listed after all base system control functions. Example: XSCPF3E-N4.
Notice: Your unit may not have all features and functions described in this manual. This list represents our
most popular options, additional option codes are available.
Description of Unit
MegaTronXS controllers control a single recirculating water system including closed loop applications and
may have various features depending on the model number.
Standard Timer
The standard timer is designed to automate a mixer action activating a relay output. This timer can be
programmed to be one of the following types.
*1. Pulse Time - Accepts pulses from a make-up water meter (supplied separately). It can accumulate
1-9999 gallons before activating the timer to run.
*2. Feed with Bleed - Activates the relay output simultaneously with the bleed and limits the amount
of time the relay output will be on during the bleed cycle.
*3. Feed after Bleed
for the set percentage of that bleed cycle.
4. Recycle
cycle time.
5. 28 Day - The timer is based on a 28 day cycle with four independent programmable feed cycles
with prebleed and bleed lockout settings.
* Note: These functions are for application other than glycol feeders.

III. Installation
Electrical Wiring
The MegaTron XS series digital glycol feeder controller has an internal regulated power supply that will
operate in the range of approximately 90 to 250 VAC at 47 to 63 Hz on the incoming wiring. Output relay(s)
are protected with a replaceable fuse. Each relay’s output voltage will equal incoming line voltage. The
Standard prewired units are supplied with a 8 foot, 16 AWG, 3 wire grounded, 120 VAC USA power cord for
incoming power.
NOTE:Liquidtightttingsandlabeledsignalleadcablesareprovidedforallsignal(lowvoltage)
connections,lowdrumlevelandpressuretransducer.
WARNINGS:
1. The controller should be connected to its own isolated circuit breaker, and for best
results, the ground should be a true earth ground, not shared. Wiring must be done
according to all applicable local codes.
2. Power(linevoltage)mustbedisconnectedwhilemakinganyconnections.Ifpoweris
suppliedtotheunit,linevoltagewillbepresentontherelaycards.
3. Lowvoltagesignalwires(transducer,level,alarm,etc.)shouldneverberuninconduit
withhighvoltagewires.
Mounting Instructions
Select a mounting location that provides the operator easy access to the unit and a clear view of the controller.
The location should be convenient to grounded electrical connections and system plumbing connections.
Mount the glycol feeder stand to a level concrete pad using the ½” mounting holes in the base of the stand.
Concrete pad construction and anchoring bolts must comply with local building codes. The required sample
line plumbing should be connected to the return header of the Hydronic system
WARNING:
Avoid locations that expose the controller to direct sunlight, vapors, vibration,
liquid spills or extreme temperatures; less than 0°F (-17.8°C) or greater than 120°F (50°C).
EMI(electromagnetic interference) from radio transmissions and electric motors can also

Glycol Feeder Start-Up Procedure
Complete all installation steps before beginning this procedure. Ensure that all controlled devices (pumps,
solenoid valves, etc.) are operational and connected to the controller.
WARNINGS:
Before applying power to the controller, remove the fuse(s) from the fuse holder(s) located on the
high amp relay extension. There will be two (2) fuses on duel pump system. Reasoning behind
this is, factory settings may not agree with your system and this gives time for you to set your
parameters before applying power to the pump or pumps.
construction debris.
2. Check plumbing as it may have become loose from vibrations during shipping.
3. Fill Tank
4. Open the valve closest to the drain port of the plumbing assembly by turning the handle clockwise.
Water will pass through the sample stream assembly.
5. Ensure that the system pressure does not exceed 100 psi.
gauge agrees with system pressure. This value may vary do to connection to Hydronic systems
placement.
8. Once you are familiar with the controller from either reading the instruction manual or trial and error,
proceed with setting perimeters that are correct for your hydronic system.
extension.
10. Power ON the control to verify proper operation.
PressureReliefCongurationProcedure
1. Pressure relief values are set at 75 psi by default from the factory.
2. To increase the psi, spin the valve clockwise.
3. To decrease the psi, spin the valve counter clockwise.
4. Close drain port valve slowly to raise system pressure to the relief level.
5. Open drain port valve to relieve system pressure and conclude test.
Alarm Buzzer Disable and Enable Procedure
1. Press the 0 key at the home screen to enter into the relay status screen.
2. Press the 2 key twice after entering into the relay status screen to disable the alarm buzzer.
3. Press the 2 key once more to set the relay back to the normally pressure automated state.
4. Press the 2 key once more to force the alarm buzzer relay ON.

3. Calibration
Calibration is for adjusting the displayed value of a probes reading to match your tester or known solution.
All MegaTronXS controllers are factory calibrated. All units are shipped with the date preset, and the clock
the instructions listed below.
3.3 4-20mAOutputCalibration
4-20mA outputs can be calibrated to insure that the
output generated by the controller and received by the
external device match. With a volt meter connected
across the out and return wires (see page 24) of the
4-20mA output channel to be calibrated go into the
output’s Low or High calibration.
The number displayed in the Calibration dialog box
can range from 0-4095 with 800 equal to 0 mA output
and 4030 equal to 20 mA. This number range of
0-4095 is the raw digital to analog (D/A) values and is
strictly used for a reference. The D / A numbers you
get will vary based on your installation conditions.
While in the High or Low calibration pop-up screen use
the up and down arrows to change the output value
being read with the volt meter. Adjust the High value
for the 20 mA reading and the Low value for the 4 mA
value.
3.4 4-20mAInputCalibration
4-20mA inputs can be calibrated to insure that the input seen by the controller from the external device match.
It also allows for setting the 4-20mA input into a number range that relates to the value being read.
Select the Input to be calibrated
The 20mA and 4mA values are where the controller’s
raw analog to digital value is adjusted to match a 20mA
(full scale) and 4mA (bottom of scale) signal from the
external device inputting the 4-20mA input. The external
device must be connected to the controller and showing
either full scale or bottom of scale when calibrating
each. The number shown along with either the 20mA
or 4mA while calibrating is the raw A/D value and is only

a reference. A 20mA input should be around 5500 and 4mA around 1100. If the A/D numbers are not in this
range check input device.
The MAX and LOW calibration inputs are for telling the controller what to display for a 20mA input and a 4mA
input. For example if the input is a drum level sensor monitoring a 55 gallon drum the value for MAX should
be 55 and LOW should be 0. The controller then displays a number automatically ranging between 55 and
0 based on the input value. The units of measure (gallons for example) is set in the Customize menu from
the Home page.
OFFSET - Changes the current displayed value of the 4-20mA input reading to allow for a manual 1pt
calibration of the displayed value.
FACTORY DEFAULT - If the 20mA or 4mA calibration has been incorrectly set (not at 4 or 20) this will reset
the settings back to a factory value for 4 and 20.
4. Timer
A unit may have up to (1) timer standard for each system on a controller. All timers are associated with their
system, so for a % of post bleed timer looks at the bleed of that system.
TIMER - Select the type (28-day, pulse, limit, percent or
percent of post blowdown) as well as the run times of
each timer available per system.
4.1 Timer Type Selection
A pop-up screen lets you scroll through the various timer types available.
* Pulse - A water meter activated timer
* Limit - Feed with bleed with a maximum run time or
limit for one bleed cycle.
Recycle - A continuous recycle timer with ON and OFF
settings.
* Percent Post Bleed - For feed after bleed for a
settable percentage of the bleed time with a maximum
run time.
28-Day - A biocide or event timer.
* Main timer types used
4.2 Timer Set Up
Each timer type selected will have its own unique Set
