form on the pipe walls and no bubble formation occurs in the product. In case of horizontal installation, please observe the correct orientation of the HF connections, see Figure 4-

2. There should be a straight pipe section of at least 300 mm and equal nominal width before and after the FlowCell to en-

sure a fairly homogeneous flow profile and to rule out possi-

bly occurring microwave reflections in the pipeline. Also, not fittings must be installed in these pipe sections. No gas inclusions should be present in the product. If gas bubbles cannot be ruled out, a pressure of at least 4 bar is required in the pipeline to minimize the influence of gas bubbles. Please observe the max. permissible operating pressure, see chapter 6.2 Technical Data Sensors. The high-frequency cables should preferably be connected to the FlowCell from below to prevent flowing water from get-

ting to the connection sockets. The signal and reference cable should as far as possible fol-

low the same path to make sure both cables are exposed to the same temperature and should not come into contact with hot pipelines. We recommend installing the HF cable through a single protection tube. If you are working with the HF cable quad, this function is taken over in good approxi-

mation by the corrugated tube. 36 MicroPolar (++) LB 566 Chapter 4. Getting Started Abb. 4-1:

Position the evaluation unit depending on the length of the HF cable in the vicinity of the microwave probe. The evaluation unit has to be protected against vibrations. In some cases, it is advisable to set up the evaluation unit on a stand separated from the pipeline system. For instrument installation you should foresee a cutoff de-

vice to allow easy and quick disconnection of the device from the power supply. Provide an automatic separating device (line circuit breaker) that disconnects the unit from power within 0.03 seconds in case of failure. The separating device must be matched to the cable cross-section of the supply line, but at least it must be designed for 1 A continuous current. When installing the evaluation unit on a crystallizer, use a distance rail to minimize the thermal radiation and conduc-

tion. See Figure 4-3:

For outdoor applications, the evaluation unit must be pro-

tected from direct sunlight and rain, for example by a suita-

ble shelter. Insulation container wall Figure 4-3:

Version 1:

Version 2:

1 x HF cable quad and 1 x N-connector 2 x HF cables (as signal cable) 1 x HF cable (as reference cable) The decision for a certain cable version is taken by Berthold Technologies in the planning stage. It is subject to the applica-

tion and the desired distance between evaluation unit and FlowCell. Prerequisite for a correct measurement is the correct installation of cables! Please keep in mind:

TIP Make sure the cable does not get into contact with hot pipes over the entire length (corrugated tube and single cable section after splitting), e.g. direct contact with the device wall

(not insulated). This will ensure that all individual cables are exposed to the same ambient conditions and that the com-

pensation of the cable drift works properly. Never bend the HF cable! The bending radius should not be less than 100 mm. Fix the HF cable with cable binders or other suitable means, so that the cable cannot slip anymore!

During assembly, ensure that the end of the corrugated tube is bent down on the probe side. By doing so, the ingress of fluids into the corrugated tube is prevented. The HF cable quad and the HF connectors on the evaluation unit are labeled. Connect the FlowCell to the evaluation unit as shown in Figure 4-4; only cables with identical labeling can be combined. The two connections on the FlowCell are not labeled, the assignment of both cable connectors M-Tx and M-Rx is arbi-

trary. Connect the cable connectors R-Tx and R-Mx with the N-

connector (short-circuited). Connect the FlowCell to the evaluation unit as shown in Figure 4-5; make sure that the reference cable (ring line) is connected to R-Tx and R-Mx. The reference cable must be as long as the sum of both signal cables. Version 1 Version 1 MicroPolar (++) LB 566 39 Chapter 4. Getting Started Abb. 4-4:

accurate measurements or corrosion of the connections. the installation is exposed to vibrations, 40 MicroPolar (++) LB 566 Chapter 4. Getting Started As long as the cables are not connected, the coaxial sockets have to be covered with plastic caps and the cable connectors have to be protected against moisture and dirt. 4.3 Commissioning the Container Probe 4.3.1 Installing the Container Probe For installation of the probes, please keep in mind:

Select the installation site such that good mixing and a ho-

mogeneous product are ensured and no bubbles are present in the probe. A sample tap should be available in the direct vicinity to allow representative sampling. The probe must be flanged to the container so that the ma-

terial to be measured flows between the two measuring rods. That means the fork (both measuring rods) must be installed perpendicular to the material flow. The distance between the measuring rod tips and any metal-

ized walls (heating element, stirrer, container wall) should be at least 60 mm. The following mounting hole dimensions in the fitting flange are required for installation of the probe:

Flange DN 65 / PN 6 others Minimum mounting hole size (mm) 102 0.3 104 0.5 For further installation dimensions, such as the required in-

stallation depth, please refer to chapter 8.6 and 8.7 Assem-

bly Sheets. Use the appropriate flat gasket (standard accessory) to compensate for minor surface tolerances in the fitting flange. Installation on process containers Figure 3-26 shows the position of the container probe on the container. This position is also valid for the container flush probe. Follow the instructions in chapter 3.9 Assembly on a Container. The assembly sheets in chapters 8.6 and 8.7 include all the in-

formation required for installation. Depending on the process, the probe flange may stick to the process flange. In such case, during the dismounting process, 41 Dismounting in the event of a stuck flange MicroPolar (++) LB 566 Chapter 4. Getting Started remove the two eyebolts first. Then insert two longer screws

