files.
Further information about the settings of the digital inputs can be found in
section 8.2.1.6 “Digital inputs” on page21.
7.8 RC protection for relay
When connecting to the relay, note that inductive loads must be sup-
pressed. If this is not possible, the relay contact on the device terminal
must be protected by an RC protective circuit/interference suppression
element.
If devices with inductive loads from a nominal current of 1 A are connect-
ed to a relay, the contacts in the relay may become bonded. Thus, the de-
vice will operate in an uncontrolled manner. To prevent bonding if the load
circuit suffers a short-circuit, the relays must be protected separately on
the maximum relay switching current.
Precondition for action:
ü
You would like to connect an inductive load to the relay.
Instruction:
1. Switch off the device.
2. Clamp the interference suppression element parallel to the inductive
load.
3. Should it prove impossible to perform point 2, clamp the interference
suppression element parallel to the relay output.
ü
RC element clamped.

You can connect up to four temperature sensors to the device. This ena-
bles you to measure the temperatures at various positions.
Perform the following steps:
1. In the main menu under System > Inputs, navigate to the “Tempera-
ture” tab.
2. In the “Temperature” tab, configure every connected temperature
sensor and state the following information.
3. Measurement: Chose between “On” and “Off”.
4. Min-alarm: Activate or deactivate the “Minimum-alarm” and enter a
temperature under which the alarm will be triggered.
5. Max-alarm: Activate or deactivate the “Maximum-alarm” and enter a
temperature to exceed which the alarm will be triggered.
ü
Configuration of the temperature sensors completed.
8.2.1.3 Compensation
The water parameters which you measure with the device can be falsi-
fied by interference (e.g. with temperature or pH value).
The device can compensate these interferences automatically.
Perform the following steps:
1. Working in the main menu under System > Inputs, navigate to the
“Compensation” tab.
2. Working in the “Compensation” tab, configure every sensor connect-
ed for which the measured value is to be compensated and state the
following information.
3. Temperature: If it is possible to compensate for the influence of the
temperature, you can select a fixed reference value or one of the four
temperature inputs.
4. pH value: If it is possible to compensate for the pH value error, you
can select a fixed reference value or a sensor input.
ü
Configuration of the compensation completed.
8.2.1.4 Disturbance variable
You can connect the measurement of a disturbance variable (e.g. a flow
volume) to an analogue 4 − 20 mA input. The disturbance variable can
then be taken into account with a factor (0.1 to 10) during the calculation
of the control variable Y. The control variable Y will be multiplied with the
disturbance variable during the calculation.
Example: If the factor = 2 and the disturbance variable amounts to 42%,
the controller can be set to a maximum of the control variable Y = 84 %. If
the factor = 0.5 and the disturbance variable amounts to 42%, the con-
troller can be set to a maximum of the control variable Y=21%.
Perform the following steps:
1. Working in the main menu under System > Controller, navigate to the
“Flow input” tab and state the following information.
2. Disturbance variable: Set the disturbance variable to an input signal
of 4–20mA or 0–20mA. You can also deactivate the disturbance
variable.
3. Unit: As a rule, the disturbance variable is the measurement of a flow.
Select the desired unit.
ü
Configuration of the disturbance variable input completed.

8.2.1.5 Virtual inputs
You can calculate a new value from multiple measurements or reference
values using a virtual input. You can assign the new virtual value to a con-
troller in the configuration assistant.
In this way, you can calculate a difference, the combined chlorine and the
effective chlorine and use them as a basis for controlling your actors.
Difference
You can calculate the difference between two measured values or the dif-
ference between a measured value and a fixed reference value.
Perform the following steps:
1. Working in the main menu under System > Inputs, navigate to the
“Virtual” tab.
2. State the following information.
3. Calculation: Select “difference”.
4. Select a sensor.
5. Select a second sensor or a reference value. The second sensor must
output the same measured value as the first. You will need to enter
the reference value manually.
6. Min-alarm: Activate or deactivate the minimum alarm and state a dif-
ference value which, if it falls below a value, will trigger an alarm.
7. Max-alarm: Activate or deactivate the maximum alarm and state a
difference value which, if exceeded, will trigger an alarm.
8. Delay: Set a time delay for the minimum and maximum alarm.
ü
Configuration of the difference completed.
Combined chlorine
Combined chlorine is calculated from the difference between the total
chlorine and the free chlorine:
Combined chlorine = total chlorine - free chlorine
At least one total chlorine measurement is required to calculate com-
bined chlorine. The chlorine value can be entered manually as a single
reference value or a corresponding sensor input is selected.
Perform the following steps:
1. Working in the main menu under System > Inputs, navigate to the
“Virtual” tab.
2. Working in the “Virtual” tab, configure the desired calculation of the
combined chlorine and state the following information.
3. Calculation: Select “Combined chlorine” to calculate the combined
chlorine.
4. Total chlorine: Select the sensor which measures the total chlorine.
5. Free chlorine: Select the sensor which measures the free chlorine. If
no sensor is present, you can enter a reference value measured once
which can be used for the calculation.
6. Min-alarm: Activate or deactivate the minimum alarm and state a
value under which the alarm will be triggered.
7. Max-alarm: Activate or deactivate the maximum alarm and state a
value over which the alarm will be triggered.
8. Delay: Set a time delay for the minimum and maximum alarm.
ü
Configuration of the combined chlorine completed.
Effective chlorine
The disinfectant effect of the free chlorine is highly dependant on the pH
value of the process water. The pH value influences the reactivity of the
Chlorine ions. This relationship is underscored by the dissociation curve
(Fig. 19 “Dissociation curve of the effective chlorine” on page 20) of
the chlorine.
The actual disinfectant effect of the chlorine is generated by the hy-
pochlorous acid (HClO). The figure shows that the proportion of the HClO
is largest between pH 2 and pH 7.5. The disinfectant effect is very low
outside this pH value.
For photometric measurements the pH value of the sample is buffered to
approx. pH 6.5. As a result the measurement has a higher effective chlo-
rine content than is actually in the process water. For high pH-values sig-
nificant differences will therefore occur between the expected and actual
disinfection if assessed by photometric analysis. The calculation of the ef-
fective chlorine can be used to display the proportion of the hypochlorous
acid (HCIO), i.e. the proportion which contributes to the disinfectant effect.
