Quick start guide

si792 C 2-wire conductivity transmitter 

DOC016.53.00795

4–20 mA signal values

Default settings: 

• 0 mS at 4 mA
• 100 mS at 20 mA

1. 

Press 

CONF

, enter 

1200

 for the “out. 1MNU” menu.

2. 

Press 

ENTER

 to go to the "o1.4mA" or "o1.20mA" sub-menu. 

3. 

Set the values for 4 mA and 20 mA. 

4. 

Press 

CONF

, then 

ENTER

 to exit the configuration mode.

Enter the cell constant

1. 

Press 

CAL

 and enter passcode: 1100, 

ENTER

. CAL CELL will be displayed for 3 seconds.

2. 

Use the 

UP ARROW

 and 

RIGHT ARROW

 to enter the value of the cell constant of the con-

nected sensor. The conductivity value will be displayed also.

Note: 

For Hach or GLI contacting conductivity sensors, the cell constant is usually printed on a 

tag with the sensor wiring.

Note: 

If the entry of the cell constant takes longer than 6 seconds, the display will alternate 

between showing the conductivity and the temperature value.

3. 

Press 

ENTER

 to save the value.

4. 

The transmitter displays the cell constant value and CELL. Press 

ENTER

.

5. 

The transmitter remains in HoLD mode. Press 

ENTER

 again.

The transmitter remains in HoLD mode for approximately 20 seconds after calibration and 
returns to the measure mode.

Note: 

Repeat entry of the cell constant when “Err” is displayed.

Calibration

The sensor can be calibrated with a calibration solution or by comparison.

Calibration with a calibration solution

Use a calibration solution with a known conductivity value to adjust the transmitter to show 
the same value as the solution. 

Note: 

Stabilize the temperature during calibration.

1. 

Press 

CAL

, enter passcode: 0110, 

ENTER

. CAL SOL will be displayed for 3 seconds. The 

transmitter is ready for calibration.

2. 

Remove and clean the sensor.

3. 

Immerse the sensor in the calibration solution. 

4. 

Use the 

UP ARROW

 and 

RIGHT ARROW

 to enter the known value of the calibration solu-

tion.

Note: 

If the entry of the calibration solution value takes longer than 6 seconds, the display will 

alternate between showing the cell constant and the temperature value.

5. 

Press 

ENTER

 to save the value.

6. 

The display will show the new cell constant. Press 

ENTER

.

7. 

The transmitter remains in HoLD mode. Press 

ENTER

 again.

The transmitter remains in HoLD mode for approximately 20 seconds after calibration and 
returns to the measurement mode.

Note: 

Repeat the calibration when “Err” is displayed.

DANGER
Explosion hazard. This Quick Start Guide is intended for setup of the si792 
transmitter in a non-hazardous location. It is not a substitute for the instructions in 
the user manual (DOC026.53.00795). Installation in a hazardous location must follow 
the applicable control drawing or ATEX certificate (refer to the documentation CD).

DANGER: Electric shock hazard. Disconnect power to all wiring before making 
connection to the si792 C series transmitters.

Connect 24 VDC power and communications

Remove the power source before making any electrical connections to the si792 transmitter.

Connect the sensor

For sensors other than the Hach 3400 series or 831x, refer to the user manual.
