Operation and Maintenance Manual Rev: C17

Section A: Programming the Controller

Warning: Interrupting t he c ontroller by

of its settings.

A – 1: Adjusting the Display Contrast

You can adjust the display contrast by holding down either the up or down arrow keys for two seconds, then after the controller beeps three times, use the up and down keys to adjust the contrast.

A – 2: Security Settings

A – 2.1: Access Codes and levels

To view what access level you were given, press the lock screen button while in any menu.

The Main Menu will also display who is logged on along with the version of firmware.

You do not need to set all the access codes for each level if you do not wish to. Also, a disabled access code is not equivalent to 000, so entering 000 when it prompts for an access code will only work if you have specifically assigned an access code to be 000.

A – 2.2: Setting Access Codes

To set an access code, press the menu button, then:

 Select System Config  Choose User Setup  Then select the access level you want to set an

access code for. To set Operator 1's access code, you would select Oper. Access Codes, then select Operator 1.

Pressing and holding the +/- button disables the access code, while pressing enter will enable and set the access code to the value on the screen.

Operators may only change their own access code. Managers may change their access code and any of the Operators.

A – 2.3: Controller Options

Depending on how a particular controller is configured, not all of the options listed in this manual may be available.

A – 3: Navigating the menus

The controller's menus incorporate built in help text to aid in understanding the function of each parameter, item, and option.

A – 3.1: Common status messages

The very bottom line of the display contains the time and date on the left while the right is reserved for a number of status messages; the most common are as follows:

 "Busy..." - Indicates the controller is busy doing

something critical and it cannot stop until it finishes. Until this message disappears, the controller will not respond to your key presses (although it does record them any will process them when done). Normally this message is only seen briefly after changing a setting, but it is also used for lengthier operations such as factory defaults and in the extremely rare case where the internal diagnostics detect a memory problem and attempts to correct it.

turning the power o ff while it displays the busy

message could result in the complete loss of all

 "(1 of 2) (More )" - and the like indicate there

are more options for you to choose from than the controller could show at one time. Press the right arrow key (Next) to view them. The left number indicates the current page, while the right number indicates the total number of pages.

 "Bad Value, Retry..." - Accompanied by an error

beep, this indicates the value you just entered was not within the allowable range of values and was not stored.

Operation and Maintenance Manual Rev: C17

A – 3.2: The Menu Screens

Most of the features of the controller are configured via the Menu button's menus. The menu screens can be broken up into two types: entry screens and lists.

A – 3.2.1: Entry Screens

An entry screen is used to enter a value using the keypad.

A – 3.2.2: List Screens

The list screens are mainly composed of lists of menu items that you can choose from by either pressing an item's number or by using the up and down arrow keys to select it (indicated by the arrow) and then pressing enter to choose it.

Using the up and down arrow keys also allows you to view each item's help text. And if the item leads to an entry screen or a list screen that sets a setting (see below), the current value is displayed in the lower right side.

The current value is usually displayed at the top while the cursor will be positioned under the current digit or character of the value you are entering in. The up and down arrows allow you to move the cursor right or left so you do not have to retype the existing digits if you only wish to change one.

Most numerical values will display the minimum and maximum values you can enter in at the bottom of the display in the format "< ### to ###>". These ranges many times will be dependant on other values you have set, such as alarm points or set points, while others are simply fixed to stay within a reasonable range.

Entering a value that is not within the acceptable range will result in an error beep and the message "Bad Value, Retry..." being displayed in the status area.

For some values, certain keys may take on special functions that are explained in the lower lines of the screen. The Down/up message in the example above is one of them.

Lists can also be used to change a setting:

When a list is used this way, it will display the current setting followed by the words "Change to:". Because it is a list, you can select an item with the up/down buttons to see help information about that particular selection.

There are a few list screens that use the entire width of the display for displaying values associated with each item and therefore do not have help. See Section C: Using the Quick Set Face Panel Keys for examples of these types of screens.

