Part 2 – Analyzer Mounting
2.1 General
All Q46 Series instruments offer maximum mounting flexibility. A bracket is included with each unit that allows mounting to walls or pipes. In all cases, choose a location that is readily accessible for calibrations. Also consider that it may be necessary to utilize a location where solutions can be used during the calibration process. To take full advantage of the high contrast display, mount the instrument in a location where the display can be viewed from various angles and long distances.
Locate the instrument in close proximity to the point of sensor installation - this will allow easy access during calibration. The sensor-to-instrument distance should not exceed 200 feet (61 m). To maximize signal-to-noise ratio however, work with the shortest sensor cable possible. The standard cable length of the oxygen sensor is 30 feet.

2.2 Wall or Pipe Mount
A PVC mounting bracket with attachment screws is supplied with each transmitter (see Figure 2 for dimensions). The multi-purpose bracket is attached to the rear of the enclosure using the four flat head screws. The instrument is then attached to the wall using the four outer mounting holes in the bracket. These holes are slotted to accommodate two sizes of U-bolt that may be used to pipe mount the unit. Slots will accommodate U-bolts designed for 1½ “or 2” pipe. The actual center-to-center dimensions for the U-bolts are shown in the drawing. Note that these slots are for U-bolts with ¼-20 threads. The 1½” pipe U-bolt (2” I.D. clearance) is available from ATI in type 304 stainless steel under part number 47-0005

2.3 Panel Mount
Panel mounting of the monitor uses the panel mounting flange molded into the rear section of the enclosure. Figure 5 provides dimensions for the panel cutout required for mounting.
The panel mounting bracket kit must be ordered separately (part #05-0094). This kit contains a metal bracket that attaches to the rear of the enclosure, 4 screws for attachment of this bracket, and a sealing gasket to insure that the panel mounted monitor provides a watertight seal when mounted to a panel.
The sealing gasket must first be attached to the enclosure. The gasket contains an adhesive on one side so that it remains in place on the enclosure. Remove the protective paper from the adhesive side of the gasket and slide the gasket over the back of the enclosure so that the adhesive side lines up with the back of the enclosure flange. Once in place, you can proceed to mount the monitor in the panel.

Part 3 – Optical D.O. Sensor
3.1 General
Optical D.O. sensors are supplied complete and ready to use. All that’s needed is to make the proper sensor connections as shown in the previous section.
A rubber boot protects the end of the sensor in transit. Leave the protective boot in place until the sensor is to be placed into operation. Removal of the protective boot prior to submergence may expose the sensing element to mechanical damage that is not covered by warranty.

3.2 Optical Sensing
Optical D.O. measurement employs a technique called “fluorescence quenching” in order to measure molecular oxygen. The sensor will respond to oxygen either in the air or dissolved in water.
A polymer element at the end of the sensor contains an embedded fluorescent dye. When the element is exposed to a pulse of light from an internal LED, the material in the polymer will fluoresce, or emit light at another wavelength. This light decreases (or is quenched) at a rate proportional to the amount of oxygen in the polymer. The monitor measures the rate at which this quenching occurs and calculates the oxygen concentration based on the measurement.
Optical oxygen sensors provide the ability to measure oxygen in stagnant water, and are not affected by certain kinds of non-biological coatings. However, optical sensors are affected by biologically active coatings and must be kept clean. In activated sludge applications, biological films can have a much lower D.O. concentration on the sensor side of the film than on the bulk solution side. The automatic air cleaning system integrated into the Q46D system will eliminate coating problems by cleaning the sensor on a regular programmed schedule.

ATI Q46D-ODO Optical D.O. System Part 3 – Optical Sensor Mounting
3.3 Submersion Mounting
Most applications for D.O. monitoring are done using a submersible sensor. Optical oxygen sensor can be used in stagnant water conditions, as they do not need sample flow for measurement. Most aeration tank applications in wastewater treatment plants can for biologically active coatings on the face of the sensor, resulting in low readings. ATI’s Auto-Clean version of this product is preferred in these applications. Submersible sensors are mounted to a 1" pipe using a special sensor adapter that screws to the top of the sensor. The mounting pipe can be secured to standard 1½” or 2” pipe rail using a mounting bracket kit available from ATI (part number 00-0624) as shown in Figure 8. For standard applications, the air line fitting may be removed as it is used only for Auto-Clean installations.

Part 4 – Electrical Installation
4.1 General
The Q46 is powered in one of two ways, depending on the version purchased. The 12-24 VDC powered analyzer requires a customer supplied DC power supply. The 90-260 VAC version requires line power. Please verify the type of unit before connecting any power.
WARNING: Do not connect AC line power to the DC version. Severe
damage will result.
Important Notes:
1. Use wiring practices that conform to national, state and local electrical codes. For proper safety as well as stable measuring performance, it is important that the earth ground connection be made to a solid ground point on TB7. The AC power supply in the transmitter contains a single 630mA slo-blo fuse (Wickmann/Littlefuse #372-0630). The fuse F1 is located adjacent to TB7 and is easily replaceable.
2. Do NOT run sensor cables or instrument 4-20 mA output wiring in the same conduit that contains AC power wiring. AC power wiring should be run in a dedicated conduit to prevent electrical noise from coupling with the instrumentation signals.
3. This analyzer must be installed by trained personnel in accordance with local codes and instructions contained in this operating manual. Observe the analyzer's technical specifications and input ratings. Proper electrical disconnection means must be provided prior to the electrical power connected to this instrument, such as a circuit breaker
- rated 250 VAC, 2 A minimum. If one line of the line power mains is not neutral, use a double-pole mains switch to disconnect the analyzer.
4. Repeated problems with lightning strikes damaging sensitive instrumentation are often attributed to poorly bonded earth grounds in the instrument power source. The protection schemes incorporated into this analyzer cannot operate to maximum efficiency unless the ground connection is at its’ absolute lowest impedance.

single phase power. The power supply is configured
for 115 VAC or 230 VAC operation at the factory at
time of order, and the power supply is labeled as
such. Do NOT connect voltages other than the
5. There is no standard ground resistance universally recognized. Many agencies recommend a ground resistance value of 5 ohms or less. The NEC recommends an impedance to ground of less than 25 ohms, and less than 5 ohms where sensitive equipment is installed. Power sources feeding sensitive instruments like the Q46 should have the lowest possible impedance to ground
4.2 AC Powered Instrument Wiring
Verify the AC power supply requirement before installing. Also verify that power is fully disconnected before attempting to wire.
Q46 systems are supplied with 5 cable gland fittings for sealing cable entries.
Connect HOT, NEUTRAL, and GROUND to the matching designations on terminal strip TB7.
The analog outputs from the system are present at terminals TB1 and TB2. The loop-load limitation in this configuration is 450 Ohms maximum for output 1 and 1000 ohms maximum for output 2. Also note that these two outputs are completely isolated from each other to insure that ground loops do not result from the connection of both outputs to the same device such as a PLC or DCS.
A ribbon cable connects the power supply assembly with the microprocessor assembly located in the front section of the enclosure. This cable may be unplugged from the front section of the monitor if service is needed, but should normally be left in place during installation.
The power supply accepts only standard three-
labeled requirement to the input.

4.3 Relay Connection
Three SPDT relays are provided on the power supply board. None of the relay contacts are powered. The user must supply the proper power to the contacts. For applications that require the same switched operating voltage as the Q46 (115 or 230 VAC), power may be jumped from the power input terminals at TB7. Relay wiring is connected at TB4, TB5, and TB6 as shown below. Note that the relay contact markings are shown in the NORMAL mode. Programming a relay for “Failsafe” operation reverses the NO and NC positions in this diagram (Figure
11).

