A key feature of the YSI 5200 is that it is designed using FLASH memory allowing software updates to
be easily accomplished. Refer to Section 9.1.5 Downloader (Upgrading Software) for instructions on
upgrading the software in the YSI 5200.
Powering the YSI 5200
Primary power for the YSI 5200 is either a wall mount power transformer providing 8.5 to 16 VDC at
700 mA or any power source providing voltage and current in the stated operating range. The YSI 5200
comes standard with a 12VDC 700 mA wall mount power supply. In addition, an optional 12VDC battery
backup input is available for powering the YSI 5200 should the primary power fail.
The YSI 5200 design incorporates FLASH Memory, RAM, and a battery backed-up real-time clock.
Should power be lost, none of the parameter setpoints or configuration data will be lost. However,
during a power failure, data in the data-log will be erased if no backup power is provided to the
unit.
Control Capability
The YSI 5200’s software gives it the capability for parameter control as well as monitoring. Using the 4
built in control relays, a wide variety of monitoring and control features can be automatically activated.
The sensors gather information and relay it to the YSI 5200 controller. The 5200 can directly control
devices through the four built-in relay outputs. Each device that the YSI 5200 controls, such as a heater or
chiller, can be programmed
Timing System
The timing control feature allows the YSI 5200 to control external devices such as a lighting system. The
timing system will support up to 4 independent control times per 24 hours. Each channel has one ON and
OFF time per 24-hour period.
Alarm System
The alarm system provides visual and audible notification in the event that a monitored parameter
exceeds the user defined range. Used in conjunction with the YSI 5201 modem (or a computer running
AquaManager software and equipped with a compatible modem), it provides remote alarm notification

YSI Incorporated 9 5200 Recirculating System Monitor
WARNING: To avoid severe personal injury or damage to the equipment, installation, operation and
Not
service should be performed by qualified personnel who are thoroughly familiar with the entire contents
of this manual.
3.2 Selecting an Installation Location
The 5200 monitor is an on-line continuous measurement tool that can be used to control various
operations and provide valuable insight into the facility’s operation. As with any instrument of this type,
proper installation is the first important step to ensure you are provided with reliable performance and
accurate data. Installation of the monitor and probe should be carefully planned in advance to obtain the
most effective and accurate utilization of the equipment.
3.2.1 Choosing a Probe Location
Probe location is determined by the necessity to obtain water quality readings which are representative of
the bulk flow stream. A suitable location should take a number of physical and chemical factors into
consideration. See Section 3.5 Installing the 5562 or 5561 Probe Assemblies.
Ö Standard probe cable lengths for the 5200 are 4, 10 and 20 meters. Consider the entire distance
required for cable routing when determining cable length requirements and mounting locations.
Ö The probe must be located in the flow stream where the sensors will remain submersed at all
times and level fluctuations will not expose them to the atmosphere.
Ö The probe must be placed in a well mixed, free-flowing area of the process stream. The flow
stream should be representative of the process being monitored/controlled. Placing the probe
midstream and mid-depth typically gives the most reliable results.
Ö Ideally, the probe should be placed at an angle within 45° of vertical and directed with the flow
direction (see Figure 3-1). This location will provide for the least stress on the support arm
holding the probe while minimizing the opportunity to collect debris. Placement against the flow
stream or perpendicular to the flow stream also provides accurate monitoring, but inspection and
cleaning may be required more frequently due to increased collection of debris.

The flow stream should be as free as possible of debris (e.g., algae) which could collect on the probe and
cause erroneous readings. See 3.5 Installing the 5562 or 5561 Probe Assemblies for flow requirements.
YSI Incorporated 10 5200 Recirculating System Monitor
Note that this is an on-line device that is measuring actual conditions in real time. Composite sampling
N
for pH, for example, will not match on-line monitoring. Therefore, pH values recorded by the chart
recorder and/or plant control system connected to the 5200 Monitor cannot be averaged to equal the pH of
a composite sample.
3.2.2 Choosing a Monitor Location
The probe measures conditions in the flow stream and transmits a low voltage signal to the 5200 Monitor.
The probe is attached to a cable that is equipped with a “military grade” watertight connection to the
monitor.
Several options are available for mounting the 5200 Monitor. Easy to use, wall mount brackets (006515
Flange Mounting Kit) are provided with the 5200. If rail or panel mounting is desired, the 6509 Rail
Mount Kit and 6510 Panel Mount Kits are available as accessories.
NOTE: The 5200 Monitor is provided with a weatherproof enclosure that will withstand most
environmental conditions with no compromise to system performance. An optional Weather
Shield (YSI #6505) is available for added protection from the elements. When mounting the 5200
outdoors the 6505 Weather Shield should be used.

Locating the monitor close to the sample location has advantages since accuracy checks and calibration
can be more easily facilitated under this arrangement. For example, a recently calibrated, hand-held
dissolved oxygen meter can be placed next to the 5200’s probe and readings can be compared.
Probe cables for the 5200 Monitor are available in 4 (13.1 ft), 10 (32.8 ft) and 20 (65.6 ft) meter lengths.
The probe cable length determines the maximum distance the monitor can be mounted from the sample
being measured.
Location of the 5200 Monitor should be elevated and in a dry place above the potential flood level. The
unit should be easily accessible for an operator or technician.
Although the monitor is suitable for outdoor use, it should be located in an area where temperature
extremes, vibrations, electromagnetic and radio frequency interference are minimal. Select an installation
location that is at least two (2) feet from any high voltage conduit. Avoid mounting on severely vibrating
YSI Incorporated 11 5200 Recirculating System Monitor
structures or near a high heat source, AC motor or transformer, radio transmitter or antenna. Be sure the
monitor can be fully opened and serviced at its installed location by maintenance personnel.
3.3 Installing the Components
There are three basic parts to installing the YSI 5200 Monitor, which are covered in the following
sections:
Ö Installing the YSI 5200 Monitor hardware and additional components
Ö Installing the probe assembly
Ö Wiring the 5200 Monitor
3.3.1 Sealants, Desiccants and Securing the Monitor
Since the 5200 Monitor will likely be subjected to environmental conditions that promote formation of
condensation, it is very important to follow the instructions below before securing the cover to your
unit(s). This will prevent damage to the electronic components within the Monitor and extend the life of
the monitoring system.
The 5200 Monitor is shipped with three compression fittings. The small compression fitting on the left
side of the bottom panel is to be used for the power supply wire. The two larger compression fitting are
supplied with solid plugs installed. These solid plugs should be left in place if no other electrical
connections are to be made to the 5200.
If electrical connections are required for control relays, PC connections or other devices, there are a
number of options to ensure a watertight installation to the 5200’s case.
1. Solid plugs, located in the 2 larger compression fitting, can be frozen (put in a freezer for 1 hour) and
then easily drilled to the required diameter. The drill bit diameter should be slightly smaller than the
wire diameter so that a watertight seal can be made.
2. Compression plugs with two different pre-sized holes are supplied with the 5200 Monitor. The hole
size in the plugs varies with the amount of torque applied to the compression nut. To install a predrilled plug, the solid plug can be “pushed out” of the compression fitting housing and the pre-drilled
plug installed.
3. Optional conduit fittings (YSI #065926) can be installed in place of the compression fittings. When
using conduit fittings, industrial encapsulant (YSI #065921 conduit sealer) must be used to prevent
moisture from entering the 5200 monitor. After all wiring and connections are complete, apply the
sealant to the conduit openings from the inside of the 5200 Monitor. Failure to use industrial
encapsulant may result in damage to the 5200 Monitor.
Also included with the 5200 Monitor is a desiccant pack, YSI #6506. Desiccant absorbs moisture
captured within the enclosure. After all wiring and connections are complete (just before the cover is to be
installed), place the desiccant pack inside the 5200 enclosure near the bottom right corner. Remove the
desiccant from its protective packet prior to installation.
Secure the monitor’s cover using four mounting screws. Note that the cover contains a captured rubber
gasket that provides weatherproofing. Make certain that the gasket is in place and not twisted or damaged.
Make certain that the large blue ribbon cable is not trapped in the gasket channel before inserting the
screws. When securing the screws, take care not to cross thread. The screws are stainless steel, and the
receiving threads are brass. Do not over-tighten!
CAUTION: Anytime the 5200 cover is removed, replace the desiccant pack with a new pack. Anytime
the 5200 front panel is removed, place it on top of the 5200 Monitor or secure it so that the blue ribbon
cable does not bear the weight of the cover.

