1. General Information
1.1 Introduction
The Monitek Messenger is a compact, highly efficient, and expandable
system that is designed to interface to a broad range of Monitek sensors.
It also has the capability to interface with multiple and different sensors at
the same time. Its modular design approach enables several applications
to be customized for a variety of measurements, such as Turbidity,
Suspended solids, Color, % Concentration, and oil in water, using optical
in-line Sensors. The Messenger PC Transmitter has a Touchscreen PC
(TPC). The TPC (or GUI, Graphical User Interface) offers completely
menu-driven screens that are easy to understand and also has online
help. The GUI interface is designed to allow three access levels
(Operator, Technician and Factory) to prevent an unskilled operator from
changing any critical parameter in the setup of the transmitter. The
interface is intuitive with no need for programming codes or program
numbers. The system also includes some self-check operations as well
as the ability to access the basic measurement values without the use of a
multi-meter or even physically accessing the electronics. The system
includes the ability to perform field calibrations while the instrument is
installed in the process and is operating. It comes factory pre-configured
to your application. For most accurate setup we recommend that the user
calibrate on his process sample condition. Please refer to Process
calibration.

1.2 Safety Considerations
•Power source:
This instrument requires an input of 90-260VAC at 50-60 Hertz (unless otherwise
specified). A 24VDC/AC power supply is optional.
Installing AC Wiring:
AC power consumption is less than 50 Watts at 110 Volts AC. Use
#18AWG wire for power connections. Transmitter relay ratings for alarms
and external devices are 2 A at 250V~ maximum; use #18 AWG or
20AWG for wiring.
WARNING: MAKE SURE THE AC POWER MAINS ARE
SWITCHED OFF OR OTHERWISE DISCONNECTED BEFORE YOU
BEGIN WIRING THE SYSTEM TO AVOID THE POSSIBILITY OF
ELECTRICAL SHOCK. IT IS A REQUIRED TO INSTALL A MAIN
POWER CUTOFF SWITCH NEAR THE SYSTEM WITH EXTERNAL
MAIN FUSES.
SPECIFICATIONS FOR THE FUSES: 260VAC, ¾ AMP
•Proper instrument grounding:
The instrument must be grounded to avoid electrical shock hazards
to personnel, damage to the unit and erroneous operation.

-7-
THE SYSTEM REQUIRES AN AC-GROUND (EARTH
GROUND) AND ALL SENSORS CONNECTED TO THE
TRANSMITTER MUST BE GROUNDED.
•Do not operate with open enclosure. Exposed electronics will promote
the risk of electrical shock and might cause damage to the unit.
•Do not alter cable length. The instrument was calibrated with a
specified cable length. Altering cable length can cause unstable
signals and void instrument calibration.
•Keep original packing materials. Ship the instrument in the original
packing material to avoid damage to the sensor or transmitter. If
packing material is needed, contact Monitek.
•Mishandling of the sensor is not covered under warranty. Do not
disconnect the interior wiring of the sensor.
1.3 Device Installation
1.3.1 Transmitter location, specifications and installation.
The transmitter should be installed using the mounting ears in a
vertical position. The transmitter should not be installed in direct
sunlight, as this will tend to cause abnormally high heat inside the
enclosure, also avoid locations that are close to excessive heat
generating equipment.
