Introduction
About the EnviroRanger ERS 500…
The EnviroRanger is intended for advanced water and wastewater
applications. This device can handle virtually all of your pump control and
level monitoring needs – often replacing expensive PLCs and integrating into
a CADA system for a fraction of the cost of competitive systems.
The EnviroRanger is programmable.
It can be configured for nearly any water or wastewater application, control
up to five pumps, gates, or alarms – and can communicate its status by way
of direct serial connection, modem, or industrial communication network.
The EnviroRanger is flexible.
It can take discrete input from pumps or other devices to modify its
operation, and ca`n also time events to maximize efficiency or minimize cost.
The EnviroRanger is upgra eable.
Its basic features can be further enhanced with any of the following:
Har ware Upgra es
• I/O Analog Cards
• RAM memory
• Discrete inputs
Software Upgra es
• Dual Point
• Data Logging

earth (ground) terminal
protective conductor terminal
caution (refer to instructions)
program button on front of instrument
infra-red communication port on front of instrument
RJ-11 communications port
no co-axial cable connections
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.
