2. PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
2.1. System Overview
The AV38 is a universal display interface for DataStick measurement systems. The enclosure has ¼-DIN
dimensions for easy mounting and is rated NEMA 4X for outdoor use. It uses a liquid crystal display (LCD) with
chlorine sensor is connected. The AV38 supports up to two 4-20 analog outputs, two alarm/control/wash relays
and network communications to a host computer.
a high-contrast backlight for best readability and is powered with 24
volts DC. A line-powered version is also available.
Up to 247 DataStick measurement systems can be connected to a
single AV38 on a Modbus RTU communications network. Up to two of
the DataSticks connected can be mapped to “Channel 1” or “Channel
2” for direct local display, calibration, configuration and diagnosis. All
DataSticks can be accessed remotely when the host communications
hardware is present.
The AV38 automatically recognizes the type of DataStick connected to
it and provides the appropriate calibration, configuration and d
iagnostic
menus. A 10-point user-entered concentration table in the DataStick
can be edited and used to convert measured conductivity into %
concentration. PID control is a standard function when pH or
conductivity DataSticks are connected. Hypochlorous acid (HOCl) and
free chlorine concentrations are automatically available when a
The AV38 can operate in two different modes:
1. Analyzer Mode: Map up to two DataSticks to the display, analog outputs and relays. Switch the
display between the two DataSticks using the RIGHT and LEFT arrow keys. Access all DataSticks on
the network for local calibration, configuration or diagnostics using the menu system. When host
communications hardware is present, a host computer can simultaneously be used to acquire data or
remotely calibrate, configure or diagnose the DataStick that is locally selected for display. This mode is
primarily used when analog output, PID and relay functions are needed with a small network of
DataSticks.
2. Gateway Mode: The host computer has access to all measure, configure, calibrate and diagnose
commands for all connected DataSticks. In this mode the AV38 suspends all local functions including
menu access, data display, analog outputs and relays. This mode is primarily used when the host
computer collects digital data and analog outputs and relays are not needed. The AV38 allows local
configuration and calibration of DataSticks when the application requires it. Gateway mode is switched
to Measure Mode with a RIGHT arrow or LEFT arrow key press. It is not possible to enter Gateway
mode using the RIGHT or LEFT arrow keys when the Measurement is ppmFCL2 (free chlorine
concentration). This is because the AV38 needs to continuously acquire data from the chlorine
DataStick and, if necessary, the pH DataStick, in order to perform the free chlorine concentration
calculation.

AV38 Local Display and Controller User Guide 8
Page 11
When there is no DataStick present at the selected station address, the measure screen will indicate that the
DataStick is absent. When the sensor head is removed from the DataStick, the measure screen will indicate
that the sensor head is absent.
Host communication options include, Modbus, DeviceNet, and others. The host protocol is independent of the
Modbus RTU protocol used by the AV38 to communicate with the DataSticks.
There are seven keys for menu navigation. The MENU key is used to toggle between the menu and the
measure screen. Pressing the MENU key provides options for calibration, configuration, communications,
analog outputs and relays.
2.2. Base Part Numbers
Part numbers can be easily decoded to give descriptive information about included functions. The part number
is printed on the AV38 terminal block overlay where detailed information is provided on the host
communications protocols. The base part number and firmware version are displayed at power-up and in the
HELP menu. For example, if the display shows “AV38-CBYC, V4.00”, the AV38 has two analog outputs, two
relays and host communications, and is operating with version 4.00 firmware.
Base part numbers are decoded as follows:

Profibus DPV0/V1 Host communications can be obtained using an AV38 with Modbus RTU Host
communications (Y=4) connected to a Profibus-to-DataStick Communications Adapter (CA26R).
2.3. Sensor Mapping
Multiple DataStick sensors can be connected to a single AV38 and any number of them can be accessed
directly via digital host communications. To simplify local operation only two sensors can be mapped to the
display, the analog outputs and the relays at any one time. This is done by selecting the appropriate station
number for DataStick 1 (DS1) and DataStick 2 (DS2).

