I. Important Safety Information SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS The equipment described in this Manual is designed and manufactured to operate within defined design limits. Any misuse may result in injury, electric shock, or damage to the equipment. For safe operation, the following rules should be observed for installation, use, and maintenance.
II. Description of Contents Standard Model 5100-5200: Item Qty. Description The Model 5100 or 5200 - an enclosed electronic unit with control Controller unit switches and displays on the front and power connections on the rear. Wrapped in bubble wrap. Standard chamber sensor is a Model 556 Humidity and Temperature probe, which includes a cable for connection to the Sensor...
III. Setup Guide Setup Guide Step 1 – Unpack and inspect. Unpack the controller and sensor and inspect for visible damage. If no damage is observed, then proceed to the next step. Step 2 – Select Location. Place on a level surface on top of or near the chamber, providing access to buttons and visibility of displays as shown.

Step 4 – Install the Sensor • Ensure that the sensor and its cable are firmly connected together. • For installation in an ETS chamber, loosen the ¾ NPT fitting located on the right panel of the chamber and insert the sensor from the outside, in.
IV. Quick Start Guide Quick Start is described for a standard 5200 Controller temperature and humidity system. Quick Start Guide Step 1 – Turn on Power Verify that the system is set up as described in the previous section. Turn POWER to ON (I = on). Note: On a 5100 controller, Power switch is on the front panel Step 2 –...

• Ramp and Soak A Ramp is a controlled increase or decrease to a setpoint, and a Soak indicates static regulation at a setpoint. The 3300 control units provide a single ramp-soak sequence. Controllers configured with the 9500P control module can provide a sequence of ramp and soak operations as shown below. Instructions for programming these operations are given in Appendix A of this manual.

5200 Series is on the back panel. “I” is ON, “0” is OFF. 5.4 The Sensor • ETS Humidity/Temperature Sensor Most controllers are supplied with the standard Model 556 Sensor, shown below. The 556 provides precision measurement of both humidity and temperature. For special applications such as LN2 cooling, the Model 557 extended range sensor is used.

5.5 Supported Operating Equipment The controllers are designed to control AC-powered operating systems such as ETS products: o Desiccant/Pump and Dry Gas Dehumidification (Models 5461, 5463, 5471 & 5478), o Ultrasonic Humidification (Models 5462 & 5472), o Cooling (Models 5463, 5466, 5473 & 5475), and o Heating (Model 5464 &...
VI. System Performance 6.1 Specifications General: Aluminum chassis box mounts up to 2 electronic control circuits. Front panel display of control circuit measurements and targets. Front panel switches individually disable operating systems. Rear panel connectors for Sensor, AC power input, and controlled outputs. Control Circuit: Microprocessor control circuit with PID and user interface software installed.

Applications Software and Computer Control The ETS controllers can operate as “stand-alone” units or in conjunction with a computer: Stand alone: The controllers do not need PC supervision for their normal function. They can control a process without dependance on a communications loop.
Controller to ETS for service. If any individual output stops working or the front panel controls are not functioning properly, this is not a user-serviceable condition. Arrange to return the unit to ETS for service. Model 5100 & 5200 Controllers – Operating Manual...
VIII. WARRANTY Limited Warranties. Electro-Tech Systems (“Seller”) warrants that all goods manufactured and delivered hereunder shall (a) conform to any samples, drawings, specifications, or other written documents provided to Seller by Buyer, or approved by Buyer to Seller and (b) be free from all defects in workmanship and material.
” button. Then press the “▲” or “▼” buttons to change the parameter. NOTE: The factory programmed values are optimized for general purpose use of ETS chambers. Changes to the values may help optimize performance for your specific application but also creates a risk of degrading performance. It is strongly recommended to document the current values before changing them.
APPENDIX B - COMPUTER SOFTWARE B.1 Summary Comprehensive control, charting, ramp/soak programming, audible/visual alarming, and networking of multiple controllers is possible with the 5100/5200 Controllers. For full- feature performance, it is recommended that the system be configured with 9500P control modules with the communications capability COMM option for communications with a PC, and the CALGraphix software package.