Operation and Maintenance Manual Rev: C17

A – 3.3: The Lock Screen Key

When not in a menu (i.e. viewing the normal display), pressing the lock screen key will prevent the controller from paging the screen to show more inputs, alarms, and other status information. See Section B: The Normal Display for more info about using the lock screen key in the normal display.

While within any menu, if the user does not press a key within sixty seconds of the last key press, the current user is logged out and the screen is returned to the normal display. To prevent the controller from timing out, you may lock the screen.

While within a menu, pressing the Lock Screen key will bring up a popup menu:

The first option on the popup will be either to lock or unlock the screen depending on the current lock state. While the screen is locked, key presses normally are ignored. However, in some instances certain keys are given special functions while the screen is locked, such as using the up and down arrows to scroll the help text if all of the help text cannot be displayed at once.

You can also lock/unlock the screen without bringing up the popup menu by holding down the lock button for one second. The controller will acknowledge this action with a triple beep and the yellow Lock Screen light will turn on.

The Lock button popup menu also identifies who is currently logged on, and provides an option for the user to log off. You can also select cancel if you pressed the lock button in error.

A – 4: Inputs

To enter the program menu, press the Menu button on the front face panel of your controller. This will allow the viewing of the Main Menu where the programming options are displayed.

The Cl inputs, Cl Inventory Input, Chlorine Control, and Chlorine booster control are all displayed as either Chlorine and Cl or Bromine and Br depending on the chemical selected in the Cl feed menu. This manual is written using the Chlorine setting. If you select Bromine as the sanitizing chemical, the controller will display Bromine and Br instead of Chlorine and Cl, but the menus and functions are otherwise exactly the same as shown.

If your controller is configured to monitor the Strainer Vacuum, either a transducer or a gauge may be used. If a transducer is used, you will have the following options:

 High Vac Alarm (Op): The high vacuum

alarm will activate when the pressure reaches or falls below this setting. This is actually a low pressure alarm that operates in the negative pressure range, which is a vacuum. You may disable this alarm by holding down the +/- key for 1 second.

If the recirc pump is assigned a relay, the high strainer vacuum alarm will trigger an emergency off of the system.

If the recirc pump is assigned a relay and the High Vac Alarm is disabled, this will defeat the emergency off.

 High Vac Warning (Op): The high vacuum

warning will activate when the pressure reaches or falls below this setting. This is actually a low pressure alarm that operates in the negative pressure range, which is a vacuum. You may disable this alarm by holding down the +/- key for 1 second.

The high strainer vacuum warning is generally used to indicate to the operators that the strainer needs cleaned. While this warning does flash the alarm LED, it does not shut down any pumps or feeds.

 Alarm Hysteresis (Mgr): This value sets the

level that the pressure reading must rise above the alarm settings before the alarm will shut off.

A – 4.11.6: Total Dynamic Head

If your controller is configured to monitor the Total Dynamic Head, you will have the following options:

 Display TDH (Op): Enables displaying total

dynamic head on the normal display.

 High Alarm (Op): The high alarm will

activate when the total dynamic head across the pump reaches or rises above this setting. You may disable this alarm by holding down the +/key for 1 second.

 Low Alarm (Op): The low alarm will activate

when the total dynamic head across the pump reaches or falls below this setting. You may disable this alarm by holding down the +/- key for 1 second.

 Alarm Hysteresis (Mgr): This value sets the

amount that the total dynamic head has to rise above the high alarm or fall below the low alarm before the alarm will shut off.

A – 4.12: Backwash Pit Level

If your controller is configured to monitor the backwash pit level, either a level sensor or a pair of floats may be used. If a level sensor is used, you will have the following options:

 High Alarm (Op): The high alarm will

activate when the input rises above this setting. Backwash of the current filter will be paused until the level falls to or below the low point.

 Low Point (Op): Level to resume backwash

after a high backwash pit alarm.

Press the Menu button on the front of the Controller and select Control Outputs. Depending on the controller configuration, some control outputs may or may not be installed.

A – 5.1: pH Control

If your controller is configured to control pH, you will have the following options:

 Control Type (Op): Choose from On/Off or

Time Base Proportional control.

