1. Introduction
1.1 Before You Begin
We thank you for purchasing the Alpha DO 2000.
The construction of the Alpha DO 2000 employs leading edge technology
and complies with safety regulations currently in force. Notwithstanding this,
improper use could lead to hazards for the user or a third-party, and/or
adverse effects on the plant or other equipment. Therefore, the operating
instructions must be read and understood by the persons involved
before work is started with the Alpha DO 2000.
Thermo Scientific do not accept any liability for damage that may arise
from neglecting information given in this manual.
This instruction manual identifies safety instructions and additional
information by means of the following symbols:
This symbol draws attention to safety instructions and warnings of
potential danger which, if neglected, could result in injury to persons
and/or damage to property.
This symbol identifies additional information and instructions which, if
neglected, could lead to inefficient operation and possible loss of
production.
The instruction manual must always be stored close at hand, in a place
accessible to all people working with the Alpha DO 2000.
If you have questions, which are not or insufficiently answered in this
instruction manual, please contact your supplier. They will be glad to assist
you.
1.2 Intended Use
The Alpha DO 2000 is intended solely for dissolved oxygen and temperature
measurement, as described in this instruction manual.
Any other use, or use not mentioned here, that is incompatible with the
technical specifications is deemed inappropriate. The operator is solely
responsible for any damage arising from such use.
Other prerequisites for appropriate use include:
− Comply with the instructions, notes and requirements set out in this
instruction manual.
− Comply with all local safety regulations concerning safety at work.

1.3 Safety Instructions
-The Alpha DO 2000 should be installed and operated only by personnel
familiar with the transmitter and who are qualified for such work.
- A defective transmitter must neither be installed nor put into service.
- The Alpha DO 2000 must only be operated under the specified operating
conditions
- The Alpha DO 2000 must not be repaired by the customer.
- The Alpha DO 2000 must only be opened to replace the unit fuse or to set
the jumper for Pt100/Pt1000 temperature sensor. This work must be carried
out only by personnel familiar with the transmitter and who are qualified for
such work. Make sure the mains cable is separated from the power supply
before opening the unit.
-No modifications to the Alpha DO 2000 are allowed. The
manufacturer/supplier accepts no responsibility for damage caused by
unauthorized modifications. The risk is borne entirely by the user.
1.4 Taking Out of Service / Correct Disposal of the Unit
Taking out of service
• First disconnect the unit from the mains, and then undo all electrical
connections.
• Remove the unit from the wall / panel.
Correct disposal of the unit
When the transmitter is permanently taken out of service, observe the local
environmental regulations for correct disposal or send the transmitter to your
local distributor, they will take care of proper disposal.

2. Getting Started
2.1 Description of Instrument
The Alpha DO 2000 is used for measuring dissolved oxygen (in % saturation,
mg/l or ppm) and temperature values. The dissolved oxygen values can be
measured using limit or P/PI control.
The transmitter is available in two versions, one for panel mounting and one
for wall mounting in a enclosure. The transmitter can be used for applications
such as water treatment and monitoring, chemical and food processing,
clean and wastewater control and fish farming.
This controller/transmitter has many user-friendly and safety features which
include:
• Menu-driven program that simplifies set-up
• Built-in non-volatile memory to ensure that calibration and other
information are not erased if power supply fails.
• Push-button for calibration and sensor offset adjustment from the keypad.
• Automatic temperature compensation (ATC).
• Manual temperature compensation setting without the ATC probe, with
independent setting for calibration and process temperature.
• Two galvanically isolated current outputs 0/4...20mA.
• 0 to 1999 seconds time delay adjustment on all relays – minimizes false
alarms.
• Separately adjustable high and low set-point hysteresis (dead bands)
prevent chattering of relays around the set points.
• Three control modes: limit controller, P controller and PI controller (P/PI
controller as pulse length or pulse frequency).
• Large dual display LCD for easy reading with clear multiple annunciators,
alarm status, operational and error messages.
• Two switching contacts as set-point relays.
• Separate alarm relay alerting you to set point limits exceeded for a certain
time and if the NTC wires are broken or disconnected during the ATC
function.
• Wash relay.
• Hold function to freeze output current (0/4...20mA) and release control
relays.
• LED indicators signal control activities to visually monitor transmitter
status from a distance.
• Protection against electromagnetic interference.
• Back lit and UV light protected LC display.

2.2 Measurement and Control System
A typical measurement system consists of:
• an Alpha DO 2000 PG dissolved oxygen controller/transmitter
• a dissolved oxygen sensor with integrated or separate temperature
sensor
• an appropriate measurement cable
• an immersion, flow or process assembly
• a final control element such as pump or valve
• a chart recorder

2.3.1 Display Overview
The LC display shows two alpha-numerical fields for parameters and
measured values as well as various mode and status indicators.
READY: Visible after successful calibration
HOLD: Relay position and current output are
frozen
ATC: Visible in ATC (Automatic Temperature
Compensation) mode. Not visible in the Manual
Temperature Compensation mode. “ATC”
flashes if the temperature probe is faulty in its
ATC mode
ERR: Error or alarm indicator
Enter Calibration mode (requires access code)
Enter Setup mode (requires access code)
Access sub functions (parameters) within a function group of Setup mode
Confirm (store) setup parameters and numerical values
Start/Confirm calibration in Calibration mode.
Select function group in the Setup mode.
Set parameters and numerical values (if key is pressed continuously, the setting
speed increases).
Control the relays in MANUAL relay operation.
Returns to “Measurement mode” when both keys are pressed simultaneously.
Display limit values for SP1 and SP2 and settings for wash contact in AUTO
relay operation.
Toggle between RELAY A, RELAY B or Wash relay in MANUAL relay operation
Toggle between AUTO & MANUAL relay operation modes. (requires access
code to switch to MANUAL relay operation mode)

2.3.3 LED Indicators
Relay indicators
If REL key is pressed the LED (A, B or W) indicates to which Relay
(A, B or Wash) the displayed limit values refer.
Relay mode indicators
Auto LED lights if relay operation is set to automatic mode. Manu
LED lights if relay operation is set to manual mode.
Relay status indicators
LED lights if limit value is exceeded or the ATC probe fails.
LED lights green if measured value is within the limit for Relay A
LED lights red if measured value exceeds limit for Relay A.
LED lights green if measured value is within the limit for Relay B
LED lights red if measured value exceeds limit of Relay B
LED lights if cleaning cycle is on.
2.3.4 Security Codes
The access to Calibration mode, Setup mode and Manual relay operation
mode is protected with security codes. The security codes are set at the
factory and cannot be changed by the user. The following security codes are
used:
Security code Mode/Description
000 View only mode/ to view settings
11 Calibration mode/ to start calibration
22 Setup mode/ to configure parameters
22 Manual relay operation mode/ to switch to relay
operation mode from AUTO to MANUAL