Flange Mounting Kit) are provided. If rail or panel mounting is desired, the 6509 Rail Mount Kit and
6510 Panel Mount Kits are available as accessories.
3.4.1 Wall Mounting Option
Although the monitor is designed for outdoor deployment, some operators may prefer the convenience of
reading the monitor under shelter, for example, inside a nearby building. Figure 3-4 shows this indoor
type of installation. Wall-mounting the 5200 Monitor is a simple process using the enclosed 006515
mounting hardware.
YSI Incorporated 13 5200 Recirculating System Monitor

3.4.2 Optional 6509 – Rail Mount Kit
The 5200 Monitor can be easily mounted to pipe or handrail (1 to 1½ inch diameter) using the optional
6509 Rail Mount Kit. When using the 6509 Rail Mount Kit, the 006515 mounting flanges will have to be
modified by drilling two holes to accept the u-bolts. The predrilled metal plates can be used as a template.
CAUTION: The monitor should not be mounted on electrical conduit, a hot or vibrating pipe or structure,
or near a high heat source, an AC motor, transformer, radio transmitter or antenna.
3.4.3 Optional 6505 – Weather shield
The Weather Shield provides wall or optional rail mounting capability for the 5200 Monitor.
CAUTION: The monitor should not be mounted on electrical conduit, a hot or vibrating pipe or structure,
or near a high heat source, an AC motor, transformer, radio transmitter or antenna.
YSI Incorporated 15 5200 Recirculating System Monitor
3.4.4 Optional 6510 – Panel Mount Kit
Panel mounting the 5200 Monitor is a simple process using the 6510 Panel Mount hardware and the
following tools; 5/32” Allen wrench, Philips screwdriver, and the necessary tools for cutting the mounting
hole in the control panel. The 5200 Monitor may be mounted in any panel with 9.5”L x 7.5”W space
available, and behind the panel depth of 5.5”.
YSI Incorporated 16 5200 Recirculating System Monitor
3.5 Installing the 5562 or 5561 Probe Assemblies
CAUTION: Keep pH and ORP probe tips IN A MOIST ENVIRONMENT at all times.
After you have chosen suitable sites for the monitor and probe, proceed with the probe installation as
described below.
Avoid routing probe cabling near wiring associated with rotating machinery and/or equipment involving
electrical switching or regulation. In all cases, it is desirable to locate the probes away from sources of
electrical interference such as UV sterilizers, florescent lighting, ballasts, pumps, etc. Consider placing
probe cabling in grounded metallic conduit if unstable readings appear due to electromagnetic
interference.
The 5200 can be configured with either a 5562 multiprobe assembly (DO, Conductivity, Temperature,
and optional pH or pH/ORP sensors) or a 5561 DO/Temp probe assembly.
NOTES: When the 5200’s control functions are to be used, probe placement will be critical to the
operation of the system. Consequently, a professional should be consulted when designing the
system.
Water flow is important to the operation of the DO sensor. In addition, the mixing action provided
by water flow ensures that the area of sampled water is representative of the entire body of water.
Probe installation steps:
1. Select a suitable location for the probe assembly that allows for adequate water flow across the
DO sensor (approximately 0.5 ft/sec).
2. Select a method of securing the probe assembly.
3. Determine a method of routing and securing the cable.
In-Filter Location— A common place for probe location is in the filter. Installing probes in a filter or
sump requires that the probe be secured or hung in an area that will allow for adequate water flow across
the DO sensor (approximately .5 ft/sec).
In-Filter Location Using a Float—A float installation keeps probes at a constant depth, and is
economical to purchase or construct.
To construct a probe float, cut a hole (slightly smaller than the probe diameter) through a small piece of
Styrofoam. Insert the probe into the float so that the entire sensor guard protrudes through the Styrofoam
and the sensors are completely submerged.
In-Tank Location—Installing the probe assembly in a tank requires that the assembly be secured or
hung in an area that will allow for adequate water flow across the DO sensor (approximately 0.5 ft/sec). It
is preferred that the probe be secured so that the cable is not constantly flexed.
If using the 5562, the probe assembly can be secured using the 5205 Probe Mounting Kit or 6511 Probe
Rail Mount Kit. See Section 3.5.2 5205 and 6511 – Optional Probe Mount Kits for 5562 Probes. A
mounting kit is not available for the 5561 probe.
In-Line Location Using a Tee-Fitting—Although in-line probe placement is more time consuming and
requires some extra plumbing, it has been found to be a very effective and safe way to place probes. Inline placement gives accurate readings because water is moving across the probe tips at all times. It also
minimizes biological growth on the sensors.
IMPORTANT NOTE: When maintenance and/or calibration of the sensors is required, the probe
assembly will have to be removed from the in-line fitting. Take this into account when designing the
system. If water flow must be maintained during maintenance, by-pass plumbing will be required.
YSI Incorporated 17 5200 Recirculating System Monitor
For this type of installation, the probe guard is removed and the probe is threaded into a tee-fitting using
the probe guard’s threads. All probes need to be placed into the flow stream. YSI does not provide tee
fittings for this type of installation.
Thread size for 5562 multiparameter probe assembly: 1.50-12 UNF 2A
Thread size for 5561 DO/Temp probe assembly: ¾-27 Class 2 thread
In–Line Location Using A Flow Cell (5562 Probe only) – The 5083 Flow Cell can be connected
anywhere in the pumping system where a water flow rate of 2–3 L/minute can be obtained. Maximum
pressure rating for the 5083 is 25 psi. A portion of water from a pump discharge line can be diverted
through the 5083 Flow Cell, or a method with a designated pump can be utilized.
3.5.2 5205 and 6511 – Optional Probe Mount Kits for 5562 Probes
NOTE: The 6511 kit includes Clamps for Rail Mounting. The 5205 Kit does not include mounting
hardware.

Figure 3-5 Probe Mounting Kit
5205 and 6511 Probe Mount Kits allow a 5562 Probe to be deployed in a permanently mounted two-inch
schedule 40 PVC tube. The schedule 40 PVC is not included in the kit. Once installed, the probe is
deployed by gently sliding it down the tube, where it will rest on a stop cap at the end of the tube. The
sensors and probe guard will protrude through a hole in the stop cap at the end of the tube. See Figure 3-5.
When mounting to a 1–1½″ railing, the 6511 kit should be used. It includes brackets and u-bolts for rail
mounting and a stop cap and adaptor. See Figure 3-5.
When mounting to structures other than 1–1½″ railing, a 5205 kit should be used. When using the 5205
kit, the installer must develop a method of mounting the 2″ PVC tube to a permanent structure. The 5205
kit consists of a stop cap and adapter and does not include mounting hardware.
The 5205 and 6511 Kits should not be mounted on hot or vibrating pipes or structures, or near high heat
sources, AC motors or transformers, radio transmitters or antennas.
CAUTION: Do not mount on electrical conduit.

