2. Getting Started
2.1 Description of Instrument
The Thermo Scientific Alpha DO 500 Transmitter is used for measuring dissolved oxygen and temperature values. The dissolved oxygen values can be measured using industrial dissolved oxygen sensors. The temperature values can be measured using 2-wire or 3-wire Pt100 sensors. The DO Transmitter can be used for applications such as water treatment and monitoring, galvanic-decontamination, chemical processing, food processing, clean or wastewater control and neutralization processes.
The Alpha DO 500 Transmitter has many user-friendly and safety features which include:
x Push-button keypad for calibration and setup
x Built-in non-volatile memory to ensure that calibration and other
information are not erased if power supply fails
x Menu-driven program that simplifies setup
x Automatic temperature compensation (ATC)
x Manual temperature compensation setting without the ATC probe, with
independent setting for calibration and process temperature
x Large dual display LCD for easy reading with clear multiple
annunciators, operational mode indicators and error indicators.
x Galvanically isolated current output of 4 to 20mA
x Hold function to freeze output current (22mA)
x Out of range current indication (3.8mA)
x Protection against electromagnetic interference
Power Supply Requirements (SL2 Position)
This transmitter requires a 12 to 24V DC power supply. Other Transmitters and/or a chart recorder may be connected in series.
1. Insert positive loop wire from power supply to pin 1, tighten screw.
2. Insert negative loop wire to pin 2, tighten screw. This wire may be linked to a chart recorder or to negative terminal of power supply.

2.5 Display & Keypad
2.5.1 Display Overview
The Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) of the Alpha DO 500 Transmitter has two alpha-numerical displays (Upper and a Lower).
x Upper display: Measured dissolved oxygen reading (in % saturation or
ppm or mg/l) is displayed when the Transmitter is in normal operation (measurement) mode.
x Lower display: Measured temperature value is displayed when the
Transmitter is in normal operation (measurement) mode. In Calibration mode, calibration points are displayed here.
The two displays indicate function names, options & settings in Setup mode. Refer ‘Appendix 2 – Abbreviations Used in LCD’ for more details.
The LCD also consists of various mode indicators, status annunciators and unit of measurement indicators.

5.3 Offset Settings
In applications where continuous DO measurement is required, it may not be convenient to remove the electrode for calibration. In such cases, an on-line offset adjustment is recommended. The DO Transmitter allows you set an offset of up to ±
2.00ppm or ± 2.00 mg/l or ± 10.0% to compensate for errors in the electrode.
The DO Transmitter adds or subtracts the offset value from the measured DO value and displays the corrected value. However, if you need to offset the value beyond the average offset you would expect in your application type, consider a full calibration or even electrode replacement.

5.4 Temperature Settings
Temperature settings allow you to enable or disable Automatic Temperature Compensation (ATC) of the Transmitter.
Set the Transmitter to manual temperature compensation (disable ATC) when the temperature of sample or process liquid is constant and a temperature probe is not available. When you disable ATC, the Transmitter allows you to set your process temperature (PºC) and calibration temperature (CºC). This allows calibration at a different temperature other than the process temperature.

The range settings allow you to map the Transmitter output current range (4-20 mA) to dissolve oxygen reading range (Zoom window). You can define the lowest DO reading of the Transmitter to 4mA (LO) and the highest DO reading to 20mA (HI). The current output can then be connected to a chart recorder to plot the DO variations.
