Introduction
MicroTron controllers are microprocessor based menu driven units for control of recirculating water applications.
All settings are entered into the controller through a simple front panel keypad which includes relay test
keys.

II. Description
Selectable Timers
Selectable timers (base function F) are designed to automate the addition of various chemicals or activation
of other devices via a relay output. Multiple timers can be supplied depending upon the model number, and
each timer will include a relay output. All timers can be programmed to be one of the following types:
.
Pulse Timer
– This timer accepts dry contact pulses from a make-up water meter (supplied
separately). It can accumulate -250 pulses to activate the timer to run from 0-99 minutes, 59
seconds in minutes and seconds.
2.
Percentage
– The relay is on for a percentage of a continuously repeating cycle time. Both the
percentage and cycle time are programmable.
28-Day Feed Timers
28-day feed timers, typically used for biocide feed are based on a 28-day cycle with two independent
programmable feed cycles allowing for feed on selectable days and weeks. The biocide timers on units
with selectable timers also include bleed lockout settings. Multiple timers can be supplied depending upon
the model number, and each timer will include a relay output.
MicroTron timer controllers have several base functions and optional features available. Your unit may be
supplied with one or more of the options that are described in this manual. To determine what features apply
to your unit, check the model number label located on the controller enclosure.