The following steps should be followed when mounting the 5205 or 6511 Probe Mount Kit.
1. With the 3 setscrews removed from the adapter, slide the adapter over the 5562 Probe. Align the
open screw holes directly over the 3 hex bolts located on the side of the 5562 Probe.
2. Insert the setscrews so that they seat into the head of the probe’s hex bolts.
CAUTION: Do not over-tighten the setscrews or damage to the probe body or adapter may
occur.
NOTE: The 5562 Probe Assembly can be deployed without the probe guard attached. When doing so,
application related precautions must be considered or system performance can be compromised.
Deployment without the guard is preferred as the effects of low water flow and fouling are
reduced, but exposed sensors or the DO membrane, can be damaged if not properly protected.
3. Attach the stop cap to the end of a PVC pipe using PVC cement, as per instructions on the cement
can label, ensuring that the stop cap is positioned straight and the pipe is fully inserted.
4. 5205 Only: Firmly mount PVC pipe to permanent structure. Skip to Step 9.
5. Loosely fasten two 1½” u-bolts on each mounting plate to the railing, orientated as shown in
Figure 3-7.

7. Slide the uncapped end of the PVC pipe up through the 2” u-bolts until there is approximately 1”
of the PVC pipe above the upper mounting plate, and tighten 2” u-bolts. Note: Do not over
tighten u-bolts or deformation of the PVC pipe may occur.
8. Tighten all remaining u-bolts to secure pipe.
9. Slowly slide the 5562 Probe/Adapter Assembly down the PVC pipe until it rests on the Stop Cap.
10. Connect the cable to the 5200 Monitor.
3.6 Wiring the System
WARNING: All wiring involving connections to mains power must be performed by a qualified licensed
electrician, and must conform to all locally applicable electrical codes. Any mains power circuit
connected within the YSI 5200 enclosure must be protected by a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupt device.
Do not make connections while power is applied. Disconnect power before proceeding.
WARNING: The 5200 utilizes sensitive solid-state devices that can be damaged by static shock.
Installers must observe accepted ESD (Electro-Static Discharge) procedures while connecting cabling to
the 5200 I/O plate or damage may result.
The 5200 Monitor has one MS-19 connector and three compression fittings in the bottom of the monitor
housing. The two larger compression fittings can be replaced with ¾ inch conduit fittings. From a front
view, the smaller compression fitting on the left is for 12-volt power. The opening on the right is for
communications and I/O wiring and the center opening is for relay wiring.
NOTE: The 5200 Monitor is supplied with components necessary to make reliable electrical connections.
When received, pluggable sockets are installed in the power, relay, RS485 and auxiliary ports.
These sockets are to be unplugged prior to making electrical connections and reinstalled after
connections are made.
CAUTION: It is essential that all sensor wiring be run in a separate cable or conduit from power wiring.

3.6.1 DC Power Input Wiring
12VDC power for the 5200 Monitor may be supplied by the YSI 5578/5579 power supply accessory
provided with the unit, or by a 12VDC source supplied by the user.
CAUTION: The YSI 5578/5579 power supply accessory is for indoor use only, and must be connected to
the 5200 Monitor with a suitable waterproof extension cable if the 5200 Monitor is installed in a damp
location.
For outdoor or damp locations, the YSI 5578/5579 power supply may also be installed in a NEMA 4X
enclosure adjacent to the 5200.
3.6.2 Installing the 5578/5579 Power Supply
When using the 5579 power supply it should be wired as follows: (see Figure 3-9)
• Connect the Inline Power Ferrite Assembly, YSI# 655385, to the I/O plate power connector. Failure
to do so could cause catastrophic monitor failure.
• Route the 5578/5579 power supply wire through the small compression fitting and into the case.
• Connect the 5578/5579 wires to the 4-pole 605223UL Pluggable Socket Connector so that the white
wire goes to Main (+) and black wire to Common (-).
• Connect the 4-pole 605223UL Pluggable Socket Connector to Inline Power Ferrite Assembly.
• Tighten compression fitting. See Section 3.3.1 Sealants, Desiccants and Securing the Monitor.
WARNING: A UL Listed DC power supply is required for any installation which is connected to “mains
YSI Incorporated 21 5200 Recirculating System Monitor
supply” or other power source which is “hazardous live” per UL 3101-1 Section 3.5.2.
The 5200 Monitor may be powered by any regulated 8.5–16.5 VDC source that can provide
approximately 800mA of current and is isolated from mains supply by double or reinforced insulation.
(An unregulated supply may also be acceptable if the peak output voltage does not exceed 16.5VDC.)
WARNING: A UL Listed slow-blow fuse with a maximum current rating of 1A must be connected in
series with the positive terminal of any power supply not provided by YSI.
CAUTION: Power supply voltage above 16.5VDC may permanently damage the 5200 Monitor.
When the front panel of the 5200 Monitor is removed, take care not to drop the cover since it is not
hinged to the Monitor.
CAUTION: The sensitivity and stability of the monitor will be impaired if the monitor is not grounded.
Do not apply power to the Monitor until all electrical connections are verified and secure. Connect earth
ground to the 5200 I/O plate (see Figure 3-8 I/O Plate).
3.6.3 Back-up Power
WARNING: A UL Listed slow-blow fuse with a maximum current rating of 1A must be connected in
series with the positive terminal of the back-up supply.
The 5200 Monitor will automatically switch to auxiliary battery back-up operation if primary voltage
drops below 8.5 VDC, providing back-up power is connected. For proper back-up power operation, use
the YSI 5578/5579 Power Supply as the primary power source. Use of a different primary power supply
may prevent proper switching to back-up power.
WARNING: A UL Listed DC power supply is required for any installation which is connected to “mains
supply” or other power source which is “hazardous live” per UL 3101-1 Section 3.5.2.
The auxiliary power source is user supplied and can come from a variety of choices including lead acid or
gel cell external batteries. The 5200 will not charge batteries, so quality assurance maintenance
procedures must be established if batteries are used as the back-up power source.
Input power requirements for back-up operation are the same as primary power, 8.5–16.5 VDC at
approximately 800mA. With no primary power, when the back-up voltage falls below 7.0 volts the 5200
will cease to operate properly.
Connecting back-up power to the 5200 Monitor
Refer to Figure 3-9.
• If necessary, disconnect power to the 5200 Monitor
• Route the back-up supply wire through the compression fitting and into the case. See Section 3.3.1
Sealants, Desiccants and Securing the Monitor.
• Connect the back-up wires to the 4-pole 605223UL Pluggable Socket Connector so that the positive
wire goes to the Back-up (+) terminal and the negative wire goes to the Common (-) terminal.
• Connect the 4-pole 605223UL Pluggable Socket Connector to Inline Power Ferrite Assembly. Failure
to do so could cause catastrophic monitor failure.
• Connect the Inline Power Ferrite Assembly to the I/O plate power connector.
IMPORTANT: After completing system installation, test back-up power by removing main power while
all control/alarm relays are energized. At cold temperatures, logged data may be lost due
to temporary power loss when switching to battery backup power.
YSI Incorporated 22 5200 Recirculating System Monitor
CAUTION: The sensitivity and stability of the monitor will be impaired if the monitor is not grounded.
Do not apply power to the Monitor until all electrical connections are verified and secure.
3.7 Communications Method
The 5200 has three methods of communication:
Ö RS232 TCP/IP Serial Port—to directly connect with a computer or network
Ö Modem—to communicate with a computer or pager via phone line
Ö RS485 Network—to directly connect with other 5200s
3.7.1 RS232 and TCP/IP Port
RS232 serial and TCP/IP communications are made through the TCP/IP port. This port can be
permanently connected to a PC or network for continuous monitoring applications, or to the 5201 Modem
sending alarm messages via phone. The RS232/TCP/IP port uses a standard RJ-45 connector.
Two snap on ferrite assemblies, YSI# 655361, are included with the 5200 Monitor. Wires being
connected to the communication port need to be routed through the ferrites as shown in Figure 3-9.
Failure to do so could cause catastrophic monitor failure.
RS232 PC Connection
When connecting the 5200 via the serial port to a PC for continuous operation, use an inline RS232 OptoIsolator device (YSI# 5285 or equivalent) to prevent ground loops. Failure to use this device may cause
incorrect DO, pH, ORP and conductivity data to be displayed and logged. Mount the isolator as close to
the PC as possible or in an area where it is protected from moisture.

