I. Introduction
The 4600-RMS microprocessor based controllers are designed to provide a wide range of remote monitoring
functions. The controller is programmed through a front panel keypad or via the internet through WebAdvantage
and can be congured to provide customized remote monitoring for your application. Your particular unit’s
functions can be determined by comparing the units model number to the Model Numbering table listed below.
Description of Unit
4600-RMS monitors provide WebAdvantage internet based remote monitoring, contolling and reporting for a
wide range of analog and digital appliations.
Control Functions
Each of these control functions are based on a 4-20mA analog input and will include user settable relay control
settings along with a High and Low Alarm setting and Limit Timer. When the reading reaches (rises above or
falls below) the Set Point the control relay is activated until the reading changes by the Di󰀨erential amount.

II. Installation
Mounting Instructions
Select a mounting location that provides the operator easy access to the unit and a clear view of the controls
through the cover of the controller.
Electrical Wiring
The 4600-RMS monitor has an internal regulated fused power supply that will operate o󰀨 of 90 to 250 VAC at
47 to 63 Hz on the incoming wiring. Each output relay is individually protected with a replaceable fuse. Relay
outputs will equal incoming line voltage.
CAUTION
1. There are live circuits inside the controller even when the power switch on the front panel is in
the OFF position. Never open the front panel without rst disconnecting power from the outlet.
Prewired controllers are supplied with an 8 foot, 18 AWG power cord with USA style plug. A #1
Phillips driver is required to open the front panel.
2. Low voltage signal wires (mA, digital input, water meter, etc.) should never be run
in conduit with high voltage (like 115VAC) wires.
3. Never attempt to land connections to the controller without rst disconnecting power from the outlet.
4. Do not block access to disconnect power during mounting and installation.
5. 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. Any attempt to bypass the grounding
will compromise the safety of users and property.
6. The electrical installation of the controller must be performed by trained personnel only and
conform to all applicable National, State and Local codes.
7. Operation of this product in a manner not specied by the manufacturer may result in damage
to equipment or persons.
8. Avoid mounting in 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 cause
damage or interference and should be avoided.

Conduit
Conduit units are predrilled at the factory and supplied with conduit knockouts for easy hard wiring to supplied
detachable connectors on the relay card(s) located in the lower section of the controller. Remove the screws
of the lower panel for access.
NOTES:
1. Do not drill holes in upper section of enclosure.
2. All relays provide a N.O. and N.C. output.
3. The control function that activates each relay output is pre-congured at the factory
based on the options selected. To change relay activation, see on page 13.
4. Refer to label inside lower panel cover for specic relay board conguration supplied.
5. Relays congured as “dry contact” should only have D.C. voltage ran through them. The GND
connection point replaces the NEU when congured for dry contact. (Example: Use GND and N.O.
for a normally open dry contact relay output.)
!WARNING: If jumpers are not congured for dry contact, line voltage will be supplied.

IV. System Operation Overview
Operation
4600-RMS controllers have two modes of operation, RUN and SET-UP.
RUN - This mode is for normal operation. In the RUN mode the display will show each system’s parameters.
If an alarm is present, the ALARM box will ash how many alarms are activated. No settings may be entered
or changed in the RUN mode. Readings are updated every 6 seconds on the screen while in the RUN mode.
SET-UP - This mode is used to adjust settings and readings on the controller. To access the SET UP mode
from the RUN screen, press the SETUP/RUN key.
V. Menu Navigation
To access the menus press the Set Up / Run key on the front panel. This takes you to the Home menu. 4600-
RMS controller’s menus are easily navigated by pressing the associated number key next to a menu box on
the screen. Once you have stepped through the sub menus to reach a point at which a value or selection is
made a Pop-up window will appear prompting you to enter a desired value or selection.
NOTE: When entering new numeric values, enter all available digits (characters).

2. Set Points
The same basic format is used for dening each available analog mA control parameters.
SET POINTS - For setting the relay set points for the
available analog readings.
NOTE: In the Setpoint pop-up screen the direction (Rising or Falling) of the setpoint can also be set. Rising
setpoints will activate the control relay when the particular reading rises above the setpoint and will stay
activated until the reading comes down by the amount of the di󰀨erential. If set for Falling the relay is activated
when the probe reading falls below the setpoint and stays on until the probe reading comes back up by the
amount of the di󰀨erential.
2.1 Set Point Options
SET POINT - What reading turns the relay on
DIFFERENTIAL - Amount reading changes by before
the relay is turned o󰀨
HIGH ALARM - What reading generates a High alarm.
LOW ALARM - What reading generates a Low alarm.
LIMIT TIMER - What amount of continuous control will
generate a time alarm notice. The relay is locked-out
by this alarm.
DISABLER - One of the digital inputs can be selected
to prevent alarming.
Note: Each alarm value can also be set-up to be displayed or not on the front screen as well as remotely
notied or not if connected to the Web Advantage server.
2.2 Aux Inputs
Auxiliary inputs are the generic digital input status indicators from external dry contacts. From these menus
the user can set if they want each of the status alarms Displayed, Remote Notication, both or none.
Note: Digital inputs can have the direction selected
between OPEN or CLOSED as the alarm polarity. If
set for CLOSED, the input will be in alarm when it sees
a closed contact.

3. 4-20mA Input Calibration
4-20mA inputs can be calibrated to ensure 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
>mA INPUT 1 CALIBRATION<
20mA 5500
4mA 1100
MAX 200
LOW 0
OFFSET FACTORY DEF.
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.
