The 8900 Multi-Parameter Controller takes the concept of modularity to the extreme. The controller comes with backlit display that
provides clear visibility in dark environments. In addition, ultimate fl exibility is achieved via plug-in modules for two, four or six input
channels, universal AC line voltage or 12 to 24 VDC power, up to four analog outputs, and up to four relays. The controller will support
up to four additional relays, for a total of eight, by way of external relay modules.
Absolute input versatility allows mixing and matching of up to six sensors with digital (S3L) output. Up to two of the possible six input
channels may be used for Signet fl ow sensors with frequency output. The 8058 Signal Converter module enables any 4 to 20 mA signal
to be used as input to the 8900.
2.1 Compatibility
Model numbers of sensors and external relays compatible with the 8900 are identifi ed in the tables below.
• For two channel systems, mix and match up to two of any of these sensors.
• For four channel systems, mix and match up to four sensors with digital (S
• For Six channel systems, mix and match up to six sensors with digital (S3L) output.
• The optional external relays connect via digital (S3L) to the I/O Module, but do NOT consume a sensor input channel.
• pH and conductivity sensors include temperature sensors. These "secondary" measurements are treated by the 8900 as separate
sensors with respect to display, output and relay functionality, but they do NOT consume separate input channels.

This section lists all items included with individual 8900 system components, describes installation detail for plug-in modules and base
units, and provides information and instruction on the basic functionality of the plug-in modules.
3.1 Unpacking
Base units, plug-in modules, accessories and spare parts are sold, packaged and shipped separately from the factory. Unpack all
components carefully. The following items accompany every 8900 base unit:
• 8900 Base Unit with a backlit LCD
• Front Face Panel Gasket (pre-installed on base unit)
• Quick-clip panel mounting bracket
• Adhesive Template for panel cutout
• Instruction Manual, Paper copy – English
• CD-ROM containing instruction manuals in English, French, German, Spanish, Italian and Portuguese
For future reference, for each installation, it is recommended to record the part number and serial number of each of the
components listed here:
Facility Tag Number or System ID (user assigned):_______________________
Base unit 3-8900- _______ S/N___________________
I/O Module 3-8900.401-____ S/N___________________
Power Module 3-8900.402-____ S/N___________________

Relay Module 3-8900.403-____ S/N___________________
Ext Relay Module 3-8059-________S/N__________________
Output Module 3-8900.405-____ S/N___________________
3.2 Tools and Equipment Required:
• Philips screwdriver (medium tip)
• Standard screwdriver (small/medium tip)
• Diagonal cutters (small)
• File (fi ne)
• ¼-DIN punch or jigsaw suitable for cutting panel opening to within 1 mm (0.020 in.) tolerance.
4. Plug-in Modules
• If the 8900 Base Unit will be mounted in a panel, plug-in modules may be installed either before or after the base unit is mounted.
If the 8900 Base Unit will be mounted using the accessory Wall Mount Bracket, fi rst install plug-in modules.
• Plug-in modules are packaged in anti-static bags and contain individual instruction sheets and removable terminals for convenient
wiring. Minimize handling of plug-in modules to reduce the probability of damage due to static discharge.
• Power Modules include adhesive labels to be applied to the outside of the 8900 enclosure in specifi c locations as illustrated in
section 4.2.
• The rear panel of the 8900 must be removed prior to installing or removing plug-in modules.
If plug-in modules are already installed, the terminals must be removed prior to removing the rear
panel. It may be helpful to use a standard screwdriver to gently pry removable terminals away
from the receptacle on the plug-in modules.
• Use a Philips screwdriver to loosen the two captive screws at the bottom of the panel. Pinch one
of the screws and swing the panel up approximately 90°, using the tab hinge at the top of the
panel, and pull it straight away from the base unit. Reverse this step to reinstall the panel after
the plug-in modules are installed.
• Remove terminals from the receptacle of each plug-in module prior to installation.
• Use diagonal cutters to remove slot shields from the rear panel for optional plug-in modules as required.
Only remove shields for slots to be used (UL safety requirement).
• Smooth any protruding edges with a fi le.
• Reinstall the rear panel; it will hold the modules securely in place.