Supplied with the 5200 are a YSI# 655384 Straight-pinned Cat 5 EIA568 compliant network patch cable
and pre-wired YSI# 655383 RJ-45 to DB-9 Adapter. The supplied cable and adapter are only intended to
be used for software upgrades or downloading data. Do not use this cable for long-term installation as the
compression fitting cannot form a proper seal. See Section 3.3.1 Sealants, Desiccants and Securing the
Monitor.
Bulk cable for permanent installations must be round (to allow the compression fitting to seal) and should
be purchased locally. A crimping tool will be required to install RJ-45 connectors to each end of the
cable.
IMPORTANT: 1. The connector that is to connect inside the case should be crimped after the cable is
run through the compression fitting.
2. Round cable must be used so a watertight seal at the compression can be achieved.
TCP/IP LAN Connection
An Ethernet serial server is required to connect the 5200 to a LAN. The serial server must be assigned a
static IP address.

Table 3-1
To connect the 5200 to an EIA-232 device, it needs to be determined if the device connector wiring
follows the standard for data terminal equipment (DTE) or for data communication equipment (DCE). In
general, modems are wired as DCE devices and all other devices are wired as DTE; however, some
equipment manufacturers may deviate from the standard. In most cases, you use "straight through" RJ-45
cable. If you use "crossover" RJ-45 cable, the RJ-45 pins will be reversed.
3.7.2 5201 Modem
The YSI 5201 Modem is available only for use within the United States. For modem support outside the
US, an external modem registered for use within the local country is required. See Section 17
International Modem Support.
The YSI 5201 Modem mounts inside the 5200 case and connects to the RS232/TCP/IP Port. Refer to the
5201 Modem Installation Instructions, included with the modem, for details.
CAUTION: The phone line entering the 5200 case must be #26 AWG wire and must be sealed where it
enters the case or the instrument may be seriously damaged.
CAUTION: The ground wire from the 5201 Modem must be connected to the ground screw on the 5200
I/O plate.
3.7.3 RS485 Network
Connecting 5200s via the RS485 network is described in 8.1 RS485 Network.
YSI Incorporated 25 5200 Recirculating System Monitor
3.8 Grounding Information
This section contains important installation information regarding grounding of the 5200 Monitor.
Connect earth ground to the 5200 I/O panel as described below in 3.9 Safety ISSUES.
The probe is powered by the 5200 Monitor and will be operated with a “floating” ground reference. This
requires that the probe not be individually grounded. Grounding the probe individually will cause a
“ground loop”; i.e. one conductor of the probe output grounded common to both the probe and the
monitor. Grounding the probe will cause significant performance problems with the sensors and likely
result in erroneous readings.
CAUTION: Do not ground the probe body.
All tanks should be electrically grounded via a ground probe.
3.9 Safety Issues
The electrical system must be grounded via the I/O plate to avoid possible electrical shock or damage to
the equipment (see Figure 3-8 I/O Plate).
WARNING: Turn off all power and assure power “lockout” before servicing to avoid contact with
electrically powered circuits.
To avoid possible electrical shock, do not touch other circuit components when making adjustments to the
5200 Monitor circuit board. Disconnect external power to the unit before connecting or disconnecting
wiring.
3.10 Lightning and Surge Protection
Surge protectors are strongly recommended to protect from secondary surges and lightning on outdoor
installations.
Surge suppression devices should be located on the AC line supplying power to the 5200 Monitor and any
signal lines connecting the 5200 Monitor.
AC line voltage surge suppressors protect field equipment on any AC line to ground from damage due to
electrical transients induced in the interconnecting power lines from lightning discharges and other high
voltage surges. The unit should include noise filtering, common mode and normal mode suppression and
nanosecond reaction time. Surge suppressors should be internally fused to remove the load if the unit is
overloaded or the internal protection fails.
Signal line suppressors protect low voltage signals and relay outputs from damage due to electrical
transients induced in the signal lines from lightning discharges or nearby electrical devices. Signal line
suppressors should be installed at each end of an analog loop. Relay outputs should be protected at the
receiver end. Signal line suppressors should consist of a three-element gas tube followed by metal oxide
varistors and suppressor diodes. The protective elements should be matched such that high-energy surge
voltages trigger the gas surge arrester, while low energy or surge voltages affect the MOV’s and
suppressor diodes.
Lightning protection devices should be located as close to the monitor as possible and wired in
accordance with the National Electric Code in approved watertight enclosures.
CAUTION: This or any other installation procedure cannot protect against a direct lightning strike. YSI
Incorporated cannot accept liability for damage due to lightning or secondary surges.

Figure 5-3 Setpoints and Ranges
When these values are entered, the system will operate as illustrated in Figure 5-3. As long as the water
quality parameters remain within the acceptable operating range, no control or alarm will be activated. If,
however, a parameter rises above or falls below the acceptable operating range, the YSI 5200 will activate
the appropriate control device. The control device remains in operation until the parameter returns to the
Set Point value.
As you enter a Set Point value, the YSI 5200 may prompt you if there are problems with the set up. If the
High or Low value breaches the optimal Set Point, you will see an Autofix question displayed that will
automatically adjust your High or Low value to a value ±0.1 or ±0.01 to the high or low side of your
optimal Set Point depending on the parameter of interest. For example, pH will be adjusted to the
hundredths place while DO will be adjusted to the tenths place.
If you had your optimal Set Point at 8.0 mg/L for DO and the Low range at 7.8 and the High range at 8.2
and you changed your optimal Set Point to 7.7 then attempted to escape without resetting the High and
Low ranges, you would see the following displayed:
Setpoint Errors.
Auto Fix? YES
If you choose YES, the Low range Set Point would automatically be adjusted to 7.6, but the High range
Set Point would remain 8.2 because it did not get breached.
IMPORTANT: For Controlling Applications, it is highly recommended that you use Alarms and verify
all Set Point, Alarm and Control Range settings.
This product has been designed and tested to provide trouble free service. However, as with all
microprocessor based products, there is potential for failure which could cause loss of control functions.
Proper QC procedures can reduce the potential for failure. See 11.3 Recommended Quality Assurance

Figure 5-6 DO Setpoints
The DO system uses a more advanced control system employing two control ranges instead of just one as
in the other parameters (See Figure 5-6). The dual range design allows you to change the way oxygen
levels are managed in the system if the DO level moves out of the first range and into the second. This
provides the ability, for example, to use an air injection system (controlled by range 1) to maintain DO
levels for the first range and a pure oxygen injection system (controlled by range 2) as a backup should
the DO level continue to fall.
If the YSI 5200 senses that the DO level is outside of the operating Range #1 it will turn on the Range #1
control system. If the DO level continues to move outside of operating Range #2 then Range #2 control
system will activate.
NOTE: To allow for DO probe stabilization, the 5200 waits for two minutes after being powered up
before activating DO alarms or control.

Interval
The 5200’s DO system operates in either continuous or interval mode. In continuous mode, the DO probe
is on all the time. In interval mode, the DO system is powered down for a selected interval (10, 20, 30, 40,
50 or 60 minutes), then powered back up for 75 seconds. The DO level is measured during the last 15
YSI Incorporated 47 5200 Recirculating System Monitor
seconds of the powered cycle. The entire cycle is then repeated. Interval mode extends the time between
probe servicing and calibration, but disables DO control and alarm functions.
Display Range
The 5200’s DO system operates in either an Auto or Manual Range. Use Manual to enable the 5200’s
control and alarm functions. If you select Auto, the control/alarm options are NOT available.
CAUTION: Changing the display range will cause the DO alarm and control set points to change. After
changing the display range, confirm all set point values.
Display Format
The Display Format refers to the option between displaying your DO values in % saturation or mg/L.
Membrane Type
The 5200’s DO system can use either polyethylene or Teflon membrane caps. Teflon membranes offer
traditional, reliable performance for most applications; while polyethylene provide a significantly faster
response time and less flow dependence.
NOTE: After changing the membrane type, the DO probe must be calibrated. See 6.2.2 Dissolved
Oxygen Calibration.

