Instruction Manual alpha-pH 1000 INTRODUCTION Description of Unit Thank you for purchasing Eutech’s ¼ DIN alpha-1000 series pH/ORP process controllers. This unit is used for measuring either pH or ORP parameter one at a time, and the operational mode is switchable from the menu.
Instruction Manual alpha-pH 1000 ASSEMBLY AND INSTALLATION Measurement and Control System A typical measurement system consists of: a pH/ORP process controller a pH/ORP combination electrode with integrated or separate temperature sensor Pt 100/1000, an immersion, flow or process assembly with or without a potential matching pin (PMP) a final control element such as pump or valve a recorder and an appropriate pH or ORP measurement cable.
Instruction Manual alpha-pH 1000 Back Panel Caution: Ensure electrical mains is disconnected before proceeding. The back panel consists of two connectors. The first connector is the 17-way PCB edge connector and the other is the 5-way connector. Connection for the 17-way screw terminals (from left to right): 1.

Instruction Manual alpha-pH 1000 5.2.1 How to enter and change parameters in Calibration mode 1) Press the CAL key. The upper display shows “000” and the lower SETUP display shows “C.Cd” to prompt the user to enter the Calibration security HOLD code.
Instruction Manual alpha-pH 1000 CALIBRATION MODE You can reach the Calibration mode directly from the Measurement mode by pressing the CAL key and entering the Calibration security code. You can also reach the Calibration mode from the Advanced Setup mode. pH Calibration This unit features 7 preset buffer values (1.01, 4.01, 6.86, 7.00, 9.00, 9.18 and 10.01) for fast auto calibration.
Instruction Manual alpha-pH 1000 Note: If there is a calibration error, the controller displays “ERR”. If this happens, push both the keys (escape) to restart the calibration beginning from step 1. Note: When calibrating with manual temperature compensation, the controller automatically changes from the preset process temperature to the calibration temperature.
Instruction Manual alpha-pH 1000 ORP -% Calibration The ORP % mode allows you to calibrate at two points: a low concentration sample (20%) and a high concentration sample (80%). To calibrate the controller for ORP %: 1) Enter Calibration mode. While in Measurement mode, push the CAL key and scroll to Calibration Code “11”.
Instruction Manual alpha-pH 1000 ADVANCED SET-UP MODE Electrode Offset (OFS) sub-function You can perform electrode offset only in the pH mode. This mode allows you to change the offset parameter to make reading corrections without removing the electrode from the control system. You can make adjustments of up to +/- 120 mV.

Instruction Manual alpha-pH 1000 7.2.2 Temperature calibration (ATC mode only) Select “ATC on” as described above in Section 7.2.1. SETUP Press the ENTER key. The upper display indicates the current temperature offset. The current measured temperature is shown in HOLD the lower display.
Instruction Manual alpha-pH 1000 Control Relay A/Control Relay B (SP1/SP2) sub-function The SP1 option sets the operating parameters for Relay A; the SP2 option sets the operating parameters for relay B. Since these groups have the same set-up parameters, they are described together. 7.3.1 Entering the Set point 1 (Set point 2) sub-function Enter Advanced Set-up mode.