4.5 Sensor Wiring
The sensor cable can be quickly connected to the Q46 terminal strip by matching
the wire colors on the cable to the color designations on the label in the monitor. A junction box is also available to provide a break point for long sensor cable runs. Route signal cable away from AC power lines, adjustable frequency drives, motors, or other noisy electrical signal lines. Do not run sensor or signal cables in conduit that contains AC power lines or motor leads.
WIRING NOTE: The cable for the optical D.O. sensor contains a “black” wire that is
actually a black shrink tube covering both a blue and a pink wire. These two wires connect to the same point designated by black in Figure 14. If the cable is cut to a shorter length, be sure that both wires are connected to the terminal marked black.
A yellow and a gray wire are contained in the cable and are
covered to avoid shorting. If the cable length is changed, do not strip these two wires. If possible, leave sensor cable uncut to avoid problems.
Note: If sensor is experiencing Low-Slope or Low-Output conditions, due To poor Earth Ground Connections, move the Shield connection from P/S board to alternate location on lid, where indicated with an
“S”.

4.6 Junction Box Connection
For installations where the sensor is to be located more than 25 feet from the monitor (max. 200 feet/ 61 m), a junction box must be used. The junction box is shown in Figure 15, and is supplied with a ½" conduit hub on one end and a sensor cable gland on the other end.
Note: If sensor is experiencing Low-Slope or Low-Output conditions, due To poor Earth Ground Connections, move the Shield connection from P/S board to alternate location on lid, where indicated with an
“S”.

5.1 User Interface
The user interface for the Q46 Series instrument consists of a custom display and a membrane keypad. All functions are accessed from this user interface (no internal jumpers, pots, etc.).
When power is first applied, you may notice that the display does not come on immediately. This is normal. There is a 5 second start routine that runs before the display illuminates. In addition, you will notice an occasional “flicker” of the display, occurring about twice an hour. This is the result of a display processor refresh program that insures long-term display integrity, and will always occur during normal operation of the instrument.

The large custom display provides clear information for general measurement use and user configuration. There are three main areas of the display: the main parameter display, the secondary message line, and the icon area.
Main Parameter During normal operation, the main parameter display
indicates the present process input with sign and units. This main display may be configured to display any of the main measurements that the system provides. During configuration, this area displays other useful set-up information to the user.
O&M Manual Rev-J (8/17)

ATI Q46D-ODO Optical D.O. System Part 5 – Configuration
Lower Line During normal operation, the lower line of the display
indicates user-selected secondary measurements that the system is making. This also includes calibration data from the last calibration sequence and the transmitter model number and software version. During configuration, the lower line displays menu items and set-up prompts to the user. Finally, the lower line will display error messages when necessary. For a description of all display messages, refer to Section 10.31.
Icon Area The icon area contains display icons that assist the user in
set-up and indicate important states of system functions. The CAL, CONFIG, and DIAG icons are used to tell the user what branch of the software tree the user is in while scrolling through the menu items. This improves software map navigation dramatically. Upon entry into a menu, the title is displayed (such as CAL), and then the title disappears to make way for the actual menu item. However, the icon stays on.
HOLD The HOLD icon indicates that the current output of the
transmitter has been put into output hold. In this case, the output is locked to the last input value measured when the HOLD function was entered. HOLD values are retained even if the unit power is cycled.
FAIL The FAIL icon indicates that the system diagnostic function
has detected a problem that requires immediate attention. This icon is automatically cleared once the problem has been resolved.

ATI Q46D-ODO Optical D.O. System Part 5 – Configuration
Relay Area A/B The relay area contains two icons that indicate the state of
the system relays. Relay C is normally configured for FAIL indication, so it is only displayed on the lower MEASURE display line.
5.2 Software
The software of the Q46D is organized in an easy to follow menu-based system. All user settings are organized under five menu sections: Measure, Calibration [CAL], Configuration [CONFIG], Control [CONTROL] and Diagnostics [DIAG].
Note: The default Measure Menu is display-only and has no menu icon.
5.21 Software Navigation
Within the CAL, CONFIG, CONTROL, and DIAG menu sections is a list of selectable items. Once a menu section (such as CONFIG) has been selected with the MENU key, the user can access the item list in this section by pressing either the ENTER key or the UP arrow key. The list items can then be scrolled through using the UP arrow key. Once the last item is reached, the list wraps around and the first list item is shown again. The items in the menu sections are organized such that more frequently used functions are first, while more permanent function settings are later in the list. See Figure 17 for a visual description of the software.
Each list item allows a change to a stored system variable. List items are designed in one of two forms: simple single variable, or multiple variable sequences. In the single variable format, the user can quickly modify one parameter - for example, changing temperature display units from °F to °C. In the multiple variable sequences, variables are changed as the result of some process. For example, the calibration of oxygen generally requires more than one piece of information to be entered. The majority of the menu items in the software consist of the single variable format type.

Any data that may be changed will be flashing. This flashing indicates user entry mode and is initiated by pressing the ENTER key. The UP arrow key will increase a flashing digit from 0 to 9. The LEFT arrow key moves the flashing digit from right to left. Once the change has been completed, pressing ENTER again stores the variable and stops the flashing. Pressing ESC aborts the change and also exits user entry mode.
The starting (default) screen is always the Measure Menu. The UP arrow key is used to select the desired display. From anywhere in this section the user can press the MENU key to select one of the four Menu Sections.
The UP arrow icon next to all list items on the display is a reminder to scroll through the list using the UP arrow key.
To select a list item for modification, first select the proper menu with the MENU key. Scroll to the list item with the UP arrow key and then press the ENTER key. This tells the system that the user wishes to perform a change on that item. For single item type screens, once the user presses the ENTER key, part or all of the variable will begin to flash, indicating that the user may modify that variable using the arrow keys. However, if the instrument is locked, the transmitter will display the message Locked! and will not enter user entry mode. The instrument must be unlocked by entering the proper code value to allow authorized changes to user entered values. Once the variable has been reset, pressing the ENTER key again causes the change to be stored and the flashing to stop. The message Accepted! will be displayed if the change is within pre-defined variable limits. If the user decides not to modify the value after it has already been partially changed, pressing the ESC key aborts the modification and returns the entry to its original stored value.
In a menu item which is a multiple variable sequence type, once the ENTER key is pressed there may be several prompts and sequences that are run to complete the modification. The ESC key can always be used to abort the sequence without changing any stored variables.

5.22 Measure Menu [MEASURE]
The default menu for the system is the display-only menu MEASURE. This menu is a display-only measurement menu, and has no changeable list items. When left alone, the instrument will automatically return to this menu after approximately 30 minutes. While in the default menu, the UP arrow allows the user to scroll through the secondary variables on the lower line of the display. A brief description of the fields in the basic transmitter version is as follows:
TRANSMITTER MEAS SCREENS:
25.7C Temperature display. Can be displayed in C or F,
depending on user selection. A small “m” on the left side of the screen indicates the transmitter has automatically jumped to a manual 25C setting due to a failure with the temperature signal input.
320 mV Raw sensor signal. Useful for diagnosing problems.
100% 20.00 mA PID Status screen (if enabled.) Shows the present controller
output level on left, and actual transmitter current on the right. The controller can be placed in manual while viewing this screen by pressing and holding the ENTER key for 5 seconds until a small flashing “m” appears on the screen. At that point the controller output can be adjusted up or down using the UP and LEFT arrow keys. To return to automatic operation, press and hold the ENTER key for 5 seconds and the “M” will disappear.
#1 4.00 mA Analyzer output current # 1.
#2 12.00 mA Analyzer output current # 2.
#3 20.00 mA Analyzer output current # 3 (if option included.)
Aux relay= D,E,F Auxilliary relay annunciators (if option included.)
Slope = 100% Sensor output response vs. ideal calibration. This value
updates after each calibration. As the sensor ages, the slope reading will decay indicating sensor aging. Useful for resolving sensor problems.
Offset = 0.0 mV Sensor output signal at a zero ppm input. This value updates
after a zero-calibration has been performed. Useful for resolving sensor problems.