Calibration
Calibration is covered in Section 6 Calibration. pH can be calibrated at either one point or two points. See
Section 6.2.4 pH Calibration for details.
Set Point Menu
The YSI 5200 can control pH by dosing a buffer solution , injecting CO2 gas or both. pH control can
operate in two different ways. It can operate the same as most other 5200 control systems—when the
parameter value reaches the low or high range setpoint, control is activated until the value returns to the
optimal setpoint. Or, it can operate in a timed mode—when the value reaches the low or high range
setpoint, control is activated for a fixed length of time (Dose Time) regardless of whether or not the value
returns to the optimal set point. The 5200 then waits for a fixed length of time (Dose Wait) before
checking the value of the parameter and applying additional control. The default method of pH control is
the timed mode. To select the normal mode, set the Dose Time to 0.
When using timed mode, additional values must be entered on the Set Points Menu, including the dose
and dwell (Dose Wait) values. The dose time allows you to establish the length of time a dose is
administered and the dwell time allows for a period between doses to prevent over-applying a dose.
SetPoint
The pH Set Point defines the optimum pH level that you wish the YSI 5200 to maintain in the aquatic
environment. See Section 5.3.1 Entering Setpoint and Range Values for an overview of control functions.
Dose Up
Dose Up in minutes (time per dose of buffer solution) is the amount of time that the YSI 5200 will dose
buffer to bring the pH level back up into the target operating range to the optimal Set Point. The
acceptable values for buffer solution dosing are from 1 to 999 minutes. Set to 0 to select normal pH
control (see Section 5.3.4 pH System, Set Point Menu).
Dose Up Wait
Dose Up Wait (dwell time) is the length of time that the YSI 5200 will wait until dosing can occur again.
This feature prevents overdosing a system with buffer.
Dose Down
Dose Down (in seconds) controls how long the CO
range from 0 to 999 seconds. For example, if you enter 10 seconds, when the upper end of the target
operating range for pH is reached, the YSI 5200 will turn on the CO
to a lower value. A CO
Dose Down Wait time will force the YSI 5200 to wait to allow the gas to be
2
absorbed into the water. This will prevent the pH value from dropping too fast.
Set the Dose Down to 0 to select normal pH control (see Section 5.3.4, pH System, Set Point Menu) where
the YSI 5200 will turn the gas valve on when the pH level reaches the high end of the target operating
range and will keep the valve open until the pH drops below the optimal pH level. The 0 seconds option is
for systems with pressurized CO
injection.

Set Point Menu
The ORP level can be used as an indicator of ozone. Acceptable levels are between 0 and 450 mV. The
ORP Set Point can be maintained through the use of an ozonizer in a monitoring and control system. The
Set Point can be established anywhere from –999 to +999 mV. For controlling applications you will also
need to establish the Low and High control values and alarm values.
SetPoint
The ORP Set Point defines the optimum ORP level that you wish the YSI 5200 to maintain in the aquatic
environment. See Section 5.3.1 Entering Setpoint and Range Values for an overview of control functions.
Control Menu
After entering the ORP set point and ranges, use the Control Menu to select which relay each range or
alarm will activate.
Alarm System
The alarm system for each measurement parameter can be turned on or off. When on, an audible alarm
will sound on the YSI 5200 and an alarm page will be sent (if a modem is installed and paging is

Calibration
Calibration is covered in Section 6 Calibration. See Section 6.2.3 Conductivity Calibration for details.
Set Point Menu
Conductivity control, like pH, can operate in two different ways. It can operate the same as most other
5200 control systems—when the parameter value reaches the low or high range setpoint, control is
activated until the value returns to the optimal setpoint. Or, it can operate in a timed mode—when the
value reaches the low or high range setpoint, control is activated for a fixed length of time (Dose Time)
regardless of whether or not the value returns to the optimal set point. The 5200 then waits for a fixed
length of time (Dose Wait) before checking the value of the parameter and applying additional control.
The default method of Conductivity control is the timed mode. To select the normal mode, set the Dose
Time to 0.
When using timed mode, additional values must be entered on the Set Points Menu, including the dose
and dwell (Dose Wait) values. The dose time allows you to establish the length of time a dose is
administered and the dwell time allows for a period between doses to prevent over-applying a dose.
SetPoint
The Conductivity Set Point defines the optimum Conductivity level that you wish the YSI 5200 to
maintain in the aquatic environment. See Section 5.3.1 Entering Setpoint and Range Values for an
overview of control functions.
Dose Up
Dose Up in seconds (time per dose) is the amount of time that the YSI 5200 will dose to bring the
conductivity level back up into the target operating range to the optimal Set Point. The acceptable values
for dosing are from 1 to 999 seconds. A Dose Up Wait time forces the YSI 5200 to wait before applying
another dose. This will prevent the value from rising too fast. Set to 0 to select normal conductivity
control (see Section 5.3.6 Conductivity System, Set Point Menu).
WARNING: If the 5200 is instructed (by AquaManager) to transmit logged data during the Dose Up
cycle, dose time will be extended until data transmission is complete (up to 3½ minutes maximum with a
full data log).
Dose Up Wait
Dose Up Wait (in minutes), or dwell time, is the length of time that the YSI 5200 will wait until dosing
can occur again. This feature prevents overdosing a system with a dosing solution and protects against
“short cycling” of equipment.
Dose Down
Dose Down (in seconds) controls the length of time the 5200 will dose. The range is from 0 to 999
seconds. A Dose Down Wait time forces the YSI 5200 to wait before applying another dose. This will
prevent the value from dropping too fast.
WARNING: If the 5200 is instructed (by AquaManager) to transmit logged data during the Dose Down
cycle, dose time will be extended until data transmission is complete (up to 3½ minutes maximum with a
full data log).
YSI Incorporated 55 5200 Recirculating System Monitor
Set the Dose Down to 0 to select normal conductivity control (see Section 5.3.6 Conductivity System, Set
Point Menu) where the YSI 5200 will start dosing when the conductivity level reaches the high end of the
target operating range and will keep dosing until it reaches the optimal set point.
Dose Down Wait
Dose Down Wait (in minutes), or dwell time, is the length of time that the YSI 5200 will wait until dosing
can occur again. This feature prevents overdosing a system with a dosing solution and protects against
“short cycling” of equipment.
Control Menu
After entering the Conductivity set point and ranges, use the Control Menu to select which relay each

