Note!
The Micro-Polar Brix is a system for concentration measurement
using microwave technology. The microwave probe is immersed
into the product being measured. The emitted microwaves have a
very low power (< 0.1 mW) and are, therefore, not at all hazard-
ous to human beings or the environment. Also, the product is not
altered at all.
Danger!
The Micro-Polar Brix has been manufactured in compliance with
the safety requirements for microwave devices. If special legal
provisions exist regarding the use of microwaves, it will be the
responsibility of the user to adhere to them.
Any change in frequency or any other manipulation on the micro-
wave device will result in a loss of the frequency license and will
be prosecuted.

Chapter 2. General Information
2.1 Intended Use
The measuring system LB 565 can be used to determine the con-
centration of nearly all materials which can be dissolved or sus-
pended in water using microwave technology. Pan probes with and
without rinsing device are available.
The pan probes have been designed for installation in pipelines
with a nominal width of ≥ 200 mm and in containers, for example,
evaporation crystallizers. The probe is installed so that both meas-
uring rods (sender and receiver) are immersed into the product
being measured.
During operation, the concentration meter Micro-Polar Brix sends
out electromagnetic radiation in a frequency range between 2.4
GHz and 2.5 GHz (range restrictions depend on local regulations in
your Country). The microwaves emerge only between both meas-
uring rods of the probe, and are not dangerous to human beings
and the environment (power emission < 0.1 mW). The microwaves
are emitted targeted from the microwave window; the product is
not altered by the microwaves.
To ensure proper function of the meter, please pay attention to the
following:
Note!
The material being measured must not be electrically conduc-
tive, i.e. the ohmic resistance is infinite.
The product must not contain any gas bubbles, or gas bubbles
have to be compressed with adequate pressure when carrying
out measurements in pipelines.
The ion concentration, e.g. salt content, has to be near con-
stant.

Chapter 3. System Description
3.1 Principle of Measurement
The microwaves that spread between the rods transmit the prod-
uct being measured; their propagation speed is slowed down (=
phase shift) and their intensity is damped (= attenuation). Figure
1 illustrates the principle of measurement: The propagation speed
of microwaves passing through the product being measured is
slowed down (phase shift) and their intensity (attenuation) is re-
duced, relative to a reference signal.
Prerequisite is that the product being measured shows some di-
electric properties. In sugar strike, it is the water which presents a
very distinct dielectric fluid. The water or dry mass concentration
can therefore be determined by measuring the phase shift and/or
attenuation.
The concentration to be detected in the product depends in good
approximation linear on phase shift and attenuation. For this rea-
son we can measure the concentration or the dry mass content of
the sugar solution using a linear calibration (see chapter 3.2
Calculation of Measured Values).

The formula is simplified accordingly for a pure phase or attenua-
tion measurement.
In case of varying measurement parameters (product density,
temperature, etc.), the microwave phase shift method yields a
much better accuracy compared to the microwave attenuation
method. The phase measurement is significantly less affected by
material parameters such as temperature or salt contents (electro-
lytic conductivity), bubbles and grain size than an attenuation
measurement.
Note!
In most cases we recommend using a pure phase measurement
to determine the concentration of sugar strike. It is calculated in
good approximation through linear calibration:

Micro-Polar Brix allows you to calibrate, display and output two
concentrations K1 and K2. You have to enter the calibration coeffi-
cients separately for concentration 1 and 2. For more information

3.3 Temperature Compensation
Temperature compensation (TC) has to be carried out if varying op-
erating states are likely to occur, for example vapour pressure and
product temperature. TC has to be carried out whenever you are
working with cooling crystallizers. The following formulas are used
for temperature compensation.

Depending on the selected function (additive, multiplicative, quad-
ratic, cubic), the required temperature coefficients appear on the
Calibration menu. Temperature coefficients that are not used are
set to zero.

If you select two-range calibration (split concentration), separate
TC’s have to be entered for both concentration ranges. The coeffi-
cients are entered in the course of calibration.
TC can be carried out via Pt100 or via current input. This has to be
defined on the Calibration menu. The Pt100 temperature range is
between –50 °C and +200 °C.
How to work with the temperature compensation is described in
detail in the Software Manual.
Note!
In the most cases, linear multiplicative temperature compensation
in good approximation is the correct mode of calculation, e.g. for
cooling crystallizers.