0.00 PPM D.O. Reading in PPM (or mg/L if selected under Instr Type)
% Saturation The most common display of D.O. in water is either PPM or
mg/L units. However, the same PPM value at different water temperatures can represent quite different concentrations of oxygen in terms of the percent of saturation. This display simply indicates the % of oxygen saturation represented by the current PPM or mg/L display.
Q46D vX.XX Transmitter software version number.
Tcyc 24.0 hr Automatic sensor cleaning frequency (displayed only when
enabled by programming relay B for Cln1 or Cln2).
Note: A display test (all segments ON) can be actuated by pressing and
holding the ENTER key while viewing the model/version number on the lower line of the display.
The MEASURE screens are intended to be used as a very quick means of looking up critical values during operation or troubleshooting.
5.23 Calibration Menu [CAL]
The calibration menu contains items for frequent calibration of user parameters. There are four items in this list: Cal D.O., Cal Temp, Set Range, and Cal Zero.
Cal D.O. The oxygen calibration function allows the user to adjust the
transmitter span reading to match a reference solution, or to set the sensor zero point. See Part 6 - Calibration for more details.
Cal Temp The temperature calibration function allows the user to
adjust the offset of the temperature response by a small factor of ± 5°C. The temperature input is factory calibrated to very high accuracy. However, long cable lengths and junction boxes may degrade the accuracy of the temperature measurement in some extreme situations. Therefore, this feature is provided as an adjustment. See Part 6 ­Calibration for more details.
O&M Manual Rev-J (8/17)

5.24 Configuration Menu [CONFIG]
The Configuration Menu contains all of the general user settings:
Entry Lock This function allows the user to lock out unauthorized
tampering with instrument settings. All settings may be viewed while the instrument is locked, but they cannot be modified. The Entry Lock feature is a toggle-type setting; that is, entering the correct code will lock the transmitter and entering the correct code again will unlock it. The code is preset at a fixed value. Press ENTER to initiate user entry mode and the first digit will flash. Use arrow keys to modify value. See Spare Parts List at the end of this manual for the Q46D lock/unlock code. Press ENTER to toggle lock setting once code is correct. Incorrect codes do not change state of lock condition.
Set Delay The delay function sets the amount of damping on the
instrument. This function allows the user to apply a first order time delay function to the oxygen measurements being made. Both the display and the output value are affected by the degree of damping. Functions such as calibration are not affected by this parameter. The calibration routines contain their own filtering and stability monitoring functions to minimize the calibration timing. Press ENTER to initiate user entry mode, and the value will flash. Use the arrow keys to modify value; range is 0.1 to 9.9 minutes. Press ENTER to store the new value.
Contrast This function sets the contrast level for the display. The
custom display is designed with a wide temperature range and contains an LED back light so that the display is can be seen in the dark.
Press ENTER to initiate user entry mode, and the value will
flash. Use arrow keys to modify the value; range is 0 to 8 (0 being lightest). Press ENTER to update and store the new value.
Instr Type This function allows the user to change the type of
measurement to be displayed in the primary display area. The user may select “1 PPM”¸ “2 mg/L, or “3 %Sat”. There is not a great deal of difference between type 1 and 2 settings as PPM and mg/L measurement units are pretty close to the same.
O&M Manual Rev-J (8/17)

Page 34
ATI Q46D-ODO Optical D.O. System Part 5 – Configuration
Programming for type 3 percent saturation changes the measured parameter to read a dissolved oxygen value that represents the percent of oxygen saturation at a given temperature. When this unit of measurement is selected, the main analog output and all alarm and control functions will relate to this measurement. While a PPM measurement is displayed on the lower line, it is no longer the primary variable being measured by the system. Press ENTER to initiate user entry mode, and the selected value will flash. Use the UP arrow key to modify the desired display value. Press ENTER to store the new value.
Zero Filter The Q46D allows the user to program a value near zero
below which the monitor will read zero. Because sensors rarely have a perfect zero stability, this zero filter eliminates occasional displays of numbers that are not meaningful. For instance, setting a zero filter at 0.03 PPM D.O. will cause any measured values of 0.01 or 0.02 PPM to be displayed as 0.00 PPM.
Atm Pres The Q46D instrument utilizes the atmospheric pressure
value as an input for the calculation of a theoretical ppm value during a saturation calibration. The input default units are inHg (inches Mercury) since these units are easy to obtain from most local weather services or from the general chart located on page 66 of this manual. This value is only entered during initial installation – it does not need to be modified at every calibration. Press ENTER to initiate user entry mode and the entire value will flash. Use the arrow keys to modify the value; range is 20.00 to 31.50 inHg.
The reference table on page 66 is provided to convert inHg
from several other common air pressure units. Press ENTER to store the new value.
Proc Cond The Q46 instrument also utilizes the process conductivity
value as an input for the calculation of a theoretical ppm value during a saturation calibration. This value is only required to be entered during initial installation - it does not need to be modified at every calibration. Press ENTER to initiate user entry mode and the value will flash. Use the arrow keys to modify the value; range is 0.00 to 76.00 mS/cm. Press ENTER to store the new value.
O&M Manual Rev-J (8/17)
34
Page 35
ATI Q46D-ODO Optical D.O. System Part 5 – Configuration
Note: If the user will not be changing solution conductivity
dramatically during the calibration process, leave a default setting of 00.50 mS/cm. For ultrapure water applications, set this value to 0.00. For sea water applications, set this value to 53.00.
Com Mode Sets digital communication mode of analyzer. Optional
digital communication card must be plugged into the power supply slot for this function to work. Press ENTER to initiate user entry mode, and the entire value will flash. Use the UP arrow key to modify the desired value; selections include 1­None, 2- P-DP for Profibus DP, 3 – Modbus, 4 – Ethernet IP. Press ENTER to store the new value.
Com Address Sets bus address for digital communication mode of
analyzer. Optional digital communication card must be plugged into the power supply slot for this function to work.
Press ENTER to initiate user entry mode, and the entire
value will flash. Use the UP arrow key to modify the desired value. Range is 1-125. Press ENTER to store the new value.
Iout#1 Mode This function sets analog output #1 to either track PPM or
mg/L oxygen (default), % Saturation, or enables the PID controller to operate on the oxygen input in either PPM, mg/L, or % Saturation. Press ENTER to initiate user entry mode, and the entire value will flash. Use the UP arrow key to modify the desired value; selections include 1- for oxygen tracking or 2-PID for oxygen PID control. Press ENTER to store the new value.
*Iout#2 Mode This function sets analog output #2 for either temperature
(default) or oxygen. Press ENTER to initiate user entry mode, and the entire value will flash. Use the UP arrow key to modify the desired value; selections include 1-C/F for temperature, or 2-ppm for oxygen, or 3-% Saturation. Press ENTER to store the new value.
O&M Manual Rev-J (8/17)
35
Page 36
ATI Q46D-ODO Optical D.O. System Part 5 – Configuration
*Iout#3 Mode OPTIONAL. This function sets analog output #3 for either
temperature (default) or D.O. Press ENTER to initiate user entry mode, and the entire value will flash. Use the UP arrow key to modify the desired value; selections include 1­C/F for temperature or 2-ppm for oxygen. Press ENTER to store the new value.
*Rly A Mode Relay A can be used in three different ways: as a setpoint
control, as a fail alarm, or as a HI-LO alarm band. The three settings for Rly A Mode are CON, FAIL and AL.
The CON setting enables normal control operation for Relay
A, with settings for setpoint, hysteresis, delay and phasing appearing in the CONFIG menu automatically. See Figure 18 for further details.
The FAIL setting enables the fail alarm mode for Relay A.
Relay A will then trip on any condition that causes the FAIL icon to be displayed on the LCD. Using this mode allows the User to send alarm indications to other remote devices.
The AL setting allows two setpoints to be selected for the
same relay, producing a HI-LO alarm band. In this mode, Relay A will trip inside or outside of the band, depending upon the Phase selected. See Figure 19 for further details.
*Relay B Mode Relay B can be used in a number of ways: as a setpoint
control, as an alarm, or as the control logic for an automatic sensor cleaning system. The settings for Relay B Mode are CON, FAIL, CLn1 and CLn2. The first two modes function identically to the corresponding modes on Relay A.
The CLn1 and CLn2 modes of operation enable the timer
feature for the automatic sensor cleaner. Once enabled, a periodic automatic cleaning cycle will occur where a jet of air is blown past the sensor membrane to dislodge any contaminants which may have accumulated. During the cleaning cycle, the outputs of the system are held (analog outputs and relays) so that the cleaning cycle is invisible to recording instrumentation, which may be connected. These outputs are released in a “bumpless” manner once the system automatically returns to the monitoring mode. The timer consists of three menu items which will appear in the CNTRL menu: Timer B CLEAN, Timer B CYCLE, and Timer B HOLD. The CLEAN function engages the relay B contact
O&M Manual Rev-J (8/17)
36
Page 37
ATI Q46D-ODO Optical D.O. System Part 5 – Configuration
for a set time to operate the cleaning pump. The CYCLE function sets the time until the next CLEAN cycle. The HOLD setting sets the amount of delay that occurs after a cleaning cycle to let the outputs return to normal. See these specific function descriptions listed below for more detail.
NOTE: When CLn1 is enabled, the setting for Timer
Clean defaults to 1 minute and this value is locked. When CLn2 is enabled, the setting for Timer Clean can be changed. CLn1 should be selected when the ATI Auto-Clean system is used, and CLn2 should be selected if an alternate cleaning system is used.
Relay C Mode Relay C can be used in two ways: as a setpoint control, or
as an alarm. The two settings for Relay C Mode are CON and FAIL.
The CON setting enables normal setpoint operation for
Relay B/C. Relay B/C then operates identically to Relay A, with settings for setpoint, hysteresis, delay and phasing appearing in the CONFIG menu automatically. See Figure 18 for details.
The FAIL setting enables the fail alarm mode for Relay B/C.
Relay B/C will then trip on any condition that causes the FAIL icon to be displayed on the LCD. Note that the Relay C indicator shows up only on the lower screen of the display next to the temperature reading. This is because the default setting for relay C is the FAIL setting. Using this mode allows the User to send alarm indications to other remote devices. See Figure 19 for details.
*Relay D Mode *Relay E Mode *Relay F Mode OPTIONAL. Relays D,E, and F can be used in two ways: as
a setpoint control, or as an alarm. The two settings for Relay B Mode are CON and FAIL.
The CON setting enables normal setpoint operation for
Relay B. Relay B then operates identically to Relay A, with settings for setpoint, hysteresis, delay and phasing appearing in the CONFIG menu automatically. See Error! Reference source not found. for details.