In general, if you are using a motor driven chemical feeder then you should choose the On/Off option. If you are using a solenoid driven or pulsed diaphragm chemical feeder (such as Pulsatron, most LMI models or most Prominent Models), you should choose the TBP option. This feature helps to hold a set point and to minimize over-shoot by making a standard feeder mimic the action of more sophisticated modulating feeders. If you choose the On/Off option and are feeding up, then the controller will activate the chemical feeder whenever the pH falls below the set point and continue to feed until the pH rises above the set point plus hysteresis at which point it will stop. If you choose the TBP option and are feeding up then the controller will activate the chemical feeder whenever the pH falls below the set point and will feed for a percentage of the Time Base (default one minute) proportional to the offset from set point. For the remainder of the Time Base the feeder will be paused. The feeder will continue this feed and pause cycle until the controller achieves the set point plus hysteresis. The closer to set point, the less time the feeder is ON.

 Set Point (Op): This value sets the desired level

to maintain the pH at. Input the desired pH set point.

 Span/Prop. Bnd (Op): This option is only shown if

the Control Type is Time Base Proportional. This value

sets the distance (or span) from the set point that the output will be proportionally controlled.

so by a factory representative.

 Failsafe Timer (Op): This value sets the time

that the relay is allowed to stay continuously on.

The most common failures of automated chemical feed systems are depletion of the chemical supply and/or chemical feeder failure. Both problems result in the controller being unable to reach set point in a reasonable period of time. The failsafe timer sets the maximum length of time the feeder can run. If the feeder has been trying to achieve set point without success for the selected time, the controller will cut power to the feeder, flash the Reset Fail/Safe LED on the face panel and display a message to alert the operator. If in TBP Pause mode, the controller will reset the timer. An operator must reset the failsafe through the Reset Fail/Safe button to re-enable normal control.

If your controller is configured to control Chlorine, you will have the following options:

 Sanitizer Chemical (Op): Sets the sanitizer

chemical name (Chlorine or Bromine).

This option controls what chemical name the controller displays for the ppm Input and the primary sanitization/oxidizing chemical.

 Control Input Src (Op): This option is only

available if the controller is configured for ppm. Choose

between ORP and ppm to use as the primary control input for the sanitizer feed.

If the ppm Input is selected and the ppm Input source is set to probe, chlorine control is disabled while the ppm interlock timer is running. If the ppm Input is selected and the ppm Input source is set to calculated, the controller still controls off of ORP, but the ORP set point is calculated by the controller based on the ppm set point, the pH set point, and the ppm calibration. Modification of any one of those three values will result in a new ORP set point.

 Control Type (Op): Choose from On/Off or

Time Base Proportional control.

In general, if you are using a motor driven chemical feeder then you should choose the On/Off option. If you are using a solenoid driven or pulsed diaphragm chemical feeder (such as Pulsatron, most LMI models or most Prominent Models), you should choose the TBP option. This feature helps to hold a set point and to minimize over-shoot by making a standard feeder mimic the action of more sophisticated modulating feeders.

A – 5.16.1: VFD Control (continued)

 Set Point (Op): Allows you to set the value to

control to. (in % or flow rate depending on what the control input is set to).

 Dead Band (View Only): This option is only

shown if the Control Input is set to Flow Rate. The

VFD output will not change until the input is this far away from the set point.

 Backwash Output (View Only): This option is

only shown if the backwash control is configured. Sets

the VFD percent output to use when backwashing.

 Minimum Output (View Only): The

controller will always keep the VFD output above this % except when the relay is off.

A – 5.16.1.1: Scheduled Turndowns

Scheduled turndowns will override the regular set point at their scheduled times. If two scheduled turndowns overlap, turndown 1 has the highest priority; turndown 2 has the second highest priority, and so on. Once the highest priority turndown’s scheduled time ends, the next highest active turndown’s set point will be used until its time ends or a higher turndown becomes active.

