1 Safety
The following safety instructions contain the necessary information for the safe use of the product.
If you have any questions, please contact Knick Elektronische Messgeräte GmbH & Co. KG using the
information provided on the back page of this document.
1.1 Intended Use
Stratos Multi is an industrial transmitter in 4-wire technology. In the field of liquid analysis, it can
measure pH values, ORP, conductivity (contacting and inductive), and oxygen content both dissolved
and in the gaseous phase.
Alongside a permanently installed measuring channel I for Memosens sensors, the modular
transmitter has a slot that can be equipped with any analog or digital measuring module (measuring
channel II). The transmitter can be extended with device-specific add-on functions called TAN options.
The defined rated operating conditions must be observed when using this product. These conditions
are set out in full in the Specifications chapter of the user manual as well as in parts in the installation
guide for the Stratos Multi.
Using the product improperly or for any purpose other than the product's intended purpose is not
permitted and may result in injury to persons or damage to objects or the environment.

75 °C / 167 °F or higher
Mains Connection
The transmitter does not have a power switch. An appropriately arranged and accessible disconnect-
ing device for the transmitter must be present in the system installation. The disconnecting device
must disconnect all non-grounded, current-carrying wires. The disconnecting device must be labeled
in a way that enables the associated transmitter to be identified. The power line may carry dangerous
touch voltages. Touch protection must be ensured by proper installation.
Inputs and Outputs (SELV, PELV)
All inputs and outputs must be connected to SELV/PELV circuits.
Parameter Setting, Calibration, and Adjustment
Incorrect parameter setting, calibration, and adjustment can result in incorrect outputs.
For this reason, Stratos Multi must be commissioned by a specialist, who will also set the parameters,
calibrate and adjust the transmitter.
Relay Contacts
Make sure that the maximum ratings of the relay contacts are not exceeded even during switching.
Relay contacts are subject to electrical erosion. Especially with inductive and capacitive loads,
the service life of the relay contacts will be reduced.

3.2 Electrical Installation
WARNING! The transmitter does not have a power switch. An appropriately arranged and acces-
sible disconnecting device for the transmitter must be present in the system installation. The discon-
necting device must disconnect all non-grounded, current-carrying wires and be labeled such that the
associated transmitter can be identified.
Before commencing with the installation, make sure that all lines to be connected are de-energized.
CAUTION! Ensure the suitable IP protection. IP66/IP67 can only be achieved with correctly
installed cable glands and screwed housing. Observe the cable diameters and tightening torques.
Only use original accessories and spare parts.
Note: Strip the insulation from the wires using a suitable tool to prevent damage. Only use cables that
are rated for use at 75 °C / 167 °F or higher.
01. Wire the current outputs. Deactivate unused current outputs in the parameter settings or use
jumpers.
02. Wire the relay contacts and inputs if necessary.
03. Connect the power supply (for ratings, see specifications).
04. When measuring with analog sensors: Insert the measuring module into the module slot.
05. Connect the sensor.
06. Check whether all connections are correctly wired.
07. Before switching on the power supply, make sure its voltage is within the specified range.
08. Switch on the power supply.
CAUTION! Incorrect parameter settings, calibration, and adjustments can result in incorrect
outputs. For this reason, Stratos Multi must be commissioned by a specialist, who will also set the
parameters, calibrate and adjust the device.

3.2.1 Relay Contacts: Protective Wiring
Relay contacts are subject to electrical erosion. Especially with inductive and capacitive loads,
the service life of the contacts will be reduced. For suppression of sparks and arcing, components such
as RC combinations, nonlinear resistors, series resistors, and diodes should be used.
NOTICE! Make sure that the maximum ratings of the relay contacts are not exceeded, even during
switching. ➜Power, p. 155
Information Concerning Relay Contacts
As delivered, the relay contacts are suitable for low signal currents (down to approx. 1 mA). If currents
above approx. 100 mA are switched, the gold plating is destroyed during the switching process.
After that, the contacts will not reliably switch low currents.