Temp Units This function sets the display units for temperature
measurement. Press ENTER to initiate user entry mode, and the entire value will flash. Use the UP arrow key to modify the desired display value. The choices are °F and
°C. Press ENTER to store the new value.
5.25 Control Menu [CONTROL]
The Control Menu contains all of the output control user settings. Note that PID
menu items will not appear unless output 1 is configured for PID mode in the CONFIG menu.
Set PID 0% Set PID 100%
[Iout1=PID] If the PID is enabled, this function sets the minimum and
maximum controller end points. Unlike the standard 4-20 mA output, the controller does not “scale” output values across the endpoints. Rather, the endpoints determine where the controller would normally force minimum or maximum output in an attempt to recover the setpoint (even though the controller can achieve 0% or 100% anywhere within the range.)
If the 0% point is lower than the 100% point, then the
controller action will be “reverse” acting. That is, the output of the controller will increase if the measured value is less than the setpoint, and the output will decrease if the measured value is larger than the setpoint. Flipping the stored values in these points will reverse the action of the controller to “direct” mode.
The entry value is limited to a value within the range
specified in “Set Range”, and the 0% and the 100% point must be separated by at least 1% of this range Use the LEFT arrow key to select the first digit to be modified. Then use the UP and LEFT arrow keys to select the desired numerical value. Press ENTER to store the new value.
PID Setpnt
[Iout1=PID] The measured value which the controller is attempting to
maintain by adjusting output value. It is the nature of the PID controller that it never actually gets to the exact value and stops. The controller is continually making smaller and smaller adjustments as the measured value gets near the setpoint.
38
O&M Manual Rev-J (8/17)
Page 39
ATI Q46D-ODO Optical D.O. System Part 5 – Configuration
PID Prop
[Iout1=PID] Proportional gain factor. The proportional gain value is a
multiplier on the controller error (difference between measured value and setpoint value.) Increasing this value will make the controller more responsive.
PID Int
[Iout1=PID] Integral is the number of “repeats-per-minute” of the action
of the controller. It is the number of times per minute that the controller acts on the input error. At a setting of 2.0 rpm, there are two repeats every minute. If the integral is set to zero, a fixed offset value is added to the controller (manual reset.) Increasing this value will make the controller more responsive.
PID Deriv
[Iout1=PID] Derivative is a second order implementation of Integral, used
to suppress “second-order” effects from process variables. These variables may include items like pumps or mixers that may have minor impacts on the measured value. The derivative factor is rarely used in water treatment process, and therefore, it is best in most cases to leave it at the default value. Increasing this value will make the controller more responsive.
Set 4 mA
Set 20 mA [Iout1=D.O.] These functions set the main 4 and 20 mA current loop
output points for the transmitter. The units displayed depend on the selection made in the CONFIG menu for Iout #1 Mode. Also, when the Relay Option Board is installed, the units will also display #1 or #2 – since there are actually two analog outputs present in this version.
The value stored for the 4 mA point may be higher or lower
than the value stored for the 20 mA point. The entry values are limited to values within the range specified in “Set Range”, and the 4 mA and the 20 mA point must be separated by at least 1% of this range Use the LEFT arrow key to select the first digit to be modified. Then use the UP and LEFT arrow keys to select the desired numerical value. Press ENTER to store the new value.
O&M Manual Rev-J (8/17)
39
Page 40
ATI Q46D-ODO Optical D.O. System Part 5 – Configuration
*Set 4 mA #2 *Set 20 mA #2 [temp/D.O.] These functions set the second 4 mA and 20 mA current
loop output points for the transmitter. The output may be set to track temperature (default), PPM oxygen, or % Saturation. The values stored for the 4 mA point may be higher or lower than the value stored for the 20 mA point.
The entry value is limited to a value between 0 and 50 °C if it
is set for temperature. The 4 mA and the 20 mA point must be at least 20 units away from each other. Press ENTER to initiate user entry mode, and the value will flash. Use arrow keys to modify value. Press ENTER to store the new value.
NOTE: If the temperature units are changed between °C and
°F (see Temp Units in this section), the default settings for this output will be stored (present data is not converted.)
*Set 4 mA #3 *Set 20 mA #3 [temp/D.O.] OPTIONAL. These functions set the optional third 4 mA and
20 mA current loop output points for the analyzer. The output may be set to track temperature (default) or D.O. The values stored for the 4 mA point may be higher or lower than the value stored for the 20 mA point.
The entry value is limited to a value between 0 and 55 °C if it
is set for temperature. The 4 mA and the 20 mA point must be at least 20 units away from each other. Press ENTER to initiate user entry mode, and the value will flash. Use arrow keys to modify value. Press ENTER to store the new value.
*A Setpoint This function establishes the oxygen trip point for relay A.
The entry value is limited to a value within the range specified in “Set Range”. Use the LEFT arrow key to select the first digit to be modified. Then use the UP and LEFT arrow keys to select the desired numerical value. Press ENTER to store the new value.
*A Hysteresis This function establishes the hysteresis, or “deadband”, for
Relay A. Hysteresis is most often used to control relay chattering; however, it may also be used in control schemes to separate the ON/OFF trip points of the relay. Press ENTER to initiate user entry mode, and the value will flash.