• These modules determine the maximum number of sensor input channels
available for the instrument. The 8900 will detect all connected sensors
at startup and assign channels up to the maximum available on the I/O
Module.
• Optional analog outputs are contained on the I/O Module, and will always
be identifi ed as Outputs 1 & 2 in the 8900 menus. Any and all analog
outputs are freely assignable to any channel. All analog outputs available
from the 8900 are isolated.
• Voltage outputs are independently software selectable for operation from 0
to 5 or 0 to 10 VDC.

The 8900 may be mounted in a panel, on a wall, or on virtually
any surface including shelves, racks and pipes. All methods of
mounting the 8900 make use of the Signet Quick-clip for holding
the instrument securely in place. This unique clip eliminates the
hassle of locating and drilling holes for mounting screws.
If the 8900 will be mounted in a panel, plug-in modules may be
installed either before or after the base unit is mounted. If an
accessory Wall Mount Bracket will be used, fi rst install plug-in
modules.
5.1 Panel Mounting
• The 8900 enclosure conforms to the ¼-DIN standard, which
requires a panel opening of 92 mm x 92 mm (3.6 in. x 3.6 in.).
• ¼-DIN punches are available and recommended for creating
clean, precise openings quickly and easily in most instrument
panels.
• Alternatively, a jigsaw or other cutting tool may be used.
An adhesive template is provided to help guide the cutting
process.
• Recommended minimum clearance on all sides between
instruments and panel edges is 25 mm (1 in.) as illustrated.
• Use an appropriate fi le as necessary to shape and size the
opening, and to remove burrs.
• Two panel adapter accessories are available for installing the
8900 into panels with existing cutouts larger than the 1/
standard.
To install 8900 in a panel:
1. Slide the 8900 into the opening from the front of the panel.
Ensure the Front Face Panel Gasket is properly seated
against the panel and around the instrument case.
2. Slide the Quick-clip mounting bracket over the back of the
instrument as illustrated. The Quick-clips will snap into
engagement with the molded latches on the side of the
instrument. Press the bracket against the inside of the panel
to secure the instrument fi rmly in place.
• To remove, press the Quick-clips outward while pulling
the bracket away from the instrument panel. DO NOT
ALLOW THE INSTRUMENT TO FALL FORWARD OUT
OF THE PANEL OPENING! It may be necessary/helpful to
temporarily secure the instrument from the front with tape,
etc.

All wiring connections to the 8900 are made via the removable terminals of the plug-in modules. This section contains instructions and
diagrams for wiring each type of module. Several helpful tables, explanations and recommendations are also provided. In general:
• Do not allow any AC leads that may be connected to the Power Module, or to optional internal relays, to come in contact with low
voltage wiring.
• Terminals accept 12 to 24 AWG wire.
• Strip 10 mm to 12 mm (0.4 in. to 0.5 in.) of insulation from wire tips and tin bare ends to eliminate fraying.
• Use ferrules when connecting more than one wire to a single terminal.
• Insert wire tip or ferrule completely into the terminal and secure with the screw.
• The I/O Module provides the terminals for sensor inputs, optional external relays, and optional Analog Outputs 1 & 2.
• These modules (3-8900.401-X) support frequency and digital (S
digital (S3L) and connect to the I/O Module just as if they were digital (S3L) sensors. External relays do NOT consume a sensor
input channel.
• Refer to Section 6.4: Output Module for wiring optional Analog Outputs 1 & 2.
6.1 Signal Type: Frequency
The maximum allowable cable length for fl ow sensors with frequency output is dependent upon the output signal strength of the
sensors themselves, and the degree to which the signals are susceptible to EMI or "noise". This is largely a function of whether the
sensors are self-powered, or powered by an external source.
All of the sensors in the table below are compatible with the 8900. The three models limited to 60 m (200 ft) are self-powered sensors.
The 8900 automatically provides power to the others via the I/O Module (normal sensor wiring).
These maximum recommended cable lengths apply to individual sensors and are completely independent of one another. Additionally,
these cable lengths have no relevance to any digital (S3L) devices that may also be connected to the I/O Module.

Frequency Input Wiring
The 8900 accepts one or two frequency inputs. Each input will occupy one channel.
The frequency input connected to terminals 1-2-3 will be identifi ed in the 8900 menu as "Freq. in 1."
The frequency input connected to terminals 4-5-7 will be identifi ed in the 8900 menu as "Freq. in 2."

