Fig. 30: key

When the controller is first switched on, it is in [STOP] state.
In the event of defined error conditions, the controller switched to [STOP] state. The con‐
trol is then off (= 0 % control variable).
To differentiate the operating status [STOP], caused by an error, from the operating
status [STOP], caused by pressing , [ERROR STOP] is displayed instead of [STOP].
Pressing therefore causes the operating status [ERROR STOP] to become [STOP].
Pressing once more causes the controller to start up again.
In [STOP] status, start the controller manually by pressing .
Controller [STOP] means:
n Control is stopped
n The P-relay functioning as a limit value relay and as a PWM relay are switched to a
de-energised state
n The P-relay acting as an alarm relay is activated (no alarm)
The controller restarting causes the following:

While the continuous display is visible, in the statuses [STOP] and [OPERATION], you
can start the priming function [PRIME] by simultaneously pressing and .
Depending on the configuration of the controller, the output relay [P-REL] is actuated at
100 %, the frequency relay [f-REL] is actuated at 80 % of "PUMPMAX" and 16 mA is
output at the mA output. However this is only the case if these outputs are set as actuator

The output relay [P-REL] starts after priming in an activated state.
You can use this function, for example, to transport the feed chemical up to the pump to

The range between [LIMIT↑] and [LIMIT↓] is the valid measuring range.
The controller has a [hysteresis], which is set as a % to the respective [LIMIT] value.
An error message is emitted if, for example, [HYST] = 5 % and [LIMIT↑] is exceeded. If
the level falls below 0.95*[LIMIT↑], the error message is retracted. If the level calls below
[LIMIT↓], the error message is issued, which is retracted again after exceeding 1.05*

10.5 Temperature correction

variable
Available temperature
A temperature reading for the con‐
ductivity always has to be avail‐
able, either by a temperature
measurement or a manual tem‐
perature setpoint.
The correction variable compensates for

the effect of the temperature of the
medium on the measured value. The cor‐
rection variable is the temperature of the
medium to be measured.
Operating modes
n [auto]: The controller analyses the
temperature signal from the tempera‐
ture sensor connected
– For measurements using a tem‐
perature sensor (0 ... 150 °C)
n [manual]: The temperature of the
medium to be measured has to be
measured by the user. The deter‐
mined value is then entered using the
keys: and in the [VALUE]
parameter into the controller and is
saved using .
– This setting is needed for meas‐
urements where the medium to
be measured has a constant tem‐
perature. The temperature is
taken into consideration in the
control.

10.6 Checkout time for measured variable and correction variable

Error text Description
LIMIT ERR Checkout time of the measured variable
TLIMITERR Checkout time of the correction variable
If upon the expiry of the checkout time, the valid measuring range is not reached, then
the DULCOMETER® Compact Controller exhibits the following behaviour:
n LIMIT ERR: The control is switched off. An error current is emitted, provided the
output is configured as a measured variable output
n TLIMITERR: The control is switched off. An error current is emitted, provided the
output is configured as a correction variable output or a measured variable output
Initially the transgression of a limit is only a limit value transgression. This leads to a
‘WARNING’ . Switching on the control time ‘TIMELIM’ (> 0 minutes), creates an alarm
from the limit value transgression. In the event of a [TLIMITERR] a, the control switches
to [STOP].
10.7 Checkout time control

tion of metered chemicals using its own You must allocate an appropriate safety
instrumentation. margin for your own particular process.
You must select the checkout time so that
it is greater than the dead time. You can
determine the dead time, by operating the
metering pump in manual mode and, for
example, dosing acid.
84
The parameter ‘LIMIT’ can be used to set

a limit for the control variable. If the con‐
trol variable exceeds this limit value, the
CHECKTIME fault is triggered (checkout
time of the control has elapsed). The con‐
trol is switched to basic load and a fault
current output.
10.8 Power relay "P-REL" as

limit value relay
The power relay ‘P-REL’ can be config‐
ured as a limit value relay. It always act
only on the measurement variable,
whereby the limits are set in ‘LIMITS’ .
The relay is activated upon infringement
of either the top or lower limit values.
Constant checking is carried out to deter‐
mine whether a limit has been infringed
and if this is interrupted with the power
relay configured ‘P-REL= limit’ for at least
‘DELAY ON’ seconds, then the relay is
activated. If the limit value transgression
disappears for at least ‘DELAY OFF’ sec‐
onds, then the limit value relay is again
deactivated.
The limit value relay is deactivated imme‐
diately upon: ‘STOP’ , user calibration,
‘PAUSE’ and ‘HOLD’ .

The switching times of the relay (solenoid valve) depend on the cycle time, the
control variable and the ‘min. time’ (smallest permissible switch-on time for the
connected device). The actuating variable determines the ratio ton/cycle and thus
also the switching times.
The ‘min. time’ affects the switching times in two situations:

The DULCOMETER® Compact Controller does not switch on for a certain number of
cycles until the sum of the theoretical switching times exceeds ‘min. time’ . Then it
switches for the duration of this total time.

cycles until the differences between the cycle and the theoretical switching time exceed
‘min. time’ .

10.10 Alarm relay

The alarm relay triggers in ‘OPERATION’
(normal mode) if an error occurs which
has been defined as ‘ERROR’ and not
just as ‘WARNING’ .
The error message ‘ALARM’ in the con‐
tinuous display is marked with a ✱ (star)
and can be acknowledged with the key.
The alarm and the ✱ will then disappear.
10.11 "Error logger" operating

mode
The last three errors are displayed. Also
displayed is how long ago (in minutes)
they occurred. When a new fault occurs,
the oldest fault is deleted.
Faults are only shown which occur in
operating status ‘OPERATION’ , i.e. not in
operating status ‘STOP’ , ‘CAL’ (user cali‐
bration), ‘HOLD’ or ‘ PAUSE’ .
Only ‘ERRORs’ are shown, not
‘WARNINGS’ , e.g. a ‘LIMIT ERR’ is
shown, but not ‘ LIMIT↑’ .
A fault, whose display has lasted for 999
minutes is automatically deleted from the
‘Error Logger’ . The ‘Error Logger’ is nei‐
ther saved nor backed up in the event of
power loss.

attempts at cleaning it. ficient is approximately 2% /°C of the tem‐
perature change.
Calibrating the cell constant generally
compensates for both effects. Films on
the sensors, caused for example by dirt or
lime can also change the cell constant.
The cell constants are generally changed
gradually over a long period of time. In the
event of change, repeated monitoring or
cleaning of the sensor is imperative.
Temperature coefficients
If an aqueous solution is heated, it
increases its electrolytic conductivity,
although the concentration of,
for example, salts has not changed.
The temperature coefficient compensates
mathematically for this temperature influ‐
ence on the conductivity so that when the
temperature of the solution is changed,
the same display value always appears
(Attention: the temperature has to be
measured).
The temperature measurement of a con‐
ductivity sensor is sluggish, so that it
needs a few minutes until the temperature
of the liquid is displayed in a stable
manner. Wait until the value is stable or
slightly begins to change in opposite
directions. In the event of rapid tempera‐
ture changes, we would recommend an
external temperature sensor with a fast
response time.
