units selected & sensor is open.
The PPM factor must be a value from
0.00 to 3.00
Custom cell constant cannot be set to 0
Pulse Rate cannot be greater than 400
Auxiliary Power not connected
Defective or dirty/coated sensor
Wiring error
Fluid conductivity too low
Defective temp element
Check sensor for correct range.
Check Decimal setting in OPTIONS menu.
Check Calibrate menu settings for incompatible
SOURCE and RANGE values.
Set a PPM value less than 3.
Set cell constant to a value greater than 0
set a pulse rate value less than 400

Parts Per Million (PPM) Factor
This feature is only applicable when PPM display units are selected. The programmable PPM Factor is adjustable from 0.01 to
3.00 (factory default = 2.00). Determine the best PPM Factor for a process solution by calculating the solution's conductivity (
µ
S)
and the percent of total dissolved solids (PPM).
PPM Factor =
Solution conductivity (
µ
S)/cm
Total dissolved solids (PPM)
TDS (PPM) =
Solution conductivity (

S)/cm

Example:
• Solution conductivity = 400

• TDS = 200 PPM (mg/L)

If a Current Loop is locked at 3.6 mA, the problem is related to the temperature circuit:
This occurs only if the CDTX-90 detects a resistance from the temperature sensor that is less than 250
Ω
or greater than 2800
Ω
.
•
Check the sensor wiring for open/short or poor connections on white (TEMP IN) and black (ISO GND)wires.
•
The PT1000 temperature device in the sensor is defective.
•
The transmitter is defective.
Auxiliary Power (terminals 1 and 2) must ALWAYS be connected for the CDTX-90 to operate.
