Operating Instructions Alpha RES 1000 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: Temperature Coefficient settings (tC) Temperature Measurement / compensation settings (SEt...
Operating Instructions Alpha RES 1000 Control Concept The main function and sub-function groups are organised in a matrix format as shown below. These functions can be accessed via the front keypad for configuration and selection of parameters. Controller offers three levels of password protection: (1) for viewing all SETUP Configuration without the facility to make changes;...
Operating Instructions Alpha RES 1000 Measurement Display in Measurement mode When controller is powered on, it automatically enters into the Measurement mode after large dual LCD briefly displays all segments. The upper display shows the measured Resistivity value, while lower display shows temperature value.
Operating Instructions Alpha RES 1000 5.2.1.1 Clearing Calibration security code from display The calibration security code automatically resets from “11” to “000” after returning to Measurement mode. 5.2.2 How to enter and change parameters in Advanced Setup mode 1) Press ENTER key once. Upper display shows “000” and lower display shows “S.Cd” to prompt for Advanced Setup security code.
Operating Instructions Alpha RES 1000 Calibration Mode Calibration mode can be accessed directly from Measurement mode by pressing CAL key and entering the Calibration security code; or from the Advanced Setup mode. Resistivity Calibration Calibration is always carried out in the specific range selected. The Resistivity Controller allows a one-point calibration.
Operating Instructions Alpha RES 1000 Temperature Coefficient sub-function This sub-function allows you to select correct temperature coefficient for optimum operations. For applications in pure water or ultra-pure water industries, select “Pur” temperature coefficient option. For all other applications, select “Lin” temperature coefficient. Controller allows further input of temperature coefficient values, independently for process and for calibrating solutions.
Operating Instructions Alpha RES 1000 Temperature calibration (ATC mode only) Enter Advanced Set-up mode. Push the ENTER key and scroll to HOLD SETUP Advanced Set-up security code “22”. Push the ENTER key again. Press the Δ or ∇ keys to scroll through the sub-menus until the display shows “Set...
Operating Instructions Alpha RES 1000 Control Relay A/Control Relay B (SP1/SP2) sub-function SP1 option sets operating parameters for Relay A; and SP2 for relay B. Since these groups have the same set-up parameters, they are described together. HOLD SETUP HOLD SETUP...
Operating Instructions Alpha RES 1000 Example: Set point 1 (Lo) is at 1.00 mΩ and hysteresis limit value is at 0.20 mΩ. If measured value undershoots low set point of 1.00 mΩ, relay activates, which in turn activates an external device such as a pump or valve.
Operating Instructions Alpha RES 1000 7.3.6 Setting an off-delay time lag You can set as time delay for each relay, which stops the relay from switching off the moment the value reached the set point and hysteresis. This controller lets you set a 0 to 1999 seconds time delay before your relay deactivates.
Operating Instructions Alpha RES 1000 1) Follow directions in 7.4.1 to enter Controller mode. 2) Press the ENTER key. The upper display shows the current controller type and the lower display shows “tYP”. 3) Press the Δ and ∇ keys to select your controller type.
Operating Instructions Alpha RES 1000 7.4.5 Maximum Pulse Length (tPL) or Maximum Frequency (FPF) Note: If the controller type “oFF” or “L.Ct” is set, the parameters listed in 7.4.4 and 7.4.5 are blanked out. This mode lets you set the maximum pulse length or the maximum frequency at which the relay will operate.
Operating Instructions Alpha RES 1000 7.5.3 Measurement Range available in the Controller Range No. Range Resolution Default cell K 0.01 0.000 – 19.99 mΩ 0.01 mΩ 0.00 – 1.999 mΩ 0.001 mΩ 7.5.4 Current Output (rng) sub-function This sub-function lets you set the transmitter current output range of this unit. The difference between the upper and lower range has to be a minimum of 20% of Full Scale, anywhere on the scale.
Operating Instructions Alpha RES 1000 7.5.7 Selecting Resistivity value at 20mA This parameter selects the resistivity value at which transmitter output will be 20mA. Follow directions in 7.5.4 to enter Current Output mode. Press the ENTER key until upper display shows a resistivity value and lower display shows “r.20”.
Operating Instructions Alpha RES 1000 7.6.3 Selecting the alarm time lag (if the relay 3 is set to Alarm) This parameter group lets you select a period of time before the alarm activates when your set point has been overshot. You can select from 0 to 1999 seconds.
Operating Instructions Alpha RES 1000 7.6.6 Input Line Resistance Adjust This function compensates for the line resistance of the cable to its cell. Follow directions in 7.6.1 to enter Configuration mode. HOLD SETUP Press ENTER key until upper display shows “0.0” and lower display shows “L.Ad”.
Operating Instructions Alpha RES 1000 Auto/Manual Mode Regardless of mode, control devices connected to Relay A or Relay B can be operated from front panel of controller. In Automatic mode, controller’s set point values activate relays. In Manual mode, manual control of relays is possible to prime the pump or check pump status.
