• Manual temperature compensation setti ng without the ATC probe, with independe nt setting for calibration and pr ocess

temperature.

• Two galvanically isolated current outputs 0/4...20mA.

• Two switching contacts as set-point relays.

• 0 to 2000 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.

• Separate alarm relay alerting you to s et point limits ex ceeded for a certain t ime and if the NTC300 thermistor wires ar e

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.

1. Enter Calibration mode as described in section 5.1. The display shows “CAL PH” (for pH calibration).

Note: If the display reads “CAL ORP”, see section 6.9 for procedures on how to switch from ORP to pH

readings.

2. Press the ENT key to start calibration. T he “CAL” indicator appears at the top of display and the buffer
indicator appears in the bottom corner of the display. The display sho ws the actual pH reading (upper
value) and the buffer value for zero point (lower value). For the offset (zero point) calibration, there are
two values to choose from. They are pH 7.00 or pH 6.86. Using the ▲ and▼ keys, choose the value
that matches with the buffer used.

3. Place the electrode in the first buffer solution. In ATC mode, you must also immerse the temperature
probe in the buffer solution.

4. You can conduct either a one-point or a two-point calibration: Press the ENT for two point calibration or
the CAL key for one point calibration. The electrode indicator and CAL indicator both flash for a fe w
seconds. The controller automatically adjusts the reading to match the buffer value.

5. If one-point calibration was selected, the display will show the zero point in the lower section of the
display and the slope (default or using previous two-po int calibration) in the upper section of the display.
Proceed to step 7 after zero point display. If two-point calibration was selected, the lower section of the
display will now show its next lower “pH” buffer. Use ▲ and ▼ keys to select the second buffer from one
of these preset value: - pH 1.68, pH 4.01, pH 9.00, pH 9.18 and pH 10.01. Remove the electrode from
the first buffer, wash and then immerse it into the second buffer. Press the ENT key, the electrode
indicator and CAL indicator will flash for a few seconds. The controller adjusts the reading to the second
buffer.

6. After calibrati ng the second buffer value, the controller will automatically display the slope in the upper
and the zero point in the lower section of the display.

Note: You can also view the values for zero point and slope without calibration (see section 5.5 for
instruction). The zero point and slope are pre-determined after each calibration.

7. Press the ENT key to return t o the Measurement mode.

Note: If you entered the Calibration mode from the Setup mode, the controller will return to the setup menu.

Note: If there is a calibration error, the controller displays “CAL ERR”. If this happens, push

both ▲ and ▼ keys (escape) to restart the calibration beginning from Step 1.

6.2 Electrode Offset (OFS) sub-function

The electrode offset sub-function is only available if the transmitter is configure d for pH measur ing. Use
this sub-function to set an offset that corrects the readings without removing the electrode from t he
control system. The setting range is ± 120 mV.

The transmitter will add or subtract the offset value from the measuring pH and display 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.

1. Take a sample from the system. Record the controller’s pH read ing at the time you take the sample.

2. Measure the pH value of you r sample using a calibrated pH tester, hand-held meter, or bench meter.
Record the correct pH value.
