INTRODUCTION 1.1 Description of Unit Thank you for purchasing Eutech’s ¼ DIN alpha-800 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.
Applications Use this controller in panel mounted enclosures for applications such as water treatment and monitoring, galvanic-decontamination, chemical processing food processing, clean or waste water control and neutralisation process...
ASSEMBLY AND INSTALLATIONS 2.1 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...

OVERVIEW 4.1 Keypad and Display 4.1.1 Keypad Perform rapid 2-point calibration and view electrode status Allows entry to Set up mode Select individual functions within the function group of Set up mode Store input data in the Set up mode Start calibration in the calibration mode Select various function groups in the Set up mode.
Function Groups The main function and sub-function groups are organised in a matrix format for configuration and selection of parameters. The main function groups are: 1) Offset adjustment (OFS) 2) Temperature Measurement / compensation settings (Set 3) Control relay 1 configuration (SP1) 4) Control relay 2 configuration (SP2) 5) Configuration (ConF) 6) Calibration (CAL pH)
MEASUREMENT 5.1 Display in Measurement mode When the controller is initially powered on, it automatically enters into the Measurement mode after the large dual LCD displays all segments briefly. The upper display shows the measured pH or ORP value, while the lower display shows either the temperature value if the controller is set for pH measurement or “OrP”...
CALIBRATION Direct Calibration from the Measurement mode is possible via the CAL key. The Calibration procedure can also be accessed from the Advanced Setup mode. 6.1 pH Calibration This unit features five preset buffer values (1.00, 4.00, 6.86 or 7.00, 9.00, 9.18 and 10.00) for quick, two-point auto calibration.

symmetrical mode, immerse the potential matching pin in the buffer. 4) Press the ENTER key to start the calibration at pH 7 (or pH 6.86). The electrode indicator and CAL indicator both flash. The controller automatically adjusts the reading to match the buffer value. 5) The lower display will now show its next lower ‘pH’...
6.2 ORP – mV Calibration This mode allows one-point calibration. 1) Enter Calibration mode. While in Measurement SETUP mode, push the CAL key. Press the ENTER key. The upper and lower display reads “CAL OrP”. HOLD Note: If the upper and lower display read “CAL PH”, see section 7.4 for procedures on how to switch from pH to ORP mV readings.
ADVANCED SET UP MODE 7.1 Electrode Offset (OFS) sub-function This option is available only in the pH mode. An allowance of 120mV is allowed to correct for electrode deviations. This feature is useful for prolonged on-line applications. The controller will add or subtract the value from the measured pH and display the correct value.
7.2 Setting temperature (Set C) sub-function 7.2.1 Selecting automatic or manual temperature compensation 1) Enter Advanced Set-up mode by pressing the ENTER key. 2) Press the keys to scroll until the SETUP display shows “Set C”. HOLD o o o o C C C C 3) Press the ENTER key.

4) Press the keys to scroll the lower display to match the correct value. The upper display will now show the offset value. You can offset temperature up to 5) Press the ENTER key to confirm your selection. 6) Continue with additional Advanced Set-up procedures, or return to the Measurement mode by pressing the keys (escape) simultaneously.

5) Press the keys to adjust the calibration temperature value, between –9.9 and 125 6) Press the ENTER key to confirm. 7) Continue with additional Advanced Set-up procedures, or return to Measurement mode by pressing the keys (escape) simultaneously.
7.3 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 1) Enter Advanced Set-up mode.
Page 23
1) Follow directions in 7.3.1 to enter Control Relay mode. 2) Press the ENTER key until the upper display shows Lo or Hi and the lower display shows SP1 (SP2). 3) Press the keys to select low (lo) or high (hi) set point for SP1 (SP2).

5) Proceed to 7.3.5 step 3, or return to Measurement mode by pressing keys simultaneously (escape). NOTE: Please refer to Appendix 3 for a graphical representation of the Hysteresis. 7.3.5 Setting an on-delay time lag You can set as time delay for each relay, which stops the relay from switching on the moment the set point is exceeded.
Page 25
3) Press the keys to enter off-delay time for Set point 1 (Set point 2). The controller will delay activation for the number of seconds (0 to 2000) you select. 4) Press the ENTER key to confirm your selection. 5) Continue with Advanced Set-up mode procedures, or return to Measurement mode by pressing the keys simultaneously (escape).
Configuration (ConF) sub-function The options available in this sub-function allows the controller to be configured as a pH or ORP controller. 7.4.1 Entering the Configuration sub-function 1) Enter Advanced Set-up mode. Press the ENTER key. 2) Press the keys to scroll until the upper display shows “ConF”. 7.4.2 Selecting pH or ORP mV measurement SETUP ConF...
