Inputs (see section 5.2)

Program the settings for each input

The S1 sensor input will be highlighted. Press the Enter key to get to the Details screen. Press the Settings key. If the 

name of the sensor does not describe the type of sensor connected, press the Scroll Down key until Type is high-

lighted. Press the Enter key. Press the Scroll Down key until the correct type of sensor is highlighted, then press the 

Confirm key to accept the change. This will bring you back to the Details screen. Press the Settings key again to fin

-

ish the rest of the S1 settings. For disinfections sensors, choose the exact sensor in the Sensor menu. For contacting 

conductivity sensors, enter the cell constant. Select the units of measure. Enter the alarm set points and alarm dead-

band. Set the default temperature that will be used for automatic temperature compensation if the temperature signal 

becomes invalid.

When finished with S1, press the Return key until the list of inputs is displayed. Press the Scroll Down key and 

repeat the process for each input.

The S2 temperature input Element should be set correctly once the S1 sensor type has been set. If not, select the cor-

rect temperature element and set the alarm set points and alarm deadband. ORP and disinfection sensors do not have 

temperature signals and are preset to No Sensor.

To calibrate the temperature, return to the S2 Details screen, press the Calibrate key, and press the Enter key to perform 

a calibration.

If a flow switch or liquid level switch is connected, D1 or D2 should be set to DI State type (if no switch is connected, 

select No Sensor). Set the state that will possibly interlock control outputs (refer to the Outputs settings to program 

which outputs, if any, will be interlocked by the switch). Set the state, if any, that will result in an alarm.

If a contacting head or paddlewheel flow meter is connected, D1 or D2 should be set to that type (if no flow meter is 

connected, select No Sensor). Set the units of measure, volume/contact or K factor, etc.

Calibrate the sensor

To calibrate the sensor, return to the list of inputs, highlight S1, press the Enter key, press the Calibrate key, and 

select one of the calibration routines. For disinfection sensors, start with the Zero Calibration. For electrodeless 

conductivity, start with the Air Calibration. Refer to section 5.2.

Press the Home key. Press the Outputs key.

Outputs (see section 5.3)

Program the settings for each output

The R1 relay output will be highlighted. Press the Enter key to get to the Details screen. Press the Settings key. If the 

name of the relay does not describe the control mode desired, press the Scroll Down key until Mode is highlighted. 

Press the Enter key. Press the Scroll Down key until the correct control mode is highlighted, then press the Confirm 

key to accept the change. This will bring you back to the Details screen. Press the Settings key again to finish the rest 

of the R1 settings.

If you want the output to be interlocked by a flow switch or by another output being active, enter the Interlock Channels 

menu and select the input or output channel that will interlock this output.

The default is for the output to be in Off mode, where the output does not react to the settings. Once all settings for 

that output are complete, enter the HOA Setting menu and change it to Auto.

Repeat for each output.

Normal Startup

Startup is a simple process once your set points are in memory. Simply check your supply of chemicals, turn on the 

controller, calibrate the sensor if necessary and it will start controlling.

4.6  Shut Down

To shut the controller down, simply turn off the power. Programming remains in memory.
