Controller Overview - Pentair AK110 Installation And User Manual

AK110 Pool and Spa Chemical Controller Overview
The AK110PS Pool and Spa Chemical Controller ("Controller") is a microprocessor based modular automation system
capable of continuous local or remote monitoring and control of water chemistry for pool and spa applications . The
Controller will maintain the pH and sanitizer levels of your water system automatically . Customized applications are
possible with the addition of optional expansion modules.
MODULAR: The Controller is designed to grow with the needs of the customer . There are optional modules that can
be installed as the need arises without having to remove the Controller from the wall .
INTERFACE: The Controller uses a built-in keypad with 16 buttons, and an easy to read 80 character liquid crystal
display. The display's internal back-light provides viewing in low light conditions. The back-light illumination time can be
adjusted to suit the operator.
MENUS: The Controller features easy to use display menus for on screen navigation .
MEMORY: In case of power loss, all set-points and programming are retained in nonvolatile memory . These values will
be protected for a minimum ten (10) years without having power applied .
DATA RECORDING: The Controller has the ability to record data at 2 hour time intervals . Over 1 month of data can be
recorded before filling up the memory . When the memory is full the new data will overwrite the oldest data .
RELAYS: The Controller can control up to three (3) relays . There are various types of relay configurations available to
different types of load requirements .
DISPLAYS: The Controller can display measurements, relay ON/OFF states, length of time that relays have been on
and the alarm status .
SENSORS: The Controller can measure readings and control based on inputs from the following sensors: temperature,
digital flow, pH, ORP, and AKColor PPM .
VOLTAGE: The Controller includes a switch to select the input voltage of 110 or 220 VAC (single or dual phase) .
HEALTH: The Controller can be configured to maintain the bacteriological and physiological requirements of state and
local health departments . In addition, the Controller has the capability to be configured such that equipment can be
protected from the effects of improper water balance .
REMOTE MONITORING: The Controller can be easily configured for remote, full duplex communication using an
internal 56K modem and a phone line, or a wireless modem and an internet connection . This feature allows a user
remote access to Controller operations using an MS Windows Based PC and the Acu-Com Software . The Acu-Com
Software is a full featured software package that allows the operator to download recorded data, monitor system
inputs in real time and provides a graphing option that allows for detailed analysis of water system parameters and
performance . In addition, AcuManage II, an online database management system will display data from any internet
enabled Controller .
REMOTE PAGING: With the optional modem installed, the Controller can be programmed to dial out to electronic
paging systems for notifying operators of an alarm condition .
REMOTE EMAILING: With the optional wireless modem installed, the Controller can be programmed to send an email
notifying operators of an alarm condition .
SECURITY: The Controller provides two level security protection based on passwords for both local and remote
interaction .
