Section 3 Hardware; Modules; Sensor Modules; Communication Modules - Pentair AK110 Installation And User Manual

Modules are the electronic controls and components that make up the Controller .
Each module has a specific function or functions that tell the Controller what information to accept and what
information to display . The modular design of the Controller enables it to interface with many types of modules
including Sensor, Communication, and Relay modules .
Sensor modules determine the types of sensors signals the control can recieve . There are three sensor modules
currently available for the Controller .
AK111: pH, ORP, temp and heater control . Calculated PPM can also be displayed (Part# 724000010) .
AK112: pH, AKColor(PPM), heater control (Part# 724000380)
AK113SC: pH AKColor(PPM) ORP, Temp (Part # 725000390)
The Controller has the ability to work with several types of communication modules . The Controller can communicate
with a PC through an RS232 cable, a standard modem, or a wireless modem .
Controller Modem: High-speed modem . (Part # 725000010)
Wireless Modem: The wireless modem allows the Controller to be accessed over the internet from any PC .
Wireless modems are a perfect solution for installations without phone lines . Please note that the wireless
modem and the standard modem can not be installed in the same Controller .
The Controller is able to automate nearly any device in your pump room . The Controller uses a relay module to turn
electricity to the device on and off . Each Controller can control up to 3 relay modules . Each relay module can control
one device . Relay modules are available in seven different models . The type of relay module used depends on the
load requirements of the device that is controlled with the relay module . To determine the load requirements, please
consult the instruction manual or the device manufacturer . Any combination of the seven models of relay modules can
be installed in the three available slots on a relay board, as long as the combination does not exceed the combined
maximum current for the relayboard. The combined maximum current for any individual relay board is 5 amps.
