2.1.1 Presentation of the Transmitter
2-1
The electronic unit amplifies the signal of the amperometric measuring cell and converts it into a direct digital
readout in ppm, mg/l or % saturation. The transmitter is comprised of the following items:
■ Potentiostat which maintains the working electrode potential constant
■ Amperometric measuring module
■ Analog multiplexer
■ Microprocessor unit
The analog multiplexer allows measurement inputs from the measuring cell, temperature sensor and internal
checkpoints. Furthermore, the microprocessor operates the relays, the RS485 interface (optional) and the ana-
log outputs.
The unit has an internal concentration auto-ranging feature and a microprocessor-operated calibration routine.
The output of the potentiostat is monitored for possible overdriving of the potentiostat-output stage. This condi-
tion can occur when the connections to the measuring cell are due to an inoperable electrode or a defective ref-
erence electrode.
