1 INTRODUCTION

1.1 Description of Unit

Thank you for purchasing the Thermo Scientific’s ¼ DIN Alpha DO 1000 series Dissolved Oxygen process controller. This unit is used for measuring either in % saturation, mg/l or ppm, one at a time, and the operational mode is switchable from the menu. You can use this unit to measure Dissolved Oxygen with limit or proportional control. This controller has many user-friendly and safety features which include:

• Menu-driven program that simplifies set-up

• Built-in Memory backup to ensure that calibration data and other information

are not erased if power supply fails

• Push-button one-/two-point calibration and electrode offset adjustment from the keypad

• Automatic temperature compensation (ATC)

• Manual temperature compensation with independent setting for calibration

and process temperature

• 0 to 1999 second time delay adjustment on all relays – minimise false alarms

• Separately adjustable high and low set point hysteresis (dead bands)

prevent chattering of relays around the set points

• Three control modes: limit control, proportional pulse length or proportional pulse frequency

• Large dual display LCD for easy reading with clear multiple annunciators, alarm status and operational message annunciators

• Two switching contacts as set-point triggering relays and an alarm output relay

• Separate alarm relay alerts you when set points have exceeded the limits and if the Pt100 wires are broken or disconnected during the ATC function

• Hold function freezes output current (0/4...20mA) and releases control relays

• LED indicators signal control activities to monitor controller status from a

distance

• Protection against electromagnetic interference - galvanically isolated 0/4 - 20mA output provides safety for data logging and control purposes

Applications

1.2

Use this controller in panel mounted enclosures for applications such as water treatment and monitoring, galvanic-decontamination, chemical processing, food processing, clean or waste water control and neutralization process.

2 ASSEMBLY AND INSTALLATION

2.1 Measurement and Control System

A typical measurement system consists of:

• an Alpha DO 1000 process controller

• a Dissolved Oxygen probe with integrated temperature sen s or Pt100

• an immersion, flow or process assembly

• a final control element such as pump or valve, and

• a chart recorder

IMPORTANT: The Alarm relay functions as an “Active Low” device

i.e. it switches OFF under Alarm condition. Therefore the Alarm display device should be connected to the ‘NC’ contacts of the relay.

4.2 Function Groups

The main function and sub-function groups are organised in a matrix format for configuration and selection of parameters. The main function groups are:

 Offset adjustment (OFS). See Section 7.1.  Temperature Measurement / compensation settings (SEt °C). See Section 7.4.  Control relay 1 configuration (SP1). See Section 7.5.  Control relay 2 configuration (SP2). See Section 7.5.  Control type (Cntr). See Section 7.6.  Current output (rng). See Sections 7.7.  Configuration (ConF). See Section 7.8.  Calibration (CAL dO). See Sections 6 & 7.9.

The set-up parameters can be viewed or changed by entering a security code. See Section 5.2 for security code information.

4.2.1 How to view operating parameters without access to change them:

1. Press the ENTER key. The display will prompt the user to enter a security code (S.Cd). Leave the security code at “000” (do not enter a security code).

2. Press ENTER key again. This allows you only to view (not change) any sub-functions’ settings.

3. Press the ▲ or ▼ keys to scroll through the sub-functions.

4. Press the ENTER key at a particular sub-function to view in detail.

5. Press the ENTER key to return to the sub-function menu.

6. Press the ▲ or ▼ keys simultaneously (as an Escape key) at any time to return to the Measurement mode.

Note: To simplify operations, the controller will not display parameters

that are not relevant to a particular sub-function. For example: If the user set the controller for Limit control, it will not display pulse length/frequency settings.
