Product overview
The conductivity certification system is a portable test bed for rapidly and accurately calibrating and
verifying in-line conductivity measurement loops through direct use of the process sample and
comparison with our reference system.
It is particularly appropriate for pure and ultra pure water applications with weak conducting solutions
for which there is no reliable calibration solution. Indeed, any solution whose conductivity is inferior to
100 μs/cm is not stable in contact with air, as the dissolution of the CO
2
from ambient air leads to an
increase in the order of 1 to 2 μS/cm. It is therefore impossible to calibrate a conductivity loop
dedicated to pure water measurements of <10 μS/cm using a calibration solution of known similar
conductivity (KCl solution).
Any deviation observed between the value displayed by the system and that displayed by the
conductivity loop under validation/calibration can be due to several factors including:
Fouling of the conductivity sensor under test due to the accumulation of insulating layers on the
electrode surface leading to a change of the cell constant
Sampling issues such as poor sensor installation, insufficient immersion, air bubbles, etc.
Incorrect controller resistivity/conductivity and/or temperature input calibration

The unit is made up of a conductivity controller (1) and a flow chamber containing a high precision
conductivity sensor, all contained in a high resistant ABS casing. A hood (3) protects the display
panel whose backlit surface provides optimum visibility. A drawer (7) is used for storing accessories
and documentation. The unit should be placed on a flat surface, preferably in a clean and dry
environment.
Accuracy and benefits
The system is a certified standard guaranteeing a high degree of measurement accuracy conforming
to all the required standards used in pure water conductivity measurements (ASTM D 1125, D
5391 and USP).
Accurate electrical calibration
The measurement of conductivity requires the use of a high frequency current to minimize electrolytic
reactions at the surface of the electrodes. In addition, the use of a long cables for measurements can
generate a capacitance causing errors when measuring the value of a resistance.
The Polymetron 9526 avoids this problem by performing an electrical calibration at the end of the
product's conductivity sensor cable using a certified electrical resistance (precision ± 0.1%).
Accurate temperature measurement
Accurate temperature measurement is essential in ultra pure water as the variation in conductivity is
very high (ratio of around 5.2%/°C). The Polymetron 9526 uses a class "A" temperature sensor
mounted at the end of the internal electrode. Ambient temperature has no effect as the sensor and
internal flow chamber are thermally insulated.
To eliminate any electrical resistance, an electrical calibration at the end of the cable using precision
resistors has been performed in our factory . A calibration is then performed with a certified
8
English
thermometer on the whole loop at a temperature of approximately 20 °C. The temperature
measurement is therefore fully calibrated.
The product also uses an accurate temperature compensation algorithm taking account of the pure
water dissociation and of any components such as NaCl or HCl. By default, the NaCl curve is
activated into the system as it is representative of the majority of impurities present in pure water.
Finally, in order to comply with the USP standard, it is possible to easily deactivate any temperature
compensation curve during operation. Conductivity and resistivity measurements are then no longer
referenced to a given temperature (25 °C in general).
Accurate determination of the cell constant
The conductivity of pure water should be accurately identified. As there are no reliable low
conductivity calibration solutions, the measurement of pure water conductivity must be performed by
comparison with a reference system in compliance with the prevailing standards.
The conductivity sensor integrated in the Polymetron 9526 has a cell constant K that has been
accurately (± 2%) defined in our factory, with water having a conductivity < 10 μS/cm, and by
comparison with a reference conductivity sensor whose constant complies with the ASTM D
1125 standard (with NIST traceability by using a certified precision thermometer).
The 9526 is therefore a reliable standard allowing the certification of other in-line sensors, when the
sample taken is representative of the process (flow rate, composition and temperature).
Optimized design
When starting the sampling, the sample tube, which is initially empty, may have some bubbles in it.
The same applies to the fluid that expands or heats up in the measurement cell. Air bubbles on the
electrode will reduce the active surface, leading to a non-representative low conductivity value (high
resistivity).
The 9526 flow chamber contains no protrusions or dead zones and has been designed to avoid air
bubble retention. Its conductivity sensor, used only for measurements in ultra pure water, has
electro-polished electrodes that also prevent the retention of air bubbles. A minimum flow rate of
20 L/h (ideally 60 L/h) is required in order to facilitate the extraction of air bubbles but also to obtain a
temperature that is identical to that of the process sample. It is important that the sampling system
does not pollute the sample being analyzed (no contamination with ambient air or impurities).
After being carefully calibrated in our facility, the 9526 is operated for 30 minutes in ultra pure water
(grade 1 and ISO 3696/BS3978) before being protected by plugs to avoid any contamination of the
conductivity cell. Sample connections are designed to meet the requirements of pure and ultra pure
water sampling.
Calibration guidelines
As stated in the ISO 100012-1 Standard, a time period should be defined between each system
calibration. Hach Lange can perform this operation in our facility to guarantee traceability to national
certified standards.
N O T I C E
In order to meet technical specifications as closely as possible, Hach Lange recommends calibrating the
9526 once a year in our facility to guarantee the validity of the certification for one year, if and only if, important
components of the unit have not been modified or accessed in any way. A system of seals is placed on each
component of the unit to validate this.