The AV38 can be set up to comm . The protocol selected is independent

Other Look for addendums on setting up other protocols that may be configured.
When Host Communications hardware is present, a host computer can communicate with the DataSticks
connected to the AV38.
There are two basic host communication modes; Gateway and Analyzer. When using either mode, it is better
to program the host device to respond to events rather than perform desired operations based on elapsed t
ime.
This is because there is a limited bandwidth between the AV38 and the DataSticks connected to it, and any
host commands not handled by the AV38 must be forwarded to a DataStick. If the host makes a request too
often, the system will slow down. Hard-coded timers are rigid, and it is difficult for the programmer to know how
often is too often. If the host waits for a response from the AV38 before sending the next request, slow-downs
can be avoided and the system will be more flexible.
Gateway Mode
Gateway mode is selected by setting the measure screen to Gateway using the LEFT and RIGHT arrow keys.
This disables all output and relay functions and allows the host computer to access all DataSticks connected to
the AV38 for remote measurement, calibration, configuration and diagnostics.
It is not possible to enter Gateway mode using the RIGHT or LEFT arrow keys when the Measurement is
ppmFCL2 (free chlorine concentration). This is because the AV38 needs to continuously acquire data from the
chlorine DataStick and, if necessary, the pH DataStick, in order to perform the free chlorine concentration
calculation. To enter Gateway mode in this case, first set the Chlorine Config | Measurement to ppmHOCL. If
a pH-compensated free chlorine concentration measurement is required, the host will have to perform the
calculation.
Analyzer Mode
It is also possible to communicate digitally with the DataSticks in the Analyzer mode where analog outputs and
relays remain active. In this mode it is possible for the host computer to communicate only with the two
DataSticks being displayed locally, i.e., mapped to the AV38’s two channels.

8. CHLORINE CONFIGURATION MENU
When configuring an AV38 for Chlorine measurement, the chlorine DataStick can be connected to channel 1
(DS1) or channel 2 (DS2). If a pH DataStick is to be used for compensation, it must be connected to the other
channel. For example, if a chlorine DataStick is connected to channel 1, then the pH DataStick must be
connected to channel 2.
A Chlorine DataStick connected at Station 1, will bring up a Chlorine Configuration selection in the main menu.
It will allow the measurement value to be selected as free chlorine or HOCl concentration. If free chlorine
concentration is selected, then the pH must be known. If the pH value of the process is constant, the Chlorine
Config menu provides a means to enter a fixed value for pH. If the pH value varies, then the pH can be
measured with a second DataStick sensor connected to the AV38. If a pH DataStick is present, then the
derivation of free chlorine concentration can be made by the AV38 using the HOCL concentration and
temperature measurement from the Chlorine DataStick, and the pH measurement from the pH DataStick. This
is done by selecting “pH DataStick” in the pH Source screen (under Chlorine Config). If a pH DataStick is no
detected by the AV38, the only op
tion under pH Source will be Fixed pH, where the value of the pH can entered
manually.

DataStick is detected by the AV38, this selection becomes available. If a pH DataStick is detected by the
AV38, then “pH DataStick” can also be selected. When this is done, the measured pH value is used to
calculate the free chlorine concentration.
Note: If a pH DataStick is used to calculate
the free chlorine concentration, the
sensor units must be pH. If they’re not, then the concentration calculation will be
done using the value entered through the Fixed pH Value screen. If the free chlorine
concentration measured by the AV38 is not as expected, please check to see if this
is the case.

The “Fixed pH Value” screen provides a way to set a fix
from the HOCl measurement. This single fixed entry ca
ed pH value that can be used to calculate free chlorine
n be used when a pH DataStick is not present or when
the process pH is tightly controlled to a known value. The default value is 7.00 pH.
If the sensor units on the pH DataStick are changed from pH to mV, the AV38’s pH Source will automatically be
changed to “Fixed pH”. The same thing will happen if the pH DataStick is exchanged for a DataStick of a
different type, DO, for ins
tance. This is because the calculation of the free chlorine concentration requires a pH
value.
It is not possible to enter Gateway mode using the RIGHT or LEFT arrow keys when the Measurement is
ppmFCL2 (free chlorine concentration). This is because the AV38 needs to continuously acquire data from the
chlorine DataStick and, if necessary, the pH DataStick, in order to perform the free chlorine concentration

12.3. Wash Relay Activation
A wash relay activates periodically for a specified length of time. It is assumed that the wash relay is connected
to some kind of automatic cleaning apparatus attached to a DataStick. While a wash relay is activated, the
analog outputs and relays are held because it is assumed that a DataStick is being washed and the sensor and
temperature values are not valid. A wash relay is controlled by the corresponding Interval, Duration, and Off
Delay. The Wash Cycle is disabled by setting the Interval to 0.
If WASH is selected, the following activation op

• At power-up, if the Interval value is greater than zero, the wash cycle is started by placing the outputs
in hold mode, activating the wash relay, and starting the duration counter.