Use the arrow keys to modify value. Press ENTER to store the new value.
*A Delay This function places an additional amount of time delay on
the trip point for relay A. This delay is in addition to the main delay setting for the controller. The entry value is limited to a value between 0 and 999 seconds. Press ENTER to initiate user entry mode, and the value will flash. Use arrow keys to modify value; range is 0 to 999 seconds. Press ENTER to store the new value.
*A Phasing This function establishes the direction of the relay trip.
When phase is HI, the relay operates in a direct mode. Therefore, the relay energizes and the LCD indicator illuminates when the oxygen value exceeds the setpoint. When the phase is LO, the relay energizes and the LCD indicator illuminates when the oxygen level drops below the setpoint. The failsafe setting does have an impact on this logic. The description here assumes the failsafe setting is OFF. Press ENTER to initiate user entry mode, and the entire value will flash. Use the UP arrow key to modify the desired value; selections include HI for direct operation or LO for reverse operation. Press ENTER to store the new value.

Once HOLD is released, the outputs return to their normal state of following the process input. The transfer out of HOLD is bumpless on the both analog outputs - that is, the transfer occurs in a smooth manner rather than as an abrupt change. An icon on the display indicates the HOLD state, and the HOLD state is retained even if power is cycled. Press ENTER to initiate user entry mode, and entire value will flash.

Fault List The Fault List screen is a read-only screen that allows the
user to display the cause of the highest priority failure. The screen indicates the number of faults present in the system and a message detailing the highest priority fault present. Note that some faults can result in multiple displayed failures due to the high number of internal tests occurring. As faults are corrected, they are immediately cleared.
Faults are not stored; therefore, they are immediately
removed if power is cycled. If the problem causing the faults still exists, however, faults will be displayed again after power is re-applied and a period of time elapses during which the diagnostic system re-detects them. The exception to this rule is the calibration failure. When a calibration fails, no corrupt data is stored. Therefore, the system continues to function normally on the data that was present before the calibration was attempted.
After 30 minutes or if power to the transmitter is cycled, the
failure for calibration will be cleared until calibration is attempted again. If the problem still exists, the calibration failure will re-occur. Press ENTER to initiate view of the highest priority failure. The display will automatically return to normal after a few seconds.
PID Timer This function sets a timer to monitor the amount of time the
PID controller remains at 0% or 100%. This function only appears if the PID controller is enabled. If the timer is set to 0000, the feature is effectively disabled. If the timer value is set to any number other zero, a FAIL condition will occur if the PID controller remains at 0% or 100% for the timer value. If one of the relays are set to FAIL mode, this failure condition can be signaled by a changing relay contact.
Press ENTER to initiate user entry mode, and the entire
value will flash. Use the UP arrow key to modify desired value; range of value is 0-9999 seconds. Press ENTER to store the new value.
Sim Out The Sim Out function allows the user to simulate the oxygen
level of the instrument in the user selected display range. The user enters a ppm value directly onto the screen, and the output responds as if it were actually receiving the signal from the sensor. This allows the user to check the function of attached monitoring equipment during set-up or

The starting display value will be the last read value of the
input. The output will be under control of the SIM screen until the ESC key is pressed.
Note: If the HOLD function is engaged before the Sim Output
function is engaged, the simulated output will remain the same even when the ESC key is pressed. Disengage the HOLD function to return to normal output.
Fail Out #1 This function enables the user to define a specified value
that the main current output will go to under fault conditions. When the Relay Option Board is installed, the display will read Fail Out #1. When enabled to ON, the output may be forced to the current value set in Fail Val (next item.) With the Fail Out setting of ON, and a Fail Val setting of 6.5 mA, any alarm condition will cause the current loop output to drop outside the normal operating range to exactly 6.5 mA, indicating a system failure that requires attention.
Press ENTER to initiate user entry mode, and the entire
value will flash. Use the UP arrow key to modify desired value; selections are ON, OFF. Press ENTER to store the new value.
Fail Val #1 Sets the output failure value for Iout#1. When Fail Out
above is set to ON, this function sets value of the current loop under a FAIL condition. When the Relay Option Board is installed, the display will read Fail Out #1. The output may be forced to any current value between 4-20 mA.
Press ENTER to initiate user entry mode, and the entire
value will flash. Use the UP arrow key to modify desired value; selections are between 4mA, and 20mA. Press ENTER to store the new value.
Fail Out #2 This function sets the fail-mode of current loop output #2
under a FAIL condition. The settings and operation are identical to Fail Out for output #1.

*Fail Val #3 OPTIONAL. This function sets the value of current loop
output #3 under a FAIL condition. The settings and operation are identical to Fail Out for output #1.
Backlight This function has three options. ON – On all the time, OFF
Off all the time, AL – Alarm (Default). This function flashes the backlight on and off whenever the Fail icon is displayed.
Start Delay This function is designed to minimize control or alarm issues
arising from temporary power loss. When power goes down, the monitor records the analog output values and the status of relays and PID functions. When power is restored, the analog values and relays will be held at the pre-power loss values for a defined period of time. This “start delay” may be programmed for periods from 0-9.9 minutes. This function is set to 0.0 minutes by default and must be activated by the user if desired by setting a positive time value.
*Failsafe This function allows the user to set the optional system
relays to a failsafe condition. In a failsafe condition, the relay logic is reversed so that the relay is electrically energized in a normal operating state. By doing this, the relay will not only change state when, for example, an oxygen limit is exceeded, but also when power is lost to the controller.
When failsafe is selected to be ON, the normally-open
contacts of the relay will be closed during normal operation. In an attempt to make this configuration less confusing, the LCD icon logic is reversed with this setting, and the icon is OFF under this normal condition. Therefore, when the trip condition occurs, the closed N.O. contacts will be opened (relay de-energized), and the LCD icon will illuminate. In addition, a power fail would also cause the same contacts to open.

instrument back to factory default data for all user settings or for just the calibration default. It is intended to be used as a last resort troubleshooting procedure. All user settings or the calibration settings are returned to the original factory values. Hidden factory calibration data remains unchanged. Press ENTER to initiate user entry mode and select either CAL or ALL with the UP arrow key. The default CAL routine will reset the zero offset to 0.0 nA and reset the slope to 100%. The default ALL routine will reset all program variables to factory default and should be used with care since it will change any user settings that were programmed in the field.

Part 6 – Calibration
6.1 General
The instrument must be calibrated periodically to maintain a high degree of measurement accuracy. A complete calibration will include zeroing and spanning the sensor. It is generally unnecessary to set the zero at every calibration, but it should be done during the initial installation.
The output of the optical dissolved oxygen sensor will degrade very slowly over the lifetime of the optical element, which is normally 3-5 years. To account for this degradation, the Q46D system should be re-calibrated about every 6 months. The frequency of calibration must be determined by the application. High temperature applications or applications involving other extreme operating conditions may require more frequent calibration than those operating at more ambient levels. It is important for the user to establish a periodic calibration schedule for a particular application. Before calibrating with a new sensor for the first time, or whenever a sensor has been left unpowered for 10 days or more, first connect the sensor to the transmitter and allow the system to operate for at least 2 hours to allow for sensor stabilization and hydration of the optical element. Once the sensor has been properly conditioned, the user must select the proper operating parameters, including atmospheric pressure and solution conductivity.
The system provides three methods of D.O. calibration: 1-Point (sample), % Saturation (air cal), and Zero. These three methods are significantly different.
6.11 D.O. Span Cal (1-spl)
The 1-Point (sample or comparison) method is intended to be primarily used as an on-line calibration; however, the sensor can be removed, cleaned and then calibrated in a bucket of clean water if necessary. During calibration, the system will display the current ppm reading and the user can manually enter a reference value from a lab sample or comparative reference instrument. In the Q46D system, the 1-Point calibration adjusts the slope of the sensor output response.
1. Determine whether the calibration will be done on-line or with the sensor removed and placed into a bucket of clean water. If the sensor is removed from the application, rinse and clean if necessary.

