SJE® 1 SP6R-X Controller User Manual
Warning: Users must read this manual and understand controller operation before changing any settings.
Entering incorrect settings may result in damage to equipment.
If the SP6R-X controller was shipped pre-installed in a control panel, some default values may have been
changed at the factory in order to properly test the control panel operation. The user must adjust the settings
to the requirements of their particular installation
The user should always keep a record of the settings before making changes, in case there is a need to
revert to previous settings. The user should also record all settings changed for use in programming a new
controller in case a replacement is ever needed.
Always thoroughly test controller operation in the installed configuration to verify user settings.

INTRODUCTION & SPECIFICATIONS
Thank you for your purchase of the SP6R-X controller. This manual explains the features and
operations of the SP6R-X controller which was designed to monitor a 4-20mA input signal. The
controller features six programmable relay outputs that can be used for control and alarm puposes.
The input range is fully configurable. A rotary selector knob is included along with back and escape
pushbuttons for intuitive menu navigation and quick setting adjustments. A simulation mode allows the
user to easily test the setpoints and relay operation.

MAIN MENU
While in the Main Display screen, press the ENTER button to view the Main Menu.
RELAY SETPOINTS
These are the Relay Setpoints that can be adjusted.
An edit screen can be brought up by pressing the selection knob when the desired setpoint is
highlighted.
To adjust the value simply scroll the knob to the desired value and click the knob to save the setting.
The adjustment scale will default to tenths. The adjustment scale can be set to tenths, ones, tens
and hundreds as shown on previous page. Depending on the specific adjustment, hundreds may not
be an option.
To adjust the scale, click the ◄button until the desired increment is highlighted.
Ones will be adjusted Tens will be adjusted Hundreds will be adjusted
SJE®4 SP6R-X Controller User Manual

The default scale is feet. This can be changed using the Analog Scaling menu.
To ignore any changes and return to the previous screen, press the ESC button or press and hold
the ◄button.
LEVEL SIMULATION
When Enabled, Level Simulation is used to temporarily use the selector wheel to simulate input
level changes. This can be helpful for troubleshooting a system to ensure the controller is functioning
correctly without actually having various level scenarios available.
Rotate the selector knob to make fine adjustments. To make coarse adjustments, press and hold the
◄button while rotating the selector knob.
SJE® 5 SP6R-X Controller User Manual

The Analog Scaling menu contains the following 8 settings.
ANALOG INPUT (4mA)
Set this to the displayed level reading when the signal value is equal to 4 mA.
Allowable range: 0-999.9.
ANALOG INPUT (20mA)
Set this to the displayed level reading when the signal value is equal to 20 mA.
Allowable range: 0-999.9.
TRANSMITTER OFFSET
Use the Transmitter Offset to add a constant amount to the measured level input. For example,
in the case where a 20.0-ft range submersible level transmitter was mounted one foot above the
bottom of the tank, the Transmitter Offset setting would be “001.0 ft”. This would add 1.0 ft to
whatever the input reading would be, so that all displayed levels were with respect to the bottom of
the tank, not merely the bottom of the level sensor. In the example given, a 20mA input would be
displayed as 21.0 ft. All level setpoints are referenced to the displayed level, which includes any
Transmitter Offset.
Allowable range: -999.9 – to 999.9.
ANALOG OUT LOW LEVEL
This setting defines the displayed level reading that corresponds with 4.0 mA on the analog output.
This can be set below or above the Analog Out High Level setting.
ANALOG OUT HIGH LEVEL
This setting defines the displayed level reading that corresponds with 20.0 mA on the analog output.
This can be set above or below the Anlog Out Low Level setting.
Example: If you want the 4-20mA output to be scaled such that it ouputs 4mA at a 5.0-ft level
reading, and 20 mA at a 10.0-ft level reading, you would set the Analog Out Low Level setting
to 5.0 ft, and the Anolog Out High Level setting to 10.0 ft.
BAR GRAPH MINIMUM
Set this value to the displayed level reading that should correspond with the bottom of the bar graph.
BAR GRAPH MAXIMUM
Set this value to the displayed level reading that should correspond with the top of the bar graph.
SJE®6 SP6R-X Controller User Manual
ANALOG SCALING MENU

LEVEL UNITS
This setting defines what units label is applied to the level input reading and all level settings. The
available settings are:
ft = Feet
in = Inches
m = Meters
cm = Centimeters
PSI = Pounds Per Square Inch
bar = Bar
kPa = Kilopascals
% = Percentage
°C = Degrees Celsius
°F = Degrees Fahrenheit
GPM = Gallons Per Minute
m³/hr = Cubic Meters Per Hour
V = Volts
A = Amps
mA = Milliamps
(none)= Blank, no units will be displayed
OUT-OF-RANGE BEHAVIOR
These settings for relay outputs 1-6 control the operation of each relay when the analog input is
out of its allowable range (below 3.75 mA or above 20.25 mA). By default, the relay outputs are off
(open) when the analog input is out of range. Within the allowable range, the relays operate accord-
ing to the relay setpoints.

MODBUS SETUP MENU
The Modbus Setup menu contains the following two settings:
NODE ADDRESS
This is the Modbus address of the SP6R-X.
BAUD RATE
The Modbus communication baud rate can be set to the following:
1200, 2400, 4800, 9600, 19.2K, 38.4K
ANALOG I/O STATUS SCREEN
ANALOG I/O STATUS
This screen shows the current in mA of the analog input (A Input) and analog output (A Output). This
can be used for troubleshooting to make sure the 4-20 mA signals are behaving as expected.
SJE®8 SP6R-X Controller User Manual

OPERATION
The adjustable ON and OFF function allows for an individual hysteresis or differential setting of each
setpoint. For an emptying application, the ON setpoint must be greater than the OFF setpoint. For a
filling application, the ON setpoint must be less than the OFF setpoint (See below).
NOTE: For proper operation of the SP6R-X controller, the ON and OFF setpoints must not be set to
the same value.

MODBUS COMMUNICATION
The SP6R-X is equipped with Modbus RTU support using the D+ and D- RS-485 terminals. The
Modbus registers and communications specifi cations are designed to work with an SJE Panel
Link™ Gateway right out of the box.
• Baud Rate: 9600 baud
• Data Bits: 8 bits
• Stop Bits: 1 bit
• Parity: None
• Node Address: 1
• Modbus Function Codes Supported:
• Read Holding Registers (0x03)
• Write Single Register (0x06)
