The "source" option is set to "DB01 pH.pH" in the figure above, indicating that
32
www.fertron.com.br
the "AO 01" channel is used to transmit the pH measured value according to the
application range of 0 to 14.
When performing transmission, if the system detects a thermistor failure, a
specific value of the output current can be used to make an indicating to the
monitoring system which the current loop is connected to. When "Sensor Fault
Indication" option is selected, you can choose the desired setting by "Left/Right"
or "Confirm" key, as described below:

Options for sensor fault indication Current output when thermistor failure detected

Preset Value The manually preset value

4mA 4.00mA

20mA 20.00mA

Hold Keep the last valid output value

After completing the AO setting and returning to the main interface, the new
configuration takes effect. You can check the real-time status of AO channel at
the bottom right of the main interface. Once the current output is enabled, a
warning sign will indicate an open-circuit failure of the current loop:

Display Indication

Open-circuit failure of the current loop detected.

Relay for Alarm Output

If alarm output function is needed, please refer to the corresponding content
in the above table to set the "Function" option of the relay output channel:

The rest five options (scrolling to the bottom) are introduced as follows:
"Source": The signal source of the alarm (high alarm for "R01" and low alarm
for "R02"). When the cursor is located at "Source" option, you can select from
DB01 to DB03 (in pH application) by "Left/Right" or "Confirm" key. In the figure
above, the "DB01 pH.pH" is selected, indicating that the high alarm signal source
of "R01" is designated as the pH measured value from the pH probe.

35
www.fertron.com.br
 "Alarm Value": The threshold value to trigger the alarm (high alarm for "R01"
and low alarm for "R02"). Select it and press "ConÞrm" to further set the desired
threshold value (position the data input cursor by "Left/Right" key, then use
"Up/Down" key to select options between "-" (minus sign) and number "0" to "9"
in turn). When setting is done, press "Confirm" to save.
"Hysteresis": The alarm hysteresis. Select it and press "Confirm" to further set
the hysteresis value (position the data input cursor by "Left/Right" key, then use
"Up/Down" key to select options between number "0" to "9" in turn). When setting
is done, press "Confirm" to save. A hysteresis value requires the measured value
to return within the threshold by a specified value before the relay is deactivated.
"Delay": Delay time for triggering an alarm in seconds. Select it and press
"Confirm" to further set the desired length of time (position the data input cursor
by "Left/Right" key, then use "Up/Down" key to select options between number
"0" to "9" in turn). When setting is done, press "Confirm" to save. A time delay
requires the threshold to be exceeded continuously for the specified length of
time before activating the relay. The relay will not be activated if the alarm
condition disappears before the delay period is over. The default value for "Delay"
option is "5s".
"Min. Changeover Interval": The minimum time interval between the two
different states of the relay output. That is, from the time when the relay switched
the output state, the state will be maintained for at least the specified length of
time before the new output state switching instruction is actually executed. This
function helps to avoid frequent actions of contacts on critical conditions in
specific scenarios. Select "Min. Changeover Interval" option and press "Confirm"
to further set the desired duration in seconds (position the data input cursor by
"Left/Right" key, then use "Up/Down" key to select options between number "0"
to "9" in turn). When setting is done, press "Confirm" to save. The default is "0s".
After completing relay output setting and returning to the main interface,
36

the new configuration takes effect. You can check the real-time state of relay
output channel at the bottom left of the main interface. The left and middle
square shape respectively indicates the state of relay 1 (high alarm) and relay 2
(low alarm):

 Relay for Auto-Clean Control
If auto-clean control is needed, please refer to the corresponding content in
the table on page 50 to choose channel R03 and set the "Function" option to
"Auto-clean":

The rest three options are introduced as follows:

"Cycle": The interval between two auto-cleaning process for the probe. Select
it and press "Confirm" to enter the interval setting interface. The time format is
"DD-HH:MM" (day-hour:minute). Press "Confirm" to save the setting.
"Time": Duration of each auto-clean process in seconds. Select it and press
"Confirm" to enter the duration setting interface. Press "Confirm" to save the
setting.
(Note: During auto-cleaning process, the word "hold" will be displayed in the main interface

above the probe reading, the probe reading and the analog output will remain as the last value

before the cleaning starts.)

"Resume Delay": The delay (in seconds) from the end of cleaning to returning
to normal measurement. Select it and press "Confirm" to enter the duration
setting interface. Press "Confirm" to save the setting.
(Note: During the delay, the word "hold" will be displayed in the main interface above the

probe reading, the probe reading and the analog output will remain as the last value before
39

the cleaning starts. when delay is completed, the word "hold" in the main interface will

disappear, the probe reading and the analog output will resume.)

After completing relay output setting and returning to the main interface, the
new configuration takes effect and the first cleaning is performed directly. You
can check the real-time state of relay 3 at the bottom left of the main interface.
The third square shape from left indicates the state of relay 3:
