1.0 Introduction
The Walchem WDIS Series controllers are wall mount disinfection controllers that provide two relays
used to perform on/off control of chlorine, chlorine dioxide, ozone or Peracetic acid. Two additional
relays are available for use as alarms or probe washing. A fifth output is used as a diagnostic alarm.
An isolated 4-20 mA output is optional.
They are only compatible with Walchem sensors. The choice of the type of sensor is selected through
the keypad. The sensors are temperature compensated internally; no temperature signal is transmitted
to the controller. The controller will prompt you to calibrate the sensor at the desired frequency.

3.0 Unpacking and Installation
3.1 Unpacking the unit
Inspect the contents of the carton. Please notify the carrier immediately if there are any signs of
damage to the controller or its parts. Contact your distributor if any of the parts are missing. The
carton should contain a WDIS controller and instruction manual. Any options or accessories will be
incorporated as ordered.
3.2 Mounting the electronic enclosure
The WDIS series controller is supplied with mounting holes on the enclosure. It should be wall
mounted with the display at eye level, on a vibration-free surface, utilizing all 4 mounting holes for
maximum stability. Use M6 (1/4" diameter) fasteners that are appropriate for the substrate material of
the wall. The enclosure is NEMA 4X rated. The maximum operating ambient temperature is 122°F
(50°C). The enclosure requires the following clearances:
Top: 2"
Left: 8"
Right: 4"
Bottom: 7"
3.3 Installation
Once the enclosure is mounted, the metering pumps may be located at any distance from the
controller. The sensor may be placed up to 1000 feet (305m) from the controller. Shielded cable with
twisted pairs is required. Always route AC voltage wiring in conduit that is separated by 6 inches
from low voltage DC signal lines (such as the sensor signal).
Assembling the Sensor
CAUTION: Wear gloves and safety glasses during assembly of the sensor since the
electrolyte is a STRONG ACID. It is recommended to perform this operation over a sink with
running water available. After using, re-cap any remaining electrolyte until the next use.
1. Remove the black protective tube from the electrode tip, and clean just the tip of the working
electrode with the special abrasive paper supplied. Avoid touching the electrodes! Hold the pad
with the special abrasive paper and rub the electrode tip over it, holding the electrode at a slight
angle. Repeat several times at different angles.
2. Open the vial containing the membrane cap. Empty out the water. Make sure that only one gray
band is in the groove covering the vent hole in the membrane cap. Fill the membrane cap to the
top with the electrolyte fill solution. (The free chlorine membrane cap is shipped dry, and has only
one band)
3. Hold the sensor body vertically with the tip pointing down and SLOWLY screw on the membrane
cap until it is hand tight. Be prepared for some electrolyte solution to squeeze out from the vent hole in the cap.
4. Push the second gray band into the groove in the cap, making sure that the bands are smooth and
flush.
5. Rinse your hands, the sensor, and all surfaces contaminated with electrolyte solution with running
water. Check the sensor for leaks, especially at the membrane and the membrane cap threads. If
any leaks are detected, tighten the membrane cap or replace it.
3
Page 8
6. Push the cable onto the end of the sensor, aligning the pins with the holes. Turn the connector
until hand tight to seal the cable connection.
Flow Cell Placement
Instructions for mounting the sensor into the process can vary greatly with the circumstances that are
encountered in your application. Here are some general guidelines to assist you. Refer also to the
typical installation drawings.
The sensor should be mounted such that the measuring surfaces will always stay wet. If the membrane
dries out, it will respond slowly to changing disinfectant values for 24 hours, and if dried out
repeatedly, will fail prematurely.
The flow cell should be placed on the discharge side of a circulation pump or downhill from a gravity
feed. Flow into the cell must come from the bottom side that has the ¾” x ¼” NPT reducing bushing
installed. The reducing bushing provides the flow velocity required for accurate readings and
must not be removed!
A “U” trap should be installed so that if the flow stops, the sensor is still immersed in the water. The
outlet of the flow cell must be plumbed to open atmosphere unless the system pressure is at or below
1 atmosphere. If the flow through the line cannot be stopped to allow for cleaning and calibration of
the sensor, then it should be placed in a by-pass line with isolation valves to allow for sensor removal.
Install the sensor vertically, with the measuring surface pointing down, at least 5 degrees above
horizontal. (Refer to Installation drawings)
Flow rate regulation must be done upstream from the sensor, because any flow restriction downstream
can increase the pressure above atmospheric and damage the membrane cap!
The sensor should be installed in an area where there is good solution movement and where it will
respond rapidly to chemical additions. The placement of the sensor relative to the placement of
chemical replenishment, along with the quality of the mixing, and the replenishment chemical flow
rate are critical to accurate process control.
Installing Sensor into Flow Cell
1. Assemble the flow cell as shown below from the top down. The reducer should already be
installed in the flow cell body.
2. Slide the 102586 nut over the membrane end of the sensor, followed by the 103419 top washer,
followed by the 103422 o-ring, followed by the 103419 bottom washer (concave side up),
followed by the 103421 clip ring. The clip ring must be pushed up until it snaps into the groove in
the sensor body.
3. Place the 102594 o-ring in the top o-ring groove of the 102881 flow cell body.
4. Place the sensor body into the flow cell body, and tighten the 102586 nut until it is hand-tight.
Before tightening completely, pull the sensor up until the clip ring is up against the bottom
washer.
5. Insert the 191303 cable into the connector at the top of the sensor. The connector is keyed and
will only insert in one orientation.
The various standard wiring options are shown below. Your WDIS series controller will arrive from
the factory prewired or ready for hardwiring. Depending on your configuration of controller options,
you may be required to hardwire some or all of the output devices. Refer to figures 2, 3 and 4 for
circuit board layout and wiring.
Note: When wiring the optional 4-20 mA output or a remote flow switch, it is advisable to use
stranded, shielded, twisted pair wire between 22-26 AWG. Shield should be terminated at the
controller ground stud (see figure 4).
1. There are live circuits inside the controller even when the power switch on the front panel is in
the OFF position! The front panel must never be opened before power to the controller is
REMOVED!
If your controller is prewired, it is supplied with a 8 foot, 18 AWG power cord with USA
style plug. A tool (#1 Phillips driver) is required to open the front panel.
CAUTION
2. When mounting the controller, make sure there is clear access to the disconnecting device!
3. The electrical installation of the controller must be done by trained personnel only and
conform to all applicable National, State and Local codes!
4. Proper grounding of this product is required. Any attempt to bypass the grounding will
compromise the safety of persons and property.
5. Operating this product in a manner not specified by Walchem may impair the protection
provided by the equipment.

Startup is a simple process once your set points are in memory. Simply check your supply of
chemicals, turn on the controller, calibrate the sensor if necessary and it will start controlling.
4.6 Shutdown
To shut the WDIS controller down, simply turn off the power switch. Programming remains in
memory.
The sensor must be stored with the measuring surfaces wet. If an extended shutdown will result in
the sensor dehydrating, it must be removed from its position in the process and stored in a clean, dry
place, without electrolyte in the cap. To reinstall, follow the directions in section 3.3.

5.2 Sensor Menu
The sensor menu provides the following settings: Calibration history (informational only), 1 point
calibration, zero calibration, sensor type selection, and other sensor setup menus. Each is discussed in
detail below. Refer to the Sensor Menu chart on the next page.
Note: If you are programming the unit for the first time you must set the Sensor Type first, selecting
between Chlorine (CL2), Chlorine Dioxide (ClO2), Ozone, or Peracetic Acid. See below.
Cal'd
Displays the date of the last sensor calibration.
Calibration
Press ENTER to perform a 1 point process calibration of the sensor.
With the sensor installed in the flow cell, and a sample circulating at the normal flow rate, and the
oxidizer concentration at the normal level, press
show a ppm reading. If this does not match the known ppm as measured by a test kit or titration, use
the arrow keys to change the displayed value and press
Cal Successful/Cal Failed
If the sensor response is good, then the display will read "Cal Successful". If the controller cannot
calculate an acceptable slope from that mV reading, it will read "Cal Failed". A failure usually means
that the sensor needs to be cleaned or replaced.
Zero Calibration
This menu is used to calibrate the sensor to read precisely zero in pure water. It should be set at
installation with the sensor in air or pure water. This zero procedure should be repeated if a new
sensor is installed.
Press
ENTER to start the zero adjust procedure. When asked “SnsrInPureWater?”, remove the sensor
from the flow cell and dry it off. Alternatively, supply the flow cell with a sample of water without
any oxidizer in it. Use the arrow key to change the “N” to “Y” and press
to press
ENTER when the mV reading on the top line is stable. If the sensor offset was less than ±100
mV, the display will flash “SensorCalSuccess” and return to the Zero Calibration display. You may
now press
EXIT.
