RELAYS
The
α
lpha pH 190 features two SPDT non-powered relays; rated for 6A at 110
VAC, 250 VAC maximum. When your process exceeds the set parameters of a
relay set point, the REL 1 or REL 2 indicator lights up.
To set parameters for relay 1 and relay 2, see Setup programs P1.0 and P2.0.

TRANSMITTER FUNCTION
If remote data logging is required, a 4-20 mA current loop can be connected. The
current will be proportional to the pH (or ORP) displayed on the panel display.
pH: 0.00 pH – 4 mA; 14.00 pH = 20 mA
ORP: -999 mV = 4 mA; 1000 mV = 20 mA
The 4-20 mA current loop can drive a load resistance of no more than 200
Ω
.
