Page 11: System Operation Overview
V. System Operation Overview Operation MegaTronXS controllers have two modes of operation, RUN and SET-UP. - This mode is for normal operation. In the RUN mode the display will show each system’s parameters. If an alarm is present, the ALARM box will flash how many alarms are activated. No settings may be entered or changed in the RUN mode. Readings are updated every 6 seconds on the screen while in the RUN mode. SET-UP - This mode is used to make adjustments to settings and readings on the controller. - Page 12 Set Points The same basic format is used for defining each available analog probe input’s control parameters.. SET POINTS - For setting the relay set points for the >SYSTEM 1 SET POINTS< available analog probe readings such as 4-20 mA mA OUT inputs for pressure. mA IN AUX INPUTS NOTE: In the Setpoints pop-up screen the direction (Rising or Falling) of the setpoint can also be set. If the setpoint is configured for ‘Rising’ the pump output relay will activate when the PSI reading exceeds the setpoint.
- Page 13 Calibration Calibration is for adjusting the displayed value of a probes reading to match your tester or known solution. Pick the system or mA input first. From a particular system pick the probe to calibrate. All MegaTronXS controllers are factory calibrated. All units are shipped with the date preset, and the clock set to your current time. These readings and settings should be verified for accuracy, and adjusted as per the instructions listed below. 3.3 4-20mA Output Calibration 4-20mA outputs can be calibrated to insure that the...
- Page 14 a reference. A 20mA input should be around 5500 and 4mA around 1100. If the A/D numbers are not in this range check input device. The MAX and LOW calibration inputs are for telling the controller what to display for a 20mA input and a 4mA input.