(M8) into their bore holes up to the process flange. If you con-

tinue to rotate the screws, you will push the probe away from the process flange. Installation in pipelines Container probes can be installed in pipelines with a nominal width 200 mm using an adapter flange. Note the position and orientation of the container probe, see the technical drawings in chapter 8.4.7 and 8.5.6 Installation Situation in Pipelines. Connecting the flushing pipes The container probe with flushing device has two flushing con-

nections with G3/8'' female thread (DIN ISO 228-1). The flush-

ing connections should be sealed only at this thread. Sealing the probe cover, for example with silicone, is not permitted. Flushing parameters (only for flushing probe) The degree of deposition or incrustation is essential for the flush settings, i.e. flush interval and flush duration. The flushing pa-

rameters must be matched to the product and the process. The following product and process independent flushing param-

eters must be strictly adhered to:

Flush solution Temperature of flush solution Pressure Fittings Supply pipe Water, condensate Maximum 120C 3 bar, max. 8 bar 2 x G3/8'' female thread (DIN ISO 228-1) 1/2 inch In general: The flushing connections can be flushed simultane-

ously or sequentially. The flushing parameters are valid for each flushing connection. TIP The required flush duration has to take into account possible inertias of the system, e.g. valve openings. The flush supply pipes must be well insulated to prevent that the flush solution is initially colder. Amounts of water With a 5 bar flushing pressure, the amount of water per flushing connector is approximately 0.8 liters per second. 42 MicroPolar (++) LB 566 Chapter 4.

Service instructions 5.1 General Information A malfunction of the measuring system is not always due to a defect in the instrument. Often the error is caused by incorrect operation, improper installation or irregularities in the product being measured. If a malfunction occurs, anyway, the measur-

ing system helps you to identify and eliminate errors by display-

ing error messages on the display, indicating operator errors and defects of the electronics. Defective modules of the evaluation unit cannot usually be re-

paired but must be replaced. The microwave module is firmly bolted to a screening hood and must not be opened. For device disposal, please contact the Berthold Service and ap-

ply for a recycling passport. MicroPolar (++) LB 566 51 Chapter 5. Service instructions 5.2 Wear Parts The evaluation unit does not include any parts that are subject to wear or components that require special maintenance. The plastic caps of the measuring rods of the container probes and the PEEK Microwave window of the flow cell may be subject to abrasion over the course of time. A low to medium abrasive influences the measurement only very little and can be compen-

sated for by a calibration. Therefore, check the wear parts in in-

tervals of about 2 years. In case of heavy wear, the plastic caps of the measuring rods of the container probe and the PEEK Mi-

crowave window of the flow cells can be replaced. The plastic caps of the measuring rods can be replaced on site. For this purpose, please proceed as follows:

1 Unscrew the two plastic caps from the measuring rods and remove the four sealing rings (see figure 5-1, yellow arrow). 2 Clean the four grooves of the sealing rings with a lint-free (if necessary wet) cloth. 3 For each measuring rod, insert two new sealing rings into the grooves. 4 Screw on the two new plastic caps.

Parts coming into contact with the product (during regular operation) can be cleaned with warm water, taking into account the temperature limits, see chapter 6.2 Technical Data Sensors. 5.4 Battery If the measuring system LB 566 is a long time without power supply (power failure or disconnected from the mains supply), the system clock is powered by the lithium battery on the motherboard. If the battery voltage is no longer sufficient, the error message CODE 14 "Battery voltage" appears after a restart of the eval-

uation unit. After acknowledging the error message, the unit continues to work properly; however, the date and time should be checked and corrected, if necessary. Measurement data that are output via a serial interface can be fatally damaged by in-

correct date and time information. We recommend changing the batteries immediately. The service life of the battery, even under continuous stress, is approximately 8 years. Replacement of batteries must be car-

ried out in a device disconnected from mains. Battery type: 3 Volt lithium cell (button cell), type CR2032 MicroPolar (++) LB 566 53 Chapter 5.

The display on the left shows the default settings, which may have to be entered. During normal measurement operation, Sigma lies between 0 to 100. Therefore, Sigmamax = 100 is a good choice for most applications. However, if you constantly get sigma val-

ues up to 300 during the measurement, you may increase the limit up to 500. Higher sigma values than that usually in-

dicate a fault, such as continuous air bubbles which have to be eliminated. For most applications, the Phi/att ratio is not known; there-

fore, it has to be determined once. For this, you need the Au-

to setting, which otherwise must always be set to OFF. The exact procedure is described in chapter 9.1. 46 MicroPolar (++) LB 566 Chapter 6. Calibration Chapter 6. Calibration Note: The measuring system must have reached normal operat-

System adjustment and calibration are carried out in just the same way for MicroPolar ++, as they are for the standard system MicroPolar. However, please keep in mind that the

++ unit requires a minimum attenuation of 40 dB over the entire concentration range and during system adjustment. When falling below, the measurement is not precise any-

more. The total attenuation is calculated as follows:

If the required overall attenuation is not reached, you have the option to install a 10 dB fixed attenuator into the trans-

mitting branch (see Fig. 7-1). The standard model MicroPolar should be used if the attenuation is clearly below the re-

- Do not stop the measurement

- Do not change the concentration erratically (max. 1 %).

See chapter 6.3 Sampling After completion of sampling, the individual samples will be enabled or disabled during input of the laboratory values, relative to the set split values. All samples smaller or equal to the split value will be assigned to the lower concentration range and all samples above to the upper concentration range. The assignment of the samples is carried out automatically, for example, by setting the split value or by entering the lab values have been entered (e.g. after re-sampling). The as-

signment depends on the split value and the lab value. IMPORTANT The split value entry allows you to enable samples that have been disabled earlier through automatic assignment! In these cases, disabled samples should better be deleted or disabled again after a split value entry!

section of both calibration curves. This will be corrected auto-
