CAUTION: There are live circuits inside the controller even when the power switch is in the 

OFF position! Servicing and troubleshooting the controller must be performed by Qualified 

Service Personnel.

 

 

 

 

 

This Troubleshooting Guide covers pH electrode troubleshooting whether the electrode is connected to the 

WEL-PH Housing

 

or to the 

WEL Transmitter Housing

.   

 

The 

WEL-PH Housing

 is a direct sensor input, which means it wires into the controller sensor input terminals. 

o

 

The 

WEL-PH Housing

 works with the W100, W600 and W900 controllers. 

 

The 

WEL Transmitter Housing

 is an analog input, which means it wires into the controller analog input terminals.   

o

 

The 

WEL Transmitter Housing

 only works with the W600 and W900 controllers, not with the W100 controller. 

 

You can determine which configuration you have based on the following. 

 

The 

WEL-PH Housing

 and the 

WEL Transmitter Housing

 will look physically identical.  To tell them apart, please look at the 

end of the sensor cable (that will connect to the controller). 

 

The 

WEL-PH Housing

 will have either 4 (No Automatic Temperature Compensation) wires, or 6 wires (Automatic Temperature 

Compensation), plus a shield wire.   

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The 

WEL Transmitter Housing 

will have 2 wires plus a shield wire.  The Auto Temp Comp is built into the housing.   

 

 

 

 

 

4 wire WEL-PH Housing plus shield, no Auto 

Temp Comp 

 

 

 

 

6 wire WEL-PH Housing plus shield, has 

Auto Temp Comp