Output Filter Time Interval
To smooth the current output, a low-pass filter with adjustable time interval can be switched on.
When there is a jump at the input (100 %), the output level is at 63 % after the time interval has been
reached. The time interval can be set from 0 to 120 sec. If the time interval is set to 0 sec, the current
output follows the input.
Note: The filter only acts on the current output, not on the display, the limit values or the controller!
Current During Function Check (HOLD)
Depending on the parameter setting, the current outputs switch to one of the following states:
• Current measurement
• Last measured value (factory setting)
• Fixed value
Message when the Current Range is Exceeded
As delivered, the “Failure” message is generated when the current range is exceeded
(< 3.8 mA or > 20.5 mA). This setting can be changed in the parameter settings for the respective
measuring channel in the Messages menu:

5.6 Sensor Selection [I] [II]
Note: Function check (HOLD) is active.
Stratos Multi is factory-set to a pH value measurement with Memosens sensor. This measuring func-
tion is also provided by the ORP measurement. The measuring function can be changed to measure
conductivity or oxygen in the Parameter Setting menu:
To prepare Stratos Multi for measurements, the operating mode of the used measuring channel must
be set:
Parameter Setting Sensor Selection [I] [II]
Sensor Selection [I] (measuring channel I): Memosens sensor or SE740 optical oxygen sensor (LDO)
Sensor Selection [II] (measuring channel II): Second Memosens sensor or analog sensor via measuring
module
If Memosens sensors are connected directly, the process variable can be set to “Auto”. In this case, the
sensor is automatically detected by the device, which sets itself to the correct process variable. This
does not apply to the MK-MS095N Memosens module.
NOTICE! Parameters that are dependent on process variables (e.g. measurement display, current out-
puts, contacts, ...) are set separately; this step is not automatic.
If “Auto” is not used with a Memosens sensor, and in general when using analog sensors, the operating
mode must be set to the used sensor. The parameters that are dependent on process variables can
then be set when a sensor is not connected.
Power Out
The output voltage of terminal 6 is selected in the Power Out menu item: 3.1 V, 14 V, 24 V. This output
voltage is used to supply power to special sensors or external transmitters. The voltage at terminal 6 is
automatically adjusted when using the SE740 optical oxygen sensor. The menu item is then not avail-
able.
Identifying a Memosens Sensor
A connected Memosens sensor is displayed as follows: sensor name, manufacturer, serial number, date
of last adjustment
All relevant and typical sensor parameters are automatically transferred to the Stratos Multi.

CIP/SIP Counters
Note: CIP/SIP counters are available for the following pH sensor types:
SIP counter: Memosens pH, Memosens pH/ORP; CIP counter: Memosens pH/ORP
CIP/SIP cycles are used to clean or sterilize process-wetted parts in the process. Depending on the ap-
plication, either one chemical (alkaline solution, water) or several chemicals (alkaline solution, water,
acidic solution, water) are used.
• CIP temperature > 55 °C/131 °F
• SIP temperature > 115 °C/239 °F
The cleaning (cleaning in place) and sterilization (sterilization in place) cycles are counted to measure
the load on the sensor, e.g., in biotechnology applications.
Note: If measurements are generally taken at high temperatures (> 55 °C/131 °F), the counters should
be switched off.
When a CIP/SIP counter is switched on, a maximum number of cycles can be entered. As soon as the
counter has reached the specified value, a maintenance required message is triggered and the NAMUR
icon
is displayed.
Note: A CIP or SIP cycle is only entered into the logbook 2 hours after the start to ensure that the cycle
is complete.
Note: With Memosens sensors, an entry is also made in the sensor.