 Cancel on alarm (Mgr): If a high or low

alarm for pH, ORP, Cl, temperature trigger, or a high turbidity alarm triggers, a turndown failsafe is triggered and all scheduled turndowns are canceled until the failsafe is cleared.

 Heater/Ozone/UV turndown modes

(Mgr):

Each control has two modes available:

 Minimum Flow Rate – scheduled

turndowns will adjust their targeted flow rate to ensure the flow rate is above the equipment’s minimum flow rate before the equipment is allowed to run.

If an input wants to activate the control during the turndown, the input must remain above/below the set point for five minutes before that feed is enabled. Then if the flow rate is below the equipment’s minimum flow rate, the flow rate is slowly raised to a rate just above the minimum flow rate. Only once the flow rate is above the minimum flow rate for that equipment will that control be allowed to run.

If the control is already active when the turndown starts and the turndown’s set point is lower than the equipment’s minimum flow rate, the controller will slowly decrease the flow rate to a point just above the equipment’s minimum flow rate instead of the turndown’s programed flow rate.

 Normal Operation – the feed will shut

off if the flow rate drops below the programed minimum flow rate.

A – 5.16.1.2: Manual Turndowns

Manual turndowns are configured here but are triggered from the main menu. Manual turndowns override the normal and scheduled set points. There are four manual turndowns available. Each manual turndown has the following settings:

 Duration (Op): Sets how long the manual

turndown will run. Must be set to non-zero for the turndown to show up on the main menu.

 Set Point (Op): Sets the type of set point

(% out or flow rate) and the value to control to for the manual turndown.

 Label (Op): Allows you to change the name

of this manual turndown. There is a 12 character maximum.

A – 6.2: Power Saver

Power Saver is a timer triggered function that saves energy by shutting down the recirculation pump for programmable periods of time while the pool is not in use. When active, power saver has the following states:

• CONTROLLING: At least one control

function is currently feeding. Once all feeds have finished, the system will enter the GOING TO SLEEP state.

• GOING TO SLEEP: All control functions

must be satisfied (they don't turn their feeds on) for the Enter Sleep Delay duration before allowing system to enter the SLEEPING state.

• SLEEPING: Timed period (Sleep Duration)

where the shutdown of recirculation pump is triggered and all feeds are disabled. After entering SLEEPING state, the recirculation pump will continue to run until the heater and ozone fireman switch timers run out. The sleep timer starts when all conditions have been met, not when controller shuts down the recirculation pump. Only a timer triggered backwash, the sleep timer expiring, or the Power Saver timer expiring will put the system into the WAKING UP state. No feeds or input alarms will operate while the system is asleep or waking up.

• WAKING UP: Timed period (Exit Sleep

Delay) where the recirculation pump is ran before allowing feeds to operate. Once the wake up time expires, if the Power Saver timer expired, the system will remain awake even if all feeds are satisfied. Otherwise the system enters the CONTROLLING state, performing a backwash if triggered, and will reenter GOING TO SLEEP again once all feeds have been satisfied again.

While Power Saver is active, the system automatically uses the Alternate Temperature

set point for the Heater and the Alternate ORP and/or Alternate ppm set points for the Cl feed.

 Enable (Op): Enable or disable the Power Saver

feature.

 4 Event 28 Day Timer (Op): The 4 Event 28

Day Timer allows you to program power saver's schedule. See the section on the Chlorine (Bromine) Control's Alt Set Point for details on how to set this.

 Sleep Duration (Op): Sets how long the

controller will sleep.

 Enter Sleep Delay (Op): Sets how long to wait

after all of the feeds have been satisfied before entering SLEEP (i.e. the GOING TO SLEEP duration). If any feed starts feeding during this time, the controller goes back to the CONTROLLING state.

 Exit Sleep Delay (Op): Sets how long to wait

after coming out of sleep before allowing any feeds to run. (i.e. the WAKING UP duration).

 Alternate ORP (Op): Sets the alternate ORP

value used during power saver and the Cl feed's alternate set point event timer.

 Alternate ppm (Op): Sets the alternate ppm

value used during power saver and the Cl feed's alternate set point event timer.

