Display lighting
In the event of an error with the [ERROR] status, the display's backlight changes
from ‘white’ to ‘red’ . This makes it easier for the operator to detect and react to an
error.

Operating Concept
1.3 Acknowledging Error or Warning Messages

If the controller detects an error [Error], the controller is stopped, the backlight switches to
red and the alarm relay is deactivated. Acknowledge the message by pressing . The
controller displays all the errors and warnings. You can select and acknowledge the
pending alarm messages if necessary. When you acknowledge an error, the alarm relay
is activated and the backlight switches on again with white light. The error that has
occurred or the warning message continue to appear in the lower part of the display, e.g.
[Error 01], until the cause has been eliminated.
With a warning, for example the controller signals that a sensor has not yet been cali‐
brated, it is possible to continue working with the controller with or without acknowledging
the message.
With an error message [Error], [for example] the controller signals that no sensor has
been connected, it is not possible to continue working with the controller once the mes‐
sage has been acknowledged. You now have to eliminate the error, see Ä Chapter 17
‘[Diagnostics]’ on page 146.

1.4 Key Lock

The controller has a key lock. If the key
lock is activated, the keys cannot be
pressed. The key lock can be activated or
deactivated by simultaneously pressing

6.2.2 Control Panel Installation
CAUTION!
Dimensional variations
Possible consequence: material damage
– Photocopying the punched template can result in dimensional deviations
– Use the dimensions shown in Fig. 11 and mark on the control panel
CAUTION!
Material thickness of control panel
Possible consequence: material damage
– The material thickness of the control panel must be at least 2 mm to ensure
secure fixing
The perimeter of the housing has a 4 mm wide edge that acts as a stop for the control
panel, with an additional perimeter groove to accommodate a caulking strip. When
mounted in the control panel, the entire front face projects about 35 mm from the control
panel. Install the controller from the outside into a cut-out provided in the control panel for
this purpose. Fix the device to the control panel from the inside using the fittings.

6.3.2 Terminal diagram
The controller is supplied with terminal diagrams showing 1:1 assignment.
Only one sensor per unit

Only one sensor can be connected to each of the main unit and extension unit. For
example, you can connect a chlorine sensor to the main unit (channel 1) and a pH
sensor or an interference variable to the extension unit (channel 2).
Connecting the chlorine sensor with controllers with two channels

Note the following when connecting the sensors when measuring chlorine with pH
compensation. Connect the chlorine sensor on the extension unit (channel 2) to the
terminals XE8.3 (-) and XE8.4 (+).
Connect the pH sensor on the extension unit (channel 1) as follows:
– When using a coaxial cable on terminals XE1 (shield), XE 2 (internal conductor)
– When using a transmitter pHV1 (mA) on terminals XE4.3 (-) and XE4.4 (+)
The pH value also needs to be temperature-compensated to ensure correct pH com‐
pensation. Therefore, connect the temperature sensor to terminals XE7.3 and XE7.4.
Depending on the identity code of the controller (channel 2 = Package 4), now con‐
nect the interference variable on the mA input to the extension unit XE8.2(-) and
XE8.3 (+), if not already occupied by the transmitter pHV1 (mA).
The interference variable influences the pH and chlorine control.
pH measurement using a transmitter

If a pH measurement is connected to the controller via a transmitter
DULCOMETER® DMTa or another manufacturer's pH measuring device, then
assign mA-pH in the DMTa and/or in the other manufacturer's pH measuring device
as follows:[ 4 mA = pH 15.45] and [20 mA = pH -1.45]
33
Connection of the transmitter DTMa

A DMTa is connected to the controller as a 2-wire transmitter:
– Terminal DACa, channel 1: XE4.3 minus pole and XE4.4 plus pole
– Terminal DACa, channel 2: XE8.3 minus pole and XE8.4 plus pole
– refer to: Ä ‘Main unit (channel 1) terminal diagram with assignment options ’
on page 36 and Ä ‘Extension unit (channel 2) terminal diagram with assignment
options ’ on page 38
An external manufacturer's transmitter

Connect an external manufacturer's transmitter as follows to the controller if the
transmitter delivers an active signal:
– Terminal DACa, channel 1: XE4.3 plus pole and XE4.4 minus pole
– Terminal DACa, channel 2: XE8.3 plus pole and XE8.4 minus pole

Calibration
9.1 Calibrating the pH sensor

To ensure a high level of measuring accuracy, adjust the pH sensor at set time intervals.
This calibration interval seriously depends on the application of the pH sensor and on the
required measurement accuracy and reproducibility. The calibration interval can vary
between daily and every few months.
Valid calibration values

9.1.3 pH sensor calibration (CAL) with an external sample (1-point)
Measuring and control behaviour of the controller during calibration