N O T I C E
Sockets No. 4, 5 and 6 in Figure 1 on page 8 are all IP 67 therefore it is essential the connectors are tightened
firmly before using the instrument. In addition, it is also important to replace the protection caps on the sockets
after use.
The sample to be tested enters the instrument through the port labelled "IN" (No. 11 in Figure 1
on page 8). Its resistivity is measured by the conductivity sensor located inside the instrument. The
sample is then evacuated through the port labelled "OUT" (No. 12 in Figure 1 on page 8).
Note: For improved system operation, the sample supply and drain should ideally be located above the "IN" and
"OUT" ports.
Sample IN connection
1. Push the retaining collar on the "IN" port using the key provided.
2. Remove the plug while keeping pressure on the collar.
3. Make a clean cut (90°) at one end of an 8 mm semi-rigid tube (or 6 mm if you are using the D8 to
D6 reduction sleeve). Use a PTFE tube for temperatures above 70 °C.
4. Insert the tube into the "IN" port.
5. Connect the other end of the tube to the sample supply.
Sample OUT connection
1. Push the retaining collar on the "OUT" port using the key provided.
2. Remove the plug while keeping pressure on the collar.
3. Make a clean cut (90°) at one end of an 8 mm semi-rigid tube (or 6 mm if you are using the D8 to
D6 reduction sleeve). Use a PTFE tube for temperatures above 70 °C.
4. Insert the tube into the "OUT" port.
5. Connect the other end of the tube to the drain for an in-line installation or the flow chamber
containing the sensor being tested for an off-line installation.
Installation in-line
If the system is in operation the instrument must be connected to the sample using a shut-off valve to
extract the sample. This requires a total distance D1 + D2 (see Figure 2) of less than 2 meters and a
flow rate exceeding 20 L/hour (ideally 60 L/hour).
After opening the sample valve, wait at least 30 minutes to ensure all parts in contact with the sample
have been well rinsed and that the optimal thermal equilibrium between the sample, flow chamber
and conductivity sensor has been reached.

