I. INITIAL INSPECTION and ASSEMBLY Carefully unpack the instrument and accessories. Inspect for damages made in shipment. If any damage is found, notify your Jenco representative immediately. All packing materials should be saved until satisfactory operation is confirmed. MOUNTING PROCEDURE 1.
The system also has an isolated 4-20mA analog output, offset and span configurable for the pH or ORP display. The model 6311 comes with a RS485 interface that can easily let the user log all data (from multiple model 6311 or other Jenco Models with rs485) with an IBM PC/AT compatible computer.

AC power supply. 1. Connect the AC line to the rear of the instrument. The model 6311 can be used with 115 or 230VAC 50/60 Hz. Power consumption is 6 watts. Make sure the EARTH connector is connected to the earth lead of the AC power line.
4. A +5VDC and -5VDC (max 20mA for each) output to provide excitation voltage for pH/ORP pre-amplifier only. CAUTION: 1. MAKE SURE THAT THE POWER IS UNPLUGGED BEFORE WIRING YOUR PROBES, RELAY ETC. 2. MAKE SURE YOU CONNECT THE AC POWER CORD TO THE CORRECT AC TERMINALS.
There should be no air bubbles around the probes either. Shaking or moving the probes vigorously before recording any measurement will dislodge any bubbles formed in the probes. IV. MODEL 6311 MODES A. MAIN DISPLAY MODE Turning ON the unit will always display MAIN display mode.
4. ORP-RmV - a measurement of relative ORP mV. The OFFSET value at the ORP CALIBRATION page will be added to the ORP absolute value to display the ORP relative value. Pressing [MODE] in MAIN display mode will cycle the display from the four modes above.
CAUTION: If the unit is UNLOCKED then every time the user enters the Calibration/Setting mode the relays and analog out will be FROZEN (control relays and current output will not be updated even if the input is changing). b. CALIBRATION/ SETTING SELECT screen This screen will let the user select only one (pH, ABS.
This screen will let the user select what temperature probe (10KΩ thermistor, Balco 3KΩ resistor or RTD pt-1000) the user will use. This screen will always default to the last temperature probe the user selected. For most application the user will only use one kind of temperature probe so the user don’t need to change this selection once you select the correct temperature probe.
This is the actual pH calibration. The initial display will be the chosen buffer for pH BUFFER I SELECT. The “STAND” annunciator will blink indicating the unit is waiting for the user to start the calibration. cleaned electrode temperature probe in buffer I. Pressing the [OK] key will start the calibration.

A “WAIT” message will blink indicating that the instrument is waiting for a stable reading. The display will be locked to the buffer value corresponding to the temperature of buffer 2 (See chapter IX.

CAUTION: The user is responsible in remembering their password number otherwise you would not be able to calibrate or change the settings.
ii. 4mA SETTING screen This screen will let the user change the 4 mA value. The user can use [ ], [ ] , [ ]or [OK] keys to input new 4mA value. This value is used for scaling the 4-20mA ANALOG OUTPUT. (For detailed explanation see chapter VI.

This screen will let the user select what temperature probe (10KΩ thermistor, Balco 3KΩ resistor or RTD pt-1000) the user will use. This screen will always default to the last temperature probe the user selected. For most application the user will only use one kind of temperature probe so the user don’t need to change this selection once you select the correct temperature probe.
This screen will let the user change the 20 mA value. this value is used for scaling the 4-20mA ANALOG OUTPUT. (See chapter VI. 4-20 mA OUTPUT.) v. RELAY-1, RELAY-2, RELAY-3, RELAY-4 SETTING This screen is essentially the same for the four relays. Take note of the blinking character as there are 3 values to input for each relay.
viii. PASSWORD SETTING This screen selects the password number for this unit. The user can use [ ], [ ] or [ ] keys to input the new password. Pressing the [OK] key will save the password number and LOCKS the unit. You will not be able change any setting or turn-on the wash relay unless a correct 4-digit number is selected in the PASSWORD CHECK screen.
