Product Details
The Foxboro 873CC-BIYFGZ, also cataloged as the 873CC Conductivity Analyzer, operates as a dedicated hardware component for contacting conductivity and resistivity measurement within Foxboro I/A Series analytical measurement loops. It provides direct physical execution of dual-channel sensor processing, liquid ionic concentration evaluation, and 4-20 mA analog transmission. The unit conditions high-resolution inputs to drive real-time display readouts and discrete alarm relays.

DCS Process Loops and Cold Junction / Temperature Compensation
The Foxboro 873CC-BIYFGZ conditions raw analog inputs across dual contacting sensor channels, enforcing channel-to-channel isolation to eliminate ground loop noise. Integrated temperature compensation algorithms scale resistance values dynamically across 0.00 uS/cm to 20.00 mS/cm ranges. The analyzer provides 4-20 mA HART loop protocol compatibility alongside optional RS-485 Modbus serial interfaces, delivering isolated measurement telemetry directly to Foxboro Fieldbus Modules (FBM) and central control processors.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How are temperature sensors wired to the 873CC-BIYFGZ for automatic compensation?
A: Integrated RTD temperature elements connect directly to dedicated compensation terminals on the rear barrier block, enabling real-time curve adjustments to normalized reference values.
Q: Can the 4-20 mA output signals be scaled independently for each measurement channel?
A: Yes, the internal firmware allows independent configuration of the 4-20 mA analog outputs to span specific conductivity ranges or resistivity thresholds per channel.
Field Installation Guidelines
- Prepare a standard 1/2 DIN cutout when panel mounting, ensuring the front bezel gasket sits flush against the panel face.
- Terminate dual-channel contacting sensor wiring into labeled screw terminal blocks, keeping signal cables separated from AC power conductors.
- Verify that the NEMA 4X enclosure conduit entries are sealed with rated NPT fitting plugs to prevent moisture intrusion in field applications.
- Connect the main protective earth terminal to the cabinet ground stud before energizing the 100-240 VAC power source.
