GENERAL INTRODUCTION Thank you for selecting the JENCO Model 3621. The 3621 pH/ORP Controller is a rugged microprocessor based instrument assembled in a watertight 1/8 DIN case, designed for use in laboratories and process control applications. The system displays pH or ORP or Temperature and relay status in one large LCD screen.

HI2 & LOW2 –These icons, when displayed, indicate relay action and relay number. ℃ ℃ ℃ ℃ – Temperature and unit display. pH – Unit indicator. STAND – This icon will blink before Buffer 1 calibration. The icon will stay on while Buffer 1 is being calibrated.
Rel 1 Rel2 Connect the AC line to the rear of the instrument. The model 3621 can be used with 100~240V AC at 50/60 HZ. Make sure the EARTH connector is connected to the earth lead of the AC power line.
V+ (5VDC) and V- (5VDC) output to provide excitation voltage for pH/ORP pre-amplifier only. Note 【 】 (1) Make sure that the power is unplugged before wiring your probes, relay etc. (2) Make sure you connect the AC power cord to the correct AC terminals. Connecting incorrectly may damage the unit permanently.
pH – The degree of acidity or alkalinity of the solution. Temperature – Current temperature of the solution. ORP mV – A measurement of absolute ORP mV. ORP RmV– A measurement of relative ORP mV. The offset value at the RmV calibration will be added to the ORP absolute value to display the ORP relative value.

H. RmV Calibration mode +ENTER RmV normal mode The model 3621 uses 1-point calibration for RmV. In the RmV Measure mode, pressing [UP] key and [ENTER] key at the same time, the meter will enter into RmV calibration mode. Rinse the ORP probe in distilled water and immerse it in the ORP standard solution, then press [UP] or [DOWN] key to adjust the ORP value to that the ORP standard.
【 】 Note : When the ORP absolute mV reading is off, recalibrate RmV value. Controlling the relays Isolation voltage: The maximum isolation voltage of the relay output contacts is 1500 VDC. The voltage differential between the relay output contacts and the load should not exceed 1500 VDC.

If the relay action is set to HIGH, the relay will turn ON at (Set Point +1/2 Hysteresis ), and will turn OFF at (Set Point -1/2 Hysteresis ). If the relay action is set to LOW, the relay will turn ON at (Set Point -1/2 Hysteresis ), and will turn OFF at (Set Point +1/2 Hysteresis ).
