Description

The 

conductivity electrodes LRG 16-40, LRG 16-41, LRG 17-40

 consist of a TDS (= Total Dissolved 

Solids) monitoring electrode for conductivity measurement, a temperature sensor for detecting the fluid 

temperature and a conductivity transmitter that is fully integrated in the terminal box.
The conductivity electrodes LRG 16-40, LRG 17-40 work according to the conductometric measurement 

principle and use 

two

 electrodes. The conductivity electrode LRG 16-41 also uses the conductometric 

measurement principle but works with 

four

 electrodes. All three electrode types monitor the electrical 

conductivity of electrically conductive fluids.
Together with the TDS controller LRR 1-40 and an operating device type URB or SPECTOR

control

 the con -

ductivity electrode LRG can be used as conductivity limiter and continuous blowdown controller in steam  

boilers and (pressurized) hot water plants or as conductivity meter in condensate and feedwater systems.
The conductivity electrodes LRG 16-40, LRG 17-40 are particularly well suited for steam boilers with 

low TDS content, e.g. in steam regenerators, high-pressure boilers or condensate vessels.
The conductivity electrode LRG 16-41 is designed for industrial boiler plants up to PN 40 and max. 

admissible conductivities of 8000/6000 μs/cm according to TRD/EN.
The data exchange between the conductivity electrode LRG, the control and operating equipment and 

other devices is effected by the CAN-Bus to ISO 11898, using the CANopen protocols.

Function

LRG 16-40, LRG 17-40 

A measuring current of variable frequency flows through the fluid and creates a potential gradient 

between the measuring electrode and the measuring tube. The potential gradient is evaluated as 

measuring voltage U

U

.

LRG 16-41 

The conductivity electrode consists of two current and two voltage electrodes. The current electrodes  

send the measuring current U

I

 with a fixed frequency into the fluid, thereby creating a potential 

 gradiant between these electrodes. This potential gradiant is then detected by the voltage electrodes 

and evaluated as measuring voltage U

U