If the message “BadZero: CalFail” appears, the offset was too large for the software to compensate.
Check to see that the sensor is out of the bath and is dry and that all wiring connections are correct. If
none of these corrects the problem, install a new sensor.
Days Btwn Cal
Use the arrow keys to set the number of days that you would like to go by before recalibrating the
sensor. The controller will prompt you to recalibrate when that time has expired. Setting the number
of days to zero will disable this feature.

ppm (if Peracetic Acid).
Self Test
Press ENTER to perform a self-test. If it says "FAIL" in the upper right hand corner, try again with
the sensor wires disconnected. If it still says “FAIL”, this indicates a problem with the controller
which should be returned for repair. If it passes, and you have a problem calibrating, it is sensor
problem.
Sensor Type
Press ENTER to set up the controller to match the type of sensor to be used. Use the Up and Down
arrows to toggle between Cl2 (chlorine), ClO2 (chlorine dioxide), Ozone and Peracetic Acid, then
press

the acceptable range of set points may have changed.
Press any key to clear the warning message.
5.3 Control 1 and Control 2 Menus
The Control 1 and Control 2 menus are separate from each other but operate in exactly the same way.
Each menu provides the following independent settings: Set Point, Dead Band, Time Limit, Interlock,
Control Direction, HOA, Set Point, Dead Band, and Time Limit.
The top level menu status line may display the following messages: Off, Intrlck, Timeout, or a time.
"Off" indicates that the output is off. "Intrlck" indicates that a signal from a flow switch or level
switch is stopping control and has disabled the control outputs. "Timeout" indicates that the output has
been on for longer than the maximum time programmed by the user. The time shows that the output is
on, and has been for that amount of time. Refer to the Control 1 & 2 menus on the following pages.
Hi/Lo Set Point
Use the arrow keys to adjust the display to read the desired set point value. Press ENTER to accept the
change. To feed an oxidizer, select Low Set Point. To feed a reducing agent, select High Set Point.
This selection is made in the Control Direction menu described below.
Dead Band
Use the arrow keys to set the desired dead band, then press ENTER. If the low set point is 1.00 ppm,
and the dead band is 0.05 ppm, then the relay will close at 1.00 ppm and open at 1.05 ppm.
Time Limit
Use the arrow keys to set the time limit in min:sec for the output to be active, then press ENTER. If it
is set for "0:00", no limit will be imposed, and the output could stay on forever.
Interlock
Use the Up and Down arrows to toggle between Y(Yes) and N(No). Choosing Y means that the
output will deactivate if the device attached to the controller is open. For example, if the sensor is
installed in a recirculating pipe line, a flow switch that is closed if flow is sufficient and open if flow
18
Page 23
is insufficient may be installed in the line, so that if flow past the sensor stops, the controller will not
pump in chemicals based on a stagnant sample. Similarly, a level switch may be attached to prevent
control of an empty batch tank.
Control Dir
Press ENTER to change the direction of control, then use the Up and Down arrows to toggle between
High Set Point and Low Set Point, and press
on the relay when the process value goes below the set point value (to add an oxidizer, or as a low
alarm). A high set point will turn on the relay when the process value goes over the set point value (to
add a reducing agent, or as a high alarm).
HOA
Use the Left and Right arrows to move between Hand, Off and Auto. In Hand (Manual) mode, the
output will be turned on immediately for a maximum of 10 minutes. In the Off mode, the output will
be turned off indefinitely. In the Auto mode, the output turns on and off in response to changes in the
process value relative to the set point. The letter inside the block on the status screen indicates which
mode the output is in.

5.7 Access Code Menu
This menu determines whether the access code feature of the controller is enabled or disabled and
allows you to customize the access code to your own value. The access code controls whether or not
you are allowed to change the parameters in the controller. With the access code disabled, any user
may change any parameter. With the access code enabled, any user can view any parameter, but
cannot change them.
Once an attempt is made to change a parameter, the display will prompt the user to enter the access
code. If the correct code is entered, the parameter can be changed. (If the cursor is blinking, a change
will be allowed; if the number or words are not blinking, they can't be changed). Once the correct
access code has been entered, it will remain valid until there is a period of 10 minutes without a key
being pressed.
