Introduction
The 9125 transmitter is a user-friendly instrument
(installation, programming), equipped with a
microprocessor it can be configured to correspond to
any application in the following sectors :
x drinking water,
x waste water,
x process (chemistry, paper mills, sugar mills...),
x measurement in pure/ultrapure water (energy
power plants, semiconductor industry, chemistry).
The 9125 transmitter should be connected to a probe
via a cable.
Conductivity measurement
The electric conductivity measures the transport of
electric charges in any field. In metal conductors, the
current flows by transport of electrons, whereas in
solutions, it flows by transport of ions such as Na+ and
Cl- which ensure the transport of charges. The higher
the transport of charges is, the greater is the
conductance of the solution.
Conductivity is the capacity a solution has to
conduct current.
In solution, conductivity is much more complicated
than in conductors because several species ensure
the transport of charges. For instance, in drinking
water the conductive species registered are sodium,
calcium, magnesium, ferrous cations, ferrites,
phosphates and nitrate ions. For slightly concentrated
solutions, the concentration of H+ protons and hydroxyl
OH- ions (stemming from the weak dissociation of the
water [H+] = [OH-] = 10-7 mol/l to 25°C) can no
longer be neglected in the presence of the product,
this therefore leads to a non-linear variation
Conductivity/Concentration.

Main connection
Electrical connection should be performed only by
qualified personnel. For the base model, the power
supply accepts 100-240 VAC r 10 %, (50/60 Hz)
without changes in configuration. Before switching the
transmitter, make sure the site voltage corresponds to
the instrument voltage indicated on the identification
plate. The terminal block for power connections can be
lifted from its header for easier installation.
For safety reasons, it is required to observe the
precautions below :
x Use a three wire mains supply cable (2 core + PE)
with a cross section between 0.35 and 2 mm²
(AWG 22 to 14) rated at 105°C minimum. The
external cable insulation should be cut as close as
possible from the terminal block.
x The instrument should be connected to the power
supply by means of a breaker located close to the
instrument and be identified. The supply shall be
fitted with an overcurrent protection device rated at
20 Amp maximum.
x This breaker should switch off phase and neutral in
case of electrical problems or when the user wish
to service the instrument. However the power
supply earth must always be connected.
x Cabling should be specified for a minimum of 80°C
(176°F).
Note :
Before servicing the instrument, ensure that the
power supply is switched off.
Page 20
Relays connections
The 9125 is equipped with 4 relays. Relay S4may be
configured as a temporized relay. The nominal value
of the cutoff current of each relay is 2A for 250 Vca or
0,5 A for 100 Vcc. Cabling should be specified for a
minimum of 80°C (176°F). See figure 3.1 page 17 for
connection location.
x S1 is located on the upper part of the terminal and
S2, S3 and S4 under. Each relay is connected to a
2 separated contact terminal, which may be
removed to facilitate the installation.
Page 21
Sensor connections
The conductivity sensors have a double shielding, the
first one is connected the CPU board, the second one
(external) is connected to earth on the shielded plate.
Execute the connections according to the following

6. Polarization
Electric representation of the probe and its cable
In a conductivity measurement with a 2 electrode
probe the measurement current is transmitted via the
electrodes. The current is ensured by electrons in the
electrodes and by ionic migration in the solution
measured. An electron exchange process occurs
between the solution and the electrodes.
A significant example below :
2 H2O=H+ + O2 + 4e-
and
2 H2O +2e- = H2 +2 OH-
This reaction requires energy and causes a potential
difference which does not rely on conductivity.
This phenomenon is known as polarization and may
be represented by the scheme below :
