    1. Overview 1.1. Introduction The AquaMetrix 2300 Controller is the first multi-input controller that brings web-based operation down to a price that can be afforded by just about any facility. Its combination of features remote control, data logging, email alerts and seven inputs are unparalleled in the water monitoring market.

    2.3. Relay Wiring The 2300 controller has 4 relays that can be expanded to 10 with the addition of a second card. The relays are capable of handling 120 V @ 10 A or 240 V @ 5 A. They can also be part of a 24 VDC circuit. Unlike the Shark-120 the relays are not powered.

  • Page 15 3.4. Calibrating Sensors from the Front Panel Most routine operation of the 2300 is most conveniently done through the web interface. However, for some installations especially industrial ones calibration may be more conveniently done through the front panel. Note that front panel calibration only allows 2-point calibrations. To calibrate from the front panel follow these instructions: Menu 1.

Setting Relays from the Front Panel Another operation that may be performed at the front panel is configuring relay set points. Except in the rare case in which there is no access to a local area network, you will have already set up the relay trigger points in the Probe Configuration Wizard.

Saving and Restoring Your Configuration from the Front Panel Once you have configured the 2300 with probe definitions, relay/alarm set pings and email and server set ups, you can save these settings to the external microSD card via the front panel menu.

  • Page 18: Menu Button

    6. The next screen will display a message that the save was successful. If there is no microSD card you will get the message, Backup Failed. The Restore utility only works with units having the same firmware build. Upgrades to firmware will not change the configuration inside the 2300, so we suggest saving the configuration to a memory card after a firmware upgrade.
  • Page 19 Figure 4-1 - Sequence of menus for toggling between DHCP and Fixed determination of IP address. The main reason for assigning a fixed IP address to a 2300 is to configure it on a wide area network. However, even with DHCP, most routers very infrequently change IP addresses of devices. To configure the 2300 with a fixed IP address first set the unit up for that mode.

    Each probe can be configured to provide multiple alarms, relay activations, and email notifications. The 2300 is designed to allow full flexibility of assigning any or all of these outputs to any or all of the probes, including virtual probes. You are limited only by the number of hardwired relays on your controller, four of which are standard but more of which may be added using an optional card.