Linear Temperature Compensation of Process Medium
If the medium’s pH value changes in linear fashion with the temperature, the temperature coefficient

Table
When using process media with a known pH value temperature response, the pH output value can be
corrected using a table. The percentage deviation from the measured value in % can be entered for
temperatures between 0 and 95 °C in steps of 5 °C. The pH output value is then corrected by the
corresponding percentage deviation from the measured value in %, depending on the measuring
temperature. Table values are linearly interpolated. If the temperature falls below or exceeds the
specified value (< 0 °C or > 95 °C), the last value in the table is used for calculation.
The table must be completed with the following values in steps of 5 °C:
((pH25 / pHT) – 1) • 100 [%]
pH25
pH value at 25 °C

Note: If the delta function and TC correction are enabled at the same time, the TC correction is carried
out first and the delta value is then deducted.
5.7.4 Delta Function
Note: If the delta function is enabled, “∆” is shown on the display in measuring mode.

CIP/SIP Counters
Note: This function is not available for all sensor types.
CIP/SIP cycles are used to clean or sterilize process-wetted parts in the process. Depending on the ap-
plication, either one chemical (alkaline solution, water) or several chemicals (alkaline solution, water,
acidic solution, water) are used.
• CIP temperature > 55 °C/131 °F
• SIP temperature > 115 °C/239 °F
The cleaning (cleaning in place) and sterilization (sterilization in place) cycles are counted to measure
the load on the sensor, e.g., in biotechnology applications.
Note: If measurements are generally taken at high temperatures (> 55 °C/131 °F), the counters should
be switched off.
When a CIP/SIP counter is switched on, a maximum number of cycles can be entered. As soon as the
counter has reached the specified value, a maintenance required message is triggered and the NAMUR
icon
is displayed.
Note: A CIP or SIP cycle is only entered into the logbook 2 hours after the start to ensure that the cycle
is complete.
Note: With Memosens sensors, an entry is also made in the sensor.

NOTICE! When using analog sensors, adjustment is required following sensor replacement.
pH Calibration/Adjustment Explanations
Each pH sensor has a separate zero point and a separate slope. Both values change as a result of aging
and wear. The voltage supplied by the pH sensor is corrected by Stratos Multi for the zero point and
the electrode slope of the pH sensor, and displayed as the pH value.
During calibration, the sensor’s deviation is initially determined (zero point, slope). The sensor is
immersed in buffer solutions with a precisely known pH value for this purpose. Stratos Multi measures
the voltages of the sensors and the temperature of the buffer solution, using this information to
calculate the sensor’s zero point and slope.
Calibration values determined during calibration
Zero Point
The pH value at which the pH sensor supplies the voltage 0 mV. The zero point is different for each
sensor and changes with age and wear.
Slope
The slope of a sensor is the voltage change per pH unit. With an ideal sensor, this is -59.2 mV/pH.
Temperature
The temperature of the process solution must be logged, since the pH measurement is tempera-
ture-dependent. Many sensors feature an integrated temperature probe.
There are limits that are calculated during calibration when monitoring glass and reference imped-
ances. The following limits apply to standard glass electrodes:
• Temperature range: 0 ... 80 °C/32 ... 176 °F
• Impedance range: 50 ... 250 MΩ (at 25 °C/77 °F)

6.2.1 Calibration Methods
One-Point Calibration
The sensor is calibrated with just one buffer solution. A one-point calibration is useful and permissible
if the measured values are close to the sensor zero point, such that the change in sensor slope is of
negligible significance. The sensor’s zero point is subsequently adjusted, while the slope remains
unchanged.
Two-Point Calibration
The sensor is calibrated with two buffer solutions. This makes it possible to calculate the sensor’s zero
point and slope. The sensor’s zero point and slope are subsequently adjusted. A two-point calibration
is required in the following cases, for example:
• The sensor has been replaced
• The pH measured value covers a large range
• The pH measured value is far from the sensor zero point
• The pH value needs to be determined with high precision
• The sensor is subject to heavy wear

sor’s zero point and slope are subsequently adjusted.