Display Range
The 5200’s Conductivity system operates in either Auto ranging or 1 of 4 manual ranges. Use a manual
range to enable the 5200’s control and alarm functions. If you select Auto, the control/alarm options
are NOT available.
CAUTION: Changing the display range will cause the Conductivity alarm and control set points to
change. After changing the display range, confirm all set point values.
Temperature Comp ensatio n
The conductivity of a sample varies with temperature, therefore, conductivity readings are normally
compensated to 25°C. An adjustment of approximately 1.91% per °C is common for the water
environment. The YSI 5200 has a default value of 1.91% and a range of 0–4%.
An asterisk next to the conductivity value on the 5200 display indicates that the reading is temperature
compensated. If the temperature compensation value is set to 0%, temperature compensation is disabled
and no asterisk is displayed.
5.3.7 Salinity System
The only Salinity Menu option is Enable/Disable.
5.4 Daily Checks
The YSI 5200 is designed to run 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. The only time it is not running is during
maintenance. Under normal operation the system requires virtually no interaction with the user. However,
below are some hints for keeping your YSI 5200 in good operating condition.
Daily Check List
By checking your YSI 5200 daily, you can identify a potential problem early.
1. Check the Status lights. Respond to any alarms. Refer to Section 2 Introduction, Status Lights for
details.
Should an alarm condition occur, pressing Enter key will reset the alarm - terminating further
audible and pager alarms for that event. However, as long as the parameter value stays within the
alarm range, an alarm message will be displayed in the status line. Once the parameter value
returns to acceptable Operating Range, the alarm will be turned off and the status message will be
removed.
2. Check your conductivity, temperature, pH, DO, and ORP values and compare them to the optimal
levels for your environment.
3. Check all of your peripheral devices to ensure proper operation (i.e. heater, chiller, ozonizer, pH
doser).
4. Conduct an alarm test, including paging or email if enabled.
5. Look for signs of stress on all aquatic inhabitants, if any.
Weekly/Monthly Checks
6. Check sensor calibration weekly, recalibrate if necessary.
7. Clean the probe module monthly, or as needed.
YSI Incorporated 57 5200 Recirculating System Monitor
8. Clean the sensors every 30–90 days, or as needed. A screen prompt on the YSI 5200 display will
remind you to do so. See 9.1.1 Service, Clean Probes.
5.5 Conducting a System Test
When you conduct a System Test, all built-in relays automatically go to an "off" condition. Once in the
System Test mode, you can select any relay and manually turn it on or off. The purpose of this test is to
make sure each relay is working correctly.

Section 6. Calibration
All of the sensors, except temperature, require periodic calibration to assure high performance. You will
find specific calibration procedures for all sensors that require calibration in the following sections. If a
sensor listed is not installed in your probe module, skip that section and proceed to the next sensor until
the calibration is complete.
CAUTION: Reagents that are used to calibrate and check this instrument may be hazardous to your
health. Take a moment to review Section 18 Health and Safety. Some calibration standard solutions may
require special handling.
6.1 Getting Ready to Calibrate
6.1.1 Containers Needed to Calibrate the Probe Module
The calibration/storage cup that comes with the YSI 5562 Probe Module serves as a calibration chamber
for all calibrations and minimizes the volume of calibration reagents required.
Instead of the calibration/storage cup, you may use laboratory glassware to perform calibrations. If you do
not use the calibration/storage cup that is designed for the probe module, you are cautioned to do the
following:
Ö Perform all calibrations with the Probe Sensor Guard installed. This protects the sensors from
possible physical damage.
Ö Use a ring stand and clamp to secure the probe module body to prevent the module from falling
over. Most laboratory glassware has convex bottoms.
Ö Ensure that all sensors are immersed in calibration solutions. Many of the calibrations factor in
readings from other sensors (e.g., temperature sensor). The top vent hole of the conductivity
sensor must also be immersed during some calibrations.
6.1.2 Calibration Tips
Ö If you use the Calibration/Storage Cup for dissolved oxygen (DO) calibration, make certain to
loosen the seal to allow pressure equilibration before calibration. The DO calibration is a watersaturated air calibration.
Ö The key to successful calibration is to ensure that the sensors (except DO) are completely
submersed when calibration values are entered. Use recommended volumes when performing
calibrations.
Ö For maximum accuracy, use a small amount of previously used calibration solution to pre-rinse
the probe module. You may wish to save old calibration standards for this purpose.
Ö Fill a bucket with ambient temperature water to rinse the probe module between calibration
solutions.
Ö Have several clean, absorbent paper towels or cotton cloths available to dry the probe module
between rinses and calibration solutions. Shake the excess rinse water off of the probe module,
especially when the probe sensor guard is installed. Dry off the outside of the probe module and
probe sensor guard. Making sure that the probe module is dry reduces carry-over contamination
of calibrator solutions and increases the accuracy of the calibration.
YSI Incorporated 60 5200 Recirculating System Monitor
Ö If you are using laboratory glassware for calibration, you do not need to remove the probe sensor
guard to rinse and dry the sensors between calibration solutions. The inaccuracy resulting from
simply rinsing the sensor compartment and drying the outside of the guard is minimal.
Ö If you are using laboratory glassware, remove the stainless steel weight from the bottom of the
YSI 5562 Probe Module sensor guard by turning the weight counterclockwise. When the weight
is removed, the calibration solutions have access to the sensors without displacing a lot of fluid.
This also reduces the amount of liquid that is carried between calibrations.
Ö Make certain that port plugs are installed in all ports where sensors are not installed. It is
extremely important to keep these electrical connectors dry.
6.1.3 Recommended Volumes
Follow these instructions to use the calibration/storage cup for calibration procedures.
Ö Ensure that an o-ring is installed in the o-ring groove of the calibration/storage cup bottom cap,
and that the bottom cap is securely tightened.
NOTE: Do not over-tighten as this could cause damage to the threaded portions.
Ö Remove the probe sensor guard, if it is installed.
Ö Remove the o-ring, if installed, from the probe module and inspect the installed o-ring on the
probe module for obvious defects and, if necessary, replace it with the extra o-ring supplied.
Ö Some calibrations can be accomplished with the probe module upright or upside down. A
separate clamp and stand, such as a ring stand, is required to support the probe module in the
inverted position.
Ö To calibrate, follow the procedures in the next section, 6.2 Calibration Procedures. The
approximate volumes of the reagents are specified below for both the upright and upside down
orientations.
Ö When using the Calibration/Storage Cup for dissolved oxygen % saturation calibration, make
certain that the vessel is vented to the atmosphere (by loosening the bottom cap or cup assembly)
and contains approximately 1/8” of water.

Alarm Light
or Buzzer
The General Alarm is a Summary alarm that activates a single device, such as a light or buzzer, whenever
any one of the individual parameter alarms is triggered. If the value of a parameter reaches the alarm low
or high point and the Alarm Hold Off time (See Section 9.2.3 Alarm Hold Off) has expired, an alarm
occurs. The status LED turns red showing which system(s) triggered the alarm (see 7.1 Alarm Logic Flow
Charts). The individual parameter alarm relay is activated (if a relay is assigned) and the General Alarm
is activated (if enabled). If the individual parameter alarm is enabled, the buzzer sounds and an alarm
page is sent (if the pager is enabled).
Reset the alarm by pressing the Enter key on the front of the 5200. Pressing the Enter key stops the
audible alarm and cancels any pending pages, but alarm status messages will NOT be cleared until the
5200 no longer senses the alarm condition.
Relay Disabled
Relay Disabled is the default setting for the General Alarm. It prevents the General Alarm from triggering
any relays (Internal or SubNet).
Relay Internal
Select Relay internal to trigger one of the four internal relays in this 5200.
Relay SubNet
Set the General Alarm to trigger an external subnet relay (connected to this 5200 via the RS485 network).
YSI Incorporated 77 5200 Recirculating System Monitor
Section 8. Network
Multiple 5200 Recirculating Monitors can be connected together via their RS485 network ports (see 8.1
RS485 Network). Each network (group of connected 5200s) consists of 1 Master unit and up to 31 Slave
units. The default network Mode setting is Master.
NOTE: Each Slave in the network must have a unique Sub Address.
8.1 RS485 Network
The 5200’s optically isolated RS485 interface is located on the upper right hand corner of the I/O plate.
Up to 32 YSI 5200 Monitors can connected per network (1 master, 31 slaves). Each network requires a
PC COM port, so conceivably a PC could support multiple 32-instrument networks. This provides
significant flexibility in regard to alarming, monitoring and control.
The RS485 network wiring can span distances up to 4000 feet. If additional length is required, use an
RS485 Line Extender/Booster. Not using this device may cause communication failures. Mount the
booster in an area where it is protected from moisture.
NOTE: The 5200’s RS485 port is optically isolated. No further isolation is required.
Two snap-on ferrite assemblies, YSI# 655361, are included with the 5200 Monitor. Wires being
connected to the RS485 port need to be routed through the ferrites as shown in Figure 3-9. Failure to do
so could cause catastrophic monitor failure.

