    MANUAL : Switch to MANUAL to manually dose chemicals when the optional relay output is fitted. The relay output will be activated for as long as the miniCHEM-Redox is in this mode, regardless of the Redox reading. See section 7.

  • Page 10: Mounting The Enclosure

    Page 10 3.2 Mounting the Enclosure The miniCHEM-Redox can be wall-mounted with 3 screws. Two mounting points are located underneath the terminal cover, and are positioned so that they do not affect the waterproofing of the enclosure. The third mounting point is centrally located near the top of the rear of the enclosure, and has been designed to hook over a screw-head.

    Page 11 3.4 Terminal Connections Note: The power connections detailed below are for normal mains power. Refer to section 11.1 for power wiring details when the 12V DC power option is fitted. Terminal Connection Colour No Connection No Connection Solution Guard Customer-defined.
  • Page 12: Setting The Control Limit

    Page 12 3.5 Setting the Control Limit The control limit can be set over the full scale of the miniCHEM-Redox, as a “too high” or a “too low” trip point. The hysteresis around this set point can be also be adjusted, if necessary. See section 3.5.3 for an explanation of hysteresis.
  • Page 13 Turning the HYSTERESIS clockwise increases the hysteresis and turning it anti-clockwise decreases the hysteresis. TPS DOES NOT recommend that this setting be altered, unless it is absolutely necessary. The HYSTERESIS trimmer should only be adjusted a little at a time. The process being controlled should then be closely monitored over a time to ensure that the desired control is being achieved.
  • Page 14: Selecting Current Or Voltage Output

    The jumper settings for 0 to 1V DC output are: Note that the spare jumper has been fitted to a spare Current/Voltage Output jumper pin. This is a safe place to keep it, in case the miniCHEM-Redox needs to be reset to current output in the future.
  • Page 15: Calibrating The 4 To 20Ma Output

    TPS has provided calibration controls for the 4mA and 20mA points in case this requires adjustment in the field. Only a limited amount of adjustment is available, as the miniCHEM-Redox is designed for 4 to 20mA output for the full scale of the instrument.
  • Page 16: Cmrr Control

    The setting of the Factory Config. jumpers is different for 0 to +1000mV and 0 to -1000mV. When the miniCHEM-Redox is factory-set for either of these two ranges, further changes are made inside the unit. DO NOT change these jumpers to change the display range.
  • Page 17: Calibration

    Page 17 4. Calibration 4.1 Calibration Procedure 1. Switch the miniCHEM-Redox on. Set the function switch to STANDBY, to ensure that the (optional) relay output is not activated when placing the Redox sensor into standards. 2. Connect the Redox sensor and ensure that a solution guard rod is fitted. (see section 3.4).
  • Page 18: Process Monitoring

    Page 18 5. Process Monitoring Once the miniCHEM-Redox has been installed, connected and calibrated, it can be used for continuous monitoring. To monitor the process, WITHOUT any control or alarm functions switch the function switch to STANDBY. 6. Automatic Dosing For Automatic Alarming or Control, switch the function switch to AUTO to enable the Alarm LED and the (optional) relay output.