 Alternate temp (Op): Sets the alternate

temperature value used during power saver and the heater's alternate set point event timer.

A – 6.3: pH Lockout

pH lockout (Mgr) disables the sanitizer feed when a pH high and/or low alarm is activated:

Full lockout: The Cl (Br) feed is disabled

when either a pH high or low alarm occurs.

Feed direction: For pH feed up, the Cl (Br)

feed is disabled on a pH low alarm. For pH feed down, the Cl (Br) feed is disabled on a pH high alarm.

Disable: pH alarms do not disable the

Cl (Br) feed. (Not Recommended)

for chemical overfeeds which may damage

equipment or harm patr ons.

Section B: The Normal Display

The normal display refers to the screens that display all of your inputs, current alarms, and status messages. These are read only and do not offer any selections to chose from.

B – 1: Inputs and Feeds

When no alarms or status messages are present, the entire screen will be used to display all of the enabled inputs. If a particular input is used by a control output and the control output is feeding based off of that input, the controller will display a message next to that input indicating so.

Other information such as LSI/RSI calculated values and Customer/Location/Rep information may also be displayed.

If there are more items to show than there is room for, the controller the controller will page through them until they all have been displayed, then start over.

Pressing the right arrow key (Next) will display the next page.

Pressing the Lock Screen button will prevent the controller from paging the screen to show more inputs, alarms, and other status information.

You can adjust the rate at which the controller pages by pressing the up and/or down arrow keys.

B – 2: Alarms & Status messages

When one or more alarms are active, the bottom three lines are used to list them. If more than three alarms are active, the controller will page through them three at a time until they all have been displayed, then start over.

Super chlorination, dechlorination, sensor wash, backwash, and power saver all display status information in this area as well. If there are any active alarms while one or more of these control functions' are active, the alarms will be shown every

other page while the control functions will alternate with each other.

Section C: Using the Face Panel Quick Keys

C – 1: The Set Points Key

The Set Points Key on the front face panel, when pressed, allows you to quickly change desired feed set points for the various control outputs that are enabled.

To change the existing feed set point, first select the desired option, input the new value, and then press enter.

Pressing the Set Points key a second time will display the alarm set points for all of the enabled inputs.

Pressing the relay mode button again takes you to the same screen controllers without recirculation pump control see first, the list of local relays.

The local relays screen shows you which options have been assigned relays, and each of the relays' current mode (AUTO/MANUAL OFF/MANUAL ON) and its state (Off or On).

Pressing the Relay Mode key again will cycle through the relay expansion modules connected to the controller (if any), showing what is assigned to those relays and their current state.

To change the existing alarm set point, first select the desired option, input the new value, and then press enter.

C – 2: The Relay Mode Key

What you see when you press the Relay Mode key on the front face panel the first time depends if the recirculation pump is assigned a relay or not. If it is, the recirculation pump menu is shown allowing you to start and stop it, and if controlling a VFD, manually override the speed.

Manual override speed has two options:

 Manual % Out sets the VFD output at a specified

value.

 Manual Flow Rate changes the VFD output to

maintain a specified flow rate.

By selecting one of the assigned relays, you are allowed to choose between automatic, manual on or manual off. Unused relays and the alarm relay cannot be manually overridden, but their current state is always displayed.

If Manual On is selected, you may be prompted to enter how long the relay can stay in Manual On before returning to Auto (the maximum on time is 30 minutes).

To test a relay or to prime a pump (on the local relay screen), lock the screen while in the main local relays menu, then press the relay's numeric key (i.e., for relay 3, press the 3 key). This will turn the relay on for as long as you are pressing that key. If the relay is already on, this will have no effect. The Relay Expansion modules have a button to test the relays.

If you have the controller set up to control a VFD or if any 4-20mA recorder outs have been assigned,

Page 26

pressing the Relay Mode Key again will display the 420mA Control Outputs.

From here you can also switch the VFD between auto and manual on. The manual on is the same as Manual override speed in the recirculation pump screen.

