αlpha-RES1000 Operating Instructions Overview 4.1 Keypad and Display 4.1.1 Keypad • Perform rapid calibration • 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 •...
αlpha-RES1000 Operating Instructions 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 Control relay 1 configuration (SP1) Control relay 2 configuration (SP2) Control type (Cntr) Current output (rng)
αlpha-RES1000 Operating Instructions 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;...
αlpha-RES1000 Operating Instructions 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. Annunciators at right side of the display indicate mΩ...
αlpha-RES1000 Operating Instructions NOTE: To view (not change) electrode condition, push ENTER key when the security code reads “000”. 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.
αlpha-RES1000 Operating Instructions 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.
αlpha-RES1000 Operating Instructions Advanced Set-Up Mode 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.
αlpha-RES1000 Operating Instructions 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 ∆ or ∇ keys to scroll through the sub-menus until the display shows “Set C”.
αlpha-RES1000 Operating Instructions Continue with additional Advanced Set-up procedures, or return to Measurement mode by pressing ∆ and ∇ keys (escape) simultaneously. 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.
αlpha-RES1000 Operating Instructions Proceed to 7.3.4, or return Measurement mode by pressing ∆ and ∇ keys simultaneously (escape). 7.3.4 Selecting a hysteresis (dead band) value (0.000 to 0.200 mΩ or 0.00 to 2.00 mΩ) Hysteresis prevents rapid contact switching if the value is fluctuating near the set point. It does this by overshooting the set point value to a specified hysteresis value (default is 0.20 mΩ).
αlpha-RES1000 Operating Instructions 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.
αlpha-RES1000 Operating Instructions 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 ∆ and ∇ keys to select your controller type. L.Ct = limit value pickup (on/off control).
αlpha-RES1000 Operating Instructions 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.
αlpha-RES1000 Operating Instructions 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.
αlpha-RES1000 Operating Instructions 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”. Press the ∆...
αlpha-RES1000 Operating Instructions 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. Follow directions in 7.6.1 to enter Configuration mode.
αlpha-RES1000 Operating Instructions 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”.
αlpha-RES1000 Operating Instructions 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. Auto mode (mode after switch-on) To view set-point values: Press RELAY SELECTION (Rel A/Rel B) key.
