APPENDIX A - SPECIFICATIONS 

 

MEASUREMENT RANGE 
pH:  

0.00 to 14.00, fully expandable 

and reversible, standard. -2.00 to 
14.00 pH, optional. 

 

ORP: 

+1000 to -1000 mV, fully 

expandable and reversible, 
standard. 

 
OUTPUT 

4-20 mA or 20-4 mA, linear 

and expandable. Up to a maximum 
of 3 outputs. 

 
POWER REQUIREMENTS               

(with zero loop impedance) 

Recommended  

24 vdc 

Maximum  

 

50 vdc 

Minimum  

 

13.5 vdc 

 

MAXIMUM LOOP IMPEDANCE            

(@ 24 vdc) 

525 ohms for 4-20 mA compliance on 
primary (channel 1) output; 

approximately 800 ohms on secondary 
outputs 

 
OPERATING TEMPERATURE 

-4°F to +158°F (-20°C to +70°C) 

 
DISPLAY 

Menu driven, 32 character alpha-numeric, 
Supertwist LCD. The main menu 

simultaneously displays (1) process 
identity (2) process value (and 
engineering units), (3) percent output, (4) 
temperature in °C or °F. 

 
ENCLOSURE 

NEMA 4X, weatherproof 

 

SHIPPING WEIGHT 

Standard LXT-230: 2 lbs (0.91 kgs) 

 
ACCURACY 

± 0.10% of full scale 

 
LINEARITY 

± 0.05% of full scale 

 

SENSITIVITY 

± 1.0 mV 

 
STABILITY 

± 0.2% per year @ 0°C to 70°C 

 

RESPONSE TIME 

1 second to reach 90% of the change. 

 
REPEATABILITY 

± 1.0 mV 

 
TEMPERATURE COMPENSATION 
pH:  

Automatic, -30°C to +140°C, RTD. 

Accuracy within ±0.1°C over a 0°C 
- 100°C span. 

Specific pH compensation temperature 

correction) is available. Consult the 
factory. 

ORP: 

Not used for compensation; 

however, temperature is displayed. 
Accuracy within ±0.1°C over a 
0°C-100°C span. 

 
50/60 Hz NOISE REJECTION 

Greater than 70 db 

 

INPUT/OUTPUT ISOLATION 

Maximum 300 volts between process input 

and any 4-20 mA output (single 
and multiple channel outputs). No 
isolation between inputs on 

multiple channel units. 

 
CALIBRATION 

Auto Buffer Calibration 

Allows the definition of two buffer points, 

saved in memory, during the initial 
start-up. This will allow subsequent 
standardize and span buffer 

calibrations with only 2 keystrokes. 

 
Back-to-Factory Calibration (Factory 

Restart) 

With 2 keystrokes, allows the technician 

to return the transmitter to a zero 
electrode offset (asymmetry 
potential) and to an ideal Nernstian 
slope (1.000 mV per ORP unit).