3.4.2 The Microwave Probes
The pan probe is available in two different versions: with and with-
out rinsing device (see Figure 8). For technical data please refer to
chapter 8. Technical Data.

Pan Probe Type LB 5650 and Type LB 5651
The pan probe has been specially designed for concentration
measurements in containers. Both measuring rods are immersed
into the product. The microwaves are emitted from one end of the
rod and received at the other end of the rod; they are emitted only
in the direction of the opposite end of the rod. This direction char-
acteristic of the probe minimizes the interfering influence of metal
parts in the vicinity of the probe and allows installation if only little
space is available. For example, the concentration of sugar strike
can be measured continuously to find the suitable inoculation time.
The plastic rods meet the special requirements for application in
food.
Two different probe types are available:
the "batch pan probe" is used for discontinuous crystallization
processes

the "continuous pan probe" with rinsing device is used for con-
tinuous crystallization processes; this type of probe prevents
crystallization on the microwave exit windows and therefore
provides exact measurement results.
The flow direction of the product being measured should be verti-
cal, as shown in Figure 9. This ensures a representative product
between the measuring rods, provided it is mixed thoroughly.
Figure 9:
Batch pan probe LB 5650
PT-100 Only the batch pan probe is provided with a PT-100 and is con-
nected to the evaluation unit via a 4-wire cable. The wiring dia-
gram for the PT-100 is described in chapter 4.3.2 Pin Configura-
tion of the Connector Strip. Usually, no temperature compensa-
tion is required for measurements with the continuous pan
probe; therefore, the continuous pan probe is not equipped with
a PT 100.
Chapter 3 System Description
Micro-Polar Brix LB 565

Pan Probe Type LB 5651 with Rinsing Device
The probe LB 5651 with rinsing device has been designed for
measurements in continuous crystallization processes. The con-
tinuous pan probe can be used, for example, for sugar manufac-
turing, in the afterproduct, raw sugar and white sugar.
The continuous pan probe has two rinsing channels which keep the
plastic rods free from incrustations; this ensures that the micro-
waves come into direct contact with the product being measured.
All parts coming into contact with the product meet the specific
requirements for application in foodstuffs. Figure 10 shows the
design of the probe.

3.4.3 High-frequency Cable
High-frequency cables (HF cable) are used to transmit microwaves
between probe and evaluation electronics. The measuring system
includes a HF quad cable, see Figure 11. The quad cable comprises
four individual HF cables of equal length whose ends are termi-
nated by an HF connector (N-type).
However, these high-quality special cables are rugged and tem-
perature-resistant only to a certain degree.
Warning!
Never bend HF cables! The bending radius should not be less than
100 mm. After installation, fix cables with cable binders.
HF cables change the conductivity (of microwaves) depending on
the temperature. Therefore, they would create measurement er-
rors if the ambient temperature varies. This error is compensated
for by enabling the cable compensation. The influences of the am-
bient temperature on the signal cable are compensated for by
means of the reference cable. The reference cable has the same
length as the signal cable; during operation, it should be exposed
to the same ambient temperature. We, therefore, recommend in-
stalling both cable types together in a corrugated tube; this also
simplifies installation.

Quad cable

3.5 Measurement Configuration
The evaluation unit is connected to the microwave probe via HF
quad cable. Cable lengths of up to 10 m allow you to place the
evaluation unit in a sufficient distance to the evaporation appara-
tus to rule out any influence by the radiation heat.
The pan probe is connected using a HF quad cable, with two indi-
vidual cables making up the signal and the reference channel.
Our example below (Figure 12) shows the measurement configura-
tion on a discontinuous evaporation crystallizer.

