Please note that these operating screens cannot be seen 

except through the door window with the cabinet door 

closed or in maintenance bypass mode. See section 5.3 

for more information on this.

If changes to the configuration have to be performed, you will need to 

enter the maintenance bypass mode see section 5.3 for more information.
The instrument has been designed to provide the ability to customize the 

instrument according to needs at any time during normal operation. This 

mode has been split into sub-menus to facilitate instrument configuration. 

This section describes how to use each of the sub-menus to configure the 

instrument. While in the configuration mode, the instrument has a time-out 

feature that automatically returns the system operation to the 

AUTO

 mode 

after a fifteen (15) minute period of no button pushes.
Enter the 

CONFIG

 mode of the instrument by pressing the 

MODE/EXIT

 

button until the arrow beside 

CONFIG

 is illuminated, then press the 

  

button to scroll through the sub- menus.

8.1 Setting the 4-20 mA Output

The first configuration selection is 

4-20

 for the 4-20 mA 

output. Select the either 

On

 or 

OFF

 using the 

 and 

 

buttons. Once the desired output has been set, press the 

  button to accept it. The next prompts will depend on the 

output selected. Also see sections 8.12 and 8.13.

If the 4-20 mA output was turned 

On

, prompts to set the 4mA 

(4MA)

 and 

20mA 

(20MA)

 chlorine limits will be displayed. There will also be a menu 

to adjust the error level (ERLV). The first prompt will be the chlorine limit 

assigned to the 4 mA output level:
Select the chlorine level to assign to the 

4MA

 using the 

 and 

 buttons.

Once the desired level has been set, press the 

  button to accept it.

NOTICE

To exit the CONFIG mode, press the MODE/EXIT button any 

changes that were made will be saved.

NOTICE

The 4MA can be set higher than 20MA level to invert the output 

current if required. This may be required to control a dosing pump.

The next prompt will be the chlorine level assigned to the 20MA. Select 

the chlorine level using the 

 and 

 buttons. Once the desired level 

has been set, press the 

  button to accept it.

8.2 Configuring the Error Level

In case of an error in the CLX-Ex2, the 4-20 mA reading can be used to 

indicate a problem by sending the current to either 4.00 mA, 2.00 mA or 0 

mA. The factory default setting is OFF. Select the desired ERLV by using the 

 

and 

 buttons then press the 

  button to accept the desired error response.

8.3 Configuring the RS–485 Port

The instrument is equipped with an RS 485 port which operates in 

Simple bus or Modbus. Prompts will appear for setting the baud rate, 

the address and the Modbus transmission mode (RTU or ASCII).

Select the correct baud rate (1200, 2400, 4800, 9600, or 19200) for 

operation of the I/O port by pressing the 

 or 

 buttons to change the 

displayed baud rate.
Press the 

  button to continue on and select the desired instrument 

address using the 

 or 

 buttons. Once the selection is satisfactory, 

press the 

  button.

To use the Modbus mode, select 

ASCII

 or 

RTU

. See 

section 9.1.2.

Only access when the atmosphere has been tested and known to 

be safe.
