This necessitates the use of shielded cable for the connection of the electrode. A coaxial cable with an additional outer layer of carbon must be used to ensure a steady pH signal. The DPH-64 converts the electrode signal with a precision input amplifier and then further processes the electrical signal for display, alarm, signal and set point controls.

ORP, temperature control or timer output is required. Default label names for these outputs are S1, S2, S3, S4 and P1, P2. The DPH-64 is shipped with its basic setup of all four relays set point controlled for up or down dosing.

DPH-64. An “activity indicator” in the top right corner of the LCD display continu- ously averages the electrode input and displays an increase, decrease or steady pH / mV.
The DPH-64 should be installed near the treatment plant. Maximum length of the co-axial cable used should not exceed 10 metres because of the very high input impedance characteristic of a pH electrode.
Plug the power cord into the supply and switch on the DPH-64. The LCD display lights up and shows pH and Time. Some LED’s may light up depending on the electrode or simulator input present.
4mA = 0.00pH 20mA = 14.00pH The DPH-64 automatically returns to the main window after 2 minutes if, for some reason, left anywhere in the configuration or calibration menu. The DPH-64 automatically returns to the main window after 2 minutes if left anywhere in the configuration or calibration menu.
Configurations for the DPH-64. Press ‘MODE’ to go to the first configuration window. The selections here are to calibrate an electrode or mA current output and set time. To scroll the selections rotate the ‘VALUE’ knob. Pressing again selects this option and enters the appropriate window.

The meter can also be connected in series in an already existing installation. (See Fig.8) Connect the multimeter to the 4-20mA terminals of the DPH-64. Select the DC current range 20 or 200mA of the meter. Calibrating 4-20mA with a multimeter.
This window contains all the configuration menus for mode of operation, up or down dosing, temperature compensation and 4-20mA setup. Extended features moves to the advanced modes of operation possible with the DPH-64 controller. Selecting mode of operation. .1/ Selecting up/down mode.

The last option RESET TO DEFAULTS if activated returns all functions of the DPH-64 to the default configuration as outlined on page 10. Some options obviously are exclusive to each other such as S1 can only operate either as a timed relay or as a dedicated timer. S2 will operate as a normal setpoint output for up/down dosing or as an alarm with a combined low and high setpoint.

DELAY only operates when normal setpoint for S3 and S4 is selected. This feature will eliminate possible hunting between metering pumps or dosing valves when treating effluent with an acid and alkali neutraliser. A time delay from 1 to 5 minutes can be selected. PAGE 18 DPH-64 Instruction manual...
S3 / S4 Temperature A HOFMANN TP-150 temperature sensor must be connected to use temperature control with S3 and S4. Both can be set for above or below temperature operation with a setpoint range from 0 to 100 C and an adjustable deadband of 0.2 to 10.0...

Reset to Defaults This feature, if applied, cancels all customer programming and returns the DPH-64 to factory defaults. Press VALUE several times until “Please Wait… ” appears then keep depressed for several seconds. Reset is finished when ‘SAVED’ is displayed.
Polarity has to be observed when connecting the 4-20mA current output. A TP-150 temperature electrode connected will enable automatic compensation for pH. S3 and S4 can now be connected to a heater (etc) for temperature control. Wiring options for the DPH-64. .1/ ! DPH-64 Instruction manual PAGE 23...