C – 3: The Cal Key (calibration)

The Cal (calibration) key on the front face panel, when pressed shows you the inputs you can perform a single point calibration. The standard inputs that can be calibrated are pH and ORP. Any other inputs you have enabled can also be calibrated from this Menu screen. Select the input you wish to calibrate and enter the proper value.

Perform a single point calibration if the reading is off by a consistent amount throughout the input range.

If the readings are accurate at one reading, but are off by an increasing amount the farther away you go from that reading, contact your distributor.

C – 4: The Backwash Key

When all of the necessary components needed for backwash have been assigned and configured, and if there are no conditions preventing a backwash, the Backwash Key allows you to start a manual backwash.

If any automated backwash triggers have been enabled, you may also view them along with their associated input if applicable by selecting the View Active Triggers.

The Backwash Key’s main screen will also list anything preventing a backwash from occurring such as an Emergency Off, configuration problems, and the Backwash Inhibit Timer.

During a backwash, the Backwash Key displays the progress of each filter and allows you to restart, switch to, or cancel a particular filter as well as cancel the backwash entirely.

Section E: Maintenance

Warning: You may lightly blot the water

glass impairing i ts response.

The BECSys controller requires no maintenance other than a periodic calibration check and sensor cleaning.

E – 1: Potentiometric Sensors (pH and ORP)

E – 1.1: Electrode Cleaning

Slow response time and large offsets may indicate the electrode has become coated. The nature of the coating will dictate the type of cleaning technique that should be used.

on a pH sensor tip on a paper t owel, but never

vigorously rub or wipe the pH bulb because this

may scratch the delicate outer layer on the pH

 Soft coatings, like bacterial films, are best removed

using a squirt bottle or the water jet from a faucet. If this is not successful, then gently wipe with a soft wet cloth.

 For a more severe coating, first try a strong

detergent (something similar to Dawn liquid detergent) and warm water, using a soft brush (like a toothbrush). Isopropyl alcohol on a Q-tip is another good choice. Rinse the measuring end in distilled water before reinstallation.

 Greasy and oily coatings are best removed with a

detergent solution or a solvent that will not attack the sensor body. Methanol and isopropyl alcohol are good choices for solvents. Acetone, MEK, THF, or trichloroethane will irreparably harm the electrode.

 Hard coatings, like calcium or lime scale, are best

removed with a solvent appropriate for the particular coating. A 5% solution of hydrochloric acid (HCl) would be a good choice for calcium scale. If unsure of the proper solvent to remove a hard mineral coating, then alternate between a 5% hydrochloric acid and a 4% sodium hydroxide (NaOH) for 10 minutes each. After treating the electrode with these strong acids or bases, rinse the electrode with water and soak it in a pH 4 buffer for at least 1/2 hour.

 The platinum tip of an ORP sensor can be cleaned

with an abrasive as a last resort. Gently scour the platinum with a 600 grit wet emery cloth, or preferably, a 1-3 micron alumina polishing powder.

E – 1.2: Long-Term Storage

Save the wetting cap that came with the sensor for long-term storage. After removing the sensor from the flow cell, clean it as in routine

maintenance, then store it in the wetting cap using a pH 4 buffer saturated with potassium chloride (KCl). The potassium chloride will prevent electrolyte from leaching out of the sensors reference cell. The wetting cap only needs to be half full. If a number of sites are going to be serviced, for example, at the end of a season, then it might be a good idea to carry a pint of 4.0/KCl storage solution.

E – 2: Free Chlorine Sensor (membrane)

Check the sensor measurement at regular intervals (at least once a month), and perform a recalibration if necessary.

As a rule of thumb, refill the measuring cell with electrolyte once per season (or every 12 months).

E – 2.1: Cleaning

 If the sensor membrane is visibly soiled, then

remove the sensor from the flow cell and clean the membrane with a gentle water jet, or soak the membrane for a few minutes in a 1% to 10% hydrochloric acid (HCl) solution. Avoid chemical additives as they may damage the membrane.

 Replace a heavily soiled or damaged membrane.