2. If the sensor has been removed and placed into a bucket of water, allow sensor to temperature equilibrate with the solution as much as possible. With the sensor coming from an application which differs greatly in temperature, the user may have to wait as much as 20 minutes. If the sensor is on-line, the user may want to set the output HOLD feature prior to calibration to lock out any output fluctuations.
3. Scroll to the CAL menu section using the MENU key and press ENTER or the UP arrow key. Cal DO will then be displayed.
4. Press the ENTER key. The screen will display a flashing 1-spl for 1­point, a 2-%sat for Saturation calibration, or a 3-zer for zero calibration. Using the UP arrow key, set for a 1-spl calibration and press ENTER.
5. The system now begins acquiring data for the calibration value. As data is gathered, the units for ppm and temperature may flash. Flashing units indicate that this parameter is unstable. The calibration data point acquisition will stop only when the data remains stable for a pre-determined amount of time. This can be overridden by pressing ENTER.
6. If the data remains unstable for 10 minutes, the calibration will fail and the message Cal Unstable will be displayed.
7. The screen will display the last measured ppm value and a message will be displayed prompting the user for the lab value. The user must then modify the screen value with the arrow keys and press ENTER. The system then performs the proper checks.
8. If accepted, the screen will display the message PASS with the new slope reading, and then it will return to the main measurement display. If the calibration fails, a message indicating the cause of the failure will be displayed and the FAIL icon will be turned on.

6.12 Dissolved Oxygen Air Span Cal (% sat)
This is the recommended method for air temperatures greater than about 10C; however, it requires that the sensor be removed from the process and cleaned. Once cleaned, the sensor is held in air and allowed time to adjust to the air temperature. As the sensor temperature equilibrates, the transmitter automatically calculates the new 100% saturation point utilizing the temperature readings and the barometric pressure user data located on page 71. This method therefore requires no user input during calibration. Note: It is very important to allow enough time for the
sensor to completely temperature equilibrate with the surrounding air. This time is at least 10 minutes.
This method requires that the sensor be removed from the process, cleaned, and Covered, shielding the sensor from direct sunlight. The sensor membrane must be dry for this procedure, and not submerged in liquid. This method requires no user input during calibration; however, if this is the first time the system is being installed and calibrated, make sure to enter the proper atmospheric pressure data and process conductivity data prior to calibration.
1. Remove the sensor from the process. Clean and rinse if necessary
with water, paying particular attention to cleaning the membrane.
2. Cover the sensor, if necessary, to shield it from the direct rays of the sun. Remember, the membrane must not be submerged - it must be in the air letting the sensor hang, membrane downward, while powered.
3. Allow the system to operate undisturbed for at least 20 minutes. If the
system is stable, the value on the display will increase to some PPM value and remain at that level. At that point, calibration can continue.
4. Scroll to the CAL menu section using the MENU key and press ENTER
or the UP arrow key. Cal D.O. will then be displayed.
5. Press the ENTER key. The screen will display a flashing 1-spl for 1­point, a 2-%sat for Saturation air calibration, or a 3-zer for zero calibration. Using the UP arrow key, set for a 2-sat span calibration and press ENTER.
6. The display will prompt the user to hold the sensor in air and press ENTER. If the sensor has already been removed from the process and reached temperature equilibrium, press the ENTER key.

7. The system now begins acquiring data for the calibration value. As
data is gathered, the units for ppm and temperature may flash. Flashing units indicate that this parameter is unstable.
8. The calibration data point acquisition will stop only when the data remains stable for a pre-determined amount of time (approximately 15­20 seconds.) This can be overridden by pressing ENTER. If the data remains unstable for 10 minutes, the calibration will fail and the message Cal Unstable will be displayed.
9. If accepted, the screen will display the message PASS with the new sensor slope reading, and then it will return to the main measurement display. If the calibration fails, a message indicating the cause of the failure will be displayed and the FAIL icon will be turned on.
10. The range of acceptable values for sensor slope is 20% to 500%. It may be necessary to rebuild the sensor as described in section 5, Dissolved Oxygen Sensor Assembly.
Should the slope value remain out of range and result in calibration failures, review the Service Section of this manual, then contact the Service Dept. at ATI for further assistance.
6.13 Dissolved Oxygen Zero Cal
Dissolved oxygen sensors have extremely low offset outputs at zero. For this reason, it is normally sufficient to simply leave the zero at the factory default of 0 mV unless longer cable lengths are added to the sensor. As an alternative if non-standard cable lengths are added, a zero can be set by sensor from the performing the steps below.
For total cable length of: Off-set Zero 30 m (98 ft) 0.96 mV 50 m (164 ft) 1.39 mV 60 m (200 ft) 1.90 mV
These steps below assume that the sensor has been connected to the monitor with the monitor powered for 2 hours. During this period, the sensor should be wet.
1. Remove the sensor from the application if necessary. Clean and rinse if required.
O&M Manual Rev-J (8/17)
51

ATI Q46D-ODO Optical D.O. System Part 6 - Calibration
2. Place about an inch of zero solution in a small beaker or other convenient container and immerse the tip of the sensor. Allow the sensor to sit undisturbed for at least 15 minutes. Suspend sensor, DO NOT LET SENSOR SIT ON TIP.
3. Scroll to the CAL menu section using the MENU key and press ENTER or the UP arrow key. Cal D.O. will then be displayed.
4. Press the ENTER key. The screen will display a flashing 1-spl for 1­point, a 2-%sat for Saturation air calibration, or a 3-zer for zero calibration. Using the UP arrow key, set for a 3-Zer zero calibration and press ENTER.
5. The system now begins acquiring data for the sensor zero calibration value. As data is gathered, the units for sensor millivolts (mV) and temperature may flash. Flashing units indicate that this parameter is unstable. The calibration data point acquisition will stop only when the data remains stable for a pre-determined amount of time. This can be overridden by pressing ENTER.
6. If the data remains unstable for 10 minutes, the calibration will fail and the message Cal Unstable will be displayed.
7. If accepted, the screen will display the message PASS with the new sensor zero reading (offset), then it will return to the main measurement display. If the calibration fails, a message indicating the cause of the failure will be displayed and the FAIL icon will be turned on. The range of acceptable value for sensor offset is -40 mV to +40 mV. Review the Service section of this manual, and then contact the service dept. at ATI for further assistance.
The sensor offset value in mV from the last zero calibration is displayed on the lower line of the Default Menus for information purposes.
6.2 Temperature Calibration
The temperature calibration sequence is essentially a 1-point offset calibration that allows adjustments of approximately ± 5°C. If sensor cable lengths beyond the standard cable length are being used the resistance of this added cable will affect the temperature accuracy and will have to be off-set to compensate for this added resistance.

The sensor temperature may be calibrated on line, or the sensor can be removed from the process and placed into a known solution temperature reference. In any case, it is critical that the sensor be allowed to reach temperature equilibrium with the solution in order to provide the highest accuracy. When moving the sensor between widely different temperature conditions, it may be necessary to allow the sensor to stabilize as much as one hour before the calibration sequence is initiated. If the sensor is on­line, the user may want to set the output HOLD feature prior to calibration to lock out any output fluctuations.
1. Scroll to the CAL menu section using the MENU key and press ENTER or the UP arrow key.
2. Press the UP arrow key until Cal Temp is displayed.
3. Press the ENTER key. The message Place sensor in solution then press ENTER will be displayed. Move the sensor into the calibration reference (if it hasn’t been moved already) and wait for temperature equilibrium to be achieved. Press ENTER to begin the calibration sequence.
4. The calibration data gathering process will begin. The message Wait will flash as data is accumulated and analyzed. The °C or °F symbol may flash periodically if the reading is too unstable.
5. The message Adjust value - press ENTER will be displayed, and the right-most digit will begin to flash, indicating that the value can be modified. Using the UP and LEFT arrow keys, modify the value to the known ref solution temperature. Adjustments up to ± 5°C from the factory calibrated temperature are allowed. Press ENTER.
Once completed, the display will indicate PASS or FAIL. If the unit fails, the temperature adjustment may be out of range, the sensor may not have achieved complete temperature equilibrium, or there may be a problem with the temperature element. In the event of calibration failure, it is recommended to attempt the calibration again immediately.

