Section 4 User interface and navigation N O T I C E Do not use writing tips of pens or pencils or other sharp objects to make selections on the screen or damage to the screen will occur. Figure 13 shows an overview of the home screen.
4.1 Measurement window The main screen shows the measurement window. The carousel icon shows at the bottom of the main screen when there are other screen views available. Each screen view has one, two or four measurement windows, based on the connected sensors and the parameters of each sensor. The controller automatically fills the measurement windows to show all of the information for the connected devices.
5.2 Enter initial settings At initial startup, follow the prompts on the display to set up the language, the date, the time and network information. Refer to Configure the controller settings on page 25 to change the settings. Section 6 Operation 6.1 Configure the controller settings Set the controller language, time, date, facility, location and display options.
3. Enter the settings. Option Description None The controller does not have Ethernet ports or the Ethernet ports are not configured. The controller is supplied with the option None by default. Note: When the controller configuration is set back to the factory settings, all of the LAN connection settings are lost and the Ethernet ports are set back to None.
USB box cellular for installation instructions. 6.2.3.1 Configuration with Hach Cellular (Telenor) SIM If the controller connects to the internet with the factory installed SIM card and the default Hach data plan (Telenor), do the steps that follow: 1.
Note: To upgrade a one-channel controller to a two-channel controller, install a new digital SC connector. Refer to the documentation supplied with the connector upgrade kit. The connected devices show on the main screen and in the Devices menu. When the controller connects to a network or Claros, the devices of the network also show.

Option Description Integral Sets the integration part of the PID controller. The integration part of the controller generates an output signal. The output signal increases linearly if the control deviation is constant. The integration part responds slower than the proportional part and can completely compensate disturbances. The higher the integration part, the slower it responds.

Timer function Option Description Outputs on hold Lets the relay put a mark on the sensor configured in the menu SENSOR at the DURATION time. Other expansion modules such as other relay cards or current output cards which access data of this sensor read this 'mark' and go into hold. To go into hold means the accessing module does not read the latest measurement from the marked sensor but works with the last measurement read before the sensor was marked.
6.5.2 Configure the analog outputs Make sure that a 4-20 mA output module is installed in the controller. Refer to the documentation supplied with the module. Make sure that all of the necessary electrical connections are complete before the 4-20 mA output is configured. 1.
PID control function Option Description Error mode Sets the controller to not change the analog output value (Hold) or show the transfer value on the analog output when an internal error occurs. Options: Hold or Transfer Mode Sets the output condition when the process value is out of the controlled band. Options: Direct control or Reverse Mode Automatic—The output works as a PID controller.
c. Select the devices to remove and push OK. Confirm to remove the selected devices from the telegram list. Note: Use the drag and drop function to change the elements on the Telegram list. Push and hold on the element and move the device or tag to the new position.
Option Description Status Shows information about the data transfer. External Shows when the controller is added to the Telegram menu. For each measurement tag measurements (1 to 16) added in the Telegram menu, select a Parameter and Unit that will show on the tag for external measurements as follows: 1.
Option Description Location Sets the location name to identify the Profibus network module. Default: network module serial number Status Shows the condition of the Profibus network module. • Status—Options: Please wait—Shows until the network module finds all of the configured secondary devices or shows when the module configuration is new and looks for devices connections.
6.6 Hach Controller Network Bus configuration The Hach Controller Network Bus (HCNB) is a network used to share the connection to the PLC embedded by one controller and configure the system with remote sensors connected to other controllers (SC4500, SC4200c, SC1500 or RTC). The HCNB is applicable to Claros and non-Claros controllers, but all of the controllers must be connected to the HCNB.
4. Connect to your Claros account and provision the controller. Follow the steps in the Claros interface. Note: Contact Hach to learn more about Claros or to get a Claros account. Note: Sensor measurements may go out of view until the controller is successfully provisioned to Claros. If the controller is disconnected from Claros, make sure to set the Claros button to off to show sensor measurements on the display.
7.1 Clean the instrument Clean the exterior of the instrument with a moist cloth and a mild soap solution and then wipe the instrument dry as necessary. Note: The manufacturer recommends that the screen is locked during cleaning, or when a waterjet is used near the controller.