E – 2.2: Long-Term Storage

Save the yellow protective cap that came with the sensor for long-term storage. After removing the sensor from the flow cell, empty the measuring cell of electrolyte (particularly if dehydration of the membrane is possible). Rinse the measuring chamber and electrode shaft with cold water and let them dry. Then screw the measuring cell down loosely and not to the stop, so that the membrane remains unstressed. When the sensor is put back into service, it will have to be refilled with electrolyte and run through an initial polarization before calibration.

E – 2.3: Filling electrolyte

 Unscrew the measuring chamber from the shaft.  Hold the measuring chamber at an angle and fill in

approximately 7 to 8 ml electrolyte, up to approximately 1 cm under the top edge.

 Tap the filled chamber several times on a flat

surface to release any air bubbles.

 Screw the electrode shaft into the measuring

chamber vertically from above, displacing all air from inside. Tighten slowly to the stop.

E – 3: Free Chlorine Sensor (CP-1)

Warning: The membrane may be damaged

membrane cap.

Warning: Never touch the electrode finger.

E – 3.1: Long Term Storage

Drain the CP-1 cell completely, remove the acrylic cover from the CP-1 cell, discard the glass beads, and allow all to dry. The copper and platinum won’t degrade if kept dry. Never allow the sensor to remain stored in the cell with wet glass beads forming a path between the platinum and copper electrodes; the copper will continue to act as a sacrificial electrode and a large section of the copper disc will corrode away over time, dramatically reducing the useful lifetime of the sensor. Add a new set of replacement glass beads when the sensor is put back into service (BECS part number 2210444).

E – 3: Total Chlorine Sensor

Check the sensor measurement at regular intervals (at least once a month), and perform a recalibration if necessary. As a rule of thumb, refill the measuring cell with electrolyte every 3 to 6 months. The membrane should be replaced once a year.

E – 3.1: Long Term Storage

After removing the sensor from the flow cell, empty the measuring cell of electrolyte (particularly if dehydration of the membrane is possible). Rinse the measuring chamber and electrode shaft with cold water and let them dry. Then loosely screw the measuring cell down. The membrane must not rest against the measuring electrode. When the sensor is put back into service, the electrode tip must be cleaned with the special abrasive paper and a new membrane cap must be used.

E – 3.2: Cleaning The Electrode Tip

To clean the electrode tip, first remove the membrane cap. Be sure to expose the vent when removing the membrane cap to prevent damage to the membrane. Clean the electrode finger using a clean, dry paper towel. The special abrasive paper is used on just the electrode tip. Place the special abrasive paper on a paper towel and hold it at one corner. Hold the probe perpendicular to the paper towel and abrasive paper and rub the electrode tip two or three times across the abrasive paper. Once the tip has been cleaned, replace the electrolyte.

E – 3.3: Filling Electrolyte

The lower portion (below the upper band) unscrews. Be sure to lift the hose ring that covers the vent while removing the membrane cap.

if the vent is not opened while removing the

Fill the membrane cap to the edge with the electrolyte. Make sure there are no bubbles.

Insert the sensor into the membrane cap. Slowly screw the membrane cap onto the sensor. Excess electrolyte will escape through a valve in the membrane cap – do not block this valve. Rinse excess electrolyte off with water.

To re-install the sensor in the flow cell:

The Probe Ring is installed first.

Warning: Do not soak the sensor in a strong

time.

Warning: Residue from cleaning solutions, or

Slide the smaller diameter O-Ring up the sensor body until it rests against the Probe Ring.

Insert the larger diameter O-Ring into the O-Ring retainer.

Slide the O-Ring retainer (O-Ring side towards membrane) up against the O-Ring just installed.

Insert the complete assembly into the Flow Cell. Check the Teflon Tape around the Probe Nut and re-wrap if necessary. Use the Probe Nut to secure the sensor inside the Flow Cell. The top of the Probe Nut should be at the bottom of the label.

The voltage applied by the controller to the Free Chlorine Sensor polarizes the surface of the gold cathode. The polarization period (one hour) must elapse before calibration is performed based on the results acquired through the use of a DPD test kit.
