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
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).

When the DataStick is absent the display will read “DataStick Absent” as shown in Figure 3
. If the sensor is
wired correctly and the “DataStick Absent” message appears, be sure that the DataStick Sensor has the correct
station number as indicated by the number in the lower right corner of the measure screen. If that is correct,
also check that baud rate and parity are set up correctly in the DataStick.

3. MENU STRUCTURE AND NAVIGATION
The Main Menu is accessed by pressing the MENU key when the AV38 is in Analyzer Mode (measure screen).
The menu structure is navigated using ENTER, UP/DOWN arrows, and ESC keys.
¾ Use the UP/DOWN arrow keys to scroll through the list of Menu options.
¾ Use the ENTER key to select an option.
¾ Use the ESC key to move up in the structure.
The end of the list of menu options is always the EXIT function. Pressing ENTER on the EXIT screen will bring
up the MEASURE screen.
The (≡) symbol is used to indicate that the user is in the menu structure. At the leaf of each branch of the menu
structure, the user is able to enter a value or make a choice. The value to be entered or the choice to be made
will be surrounded by parentheses (( )). The name of the value being entered or choice being made will appear
on the upper line of the screen and be appended with a question mark (?) to indicate that the user is to provide
input.
The RIGHT arrow symbol (>) on the screen indicates that downward navigation through the menu structure is
possible. The LEFT arrow symbol (<) on the screen indicates that upward navigation through the menu
structure is possible.
Calibration and configuration of a specific sensor is accessed by pressing the MENU key from the measure
screen for that sensor. Main menu items are listed as follows:

MAIN MENU NAVIGATION
¾ Enter the Main Menu by pressing the MENU key.
¾ Scroll the listing with the UP/DOWN arrow keys.
¾ To select an item, press the ENTER key.
If there is no keypad activity for 15 minutes and the display is left on a menu screen, the measure screen will
automatically re-appear. The exception to this rule is when the manual mode screen in the PID controller is
displayed. In this case, there will be no function time-out. The AV38 remembers the last menu option used and
will return to that menu option when re-entering the main menu from the measure screen. The list order is
always the same, so, if pressing MENU displays analog output and the desired operation is calibration; the UP
arrow will be used to move to the Calibrate menu.
