Introduction
About the EnviroRanger ERS 500…
The EnviroRanger is intended for advanced water and wastewater
appications. This device can hand e virtua y a of your pump contro and
eve monitoring needs – often repacing expensive PLCs and integrating into
a SCADA system for a fraction of the cost of competitive systems.
The EnviroRanger is programmable.
It can be configured for neary any water or wastewater app ication, contro
up to five pumps, gates, or a arms – and can communicate its status by way
of direct seria connection, modem, or industria communication network.
The EnviroRanger is flexible.
It can take discrete input from pumps or other devices to modify its
operation, and can a so time events to maximize efficiency or minimize cost.
The EnviroRanger is upgradeable.
Its basic features can be further enhanced with any of the fo owing:
Hard are Upgrades
• I/O Anaog Cards
• RAM memory
• Discrete inputs
Soft are Upgrades
• Dua Point
• Data Logging

About Configuring ERS 500 Parameters…
The primary method of configuring the EnviroRanger is using Milltronics
Dolphin Plus software and a serial connection to the device.
Configuring the EnviroRanger using the optional Hand Programmer is
possible but is not recommended for complex installations.
As a rule of thumb, if your application falls into one of the pre-configured
applications outlined in the EnviroRanger User Guide, then use the hand
programmer. If your application is more complex than this, then we suggest
that you use Dolphin Plus. To purchase a copy of Dolphin Plus, contact your
Milltronics representative.
About Power Interruptions…
All operator programming is stored in non-volatile memory, and is unaffected
by power interruptions. Reporting functions use volatile RAM with battery
backup.

If you have Single Point Mode (base unit)…
Norma y there is a singe eve measurement point and a re evant
parameters are g oba. For “DPD” or “DPA” operation, either 2 transducers of
the same type are required, or one transducer and one mA input. If two

Parameter Reference
transducers are used, a transducer parameters become indexed, and a
third eve point is ca cu ated.
• DPD (difference) = Point 1 - Point 2
• DPA (average) = (Point 1 + Point 2) / 2
For these operations any of three eve points (transducer 1, transducer 2, or
the cacu ated point) can be used to trigger reays (see P110 Leve Source
on page 20).
If you have Dual Point Mode (optional)…
With the Dua Point option insta ed the EnviroRanger is abe to contro three
independent app ications – one on each transducer pus the ca cu ated eve .
Each app ication type is defined in P001 on index 1, 2, or 3.
Operation [index] Available Values
P001[1] 1, 2, 3, 6, 7
P002[2] 1, 2, 3, 6, 7
P003[3] 4, 5
So, when programming a unit with the Dua Point option you can specify any
of the three eve points (transducer 1, transducer 2, or the cacuated eve
point) for any parameter indexed by “ eve ”.
