A. LOW alarm mode
The relay is energized when the ORP drops
below the setpoint, and is de-energized when
the ORP rises above the setpoint plus
hysteresis (sec. 6.3D, 6.3E).
B. HIGH alarm mode
The relay is energized when the ORP rises
above the setpoint and is de-engergized
when the ORP falls below the setpoint plus
hysteresis (sec. 6.3D, 6.3E).
Example 2 (right):
As the process ORP falls below the minimum pulse setpoint (+500 mV) the relay
begins pulsing; triggering the metering pump for chemical addition. As the ORP
continues to decrease, pulsing accelerates proportionally until the maximum
programmed pulse rate of 300 pulses/minute and setpoint (-500 mV) are
reached, forcing the process ORP back up to intended levels (e.g. ≥ +500 mV).
C. Proportional PULSE mode
The proportional pulse relay configuration is primarily designed for metering pump control. The
operator is prompted to enter a minimum and maximum ORP setpoint and maximum pulse rate for
the assigned relay (sec. 6.3F, 6.3G). Relay pulse width is fixed at 130 ms. Refer to the operation
examples below.
• Metering pump chemical addition (dry contact activation type required)
Example 1 (right):
As the process ORP rises above the minimum pulse setpoint (-500 mV) the relay
begins pulsing; triggering the metering pump for chemical addition. As the ORP
continues to rise, pulsing accelerates proportionally until the maximum programmed
pulse rate of 300 pulses/minute and setpoint (+500 mV) are reached, forcing the
process ORP back down to intended levels (e.g. ≤ -500 mV).
5. Relay Operation
4. Relay Connections
Two internal relay contact sets (COM, NO, and NC) may be used
for external device control. Front panel LED annunciators indicate
the activation status of each relay. Each relay can control up to
two devices simultaneously, as shown. Relay operation modes
include Low alarm, High alarm, and Proportional Pulse (sec. 5).
Common device connections include:
• Pulse mode - metering pump control
• Pulse mode - solenoid valve control
• Low or High mode - warning lamps
• Low or High mode - bells or sirens
• Low or High mode - external heavy-duty relay
Wiring Example Right
Device A IS powered when relay 2 is de-energized (front panel
LED “off”). Power is discontinued when the relay 2 setpoint is
reached (front panel LED “on”). Device B IS NOT powered when
the relay 2 is de-energized. Power is applied after the relay 2
setpoint is reached.

Technical Notes:
• Maximum relay contact ratings: 5 A @ 30 VDC, 5 A @ 125
VAC, or 3 A @ 250 VAC
• An external heavy-duty relay must be used for devices with
surge currents or operating currents that exceed the above
specifications.
3. 4 - 20 mA Current Output Connections
Technical Notes:
**1/8A fuse recommended (customer supplied)
* 4-20 mA output is internally powered (non-isolated), maximum
loop impedance 350 Ω with a 12 V instrument supply voltage,
950 Ω with a 24 V instrument supply voltage.
To isolate output and prevent ground loop problems:
1. Use monitor device with isolated inputs, or
2. Use separate DC supply for 5700 and monitor device, or
3. Power 5700 with12 - 24 VAC step down transformer
