  • Page 9: Introduction

    Introduction Introduction The BPD17 is a microprocessor controlled pH and Redox (ORP) measurement instrument that can be used with a wide range of Single ended or differential electrodes to measure and control a broad spectrum of solution pH or Redox. To achieve this, the instrument utilises a multifunction LCD to display the primary reading and temperature, show operational status and to provide an intuitive user interface.

  • Page 19: Terminal Operation

    Supply Voltage Connections Depending upon version purchased BPD17 can be powered from either 90-265V AC or 12- 30V DC supply voltage. Refer to the label adjacent to the power supply terminals for the input voltage limits. Exceeding these limits may damage the instrument.
  • Page 20: Relay Connections

    Installation Relay Connections The BPD17 is supplied with 2 normally open volt free relays designated 1 & 2, The relay contacts are connected to the terminals only and are electrically isolated from the instrument itself. They must be connected in series with a 5 Amp fuse. A contact arc suppressor may be required to prevent excessive electrical noise, depending upon the load.
  • Page 21: Digital Inputs

    Installation Digital Inputs The BPD17 features 2 digital inputs, which can be used to initiate a user configurable instrument operation by use of a volt free link, switch or relay. The instrument can be configured to initiate the appropriate action when the contact either closes or opens.
  • Page 22: Installation And Choice Of Ph / Redox Electrodes

    When a new pH electrode is first fitted or changed it must be calibrated (see page 32). Depending on the application it may also need periodic re-calibration, the BPD17 provides an inbuilt count down timer which will trigger an alarm when calibration interval has expired (see page 38).