Part 7 – PID Controller Details
7.1 PID Description
PID control, like many other control schemes, are used in chemical control to improve the efficiency of chemical addition or control. By properly tuning the control loop that controls chemical addition, only the amount of chemical that is truly required is added to the system, saving money. The savings can be substantial when compared to a system which may be simply adding chemical at a constant rate to maintain some minimal addition under even the worst case conditions. The PID output controller is highly advantageous over simple control schemes that just utilize direct (proportional only) 4-20 mA output connections for control, since the PID controller can automatically adjust the “rate” of recovery based on the error between the setpoint and the measured value – which can be a substantial efficiency improvement..
The PID controller is basically designed to provide a “servo” action on the 4-20 mA output to control a process. If the user requires that a measured process stay as close as possible to a specific setpoint value, the controller output will change from 0% to 100% in an effort to keep the process at the setpoint. To affect this control, the controller must be used with properly selected control elements (valves, proper chemicals, etc.) that enable the controller to add or subtract chemical rapidly enough. This is not only specific to pumps and valves, but also to line sizes, delays in the system, etc.
This section is included to give a brief description of tuning details for the PID controller, and is not intended to be an exhaustive analysis of the complexities of PID loop tuning. Numerous sources are available for specialized methods of tuning that are appropriate for a specific application.
7.2 PID Algorithm
As most users of PID controllers realize, the terminology for the actual algorithm terms and even the algorithms themselves can vary between different manufacturers. This is important to recognize as early as possible, since just plugging in similar values from one controller into another can result in dramatically different results. There are various basic forms of PID algorithms that are commonly seen, and the implementation here is the most common version; The ISA algorithm (commonly referred to as the “ideal” algorithm.)

Where:
output = controller output P = proportional gain I = integral gain D = derivative gain t = time e(t) = controller error (e=measured variable – setpoint)
Figure 20 - Q46 ISA (Ideal) Equation
The most notable feature of the algorithm is the fact the proportional gain term affects all components directly (unlike some other algorithms - like the “series” form.) If a pre-existing controller utilizes the same form of the algorithm shown above, it is likely similar settings can for made if the units on the settings are exactly the same. Be careful of this, as many times the units are the reciprocals of each other (i.e. reps-per-min, sec-per-rep.)
PID stands for “proportional, integral, derivative.” These terms describe the three elements of the complete controller action, and each contributes a specific reaction in the control process. The PID controller is designed to be primarily used in a “closed-loop” control scheme, where the output of the controller directly affects the input through some control device, such as a pump, valve, etc.
Although the three components of the PID are described in the setting area (section 6.25), here are more general descriptions of what each of the PID elements contribute to the overall action of the controller.
P Proportional gain. With no “I” or “D” contribution, the controller output is
simply a factor of the proportional gain multiplied by the input error (difference between the measured input and the controller setpoint.) Because a typical chemical control loop cannot react instantaneously to a correction signal, proportional gain is typically not efficient by itself – it must be combined with some integral action to be useful. Set the P term to a number between 2-4 to start. Higher numbers will cause the controller action to be quicker.
I Integral gain. Integral gain is what allows the controller to eventually drive
the input error to zero – providing accuracy to the control loop. It must be used to affect the accuracy in the servo action of the controller. Like proportional gain, increasing integral gain results in the control action happening quicker. Set the I term to a number between 3-5 to start (1-2 more than P). Like proportional gain, increasing the integral term will cause the controller action to be quicker.
++=
Dtdte
O&M Manual Rev-J (8/17)
55
Page 56
ATI Q46D-ODO Optical D.O. System Part 7 –PID Controller Details
D Derivative gain. The addition of derivative control can be problematic in
many applications, because it greatly contributes to oscillatory behavior. In inherently slow chemical control process’, differential control is generally added in very small amounts to suppress erratic actions in the process that are non-continuous, such as pumps and valves clicking on and off. However, as a starting point for chemical process control, its best to leave the “D” term set to 0.
Based on these descriptions, the focus on tuning for chemical applications really only involves adjustment of “P” and “I” in most cases. However, increasing both increases the response of the controller. The difference is in the time of recovery. Although combinations of high “P’s” and low “I” will appear to operate the same as combinations of low “P’s” and high “I’s”, there will be a difference in rate of recovery and stability. Because of the way the algorithm is structured, large “P’s” can have a larger impact to instability, because the proportional gain term impacts all the other terms directly. Therefore, keep proportional gain lower to start and increase integral gain to achieve the effect required.
Many of the classical tuning techniques have the user start with all values at 0, and then increase the P term until oscillations occur. The P value is then reduced to ½ of the oscillatory value, and the I term is increased to give the desired response. This can be done with the Q46D controller, with the exception that the I term should start no lower than 1.0.
If it appears that even large amounts of integral gain (>20) don’t appreciably increase the desired response, drop I back to about 1.0, and increase P by 1.00, and start increasing I again. In most chemical control schemes, I will be approximately 3 times the value of P.
7.3 Classical PID Tuning
Unlike many high speed position applications where PID loops are commonly used, the chemical feed application employed by this instrument does not require intense mathematical exercise to determine tuning parameters for the PID. In fact, the risk of instability is far greater with overly tuned PID control schemes. In addition, many of the classical mathematical exercises can be damaging or wasteful in the use of chemicals when the process is bumped with large amounts of input error to seek a response curve. Because of this, the general adjustment guidelines described in section 7.2 are sufficient for almost all application tuning for this instrument. Beyond this, many sources are available for classical tuning methods.

7.4 Manual PID Override Control
The Q46 electronics is equipped designed to allow the user to take manual control of the PID output. This is often useful when starting up a control loop, or in the event that you wish to bump the system manually to measure system response time.
To access the manual PID control, you must be in the MEASURE mode of operation and you must have the PID output displayed on the lower line. This line will indicate “XX.X% XX.X mA” with the X values simply indicating the current values. With this display on the screen, press and hold the ENTER key for about 5 seconds. You will see a small “m” show up between the % value and the mA value. This indicates you are now in manual mode.
Once in manual, you may increase the PID output by pressing the UP arrow or you may decrease the output by pressing the LEFT arrow. This will allow you to drive the PID output to any desired setting.
To revert to normal PID control, press and hold the ENTER key again until the “m” indicator disappears.
7.5 Common PID Pitfalls
The most common problem occurring in PID control applications involves the false belief that proper settings on only the PID controller can balance any process to an efficient level.
Close-loop control can only be effective if all elements in the loop are properly selected for the application, and the process behavior is properly understood. Luckily, the nature of simple chemical control process’ are generally slow in nature. Therefore, even a de-tuned controller (one that responds somewhat slowly) can still provide substantial improvements to setpoint control. In fact, damaging oscillatory behavior is far more likely in tightly tuned controllers where the user attempted to increase response too much.
When deciding on a PID control scheme, it is important to initially review all elements of the process. Sticking valves, undersized pumps, or delays in reaction times associated with chemical addition can have a dramatic effect on the stability of the control loop. When controlling a chemical mix or reaction, the sensor should be placed in a location that ensures proper mixing or reaction time has occurred.

