1. Introduction The alpha pH 100 series pH/ORP Controller/Transmitter is the latest innovation of process controllers from Eutech Instruments. Incorporated with the ASIC (Application Specific Integrated Circuit) microprocessor technology, this panel- mounted on-line controller provides many user-friendly features desirable in pH/ORP controllers. This versatile pH/ORP unit can be used either for measuring and monitoring pH or ORP values at one time.
2. Getting Acquainted 2.1 Front Panel The front panel consists of a 3 digit LED display together with 5 LED annunciators. There are also 4 keys as shown below. 8 8 8 MODE ENTER REA DY RELA Y SETUP pH/ OR The keys available are the (UP/INCREMENT), (DOWN/DECREMENT), MODE and ENTER keys.
2.2 Back Panel The back panel consists of two connectors. The first one is a 4- way screw terminal and the second is a 12-way screw terminal. Refer to the label on top of the unit for diagram. The connection for the 4-way screw terminals are (from the left to right): 1.
You can set the temperature at a selected value. The temperature is set to factory default at 25.0 NOTE : Eutech Instruments will not be responsible for incorrect application of the controller using improper voltage sources or wrong jumper settings.
3. Operating the Controller 3.1 The Main Display MODE Press MODE key to switch to three main displays - the pH/ORP ENTER pH/OR P display, the temperature display and “SEt” display. Press MODE key once to get into 24.0 MODE the temperature measurement.
4. Setting Up the Controller 4.1 Setting and Changing the Password 4.1.1 Setting New Password To set a password, press MODE key MODE until the “SEt” is displayed. ENTER Press ENTER key and the SETUP display shows "CAL” and “PH” alternately.
To calibrate the controller at any time, you may have to enter the password that you set, in order to access the calibration mode. Once you have entered the password correctly, the display shows "CAL PH” indicating that you are in one of the lower-level SETUP menus.
5. Calibrating the Controller 5.1 The Lower Level Menus The "CAL PH/CAL OrP" display is the first menu seen upon entering the lower-level menus, depending on which mode is set. Press key to display the various menus as shown in the figure below. Press ENTER key to go to the lower level menus.
complete the pH calibration, as fo pH 7.0. Press MODE key to return to measurement mode. Note : If the pH value is not near to any buffer, pressing ENTER will MODE not calibrate the controller. If at ENTER any point, you decide not to SETUP calibrate, you can return to the previous mode by pressing the...
5.4 Calibrating for ORP Measurement Make sure that the ORP mode is set before calibration. MODE Enter this menu by pressing ENTER MODE key twice to the “SEt” SETUP display if you are in measurement mode. Press ENTER key. If the password MODE has been set earlier, key in the ENTER...
the “CAL” and “PH” display blinks alternatively. Press key once, the display shows “CAL”“ C” blinking. Press ENTER and the display alternatively shows “Atc” and “On” or “Atc” and “OFF”. Use keys to choose between both ATC ON and ATC OFF. 5.5.2 ATC ON/OFF ATC ON : If a PT 100 is connected, A t c...

ATC OFF : If a PT 100 is not used, A t c MODE then the ATC should be set to OFF. In step 3 above, choose by ENTER pressing keys to select SETUP ATC OFF. Then press ENTER. The display will now show the default of 25 C or the last set MODE...
5.6 Setting the Alarm Feature This menu allows you to change the High and Low Setpoint and Hysteresis values. See Section 8 for hysteresis applications. IMPORTANT : When SETUP mode is entered, the 4-20 mA output (only for transmitter CX model) freezes and the relay de- activates (if it was in an alarm condition).
5.6.2 The Hi HYS Menu Enter this menu by pressing the MODE key to the “SEt” display MODE if you are in the measurement ENTER mode. SETUP Press ENTER key. If the password has been set earlier, key in the password using the method described in section MODE 4.1.
5.6.3 The Lo SEt Menu Enter this menu by pressing MODE MODE key twice to the “SEt” display if you are in ENTER measurement mode. SETUP Press ENTER key. If the password has been set earlier, key in the password MODE using the method described in ENTER...
5.6.4 The Lo HYS Menu Enter this menu by pressing the MODE key to the “SEt” MODE display if you are in the ENTER measurement mode. SETUP Press ENTER key. If the password has been set earlier, key in the password using the method described in section MODE 4.1.
6. Using the Controller Current Loop for Datalogging (for Transmitter Model Only) The 4-20 mA Current Loop A 4-20 mA current loop can be connected if a remote data logging is required. The current will be proportional to the pH/ORP displayed on the panel display. The 4-20 mA current loop can drive a load resistance of no more than 200 .
7. Additional Information The controller allows you to set High and Low alarms that switch on or off relays, and activating or deactivating devices linked to the controller. In cases where the pH/ORP values fluctuate close to the high or low setpoints, the relays will continuously switch on/off very quickly and may cause problems to the linked devices.
Explanation of the diagram in the previous page A - Reading reaches (Hi SET - ½ HI HYS), the Hi-Set relay remains inactivated. B - Reading reaches above High Setpoint but below (Hi SET + ½ Hi HYS), Hi-Set relay remains inactivated. C - Reading reaches between (Hi SET - ½...