During calibration the actuating outputs are deactivated. Exception: a basic load or a
manual control variable has been set. This remains active. The measured value
output [standard signal output mA] is frozen, corresponding to its settings in the mA
output menu.
When calibration/testing has been completed successfully, all of the error checks
relating to the measured value are restarted. The controller saves all the determined
data for zero point and slope upon a successful calibration.
NOTICE!
Poor sensor operation and fluctuating pH values during the process
The calibration method with an external sample has a number of disadvantages
compared with the buffer solution calibration method. If the pH value fluctuates sig‐
nificantly during the process, then the pH value may change by a variable amount in
the period between sampling, sample measurement and entry of the pH value into
the controller. This could mean that the pH value entered into the controller does not
correspond to the actual pH value in the process. Consequently the result is a linear
displacement of the pH value across the entire measuring range.
If the pH sensor no longer reacts to changes in the pH value and only gives out a
constant uniform mV signal, this cannot be detected using the calibration method
with an external sample. With the calibration method with two buffers (e.g. pH 7 and
pH 4), this becomes apparent if the pH sensor does not detect any changes in the
pH value.
The calibration method with an external sample should only be used with installa‐
tions where there is poor access to the pH sensor and the identical or very uniform
pH values are used in the process. In addition the pH sensor should be regularly
serviced or replaced.

alkaline waste water is produced alternately. Before the water can be fed into the sew‐
erage system, the pH value should, for example, be set to a value between pH 6.8 and
7.5. A 2-way controller with two metering pumps for metering acid and alkali is used for
this purpose. The pH value can be both decreased or increased to come within the nec‐
essary setpoint range.

Application: This affects, for example, a disinfection process, in which chlorine is added
to water. The incoming water has a chlorine concentration of 0 ppm and is to be adjusted
to 0.5 ppm by the addition of sodium-calcium hypochlorite. The addition of sodium-cal‐

10.4 Control parameter [xp]

The xp value is the controller amplification factor. The xp value relates to the measuring
range end of a controller and is entered as an absolute value. For pH for example
xp=1.5.
For measured variables such as chlorine, the sensor measuring range is selected. The
sensor measuring range corresponds to the measuring range end.
For pH, the measuring range end is 15.45. Here the default xp value is 1.54 (corresponds
to ± 1.54 pH). The xp value states that for a deviation of ± 1.54 from the setpoint, the
control variable equals ± 100%. The smaller the xp value, the more ‘forcefully’ the con‐
trol reacts, however the control also moves slightly into the over-control range.

Limit values 4.1
Limit value channel 1
A1011
Fig. 84: Setting the [Limit values]

11.1 Function of the limit values
The limit values are not related to the control setpoint.
The limit values are continuously compared with the measured value.
120
The limit values are values that can be set within the measuring range of a measured
variable. For each measuring channel a Limit [1] can be set for exceeding, i.e. the meas‐
ured value is greater than the limit value and a Limit [2] can be set for undershooting, i.e.
the measured value is less than the limit value. As the controller only has two limit value
relays, there is an option of selecting a limit value ‘range’ . An upper and lower limit are
set as a limit value ‘range’ . If the measured value is above or below the ‘range’ , then a
limit value transgression exists.
If the limit is exceeded for longer than [the Control time lim. val. (∆t on)], then an error
message will be triggered that has to be acknowledged and the alarm relay is deacti‐
vated. If the [controller] is also set to [OFF] then the control process is stopped.
[Lower lim] means that the limit criterion has been transgressed by undershooting of the
lower limit
[High limit] means that the limit criterion has been transgressed by exceeding of the
upper limit.
The controller has the option of defining [Hysteresis limit values].
[Hysteresis] works towards rectifying the limit transgression, i.e. if the [limit 1 upper] of,
for example, pH 7.5 has been exceeded by a set hysteresis limit of, for example, pH
0.20, then the criterion for limit transgression is redundant when the value drops below
the lower limit of pH 7.3. The hysteresis behaviour for undershooting a [Low limit] func‐
tions in a similar way (here the hysteresis value is added to the limit). In this way it is pos‐
sible to forego an external relay in self-retaining mode.
If the limit is exceeded for longer than the [Delay period limits∆t on], then an acknowl‐
edgeable fault message will be triggered and the alarm relay is deactivated. If the
[controller] is also set to [OFF] then the control process is stopped.

If the relays are defined as limit value relays, then when a limit value transgression
occurs they also will switch in addition to the alarm relay.
Different switch on-delays (∆t On) and Switch off delays (∆t Off) can be set for the limit
value relays for [Limit 1] and [Limit 2]. These prevent the limit value relay from switching
back and forward if the limit values is only exceeded for a short time (damping function).
If there are no limit value relays, the limit values can nevertheless be entered. The con‐
troller displays the reactions described when a limit value transgression occurs
Limit value relay used as an actuator
If the relays are defined as actuators, then they react like actuating outputs. Example: in
the event of Pause being activated or in the event of an alarm, an activated limit value
relay will be deactivated.

Continuous display ➨ ➨ or [mA outputs] ➨ [mA outputs]

The 1-channel version of the controller has two mA outputs and the 2-channel ver‐
sion has three mA outputs. These descriptions of [Channel 1] correspondingly apply
to the setting of [Channel 2] and [Channel 3]. The procedure for setting the respec‐
tive mA output channels is identical, however the parameters to be set may differ.
Your attention is drawn to the differences, which are also described.
CAUTION!
Destruction of the monitors
Only passive monitors should be connected to the mA outputs. For example, if the
mA outputs are connected to a PLC Programmable Logic Controller, then a 4-wire
connection type has to be selected on the PLC. The 2-wire connection type can
result in incorrect operation and, possibly, the destruction of the monitors.
In its basic version, the controller has two active mA outputs, meaning that the mA out‐
puts actively supply an output current, without an external supply voltage being provided.
The mA outputs are galvanically isolated.
Response with [Pause Hold]: [Pause Hold] determines the response of the mA outputs if
[Pause Hold] is active.