1. T (-) Transmit to Network
2. T (+) Transmit to Network
3. R (-) Receive from Network
4. R (+) Receive from Network
8.1.1 Network Wiring
The network consists of 2 pair of twisted pair cable. Although, Category 3 and 4 cables can be used,
Category 5 Ethernet cable is recommended. Strip the wires about 2 times longer than necessary so that
they can be folded over and twisted to make a thicker connection. Below is an example with Ethernet
Category 5 cable. Note that this example color scheme is only applicable with category 5 wire:
Pair #1: Solid blue wire and white wire with blue stripe
Pair #2: Solid orange wire and white wire with orange stripe
The Master 5200 is wired as follows:
Wire Terminal Connection
Solid Orange Wire 1 T (-)
White w/Orange Stripe 2 T (+)
Solid Blue Wire 3 R (-)
White w/Blue Stripe 4 R (+)
NOTE: Install one 120Ω (ohm) resistor between T(+) and T(-) and one 120Ω (ohm) resistor between
R(+) and R(-) on the master 5200. Resistors are included with each 5200.
All 5200 slaves are wired as follows:

8.2 Auxiliary Inputs Wiring
The auxiliary inputs are configurable for a number of applications including monitoring level and/or
pressure switches. Both inputs have input protection, but the maximum input voltage should be no more
than 6 VDC. YSI recommends that twisted pair wire be used for these connections.
CAUTION: The auxiliary inputs are not isolated. Devices connected must be electrically isolated from
ground and the water.
CAUTION: Observe correct polarity on analog input. Do not apply negative voltage to analog input.
Two snap-on ferrite assemblies, YSI# 655361, are included with the 5200 Monitor. Wires being
connected to the Auxiliary ports need to be routed through the ferrites as shown in Figure 3-9. Failure to
do so could cause catastrophic monitor failure.
Auxiliary inputs can be configured as follows:
Input #1 – Digital (contact open/close w/current source)
Caution: Do not input external voltage.
Input #2 – User Defined (0 to 1.0 VDC, 0 to 5.0 VDC, or 4 to 20 mA selectable; max. 6.0 VDC) 10K
impedance
or
Digital (contact open/close w/current source)
Caution: Do not input external voltage.
NOTE: For proper digital input operation, use low impedance switches and wiring. The total resistance
should not exceed 200 ohms.
8.2.1 Example (Digital)—Installing a Float Switch
1. Install the float switch at the desired water level according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
YSI Incorporated 79 5200 Recirculating System Monitor
2. Connect the switch to Auxiliary Input #1 or Auxiliary Input #2 using the 3-pole YSI 065942UL
Pluggable Socket Connector. See Figure 8-1.
Connect one wire to the ground (GND) terminal and the other to the In 1 or In 2 terminal.
NOTE: When connecting a switch to Auxiliary Input #2, set the input to Digital mode. See
Section 9.4.2 Input #2.
3. Set the 5200 to either Alarm on Open or to Alarm on Closed, depending on the type of switch
used. See Section 9.4.1 Input #1, Control.

Pager
The Pager feature allows you to receive 5200 alarm messages on your numeric pager. If a parameter
enters the alarm range, its status indicator (on the front of the 5200) will change to solid red (see 7.1
YSI Incorporated 86 5200 Recirculating System Monitor
Alarm Logic Flow Charts). After the Alarm Hold Off period expires, the audible alarm (a standard
feature) will activate. If the 5200 is configured and enabled for alarm pager support, an alarm page will be
sent indicating which parameter is in alarm state (pH, ORP, Temperature, etc.) and the type of alarm it is
(high alarm, low alarm, etc.). This information is transmitted via modem (the 5200’s modem or a
computer running AquaManager software and equipped with a compatible modem) to your pager. The
page consists of the last three digits of the serial number of the YSI 5200, followed by a seven digit alarm
code as indicated below.

DO status and the last two digits are Aux Input #1 and Aux Input #2. Table 9-1 shows the possible alarm
conditions and the codes that are displayed. Note that a “0” in any digit location indicates that no alarm
condition occurred for that parameter.

Table 9-1 Pager Alarm Codes
NOTE: The 5200 also sends code 8888888 if back-up power is lost, but primary power is still present.
As an example, an alarm for a YSI 5200 unit with serial number 52-003598 was activated, indicating a
high pH and low ORP condition, the page would appear as follows:
“598 2100000”
If your system has backup power, you will receive pages through the power fail detect feature. If power
fails on a unit that has no backup battery, when the power comes back on, the unit will dial the phone
pager and send a power out message. (All zeros mean the unit has powered back up after a power outage.)
Pager Phone Number
The first step in programming the YSI 5200 for pager support is the entry of the phone number you want
the 5200 to dial in the event of an alarm condition.
Dial Modifiers
Depending on your situation, you may need to use the dial modifiers listed below. These are special
parameters that tell the modem what, when and how to dial the telephone number.
YSI Incorporated 87 5200 Recirculating System Monitor
Dial Modifier Description
, Delay for approx. 1 second
W Wait for dial tone
The ‘W’ dial modifier is particularly important to make sure that there is a “dial tone” before initiating a
page.
Pager Phone Number Example
The following is an example of one scenario where the pager number requires a bit more than the phone
number:
To reach the pager, it is necessary to:
• Dial 9 for an outside line.
• Wait for the dial tone.
• Dial the paging company.
• Wait a few seconds for the paging company to answer the phone and accept a pager input.
The pager number to be used in this example would be:
9W16195551212
NOTE: To perform the last step (Wait a few seconds…), see the Pager Delay Section below.
Pager Delay
Every pager service company processes pager calls differently. It is important that the YSI 5200 does not
start sending information before the pager company is ready to receive it.
The pager delay time is the number of seconds that the YSI 5200 waits after it has dialed the phone
number before it sends the serial number and alarm values. For example, if your pager service has a
message that precedes the transmission of a page, you will need to time the message period and program
this time period into the Pager Delay. If the interval is set for too short a period, the serial number and
alarm code will not be properly processed by the paging system. If the time period is set for too long a
period, then the pager service company may terminate the call before the alarm code information is sent.
A good starting value is 5-10 seconds.
Pager Retries (Redial)
The pager retry timer is activated if the YSI 5200 is unable to send a page due to a busy phone line. The
controller will wait the number of minutes specified by this command and attempt to send another page.
The default value is 3 minutes. Valid times are from 0 to 120 minutes.
Pager Retransmit (Until Reset)
When an alarm condition is detected (and after the hold-off period has expired), the 5200 will send a
pager alarm. The YSI 5200 is programmed to continue paging until the alarm is reset (someone physically
pushes a key on the front of the YSI 5200).
The pager retransmit value sets the length of time that the controller waits before it pages again—
assuming that the alarm has not been reset.
Pager Tone/Pulse
The Tone/Pulse setting controls whether the modem uses tone or pulse dialing. If you have a rotary
phone, select pulse as shown below; otherwise, use the default setting, tone.
YSI Incorporated 88 5200 Recirculating System Monitor
Page Now
Page Now sends a test page consisting of the last 3 digits of the serial number of the 5200 followed by
999. As an example, for a YSI 5200 with serial number 52-003598, the page would appear as follows:
“598 999”
Serial Setting
The only Serial Setting selection is Baud Rate.
Baud Rate
The baud rate is the speed that the YSI 5200 transmits data via the serial IP port. It can be set at 300,
1200, 2400, 9600 or 19,200 baud. The default value (19,200 baud) will work with 90% of the modems in
use today. If you are using AquaManager software, the baud rate must be set to 19,200.
Network
Multiple 5200s can be connected together via their RS485 network ports (see 8.1 RS485 Network).
9.1.3 Password
Use the password feature to protect your 5200 from unauthorized use. Anyone attempting to use the 5200
will not be able to enter the menus unless they enter the correct password.
NOTE: If you choose not to use the password protection, do not enter any password. Move to the next
setup procedure, Section 9.1.4 Display.
Once you have enabled and entered a password, you will be prompted to enter it when attempting to
access any menus from the Run screen. In order to disable it in the future, you will have to know the
Password, enter the System Menu, select Password and select No for Enabled?
Do not forget your password!
9.1.4 Display
The only Display selection is Display Speed.
Display Speed
Display Speed controls how quickly the Run screen scrolls through the parameter readings. The higher
the value entered, the longer the display will remain on each parameter. The allowable range is 1–20,
corresponding to an actual display time of 1–6 seconds per parameter.

