Omega CDE-45P Conductivity Sensor
Part 1– Introduction
Part 1 - Introduction
1.1
1.2
General
The Model CDE-45P Conductivity Sensor measures the
conductivity of aqueous solutions in industrial and municipal
process applications. It is designed to perform in the
harshest of environments. All seals are dual o-ring using
multiple sealing materials. The sensor is designed for use
with the Omega CDTX-45 Monitor/Analyzer.
Sensor Features
•
4-Electrode measurement system. Two of the
electrodes are used to establish the sensor drive
potential, while the other two sense the flow of current
between the drive electrodes and maintain proper
drive potential. In conventional 2-electrode sensors,
as the process solution coats the electrode surfaces,
the sensor output signal begins to decrease,
producing an artificially low conductivity
measurement. The Omega 4-Electrode system thus
offers a high degree of accuracy for a longer period of
time. The four electrodes are made of titanium for
greater chemical resistance.
•
The Omega 4-Electrode system compensates for the
Effects of electrode fouling. As the electrodes
become coated by the process solution, a feedback
Mechanism detects the decrease in drive potential
and automatically re-establishes the proper levels.
When coating is such that compensation is no longer
possible, and alarm signals the user that the sensor
requires cleaning. The system also alerts the user in
the event of integral temperature element failure.
•
•
The Omega 4-Electrode system allows a single
Sensor configuration to be used reliably over a wide
Conductivity range. There is no need for multiple
sensors with varying cell constants that are restricted
to narrow operating ranges.
Pt1000 RTD. The temperature element used in this
Sensor is highly accurate and provides a highly linear
output.

Part 2– Installation
Part 2 – Installation
2.1
General
The CDE-45P Conductivity Sensor is designed for
industrial and municipal process applications.
Mounting options include flow-through, submersion,
insertion (special hardware required), or integral
mount to the CDTX-45 Conductivity Monitor/Analyzer.
The sensor-to-analyzer distance must not exceed 60
feet (18.2 meters).
Calibrate the sensor before placing it into the process.
See Model CDTX-45 Monitor/Analyzer Instruction
Manual for detailed calibration instructions.
The sensor comes with a removable guard that
surrounds the electrode face. This guard minimizes
interference effects in tight locations where the sensor
face is close to surrounding objects. If it is removed,
take care to leave at least 1 in3 of space in front of the
electrodes. If the guard is to be used, the sensor
must be calibrated with it in place, since the guard
affects the sensor cell constant.

2.2
Electrical
The Model CDE-45P sensor comes standard with 15 feet of 6
conductor double shielded cable. The cable is permanently
attached to the sensor, and a PEEK cordgrip is used to seal around
the cable. Nevertheless, the cable should always be kept as clean
and dry as possible.
DANGER: DO NOT connect sensor cable to power lines.
Serious injury may result.
Take care to route sensor cable away from AC power lines,
adjustable frequency drives, motors, or other noisy electrical signal
lines. Do not run signal lines in the same conduit as AC power
lines. Run signal cable in dedicated metal conduit if possible. For
optimum electrical noise protection, run an earth ground wire to the
ground terminal in the transmitter
Refer to Figure 2-2, Cable Description and Figure 2-3, Wiring
Diagram for illustrative details on electrical installation.
Figure 2-2 Cable Description, Model CDE-45P
Only 6-wire shielded interconnect cable must be used when
connecting the Model CDE-45P sensor to the analyzer. This high-
performance, double shielded, polyethylene jacketed cable is
specially designed to provide the proper signal shielding for the
sensor used in this system. No substitutions can be made.
Substituted cables may cause problems with system performance

Notes:1. Voltage between Terminals 11 and 12 MUST be between 16 and 35 VDC.
2. Earth ground into Terminal 14 is STRONGLY recommended. This connection
can greatly improve stability in electrically noisy environments.

3.1
Cleaning the Sensor
Keep the sensor as clean as possible for optimum measurement
accuracy. Frequency of cleaning depends upon the process
solution.
Note: Mechanical cleaning of the electrode surfaces may harm
measurement quality if not performed with care. Do NOT use
wire brushes, sandpaper and the like to clean any
conductivity electrode.
Wipe the measuring end of the sensor with a clean with a clean soft
cloth. Then rinse with clean water (distilled or de-ionized if
possible). This should remove most contaminate buildup.
If necessary, soak the sensor for several minutes in a mild soap
solution. Use a small, extra-soft bristle brush (such as a mushroom
brush) to thoroughly clean the electrode surfaces. If surface
deposits are not completely removed after performing this step, a
dilute acid may be used to dissolve the deposits. Soak for a few
minutes, and then rinse the sensor thoroughly with clean water
(distilled or de-ionized if possible).
Note: DO NOT soak the sensor in dilute acid solution for more
than 5 minutes.
WARNING: ACIDS ARE HAZARDOUS. Always wear eye and
skin protection when handling. Follow all Material Safety Data
Sheet recommendations. A hazardous chemical reaction can be
created when certain acids come in contact with process
chemicals. Make this determination before cleaning with any acid,
regardless of concentration. DO NOT use Hydrochloric Acid on
any stainless steel portion of the sensor.
After cleaning the sensor, check measurement and re-calibrate the
sensor.

3.2 Troubleshooting
Part 3 –Maintenance & Troubleshooting
The first step in resolving any measurement problem is to
determine whether the trouble lies in the sensor or the
transmitter. Since measurement problems can often be
traced to surface deposits coating the electrodes, cleaning
the sensor using the method outlined in Section 3.1 should
always be the first step in any troubleshooting.
If the sensor cannot be calibrated after cleaning, perform the
following test. A multimeter will be needed.
1.
Disconnect the sensor from the transmitter or junction
box.
2.
Using a multimeter, verify continuity between
electrodes indicated below and the corresponding
wire colors in the cable (red, blue, green and white,
only).
3.
Verify that the sensor’s temperature element (Pt1000
RTD) is functioning properly by measuring the
resistance between the sensor’s yellow and black
wires. The nominal resistance value at 25 ºC is 1097
ohms. Use the following table as a guide to the
approximate resistance value:
