Product overview
PROGNOSYS (Prognosis System) is a software package used to monitor and show the reliability of
measurement values and to identify pending maintenance tasks. This software is available for sc
sensors. The sc1000 controller operates and configures the software.
The controller display will show horizontal bars as a measurement value indicator and as a service
indicator for the remaining time until the next maintenance task. The green, yellow and red indicators
show and identify the status of each sensor. Each sensor has an individual screen.
The service indicator is a prediction about future maintenance and service tasks, which are based on
the current sensor status. The service messages supply information on maintenance tasks that the
user must complete (e.g., to clean the sensor or replace the reagents). In addition, service tasks are
shown that the service technician must complete. All service messages have a countdown period
with sufficient time to contact a service technician or to order a replacement part.
Product components
Make sure that all components have been received. If any items are missing or damaged, contact the
manufacturer or a sales representative immediately.
PROGNOSYS can only be used with an sc1000 controller that has an RTC communication card or a
PROGNOSYS card installed. The PROGNOSYS files for the different sc sensors are kept on the
sc1000 controller.
To use PROGNOSYS without an RTC module, install a PROGNOSYS communication card on an
sc1000 controller. Refer to Replacement parts on page 18.
Installation
PROGNOSYS communication card
If a PROGNOSYS communication card is installed, the controller display shows RTC
MODULES/PROGNOSYS in the main menu.
Install the RTC/PROGNOSYS communication card
Install an RTC or a PROGNOSYS communication card on an sc1000 controller with the software
version 3.20 or higher.
The controller operates a maximum of three communication cards at the same time. Each
PROGNOSYS communication card manages a maximum of eight sensors.
Refer to the applicable documentation for the RTC or PROGNOSYS communication card installation.
User interface and navigation
Keypad description
Refer to Figure 1 for the keypad description and navigation information.
4 English

Figure 1 Keypad description
1 Enter: Saves the setting and exits the current
screen to the CONFIGURE menu
4 Delete: Removes a sensor from the selection
2 Cancel: Exits the current screen to the
CONFIGURE menu without saving the setting
5 UP and DOWN arrows: Moves the sensors up or
down the list
3 Add: Adds a new sensor to the selection
Startup
Add a sensor
Note: PROGNOSYS is not available for all sensors. Only newer sensor models can use the PROGNOSYS
function.
Note: Make sure that an RTC or a PROGNOSYS communication card is installed in the sc1000 sensor module.
When an RTC or PROGNOSYS communication card is installed, PROGNOSYS files are available
for different sc sensors. Do the steps that follow to add a sensor. Refer to Figure 2.
1. Connect the controller. Refer to the controller documentation.
2. Select an option.

3. Push Add. A list with all network connections opens.
4. Select the applicable sensor for the RTC or PROGNOSYS module and push Enter. The sensor is
shown in the sensor list.
Note: Sensor names with black font are available for an RTC module. Sensor names with red font are not
available for an RTC module. A sensor name identified with a "(p)" is available for PROGNOSYS.
5. Push Add to add more sensors from the list.
Sensors that are selected before are shown in gray. Refer to Figure 3 on page 7 or Figure 4
on page 7 to put in order or delete a sensor.
6. Push Enter to accept the list.

Operation
PROGNOSYS indicator bars
If PROGNOSYS is installed, two additional horizontal bars show in the top right-hand corner of the
measurement screen. The top bar is the measurement value indicator. The bottom bar is the service
indicator. If no bars show up, refer to Troubleshooting on page 17. The position of the cursor and
the value in the indicator identifies the sensor status. Refer to Table 1.
English 7

Table 1 Color definitions
Color Definition
Green The sensor is in operation with no warnings, errors or reminders.
Yellow The sensor is in operation with active warnings or reminders.
The measurement indicator (top bar) shows a possible measurement value deviation,
but the value is still within the permitted tolerance.
The service indicator (bottom bar) shows an upcoming maintenance task which
includes a countdown period. Set the countdown period between 7 and 14 days.
Red The measurement value is invalid or immediately complete a service task.
Blank (background
color)
No data is available or the RTC/PROGNOSYS communication card was removed.
Display description
The measurement value indicator is not a linear degrading indicator because of the sensor special
model based calculation.
Measurement zone Range
Green zone 100 to 75%
Yellow zone <75 to 50%
Red zone <50 to 0%
The exact status shows with an additional vertical cursor. A maximum of four measurement values
show if multiple sensors are installed on the sc1000. The indicators are shown for each installed
sensor in the top right-hand corner.
If only a frame around the background color shows and no traffic light colors, no data is available for
the sensor. If no bars are shown, refer to Troubleshooting on page 17. Refer to Figure 5 and
Figure 6 for examples shown on the display.
