Connect the power supply to the three-pin terminal block · VAC live wire = 1 · VAC neutral wire = 2 · VAC protective ground wire = 3 alpha CON 200 controller accepts voltages from 85 to 260 VAC, 50/60 Hz or DC. 2. Connect the Pt 100 leads to terminals 13 to 15 of the seven-pin terminal block. Either wire can be connected to either terminal. Terminals 13 and 14 must be shunted unless using a 3-wire RTD. NOTE: CON 200 is factory set for Automatic temperature compensation. MTC can be selected in Program P4.0. 3. Power on the controller. The display automatically shows the Conductivity reading, the µS and `MEAS' annunciators lights. NOTE: In the event Pt 100 is not connected or the connection is broken in the ATC mode, the display flashes `OR' to alert you. 5 3.4 Panel-mounting the controller The supplied mounting hardware allows surface mounting to all panels and protective enclosures. Mounting cut-out size is 91 x 45 mm. To attach the mounting to the controller: 1. Align the catch to the side of the controller, and insert threaded rods through catch. 2. Screw the threaded-rod through the catch in a clock-wise direction. Tighten until the catch holds the controller firmly against the back of the panel or protective housing. Repeat on the other side. Wall pa Threaded Catch TOP VIEW SIDE VIEW 6 Threaded rod Catch approx. 100 approx. 154.20 4 MEASUREMENT MODE Press MODE to toggle between: · Conductivity measurement mode and · Temperature measurement mode Conductivity Measurement Mode The controller displays the selected Conductivity range number, R X (X ranges from 1 to 8), for 2 seconds before displaying the Conductivity measurement. Conductivity Range 0.00 ­ 20.00 µS/cm 0.0 ­ 200.0 µS/cm 0.0 ­ 200.0 µS/cm 0 ­ 2000 µS/cm 0.00 ­ 10.00 mS/cm 0.00 ­ 20.00 mS/cm 0.0 ­ 200.0 mS/cm 0.0 ­ 200.0 mS/cm Range No., R 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 Resolution 0.01 µS/cm 0.1 µS/cm 0.1 µS/cm 1 µS/cm 0.01 mS/cm 0.01 mS/cm 0.1 mS/cm 0.1 mS/cm Cell Constant 0.1 0.1 1 1 1 1 1 10 Temperature Measurement mode Press MODE key once to view the temperature measurement. The display shows ATC (Automatic Temperature Compensation) or MTC (Manual Temperature Compensation), then the current measured temperature (for ATC) or the set temperature (for MTC). The oC annunciator lights when you are measuring temperature. NOTE: After pressing the MODE key to display Temperature, if there is no further key-press, the Controller will automatically revert to Conductivity Measurement mode after about 30 seconds. See Setup program P4.0 for further instructions. 7 5 PASSWORD To access Calibration and Setup functions, you need to enter a password code. You cannot change calibration and setup parameters unless you first enter the password. The alpha CON 200 controller features two separate passwords: · Conductivity and Temperature calibration mode password = 011 · Setup program password = 022 To enter the password: 1. Press ENTER twice. The display reads "P.000". The first "0" flashes. 2. Press ENTER again to leave the first digit "0" and to scroll to the next number. 3. Press the or keys to change the second digit to the correct number (1 or 2). Press ENTER. 4. Press the or keys to change the second digit to the correct number (1 or 2). Press ENTER. If you enter an incorrect digit, press MODE to back up. 5. Press ENTER again. You are now in Calibration mode or Setup mode, depending on password entered. Note: In the Password Entry mode, if there is no key-press for more than 30 seconds, Controller will automatically revert to measurement mode. 8 P . P .000 P .000 .0 P 10 P .020 P .011 P .022 9 6 CONDUCTIVITY CALIBRATION IMPORTANT: When Calibration mode is entered, controller automatically goes into a "HOLD" mode where the 4-20 mA output freezes and relays are de-activated (if it was in an activated condition). Upon return to measurement mode, both 4-20mA output and relay activities resume, depending on settings. The alpha CON 200 controller includes 8 conductivity measurement ranges. Onepoint slope calibration is possible, in each range. Choose fresh standard solutions, whose value is reasonably close to the measurement value. Before calibration, make sure electrode is clean. Use iso-propyl alcohol followed by thorough rinsing in distilled water to clean electrode. Important: To achieve a successful conductivity calibration, two conditions must be satisfied: 1. Difference between measured value of standard solution, and actual value of standard solution, must be within ± 40 %. (e.g. if value of standard solution is 1413 uS/cm, then allowable measured values by controller must be within 1978.2 uS/cm {+ 40%} and 847.8 uS/cm {- 40%}); and 2. the lowest possible value must be at least 10% of full scale (e.g. if range of 0 to 200.0 uS/cm selected, min. measured value at calibration, must be at least 20.0 uS/cm). If any or both conditions are not satisfied, controller will display ERR 1 (blinking). Key in the password "011" using the method described in Section 5. Controller displays the value of the standard solution. Use electrode to agitate standard solution to obtain a homogeneous solution and to dislodge any bubbles. Allow electrode time to stabilize with solution temperature. 4. Use / keys to adjust displayed readings to the value of the standard solution. Press ENTER. 5. If any of the two conditions mentioned above is not satisfied, controller will display ERR1, blinking. 6. If calibration is successful, Controller displays DONE, blinking. Press ENTER to revert to Conductivity measurement mode (Relays and 4-20 mA output resume previous settings). NOTE: To clear the ERR1 display and return to calibration mode, press / keys together. 10 1. 2. 3. 50 9 50 0 ENTER dn oe ENTER Notes: You can view the calibrated Conductivity value from Setup program. See Setup program P5.0. Controller displays calibrated conductivity point for selected range. If calibration is not done for the selected range, controller displays `- - - -`. If after thorough cleaning of electrode and ERR1 is displayed after an attempted calibration, consider changing electrode. 11 7 TEMPERATURE CALIBRATION IMPORTANT: When Calibration mode is entered, controller automatically goes into a "HOLD" mode where the 4-20 mA output freezes and relays are de-activated (if it was in an activated condition). Upon return to measurement mode, both 4-20mA output and relay activities resume, depending on settings. This controller features selectable Automatic Temperature Compensation (ATC) or Manual Temperature Compensation (MTC). ATC: ATC mode requires a Pt 100 temperature element. ATC automatically compensates for temperature fluctuations. ATC temperature readings can be offset by ±10 oC. Important: If there is no temperature element wired to controller and ATC is selected on, screen will flash in conductivity mode, and an error message (OR) is displayed in temperature mode. MTC: MTC lets you select a specific value at which temperature will be compensated. You can select a manual temperature value from 0 to 50oC. Factory default is 25.0oC. See Setup program P4.0 for instructions on ATC or MTC selection. To offset temperature: 1. Press MODE to select oC mode. Display shows MTC or ATC, then temper ...