4.1 Transport to the Installation Site
Warning!
Risk of damage!
System parts may get damaged during transportation!
Transport probe and the evaluation unit in their original packag-
ing. Protect parts against shocks.
Especially the plastic rods of the pan probes have to be protected
against mechanical impact!
After unpacking, make sure all parts listed on the packing list have
been delivered and show no sign of damage; if necessary, clean
these parts.
If you detect any damage, please notify the forwarder and the
manufacturer immediately.
4.2 Installation
4.2.1 Pan Probe Installation
Figure 12 shows the position of the batch pan probe on the con-
tainer. This position is equally valid for the continuous pan probe.
The installation sheet in chapter 8 includes all information required
for installation.
For installation, please keep in mind:
Select the installation site such that good mixing and a homo-
geneous product is ensured and the formation of bubbles on
the probe is prevented. A tap should be provided in the direct
vicinity to allow representative sampling.
Chapter 4 Getting Started
Micro-Polar Brix LB 565
28
The probe has to be flange-mounted on the container such that
the product being measured flows between both measuring
rods. In other words, the fork (both measuring rods) has to be
arranged vertically to the material flow (e.g. sugar strike).
The distance between the measuring rod tips and any metal-
lized walls (heating element, stirrer, container wall) should be
at least a = 60 mm.
For installation of the probe you need a hole diameter in the
connection flange of at least ∅
∅∅
∅ 102 mm.
For further installation dimensions please refer to chapter 8
(see installation sheets).
Rinse Parameters (only with continuous pan probe)
The sugar quality or purity is essential for the rinse parameters,
i.e. rinse frequency and duration. The rinse parameters may
change with the purity of the solution and have to be adapted, in
individual cases, to the product and the crystallization process.
The following typical rinse parameters are used:
Frequency Every 2 hours
Duration 12 seconds
Rinse solution Water, condensate
Temperature of
rinse solution
Average product temperature,
typically 65 ±5°C
Pressure ≥ 3 bar, max. 8 bar
Connections 2 x 3/8 inch (female screw thread)
Supply pipe ≥ 1/2 inch
The rinse connections can be rinsed at the same time or one after
the other. The above rinse parameters have to be observed for
each connection.
Note!
The required rinse duration has to take into account a possible
inertness of the system, e.g. valve openings. The rinse supply
pipes have to be insulated well against heat, in order to prevent
an initially colder rinse solution.
Rinse parameters

Micro-Polar Brix LB 565 29
4.2.2 Setting up the Evaluation Unit
For installation of the evaluation unit please keep in mind:
Position the evaluation unit depending on the length of the HF
cable in the vicinity of the microwave probe. The HF cable is
available in a length of 2, 6 and 10 m; the standard cable
length is 2 m.
The instrument has to be protected against vibrations.
For instrument installation you should foresee a cutoff device to
allow you to disconnect the meter easily and quickly from the
power supply.
When installing the evaluation unit on an evaporation crystal-
lizer, you should use a distance rail to minimize the thermal
radiation and conduction. See Figure 13

4.3 Connecting the Evaluation Unit
4.3.1 Connecting the HF Cable
You need a HF quad cable to connect the pan probe to the evalua-
tion unit.
Note!
Correct cable installation:
Make sure the cable does not get into contact with hot pipes over
the entire length (corrugated tube and single cable section after
splitting), e.g. direct contact with the device wall (not insulated).
This alone guarantees that all single cables are subject to the
same ambient conditions and that the compensation of the cable
drift works properly.

The HF cables and the HF connections on the evaluation unit and
on the probe are labeled. Connect the probe to the evaluation unit
as shown in Figure 14.
Chapter 4 Getting Started
Micro-Polar Brix LB 565 31
Note!
When tightening the 21 mm screw nut, make sure that the con-
nector is not twisted on the cable. If the connector is twisted rela-
tive to the cable, the shielding may get damaged and this could
result in mismatching and bad sealing.
Hand tighten all screwed connections of the HF cable (2 Nm = 0.2
kg/m)! Before tightening, carefully screw on the cable by hand.
Caution! Threaded joint jams easily.
Occasionally you should check if the screwed connection is still
properly tightened. If the installation is exposed to vibrations, the
screwed connection may come loose and this may result in inaccu-
rate measurements or corrosion of the connections.
As long as the cables are not connected, the coaxial sockets have
to be covered immediately with plastic caps and the cable connec-
tors have to be protected by suitable provisions against moisture
and dirt.
Note!
Never bend HF cables! The bending radius should not be less than
100 mm. After installation, fix cables with cable binders or other
suitable means, so that the cable cannot slip any more!

