A fifth output is used as a diagnostic alarm. An isolated 4-20 mA output is optional. They are only compatible with Walchem sensors. The choice of the type of sensor is selected through the keypad. The sensors are temperature compensated internally; no temperature signal is transmitted to the controller.
Mounting the electronic enclosure The WDIS series controller is supplied with mounting holes on the enclosure. It should be wall mounted with the display at eye level, on a vibration-free surface, utilizing all 4 mounting holes for maximum stability.
6. Push the cable onto the end of the sensor, aligning the pins with the holes. Turn the connector until hand tight to seal the cable connection. Flow Cell Placement Instructions for mounting the sensor into the process can vary greatly with the circumstances that are encountered in your application.

WDIS3xx-5xx 240 VAC, 50/60 Hz, hardwired The various standard wiring options are shown below. Your WDIS series controller will arrive from the factory prewired or ready for hardwiring. Depending on your configuration of controller options, you may be required to hardwire some or all of the output devices. Refer to figures 2, 3 and 4 for circuit board layout and wiring.

Function Overview Front Panel Backlit LCD Display DISINFECTION CONTROLLER Output LEDs Setting Adjustment Keys CTRL 1 CTRL 2 AUX 1 AUX 2 PREV. NEXT EXIT ENTER Menu/Function Keys On/Off Power Switch Display A summary screen is displayed while the WDIS controller is on. This display shows a bar graph of the oxidizer process value relative to the set points, a digital display of the process value, and the current operating conditions.
Access Code The WDIS series controller is shipped with the access code disabled. If you wish to enable it, see Section 5.10 for operation. With the access code enabled, any user can view parameter settings, but not change them. Note that this provides protection only against casual tampering. Use a lock on the cover latch if you need more protection.
Normal Startup Startup is a simple process once your set points are in memory. Simply check your supply of chemicals, turn on the controller, calibrate the sensor if necessary and it will start controlling. Shutdown To shut the WDIS controller down, simply turn off the power switch. Programming remains in memory.

Sensor Menu The sensor menu provides the following settings: Calibration history (informational only), 1 point calibration, zero calibration, sensor type selection, and other sensor setup menus. Each is discussed in detail below. Refer to the Sensor Menu chart on the next page. Note: If you are programming the unit for the first time you must set the Sensor Type first, selecting between Chlorine (CL2), Chlorine Dioxide (ClO2), Ozone, or Peracetic Acid.

Auxiliary 1 and 2 Menu The Aux 1 and 2 relays may be configured to operate in a number of ways. They may be a low alarm, high alarm, an out-of-range alarm, an in-range output, or a probe wash. The Aux 1 and 2 menus provides the following settings, which only appear if the appropriate output mode is selected: Low Alarm Pt, High Alarm Pt, Probe Wash Sched, Hold Time, Mode.
Probe Wash Sched Only appears if the probe wash mode has been selected. Press to program the probe wash schedule. The display may read "Event A 12:00 20" which ENTER indicates that the probe wash will start at noon and the pump will run for 20 seconds. Use the arrow keys to change the time of day or the pump on-time.
4-20 mA Menu (Optional) This menu will only appear if the optional 4-20 mA output board is installed. It is used to set the scale of the 4-20 mA output. It contains the following menu selections: 4 mA Point, 20 mA Point, and Calibrate.
Clock Menu The clock menu is used to set the date and time that the controller uses to schedule probe washing and calibration prompts. There is only one menu selection: Set Clock. Set Clock Press to set the clock. Use the arrow keys to change the year, date, and month, then press ENTER .
Access Code Menu This menu determines whether the access code feature of the controller is enabled or disabled and allows you to customize the access code to your own value. The access code controls whether or not you are allowed to change the parameters in the controller. With the access code disabled, any user may change any parameter.

Maintenance The WDIS control module itself needs very little maintenance. Clean the outside of the controller enclosure with a damp cloth. Do not spray down the controller unless the enclosure door is closed and latched. "Pigtails" should be protected from spray or wash-down. Check the cords and cables for damage.
Warning: Use of non-approved fuses can affect product safety approvals. Fuse ratings depend on controller power rating. Specifications are shown below. To insure product safety certifications are maintained, it is recommended that a Walchem fuse be used. Controller Walchem P/N...
Bad Zero Cal Fail The Zero Calibration will fail if the mV reading from the sensor is outside of the range –100 to 100 mV. If the actual concentration is actually zero, refer to the sensor’s instruction manual for troubleshooting. Output Timeout This error message appears if one of the control outputs has been on longer than the maximum amount of time programmed in the "Time Limit"...
Always select the sensor type before setting the control or auxiliary output set points. Service Policy The WDIS Series Disinfection Controller has a 2-year warranty on electronic components and a 1- year warranty on mechanical parts (keypad, terminal strip and relays).
