JUMO AQUIS 500 Ci Inductive Conductivity Transmitter

Description

Maintenance-light conductivity and concentration control for dirty media

The JUMO AQUIS 500 Ci (type 202566) is a wall- or panel-mounted transmitter and controller that reads inductive conductivity cells and the temperature of the process liquid. Because an inductive cell has no metal electrodes in contact with the liquid, the measurement tolerates oil, grease, gypsum and lime deposits better than a conductive two-electrode cell, which makes the instrument a practical choice for CIP return lines, cleaning-chemical dosing and process water that fouls quickly. The unit converts the compensated conductivity either into a conductivity value in µS/cm or mS/cm or, with direct selection, into a concentration for NaOH, HNO3, H2SO4 or HCl, and it can also use a customer table of up to 29 value pairs entered through the optional setup program. A graphic LC display with plain-text parameters, a calibration logbook holding the last five calibrations and a binary input for HOLD or key inhibit keep daily operation simple.

Ordering the right AQUIS 500 Ci version

The order code is built in eight steps: basic type 202566, a basic-type extension (10 for panel mounting, 20 for the surface-mounted housing), output 1 and output 2 (000 for none or 888 for a 0(4) to 20 mA and 0 to 10 V analog output), outputs 3 and 4 (000 or 310 for a changeover relay) and the supply (23 for AC 110 to 240 V, 25 for AC/DC 20 to 30 V, 30 for DC 12 to 24 V), followed by extra codes. The datasheet example is 202566/20-888-000-310-000-23/000. The stock version listed by the manufacturer is 202566/20-888-888-310-310-23/000, part number 00542691, which has two analog outputs, two relays and the wide-range AC supply. Output 1 carries the main value or a continuous controller signal, while output 2 carries temperature or a second controller signal. Accessories include a protective roof, a pipe installation set, a DIN rail installation set, a support pillar, a holder for suspension fittings, a back-panel set, PC setup software with an interface cable, and a calibration adapter for inductive conductivity measurement. See the liquid analytical systems category for companion equipment.

Where the inductive principle pays off

JUMO names dairies, breweries, soft-drink bottling, mineral springs, drinking water, liquid food production, CIP and SIP systems, rinsing and cleaning processes and the concentration of acids, lyes and cleaning chemicals as typical uses. In hot, dusty regions the same logic applies to desalination pre-treatment, boiler and cooling-water monitoring, chemical-dosing skids and acid or caustic regeneration lines, where sensor fouling would otherwise force frequent cleaning. The transmitter is designed to connect JUMO tecLine Ci inductive cells (datasheet 202941) through an M12 connector; the row 2 terminals are factory wired for that purpose and must not be rewired. A ventilation screw with a PTFE membrane limits condensation inside the enclosure, and the housing accepts up to two M16 and two M12 cable glands. The surface-mounted case can be fitted to a pipe or DIN rail with the optional sets, so the unit can sit close to the sampling point instead of in a distant cabinet.

About brand

JUMO is the German maker of temperature sensors, process controllers, pressure transmitters and liquid analysis instruments. Moritz Kurt Juchheim founded it in Fulda in 1948 as M. K. Juchheim KG, making glass thermometers with six employees. The name JUMO comes from the founder's name. It is still a family company headquartered in Fulda, and the parent company has been called JUMO GmbH & Co. KG since 2003.

Seven Star LLC is an independent supplier in Muscat. We list JUMO RTD and thermocouple probes, thermowells, transmitters, controllers, recorders and water analysis instruments, and supply them to process plants, OEMs, HVAC contractors and water utilities in Oman and the GCC by type number.

Choosing a temperature sensor starts with the range and accuracy. A Pt100 RTD is accurate and stable from about -200 to 600 °C and is the usual choice in process plants. A thermocouple (type K or J, for example) covers much higher temperatures and responds faster but is less accurate. The wiring also matters: a 3-wire or 4-wire Pt100 connection cancels the resistance of the cable, while a 2-wire connection adds an error that grows with cable length. That is why a head-mounted transmitter is often fitted close to the sensor.

Where JUMO products are used

In Oman and the GCC, JUMO sensors and controllers are used in oil and gas and chemical plants, food and beverage production, plastics and metal heat treatment, HVAC and district cooling, water and wastewater treatment, swimming pools and marine applications.

Ordering JUMO products: what we need

Send the JUMO type number and the full order code from the label (for example 902020/10-...). For probes, add the sensor type (Pt100, Pt1000, type K or J), the number of wires, the insertion length and diameter, and the process connection. For controllers, add the input, outputs and supply voltage.