4.3.2 Pin Configuration of the Connector Strip
Danger!
Electrical hazards:
Turn off power supply to ensure that contact with voltage-carrying
parts is avoided during installation and when servicing.
Turn off power supply before opening the instrument. Work on
open and live instruments is prohibited.
Temperature Signal Connection
A PT100 or a temperature current signal has to be connected to
current input 1 or 2 if significant temperature fluctuations occur in
the product and if a temperature dependence of the phase or at-
tenuation measurement is likely to occur. The temperature sensor
has to measure the material temperature in the vicinity of the mi-
crowave probe.
When taking the batch pan probe into operation, connect the 4-

4.3.3 Digital Outputs, Relays
The status of the measurement is output via two relays:
Error
Alarm (alarm min. and max.)
No product
Under menu item Plausibility, you may enter a min. attenuation
for pause detection (e.g. for discontinuous evaporation crystal-
lizer); if this value is not reached, „no product“ is signalled via
a relay and the current output drops to 0 or 4 mA.
Measurement stopped
The respective switching status is also signaled via LED’s on the
front panel (LED’s: signal 1 and 2).
Relay no. Error, alarm, no product,
measurement stopped,
current-free status
Normal

2
The relays with changeover contacts can either be operated as
make contact, terminals 4 & 5 (open at error, alarm ...) or as
break contact, terminals 5 & 6 (closed at error, alarm ...).

Chapter 5. Service Instructions
5.1 General Information
The evaluation unit has no wearing parts or components requiring
any special maintenance.
A malfunction of the measuring system is not always due to a de-
fect in the instrument. Often the error is caused by incorrect op-
eration, wrong installation, or irregularities in the product being
measured.
If a malfunction occurs, anyway, the measuring system helps you
to identify and eliminate errors by displaying error messages on
the LCD, indicating operator errors and defects of the electronics.
Moreover, the modular design of the measuring system simplifies
the replacement of individual module components.
Usually, faulty modules of the evaluation unit cannot be repaired
but have to be replaced. The microwave module is fixed with
screws to a shielding cover and must not be opened.
5.2 Instrument Cleaning
Clean all system components using only a moistened cloth without
chemical cleaning agent. Parts coming into contact with the prod-
uct (during regular operation) can be cleaned with hot water, tak-
ing into account the temperature limits (see chapter 6.2).
5.3 Batteries
If the measuring system LB 565 is without power supply (power
failure or disconnected from mains), the system clock is supplied
with power via the Lithium battery on the CPU. The instrument
works correctly even with empty battery, only measured data
which are output via one of the serial interfaces may become use-
less as a result of the faulty date and time information.
The service life of the battery, even under continuous load, is at
least 8 years. To replace the battery, you have to disconnect the
instrument from mains. Battery data see chapter 8.2 Electrical
Wiring Diagram.
Battery type: 3 Volt Lithium cell (button cell), type CR2032.

5.4 Fuse Replacement
The mains fuse of the LB 565 is located in the wall housing. Re-
place the fuse only if the instrument is disconnected from mains.
Be sure that the new fuse matches the rating specified.
Use only fuse with correct rating:
Instrument version with 90 V ... 260 V AC: 2.0 A slow-blow
Instrument version with 24 V AC/DC: 2.0 A slow-blow
Warning!
Spare fuses must match the rating specified by the device manu-
facturer. Short-circuiting or manipulation is not permitted.

You have to check the settings on this display and adapt
them to the measurement conditions.
For example, you have to adapt the measurement mode, the
start mode and the averaging to the actual operating condi-
tions. With continuous measurements, the averaged values
do not have to be reset. You can set a marker comprising
max. 5 characters which identify the value set on in the live
display.
Set the units as desired.

The temperature input can be set to °C, °F or none.
3.1.3 Plausibility
To rule out any unnecessary disturbances during calibration,
the process limits should be set, as far as possible, below or
above the measuring range.
You should keep the factory-set default values for the phase
measurement and disable Pause detection. If a default value
has to be changed, you have to check all entries that are re-
levant for the calibration and, if necessary, renew them.
Upon completion of the calibration work, you can enable Pau-
se detection again.
3.1.4 Microwave
CABLES
If the factory-set cable lengths does not match the actual
geometry conditions, you have to correct the values.
Example: For a 2 m long HF quad cable, enter 4 m for the
reference and signal cable length. The input value corre-
sponds to twice the quad cable length.
