If you are performing 1-point calibration, press ▲/▼keys together to return to measurement mode. If you are performing two-point calibration, proceed with the next step. Use ▲/▼keys to select the next buffer value (pH 1.68, 4.01, 9.18, 10.01 and 12.45). Make sure the electrode is in the correct buffer solution.
7 ORP CALIBRATION mV (ORP) values may be offset at up to ±150 mV to agree with a calibration solution or an established work standard. Key in the password “011” as per procedure described in Section 5. Controller will blink with uncalibrated mV output of your electrode. Determine the mV value of your solution with an accurate meter (such as the pH 6).
8 TEMPERATURE CALIBRATION This controller features selectable Automatic Temperature Compensation (ATC) or Manual Temperature Compensation (MTC). ATC: ATC mode requires a Pt 100 temperature element. ATC automatically compensates for temperature fluctuations. You can offset your ATC temperature reading by ±10 Important: If there is no temperature element wired to the controller and ATC is selected on, the screen will flash in pH or ORP mode, and you will see an error message (OR) in temperature mode.
9 SETUP MODE 9.1 General Information IMPORTANT: When Setup mode is entered, the controller automatically goes into a “HOLD” mode where the 4-20 mA output freezes and the relays are de-activated (if it was in an activated condition). Upon return to the measurement mode, both the 4-20mA output and relay activities resume, depending on the settings.
9.2 Setup mode overview P1.0: Set Point 1 P1.1: select relay 1 set point value P1.2: select relay 1 as low or high set point P1.3: set relay 1 hysteresis value P2.0: Set Point 2 P2.1: select relay 2 set point value P2.2: select relay 2 as low or high set point P2.3: set relay 2 hysteresis value P3.0: Configuration...
9.3 Set Point 1 – P1.0 Setup program P1.0 allows you to set parameters for relay 1. P1.1: select relay 1 set point value P1.2: select relay 1 as low or high set point P1.3: set relay 1 hysteresis value (dead band) P 1 .0 P 1 .1 P 1 .2...
Page 22
P1.3: Set Hysteresis value Hysteresis prevents rapid contact switching if your value is fluctuating near the set point. Once activated, the relay will not return to resting position until the measured value has passed through the set point plus hysteresis value. Example: With a low set point of 4.00 and a hysteresis value of 0.5, the relay will activate at pH values below 4.00, but will not de-activate till the measured pH value rises above pH 4.50.
9.4 Set Point 2 – P2.0 Setup program P2.0 allows you to set parameters for relay 2. P2.1: select relay 2 set point value P2.2: select relay 2 as low or high set point P2.3: set relay 2 hysteresis value (dead band) P 2 .0 P 2 .1 P 2 .2...

P2.3: Set Hysteresis value Hysteresis prevents rapid contact switching if your value is fluctuating near the set point. Once activated, the relay will not return to resting position until the measured value has passed through the set point plus hysteresis value. Example: With a high set point of 10.00 and a hysteresis value of 0.5, the relay will activate at pH values above 10.00, but will not de-activate till the measured pH value decreases below pH 9.50.
9.5 Configuration – P3.0 Setup program P3.0 let you configure controller parameters. P3.1: select pH or ORP mode of operation P3.2: select symmetrical or asymmetrical input mode P3.3: select temperature compensation (manual or automatic) P 3. 0 P 3. 1 P 3 .2 P 3 .

9.6 Viewing Calibration points: pH or ORP – P4.0 Setup program P4.0 lets you view the current points at which the controller is calibrated. This is a “view only” parameter. P4.1: first calibration point P4.2: second calibration point (pH only) When controller has no calibration points in memory, the display will show “-------“.
9.7 Viewing pH Electrode Data – P5.0 In pH mode, Program 5 has three “view only” options that lets you check the electrode parameters for diagnostic purposes. P5.1: view pH electrode offset P5.2: view pH electrode slope P5.3: view temperature probe offset (ATC on only) These parameters will change each time you recalibrate the controller.
9.8 Viewing ORP Electrode Data – P5.0 In ORP mode, Program 5 has two “view only” options that lets you check the electrode parameters for diagnostic purposes. P5.1: view ORP electrode offset P5.2: view temperature probe offset (ATC on only) These parameters will change each time you recalibrate the controller.
9.9 Controller Reset – P6.0 This parameter lets you reset the controller. All pH and ORP calibration data will be cleared, and all Setup parameters revert to factory default values. Temperature mode (ATC or MTC) and calibration data remains unchanged. P 6 .0 P 6 .1 y e S...
10 RELAYS The alpha pH 200 features two SPDT non-powered relays; rated for 6A at 110 VAC, 250 VAC maximum. When your process exceeds the set parameters of a relay set point, the REL 1 or REL 2 indicator lights up. To set parameters for relay one and relay two, see Setup programs P1.0 and P2.0.

Appendix 1: Asymmetrical / Symmetrical Mode The alpha pH 200 controller can be operated in the asymmetrical or symmetrical modes (See Set up Program P3.2). Asymmetrical mode: Asymmetrical mode works well in environments where there is little or no electrical noise. When there is noise, the noise acts as a common signal, which is picked up by both the pH and the reference electrodes.
Page 35
Symmetrical mode: For noisy electrical environments, the alpha pH 200 controller offers Symmetrical Mode operation. To take advantage of Symmetrical operation, you must have an electrode with a solution ground (potential matching) pin, such as the EC-ARGTSO-05B or EC- 100GTSO-05B. If your electrode does not have a solution ground, be sure to set the controller to Asymmetrical mode.

Appendix 2: Simple Explanation on the Function of Hysteresis SP1 Set to LO SP2 Set to HI RELAY ON The controller relay activates when the set-point is reached. In the reverse direction, it does not de- activate when the value reaches the set-point.
Page 37
Appendix 4: External Relays The relays on the alpha pH 200 series controller are rated for 6 amps at 110 VAC and can be wired directly to your final control element (provided its power requirements does not exceed this). However, to preserve the life of your controller, or if higher power is needed, it is recommended that you use the controller relay to drive an external relay.
