4. GENERAL DESCRIPTION & INTENDED USE
HI510
is a universal process controller that supports continuous measurement of process parameters
with dedicated digital probes, such as
HI1006-1805
for
pH & Temperature and
HI2004-1805
for
ORP
& Temperature.
It can be configured for a wide range of applications requiring monitoring and / or control of process
parameters.
It’s designed to adapt to every user’s unique process control requirements, and thus provides a high
degree of flexibility for all hardware inputs and outputs, and software-defined functions. This includes
from 5V up to 24 Vdc digital inputs, and flexible function assignments for relays regarding process
control, cleaning or Hold mode.
Hanna Instruments dedicated smart probes allow for shared management of settings between
controller and probe, where the controller manages only settings related to the intended application,
as defined by requirements of the industrial process, and the probe manages settings and warnings
related to measurements, including temperature compensation and buffer calibration. Smart technology
enables optimization of probes for specific applications, such as different temperatures or pH ranges.
The controller is intended to use in industrial environments, and as such is suitable for
wall-, pipe- and
panel-mounting installations. It has a low profile vulcanized rubber keypad for all operations, blue
LEDs to indicate when relays are energized,
multi-color LEDs for detailed inspection of status, and
EMI protected RS485 interface to probe, and remote control and monitoring port. It also provides an
intuitive interface for control setup, relay activation, alarm signaling or hold status, and a help and
diagnostic feature that guides users to identify the problems and suggests possible action(s) to be
taken. Safety features include fuse-protected relays and a hold-to-safe-values mode.
Programming is done through the keypad or the RS485 connection, which requires a PC running the
HI92500
Windows compatible software.