Signet 8900 Multi-Parameter
6.2 Digital (S3L) Input wiring
• The maximum cable length of the digital (S
3
L) bus varies depending on the types of sensors connected and the size of the
conductors in the cable. For best results, determine the maximum cable length for the system before routing cables.
• Frequency input signals from fl ow sensors are not part of the digital bus, so they do not impact the cabling calculations. Follow the
maximum cable specifi cations published in the fl ow sensor literature.
3
• The digital (S
L) bus can be connected to two sets of terminals on the 8900. Divide digital (S3L) sensors between the two points to
stay within the limits defi ned here.
• There are several methods that can help route the digital cables and remain within the distance limitations. The following pages
provide general wiring concepts for different systems.
* 2551/2552 Magmeter and the 8900
The 2551 or 2552 Magmeter may require up to 15 mA per unit under some conditions. Special attention must be paid to power
requirements when more than three 2551 or 2552 Magmeters are connected to the 8900.
To ensure that Magmeters receive suffi cient power, Signet recommends minimizing other power requirements in the 8900 by doing at
least ONE of the following: • Select solid state relay cards instead of dry contact relays.
• Select Passive analog output cards instead of Active.
• Select the DC power supply card instead of the AC card.
Any one of these measures will insure that the 8900 has suffi cient power available to support up to six 2551 or 2552 Magmeters.
How to Wire Digital (S3L) Sensors
1. Tie all red wires together.
2. Tie all white wires together.
3. Tie all black wires together.
4. Tie cable shield to white GND wire at one end only for added protection from noise interference.
Notes:
• Some installations may require connecting the cable shield to Earth ground to overcome noise interference.
• Terminals 4-7 may be used as Freq Input 2 or as digital (S3L) Input 2, but not both.
• For best EMI fi ltering, divide digital sensors between S3L Input 1 and S3L Input 2 if Input 2 is not required for Frequency input.
• Daisy-chain or multi-drop wiring for digital (S3L) devices will reduce the number of separate digital signal lines that must be
connected to the 8900 I/O Module.
• Ferrules are recommended when connecting multiple digital (S3L) devices to a single set of terminals.
• In a "Daisy-Chain" pattern, the wires from each sensor are spliced to the matching wire of the adjacent sensor.
• In a "Multi-Drop" pattern, the wires from each sensor are spliced to a common set of wires from the 8900.
• Wiring methods can be mixed in any convenient design when connecting digital (S3L) devices. See the wiring charts on the
following pages for a variety of wiring options.
• The specifi c type of sensors on a branch of the digital (S3L) bus determine the current requirements, and the maximum cable
length for the branch. See section 6.2.1 for details.

6.2.1 Digital Cable Length Calculations
Step 1: Calculate the Total current requirements for digital (S3L) Branches
This information will determine the total current consumption of all digital (S3L) sensors on a branch of the digital (S3L) bus, as a
means of determining if the sensor load is within the current rating of the cable.
Fill in the chart to determine the current requirements for a specifi c set of sensors.

Maximum Current Consumption for Digital S
Current Quantity Total Example:
2350 Temperature Sensor 1 mA X = none
2450 Pressure Sensor 1 mA X = 2 Press 1 mA x 2 = 2 mA
2551/2552 Magmeter* 15 mA X = 2 Mags 15 mA x 2=30 mA
2750 pH/ORP Sensor Electronics 3 mA X = 2 pH 3 mA x 2 = 6 mA
2850 Cond. Sensor Electronics 2 mA X = none
8058 Current-S3L Converter 3 mA X = none
8059 External Relay Module** 1 mA X = none
Total current requirement on digital (S
** The digital (S3L) communication link between the 8900 and the 8059 is powered by the 8900 and consumes 1 mA maximum.
However, the 8059 External Relay Module always requires a separate power source for its operation.
Step 2 Determine the Maximum length of each branch of the digital (S3L) Bus
This chart determines the maximum length of one branch of the digital (S3L) bus. This distance is important because it ensures that
the digital signal can successfully travel the length of the cable and still be detected by the 8900.
• Find the column nearest to the total current in this branch, as determined in step 1.
• Find the cable gauge or wire dimensions that most accurately represent the cable being used.
• The number at the intersection of these factors represents the maximum cable for one branch of the digital (S3L) bus.
• The top section references AWG cables, the lower section is based on METRIC cables.
• Dividing the sensors between two branches will greatly increase the maximum cable length of each branch.
Example: 40 mA total on one branch can sustain 70 ft of cable. 20 mA on two branches can sustain 140 ft on each branch.
