1. Using a knife, cut the diagram out (cut on the outer part of the line).

2. Align the cut-out to your panel and draw cut marks.

3. Cut the hole in the panel to the precise dimensions of the cut-out:
2-5/8 in. x 2-5/8 in. (66.5 mm x 66.5 mm)

--> See the installation section for complete instructions.

Thank you for purchasing HM Digital’s CIC-152. The CIC-152 is a TDS/EC controller that monitors and controls levels

of Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) or Electrical Conductivity (EC) in water. The controller has two programmable control

points (maximum limit (CP2) and minimum level (CP1)) to help maintain the TDS/EC within a designated range. If

the TDS/EC level is within the range, the controller will display a green light. Each control point can be used to

control a distinct device, or both can be used to control a single device. If the TDS/EC level descends to Control

Point 1 (CP1), the controller will activate a yellow warning light, and switch the dry contact position of Relay 1 from

the normal position (to operate a valve, pump, etc). Once the TDS/EC ascends over CP1, the light will revert to green

and switch the contacts of Relay 1 back to the normal position (normally open or closed). If the TDS/EC level rises to

Control Point 2 (CP2), the controller will activate a red warning light, and switch the dry contact position of Relay 2

from the normal position (to operate a valve, pump, etc). Once the TDS/EC level drops below CP2, the light will

revert to green and switch the contacts of Relay 2 back to the normal position (normally open or closed).

EC Range: 0-9999 µS (µS/cm)
TDS Range: Model CIC-152 (NaCl): 0 - 4995 ppm (mg/L); Model CIC-152-4 (442TM): 0 - 8500 ppm
Temperature Range: 1-80oC; 33-176oF
Resolution: 0-999: 0.1 µS/ppm; 1000-9999: 1 µS/ppm
Accuracy: ±2% (of the reading); Thermometer: ±1oC, ±1.8oF
Conversion Factor: Model CIC-152: NaCl (avg. 0.5); Model CIC-152-4: 442TM (avg. 0.4 - 0.7)
Temperature Compensation: Automatic (ATC) (1-60oC)
Calibration: Digital by push button (manual ne-tuning in high ranges)
Control Points: Dual, controlled by on-screen up/down buttons (set points can be any point within

the range, but max (CP2) and min (CP1) cannot cross each other).

Control Point Relays: Dual, isolated, 2A, Max. 220V, resistive load 100,000 strokes
Relay Control: The unit will open or close a circuit via dry contacts when the ppm/µS level reaches

or surpasses each minimum or maximum control setting (simple switch). Each relay control can be
used to control a separate device.

Relay Coil Voltage (internal): 5V each (the connected devices need their own power source)
Alarms: Two (AP1 and AP2). Optional steady beep (set by user). Independent of control points.
Probe: ½” NPTF bushing
Cable Length: 3 meter (9.8 ft) shielded cable
Display: Bright tri-color L.E.D.
Power Supply: 110V/220V, ±10% Vac; 50/60Hz
Enclosure: Front and back with ABS
Environment: -10 to 50oC (4 to 122oF); RH max 95% non-condensing
Dimensions: 7.2 x 7.2 x 11.1 cm (2.8 x 2.8 x 4.4 in.)

ATTACHING THE MOUNTING BRACKETS

1. Slide the controller through the hole in the panel.

2. From the rear of the controller, slide the metal square support frame over the controller, so that it is
pressed against the interior of the panel.

3. If not assembled, on the top of the controller, place one long bracket with the ridge side facing up.
Insert the short bracket into the slots on the controller, so that it ts snugly against the long bracket.

4. Slide the long bracket towards the controller face, so that the front end is pressed against the support
frame (or the panel, if not using the support frame).

5. Secure a screw from the hole in the long bracket through the hole in the short bracket. Tighten, but
do not overtighten.

6. Do the same for the bracket on the bottom of the controller. Tighten both brackets equally.