9.2.1 Feed Timer
The Feed Timer System allows control and monitoring of feedings made by the 5200. Optional Parameter
control reduces the amount of food dispensed if the DO, temp or pH values are “out of range.” Feed
Timer parameter controls work independently of the 5200 parameter setpoint menus and operation. The
optional FCR (feed conversion ratio) feature automatically increases the daily amount of food dispensed.
For proper operation, the Feed Timer System requires the user to enter the total amount of food to be
dispensed, number of feedings that total amount of food will be dispensed in, and a defined time period
within which the feedings will occur.
It is also important that the 5200 be configured with valid data. The feeder system will not operate
properly, if, for example, the daily weight of food is greater than can be dispensed in the defined time
period.
Feed Timer menu selections are shown below.

Feeder
Prior to operating the feed timer system, the following fields must be configured:
Ö Feed Days—days of the week feedings will occur
Ö Start and End Dates—dates within which the feed timer system will operate
Ö Feed Mode—feed cycle type (timed or continuous)
Ö Daily Feed Amount—daily weight of food to be dispensed
Ö Daily Feedings—number of feedings to occur per feeding cycle
Feed Days
Select the days of the week that feeding(s) should occur. Enter “Y” (yes, feed cycle(s) to occur on
selected day) or “N” (no, feed cycle(s) not to occur on selected day).
Continuous feed mode
In continuous feed mode, feeding(s) will end after the last completed feeding that ends prior to 11:59 pm
(23:59) of the day before an “N” day. Feeding(s) will resume at 12:00 am (00:00) for the next feeding day
that is tagged “Y”.
Timed feed mode
If a timed feed cycle includes feed times that cross midnight, the feed cycle will complete regardless of
operating (finishing the feed cycle) on an “N” day.
Example—with the following days selected
S M T W T F S
N N Y Y Y Y Y
and start time set to 10:00 pm (23:00) and end time set to 01:00, a Saturday feeding would complete any
feedings on Sunday (even though it’s tagged N, because the timed feed cycle began on a “Y” tagged day).
The feed cycle will not start again until 10:00 pm on Tuesday. No feeding would occur Monday, because
Monday is an “N” day even though the feed cycle crosses midnight and Tuesday is “Y” day.
Start Date
Enter the date the feed cycle(s) will begin.
End Date
Enter the date the feed cycle(s) will end. Note that no feed cycles will occur if this date is not set.
Continuous feed mode
In continuous feed mode, feeding(s) will cease after the last completed feeding that occurs with an end
time prior to 11:59 pm (23:59) of end date.
Timed feed mode
If a timed feed cycle crosses midnight, the feed cycle will complete regardless of operating during the day
beyond end date.
Feed Mode
Select Timed feed mode if feedings are to occur only during certain times of the day. If Timed feed mode
is selected, the user will need to enter Start and End Times.
YSI Incorporated 96 5200 Recirculating System Monitor
Select Cont. (Continuous) if feedings are to occur over the entire day. Once a Continuous feed
configuration has been configured, the 5200 determines any remaining feeds for the 24 hour period,
ending at 23:59. In continuous feed mode the feed cycle always begins at 00:00 (midnight). Start and End
time fields are not available options for Continuous feed mode.
Start Time
Select the time the 1st feeding should occur (in 24 hour format). If configuration of timed feed mode is
done during a feed cycle, the 5200 calculates the number of feeds and their intervals for the remainder of
the time period.
st
In timed mode, the 1
feeding will always occur at the start time of the feed cycle.
End Time
Select the time the last feeding should be completed by. Because of the way the 5200 determines feed
cycle durations and intervals, the end time will occur during the last feed cycle interval, not at the end
time of the last feed cycle feed duration.
Daily Feed Amount
This is the total weight of food that will be dispensed over the feeding time period. The value is user
selectable from 000.1–999.9. The Feed Timer system divides the total daily feed amount by the number
of daily feedings and uses the calibration/test data to determine feed cycle duration times.
Daily Feedings
Enter the number of feedings per feed cycle time period; 1–99.
Note: Any change to feed timer configuration resets the feed timer system.
FCR
The optional FCR (feed conversion ratio) feature automatically increases the amount of food dispensed
over a feed cycle. The increase in the amount of food is based on the user selected increase in biomass
over a 24 hour period. Biomass and daily (feed) weight amounts are adjusted by the 5200 prior to the 1
feed “on” time of a scheduled feed cycle occurring after midnight.
NOTE: If changes are made to the FCR settings during a feed cycle, they do not take effect until the
following feed cycle.
st
Biomass
Enter the total weight of all fish being fed at the time FCR is enabled; 1–32767.
Feed % (of) Biomass
Enter the percentage of the total fish weight (biomass) that will be used to determine the daily feed
weight; 0.1–9.9%.
Daily (Feed) Weight
Input the initial daily feed weight by multiplying the biomass amount by the Feed % Biomass percentage
(the 5200 will not calculate the initial amount). For example—if the biomass is 1000 and the feed %
biomass is 3%, the initial daily feed weight amount is 30. On each following day, the 5200 will use the
biomass value along with the feed % biomass to automatically calculate this value.
FCR Factor
Enter the ratio of the amount of food required vs. the corresponding increase in fish weight (biomass).
This value is used to automatically increase the biomass amount—as shown in the example below.

Parameter
Changes in water parameter conditions will affect the amount of food fish eat and thus will affect fish
growth. With the parameter feature enabled, the feed timer system will verify that pH, temperature and
DO values are within user selected ranges. This verification is done immediately prior to starting each
feed cycle duration. If the values are outside these ranges, food weight amount is reduced by a user
selected percentage.
DO/Temp/pH Low
Enter the lower limit of the parameter range where no feed compensation will take place.
DO/Temp/pH High
Enter the high limit of the parameter range where no feed compensation will take place.
DO/Temp/pH Change
Enter the percent reduction in feed weight that will occur for each 1/10 unit of measure the parameter is
out of range. Results from all out of range parameters are added.
Setup Menu
Relay
Assign a relay address to the feeder.
NOTE: Feed calibration cannot be performed if the Relay is disabled.
Units
Select lb (pound), g (gram), kg (kilogram), or oz (ounce) as the unit of weight the Feed Timer System
uses for the calibration/test sample amount and to the total daily feed amount.
NOTE: If the units are changed, the feeder must be recalibrated.
Test
Calibrating (Testing) the feeder is essential for proper operation of the Feed Timer System. Calibration
will determine the rate at which food is dispensed from a feeder. This information is used to determine
feed cycle duration(s).
NOTE: A relay must be assigned in order to enter the Calibrate Feeder menu.
Calibrate Feeder
Enter the amount of time the feeder relay will be energized for testing; 001–500 seconds. The relay will
energize after the last digit is entered. After the timer counts down to zero, the feed relay deenergizes and
the Measured Weight screen is displayed.