ATI Q46D-ODO Optical D.O. System Part 7 –PID Controller Details
The easiest process’ to control with closed-loop schemes are generally linear, and symmetrical, in nature. For example, controlling level in tank where the opening of valve for a fixed period of time corresponds linearly to the amount that flows into a tank. Chemical control process’ can be more problematic when the nature of the setpoint value is non-linear relative to the input of chemical added. For example, D.O. control of a process may appear linear only in a certain range of operation, and become highly exponential at the extreme ranges of the measuring scale. In addition, if a chemical process is not symmetrical, that means it responds differentially to the addition and subtraction of chemical. It is important in these applications to study steady-state impact as well as step­change impact to process changes. In other words, once the process has apparently been tuned under normal operating conditions, the user should attempt to force a dramatic change to the input to study how the output reacts. If this is difficult to do with the actual process input (the recommended method), the user can place the control in manual at an extreme control point such as 5% or 95%, and release it in manual. The recovery should not be overly oscillatory. If so, the loop needs to be de-tuned to deal with that condition (reduce P and/or I.)

Part 8 – System Maintenance
8.1 General
The Q46D/60 Dissolved Oxygen System will generally provide unattended operation over long periods of time. With proper care, the system should continue to provide measurements indefinitely. For reliable operation, maintenance on the system must be done on a regular schedule. Keep in mind that preventive maintenance on a regular schedule is much less troublesome than emergency maintenance that always seems to come at the wrong time.
8.2 Analyzer Maintenance
No unusual maintenance of the analyzer is required if installed according to the guidelines of this operating manual. If the enclosure door is frequently opened and closed, it would be wise to periodically inspect the enclosure sealing gasket for breaks or tears.
8.3 Sensor Maintenance
Very little sensor maintenance is required for an optical D.O. system. The primary requirement is simply to keep the sensing area clean. The photo in section 3 of this manual shows the sensitive area. Inspect the sensor every few weeks visually just to verify that this area is clean. Wipe with a soft cloth if necessary.
The life of the optical element is likely to be greater than 2 years but less than 5 years. When the optical sensing element is expended, a new one can easily be installed.

Part 9 – Troubleshooting
9.1 General
The information included in this section is intended to be used in an attempt to quickly resolve an operational problem with the system. During any troubleshooting process, it will save the most time if the operator can first determine if the problem is related to the analyzer, sensor, or some external source. Therefore, this section is organized from the approach of excluding any likely external sources, isolating the analyzer, and finally isolating the sensor. If these procedures still do not resolve the operational problems, any results the operator may have noted here will be very helpful when discussing the problem with the factory technical support group.
9.2 External Sources of Problems
To begin this process, review the connections of the system to all
external connections.
1. Verify the analyzer is earth grounded. For all configurations of the analyzer, an earth ground connection MUST be present for the shielding systems in the electronics to be active. Grounded conduit provides no earth connection to the plastic enclosure, so an earth ground wiring connection must be made at the power input terminal strip. Use the special “shield terminal” stub on the power supply board for optimum sensor cable shield grounding.
2. Verify the proper power input is present (115/230 VAC.)
3. Verify the loads on any 4-20 mA outputs do not exceed the limits in the Instrument Specifications (500 Ohms each for analyzer.) During troubleshooting, it is many times helpful to disconnect all these outputs and place wire-shorts across the terminals in the instrument to isolate the system and evaluate any problems which may be coming down the analog output connections.
4. Do not run sensor cables or analog output wiring in the same conduits as power wiring. If low voltage signal cables must come near power wiring, cross them at 90° to minimize coupling.

5. If rigid conduit has been run directly to the Q46 enclosure, check for signs that moisture has followed conduit into the enclosure.
6. Check for ground loops. Although the sensor is electrically isolated from the process water, high frequency sources of electrical noise may still cause erratic behavior in extreme conditions. If readings are very erratic after wiring has been checked, check for a possible AC ground loop by temporarily placing the sensor into a bucket of water. The reading should be initially stable and then fall very slowly in a smooth fashion as the powered sensor depletes oxygen in the static sample directly at the sensor face.
7. On relay based systems, check the load that is connected to the relay contacts. Verify the load is within the contact rating of the relays. Relay contacts which have been used for higher power AC current loads may become unsuitable for very low signal DC loads later on because a small amount of pitting can form on the contacts. If the load is highly inductive (solenoids, motor starters, large aux relays), note that the contact rating will be de­rated to a lower level. Also, due to the large amount of energy present in circuits driving these types of loads when they are switched on an off, the relay wiring placement can result in electrical interference for other devices. This can be quickly resolved by moving wiring, or by adding very inexpensive snubbers (such As Quencharcs) to the load.
8. Carefully examine any junction box connections for loose wiring or bad wire stripping. If possible, connect the sensor directly to the analyzer for testing.
9. Check sensor for fouling. Look closely for signs of grease or oil which may be present.
9.3 Analyzer Tests
1. Disconnect power and completely disconnect all output wiring
coming from the analyzer. Remove sensor wiring, relay wiring, and analog output wiring. Re-apply power to the analyzer. Verify proper voltage (115 or 230 VAC) is present on the incoming power strip of the analyzer, and that the analyzer power label matches the proper voltage value.

2. If analyzer does not appear to power up (no display), remove power and check removable fuse for continuity with a DVM.
3. Using a DVM, check the voltage across the BLUE and WHITE wires coming from the power supply board in the base of the enclosure. FIRST, disconnect any wiring going to Iout#1. Then, verify voltage across these wires is about 16-18 VDC when still connected to the terminal strip on the front half of the enclosure. If the BLUE and WHITE wires are not connected to the terminal strip on the front half of the enclosure, the voltage across them should measure about 29 VDC.
4. If analyzer does power up with a display, use the “Simulate” feature to check operation of the analog outputs (and relays contacts with a DVM.)
5. Check sensor power circuits. With a DVM, verify between -4.5 and -5.5 VDC from sensor connection terminals WHITE (+) to BLACK (-). Then verify between +4.5 and +5.5VDC from GREEN (+) to BLACK (-).
6. Check TC drive circuit. Place a wire-short between the RED and BLACK sensor terminals. With a DVM, measure the voltage between the BLACK (-) and BROWN (+) sensor terminals to verify that the TC drive circuit is producing about -
4.6 to -5.5 VDC open-circuit. Remove DVM completely and connect a 1000 Ohm resistor across the BLACK to BROWN terminals. The temperature reading on the front LCD should display approximately 0°C and the dissolved oxygen reading should display approximately 0 ppm.
9.31 Display Messages
The Q46 Series instruments provide a number of diagnostic
messages which indicate problems during normal operation and calibration. These messages appear as prompts on the secondary line of the display or as items on the Fault List.

9.4 Sensor Tests
1. Check the condition of the optical sensing element. Mechanical damage to the black covering over the optical element is an indication that sensor problems are likely.
2. Prior to disconnecting the sensor, measure the sensor output voltage at the analyzer terminal strip with a DVM while the sensor is hanging in air. If the sensor has been connected to a powered analyzer for at least 2 hours, the nominal output of the sensor will be about +400mVDC when measured in air at 25C (100% saturation) from BLACK (-) to RED (+) on the analyzer terminal strips. This value is affected by temperature, pressure, and age of the sensor so it’s possible to see a typical value that ranges from perhaps +200mVDC to about +800 mVDC under a wide range of conditions in air.

3. Disconnect the five sensor wires from the oxygen monitor. Those wires are color coded red, white, blue, green, brown, and black. Note: the brown wire may be replaced by an orange wire in some cables. Connect the DVM between the brown and black wires. These are the RTD leads, and you should find a resistance value that depends on the temperature. The table below lists the resistance values for various temperatures.

If you suspect that water has gotten into a cable connection or into
the plug connection of a submersible sensor, disconnect the cable and allow the parts of the sensor to sit in a warm place for 24 hours. If water in the connector is the problem, it should dry out sufficiently to allow normal sensor operation.