12 English
Disassemble the connector by unscrewing the two ends of the connector (Nos. 1 and 6 in Figure 4)
from the main body. Pass the power cable through the connector components numbers 6 through to
2. Then connect the power cable to the female contact (No. 1 in Figure 4).
Reassemble the connector and power the instrument according to the specifications on the product
label (No. 9 in Figure 1 on page 8). Connect the power cable connector to the instrument power
supply socket (No. 6 in Figure 1 on page 8) after first unscrewing the socket protection cap.
Analog outputs
The analog output is used to record the measurements provided by the instrument (conductivity or
temperature). It is recommended to use a standard cable (reference 08319=A=0005) that can be
purchased through your local Hach Lange representative. This cable should be wired as follows:
White: pin 1+
Red: pin 1-
Blue: pin 2+
Black: pin 2-
Orange: do not use
Connect to the 4-20 mA outputs socket (No. 4 in Figure 1 on page 8) after first unscrewing the socket
protection cap.
Electrical conductivity calibration connection
Electrical calibration is used to eliminate any electronic error of the system being tested, in
accordance with standard ASTM D 5391. The conductivity calibration socket connector (No. 5 in
Figure 1 on page 8) is connected to a certified precision resistor (200 kΩ) in order to simulate the
resistivity of ultra pure water.
Only systems using the Polymetron sensor models 8310, 8314 and 8315 have a cable and connector
able to achieve this type of calibration. In this case, simply disconnect the cable from the sensor and
connect it to the instrument conductivity calibration socket after first unscrewing the socket protection
cap. Then follow the instructions in the user manual of the system being tested to perform an
electronic calibration with a value of 200 kΩ.

Calibration
About sensor calibration
There are no calibration options available from the menus of the 9526 instrument. All calibrations are
performed from the controller of the sensor under test. For detailed information on these calibration
procedures refer to the associated manuals delivered with the sensor and controller under test.
N O T I C E
After turning on the 9526 instrument and initiating sample circulation, wait for at least 30 minutes in order to allow
correct rinsing of the whole system. This also enables the temperature equilibration between the sample, the flow
chamber and the sensor.
After 30 minutes of sample circulation, compare the measurement value displayed on the controller
under test against the measurement value displayed on the 9526 instrument. If these values are
outside ± 5% of each other than a calibration is required. If these values are within ± 5% of each
other than a calibration is not necessary but can still be performed.
Before calibrating the sensor under test, make sure to perform a temperature calibration first.
Calibration process
All calibrations are made using the controller and sensor under test. Follow the instructions in the
associated controller and sensor user manuals.
The process can be different according to the Polymetron controller under test. Perform the
calibration process in the following sequence.
1. Temperature calibration
The following equipment is required for a temperature calibration:
Pt100 simulator (< 0.1 °C) for a 2-point electrical calibration
Certified precision thermometer (< 0.1 °C) if connected in-line
None if mounted off-line as the 9526 is used as the reference

Multiple hazards. Only qualified personnel must conduct the tasks described in this section of the document.
Cleaning the controller
D A N G E R
Always remove power from the controller before performing maintenance activities.
Note: Never use flammable or corrosive solvents to clean any part of the controller. Use of these solvents may
degrade the environmental protection of the unit and may void the warranty.
1. Make sure the controller cover is securely closed.
2. Wipe the controller exterior with a cloth dampened with water, or with a mixture of water and mild
detergent.
Clean the sensor
W A R N I N G
Chemical hazard. Always wear personal safety protection in accordance with the Material Safety Data Sheet for
the chemical that is used.
W A R N I N G
Personal injury hazard. Removal of a sensor from a pressurized vessel can be dangerous. Reduce the process
pressure to below 10 psi before removal. If this is not possible, use extreme caution. Refer to the documentation
supplied with the mounting hardware for more information.
Pre-requisite: Prepare a mild soap solution with a non-abrasive dishwashing detergent that does not
contain lanolin. Lanolin leaves a film on the electrode surface that can degrade the sensor
performance.
Examine the sensor periodically for debris and deposits. Clean the sensor when there is a buildup of
deposits or when performance has degraded.

English
1. Use a clean, soft cloth to remove loose debris from the end of the sensor. Rinse the sensor with
clean, warm water.
2. Soak the sensor for 2 to 3 minutes in a soap solution.
3. Use a soft bristle brush to scrub the entire measuring end of the sensor.
4. If debris remains, soak the measuring end of the sensor in a dilute acid solution such as < 5%
HCl for a maximum of 5 minutes.
5. Rinse the sensor with water and then return to the soap solution for 2 to 3 minutes.
6. Rinse the sensor with clean water.
Always calibrate the sensor after maintenance procedures.