Possible status screens are: Access Code REQ, Access Code OK, and Access Code DIS.
The first indicates that the access code is required to alter settings. The second indicates that the
access code is required and has been entered correctly, and the last indicates that the access code has
been disabled.
Enable Y/N
Use the arrow keys to select Y(Yes) or N(No) and press ENTER to enable or disable the access code.
If the code was enabled, you must enter the access code in order to disable it.
New Access Code
Press ENTER to display the current access code value and use the arrow keys to change it to any value
between 0 and 9999. If the access code has been enabled, you will be prompted to enter the current
access code before being allowed to change it.
The factory default access code is 1995.
If you change the access code and can't remember it, follow this procedure:
1. Turn off the power to the controller.
2. Wait 10 seconds.
3. Press and hold the Up and Down arrow keys while turning on the power.
4. Read the access code on the display.
5. Release the arrow keys and the code will disappear.

6.0 Maintenance
The WDIS control module itself needs very little maintenance. Clean the outside of the controller
enclosure with a damp cloth. Do not spray down the controller unless the enclosure door is closed and
latched. "Pigtails" should be protected from spray or wash-down. Check the cords and cables for
damage.
6.1 Sensor Maintenance
Cleaning the Membrane
Instructions for cleaning the membrane vary depending upon the type of contamination. Follow the
directions for replacing the membrane shown below, replacing step 3 with one of these cleaning
methods:
For general deposits:
Rinse in clear cold water.
For calcium scale:
Soak in dilute (1% by volume) hydrochloric acid, then rinse in clear cold water.
For oils:
Rinse in isopropyl alcohol.
DO NOT use cleaners or detergents containing surfactants, as these will reduce the life of the
membrane.
If the sensor still cannot be calibrated after cleaning, replace the membrane cap as described below.
Replacing the Membrane
CAUTION: Wear gloves and safety glasses during assembly of the sensor since the electrolyte is a
STRONG ACID. It is recommended to perform this operation over a sink with running water
available. After using, re-cap any remaining electrolyte until the next use.
1. Hold the sensor vertically with the membrane facing down and carefully unscrew the membrane cap.
Always move the gray bands to uncover the vent hole before removing the cap!
2. Rinse the electrolyte fill solution off the cap and electrodes with cold water.
3. Discard the old membrane cap.
4. Unpack the new membrane cap, taking care not to touch the membrane or get it dirty.
5. Fill the membrane cap to the top with the electrolyte fill solution.
6. Hold the sensor body vertically with the tip pointing down and SLOWLY screw on the membrane
cap until it is hand tight. Be prepared for some electrolyte solution to squeeze out from the cap
7. Rinse your hands, the sensor, and all surfaces contaminated with electrolyte solution with running
water.
8. Check the sensor for leaks, especially at the membrane and the membrane cap threads. If any leaks
are detected, tighten the membrane cap or replace it.
28
Page 33
6.2 Replacing the Fuses
CAUTION: Disconnect power to the controller before opening front panel!
Locate the fuses on the circuit board at the back of the controller enclosure. (See figure 3.) Gently
remove the old fuse from its retaining clip and discard. Press the new fuse into the clip, secure the
front panel of the controller and return power to the unit.
Warning: Use of non-approved fuses can affect product safety approvals. Fuse ratings depend on
controller power rating. Specifications are shown below. To insure product safety certifications are
maintained, it is recommended that a Walchem fuse be used.
CAUTION: Disconnect power to the controller before opening front panel!
Troubleshooting and repair of a malfunctioning controller should only be attempted by qualified
personnel using caution to ensure safety and limit unnecessary further damage. Contact the factory.
7.1 Error Messages
Calibration Time
This message appears to prompt you to perform the routine maintenance of cleaning and calibrating
the sensor. It does not appear based upon any analysis of the condition of the sensor. The frequency
of calibration is set by the user in the "Days Between Cal" menu found in the "Sensor" menu. If you
do not want to be prompted to perform a calibration, set this menu to "0".
Cal Failed
The expected response is –100 mV/ppm for Cl2, ClO2, and Ozone, or –1 mV/ppm for Peracetic Acid.
The acceptable range is for –100 mV (or –1 mV for PAA) to equal 0.5 to 2.0 ppm. If the sensor
response is outside the acceptable range, refer the sensor’s instruction manual for troubleshooting.
Sens Low No Cal
The Calibrate menu will not allow a calibration if the concentration is too close to zero ppm. If the
sensor input is above –5 mV (approximately 0.05 ppm), this message will appear. If the actual
concentration is actually higher, refer to the sensor’s instruction manual for troubleshooting.
Probe Error No Cal
The Calibration menus will reject the calibration if the sensor is in a Probe Error condition. Refer to
the troubleshooting for Probe Error below.
29
Page 34
Bad Zero Cal Fail
The Zero Calibration will fail if the mV reading from the sensor is outside of the range –100 to 100
mV. If the actual concentration is actually zero, refer to the sensor’s instruction manual for
troubleshooting.
Output Timeout
This error message appears if one of the control outputs has been on longer than the maximum
amount of time programmed in the "Time Limit" menu found in the "Control 1" or "Control 2"
menus. It is reset by answering "Yes" to the "Reset Timer" prompt that will appear. There are a
number of possible reasons that the output could go on for longer than normal:
Possible Causes Corrective Action
1. The process went further out of control than normal. Increase time limit or reset timer.
2. The chemical supply has run out. Replenish the chemical supply.
3. The pump or valve or supply line is faulty. Repair or replace the control device.
4. Wrong chemical is being controlled. Replace with correct chemical.
5. The sensor is not responding to changes. Repair or replace sensor or cable.
High Alarm
This error message appears if the reading exceeds the set point for one of the AUX outputs that has
been configured as a high alarm output. There are a number of possible causes for this condition:
Possible Causes Corrective Action
1. The process went further out of control than normal. May have to increase chemical flow rate.
2. The chemical supply has run out. Replenish the chemical supply.
3. The pump or valve or supply line is faulty. Repair or replace the control device.
4. Wrong chemical is being controlled. Replace with correct chemical.
5. The electrode is not responding to changes. Repair or replace sensor or cable.
6. The pump is siphoning, valve leaking. Repair or replace the control device or re-route tubing.
7. Control output has been left in "HAND" mode. Switch back to "AUTO".
8. It may be a normal part of the process. None required.
Low Alarm
As above for "High Alarm", except that the reading is below the set point of one of the AUX outputs
that has been set up as a low alarm output. Refer to the possible causes and corrective actions listed
above for the "High Alarm" error message.
Out Range Alarm
This error message appears if the reading is outside of the range selected for one of the AUX outputs
that has been programmed as an "Out of Range Alarm". Refer to the possible causes and corrective
actions listed above for the "High Alarm" error message.
In Range Output
This error message appears if the reading is inside of the range selected for one of the AUX outputs
that has been programmed as an "In Range Alarm". Refer to the possible causes and corrective
actions listed above for the "High Alarm" error message.
Refer to sensor instructions.
Evaluate mixing or recirculation.
Refer to sensor instructions.

Probe Error
This error message appears if the sensor input signal is outside of the normal range. This usually
indicates that the sensor has been disconnected or is faulty. It could appear under normal conditions if
the Cl2, ClO2 or Ozone is outside of the operating range of 0 to 10 ppm, or if the Peracetic Acid is
outside of the normal range of 0 to 100 ppm.
Possible Causes Corrective Action
1. Controller is faulty; fails self test(see section 5.2) Re-check sensor self test with the sensor cable disconnected.
2. Sensor has no power to it. Check +5V, -5V terminals vs COM terminal. Should read
3. Sensor is faulty. Indicated if ±5VDC power out of spec w/sensor attached, but
4. Sensor is faulty. Repair or replace sensor or cable.
Interlock
This error message indicates that control has been stopped because the dry contact signal from a flow
switch or level switch is now open and one or more control outputs have been programmed to
interlock.
Possible Causes Corrective Action
1. Flow has stopped, level too low. May be a normal condition, if not, restore flow or level.
2. Flow, level switch disconnected. Reconnect.
3. Flow, level switch faulty. Verify that switch closes using an ohmmeter. If not, repair
4. Controller faulty. Check the flow switch input by removing the switch wires
Check Set Points
This is a normal display if you have changed the type of sensor from one type of sensor to another.
The default set points for each choice is different, and will not match what you need for your
application. Always select the sensor type before setting the control or auxiliary output set points.
If it still fails, send controller back for repair. If it passes,
sensor is faulty.
