2.2. Power, Probe, and Network Cabling
A picture of the rearof the 2300 is shown belowin Figure 2-2. We recommend removing the Molex connectors
and connecting wires to them and then attaching the connectors to the unit.
Connect the:
· Power cord
· CAT-5 Ethernet cable

e
e
to be used later as described in Section 5.
· Probe wires: Two-wire 4-20mA cables connect tothe analog connector. Pulse inputs connect to the
digital inputs.
Probe wiring depends on the type and manufacturer of the probe, and instructions can be found with each
probe. We show examples of the different wiring diagrams in Figure 3 thatmay be called for by your analog (4-
20 mA) probes, but please look up your individual probe directions. Connections for flow meters, whichoutput a
pulse frequency, such as paddle wheels or magmeters, use the pulse input
Note : The 2300 controller comes with a microSD card that is used for firmware updates. If you purchase a
second card it is important that the card has a speed rating of at least 10.

2.3. Relay Wiring
The 2300 controller has4 relays that can beexpanded to 10 with the addition of a second card. Therelays are
capable of handling 120V @ 10 A or 240 V @ 5 A. They can also be part of a 24VDC circuit. Unlike the Shark-120
the relays are not powered. To power a relay and the device to be controlled (e.g. a pump or a solenoid) wire the
relay circuit as shown.
Figure 2-4 - Electrical Connections for a circuit involving a relay, power source and device.
2.4. Powering Up the 2300
With the probes connected, power up the 2300. If the controller is operating properly, the green LED's onthe
back panel indicate proper operation. (See Figure 2-2.) From top to bottom:
1. The top most LED is the
Fault light it should be slowly blinking.
2. The middle LED is the
System Operating light and it should be quickly blinking.
3. The bottom LED is the
Power On light and it should be on and steady.
The
Run screen should appear and display4 panes. It will show the actual mA readingof the four analog probes
(see Figure 3-2). Dashes (----) indicate that a probeis either not connected or itis out of range. Note that the
preconfigured software only shows the actual current being read by the 2300. In order to have probe outputs
expressed in the appropriate units (e.g. pH, mV, µS/cm, etc.)you need to carry out set-up over a network usinga
web browser. See Section 4.1 or 4.3of this guide for network setup,and Section 5 for configuring the 2300 over
the network. The main purpose ofthis initial screen showingthe raw current outputs of the connected probesis
simply to reassure you that that controller is running properly.
2.5. Configuring the 2300 for Network Operation
The default setup forthe 2300 includes Dynamic HostControl Protocol (DHCP)for automatically assigning an IP
address to a unit. This IPaddress is the key piece of information that allows usersto locate and log into any 2300
on a local or wide area network.

Page 9
Once the controller isconnected a Local Area Network (LAN) the router will assign the 2300its IP address. To find
out what that IP is:
1. Click on the
Menu button.
2. Click on the top-most menu item,
View System Info .
3. The IP address is listed on the second line. See Figure 2-5.
Figure 2-5 - The IP address of the 2300 assigned by the router is listed on the second line.
Section 4.3 goes into network connectivity in greater depth.
3. Operating the 2300 from the Front Panel
3.1. Front Panel Display
The 2300 front panel display shows aseries of RUN screens andMENU screens. It does not have the full
functionality of theweb interface and is meant tobe a local display and secondary user interface.
There are eight navigation buttons belowthe screen: four arrow buttons and the following:
· The RUN button brings up the quad screen from anywhere
· The MENU button bringsup the front panel menu
· The BACK button returns the user to the previous screen.

Page 10
Figure 3-1 - The Run display on the left reports 4 process values at a time. If there are more than 4 pressing ê reveals
the hidden values. The identical image appears on the web browser. The Detail screen on the right shows the detailed
status of the Tank pH condition, including process value and alarm or relay.
· The Run screen includes a summary screen showing the status andvalues of 4 probes at one time. If
more than 4 probes are enabled in the controller, the ê and é buttons will allow you to see additional
probes.
· Each quadrant in the Run screen shows a probelabel, current value with units, trend arrows for the
reading, and a statuslight for the controller outputs. The status light is:
Ö
Green for normal operation
Ö
Yellow for an activated relay
Ö
Red for an activatedalarm
· Pressing è brings you to the Detail status screen for one sensor. As Figure 3-1 shows, this screen lists
the action outputs for thisprobe, including the action description and set-pointvalue, and the last
calibration date. The actions are colorcoded, with green for normal operation, redfor alarm condition,
and yellow for an activated relay.
· The ê and é buttons cycle through screens of individual probes. Pressing the ç button brings back
the
Run screen.
· When a probe activates an alarm the front panel display automatically switches toa flashing detailed
Detail screen. To restore the display to the Run screen press the Run button.
· Pressing the Enter button will bringup a Meter Action screen, allowingthe user to acknowledge an
alarm, if active, or setting relay trip points.
· Press the Run button to return to the Run screen.
3.2. Optional Pre-configured Operation
If specified in the order the 2300 controller can come software-preconfigured for sixprobes, allowing the user to
wire up probes andstart operation without configuring the unit over the web interface. This convenience is

Page 11
simply meant to allowyou to connect probes and verify that they produce signals.
It is not meant to replace
the web-based set-up.

The Detail screen listsalarm and relay set points, lastcalibration date, and will flash when the channel is in
alarm mode. The configure screen allows resetting of the alarm and relay set points, alarm acknowledgement,
and zeroing of the totalizer and dispenser functions and otherchannel-specific functions.
3.3. Front Panel Menu
The front panel menuis limited to a select groupof functions. The outline of this menustructure is listed in Table
1.
These front panel menu items ensure that the unit maybe connected to the web interfaceto allow the complete
configuration thatyou will need to do. When not connectedto the web (or computer), the unit still operates and
all non-web-based features are still fully functional.

3.5. Setting Relays from the Front Panel
Another operation thatmay be performed at the front panel is configuring relay set points. Except in the rare
case in which there is no access to a localarea network, you will have already set upthe relay trigger points in
the Probe Configuration Wizard. These instructions are forchanging those values. You can follow the sequence

3.6. Saving and Restoring Your Configuration from the Front Panel
Once you have configured the 2300 with probe definitions, relay/alarm set pings and email and server set ups,
you can save these settings to the external microSD card via the front panelmenu. This is a very feature that is
very helpful in case you unit loses its configuration.
1. Carefully insert amicroSD card in the rear slot. (Be careful to insert the card into the slot and not in the
space above where the card will disappear into the box.)
2. Click on the
Menu button. The Backup/Restore option is already selected. Click on Backup
Configuration
.
3. The next screen will prompt you to
Cancel or Proceed . Click on Proceed .
4. The next screen will displaya message that the savewas successful. If there is no microSD card you will
get the message, Backup Failed.
To restore the configuration:
1. insert a microSD cardwith the desired configuration file folder called BACKUP.
2. Click on the
Menu button, scroll down to Save/RestoreConfiguration, and select Restore
Configuratio n.
3. The next screen will prompt you to insertthe microSD card containingthe Backup files and press
Enter
to continue.
4. The IP address ofthe unit is stored on a Backupfile. The next screen gives you the option of either
keeping the IP addressas it currently exists or using the IP address from the Backup. Select and click on
your choice.
5. The next screen prompts you to either
Cancel or Proceed . Select Proceed and click on Enter .

Page 17
6. The next screen will display a message thatthe save was successful. If there is no microSD card you will
get the message, Backup Failed.
The Restore utility only works with units having the same firmware build. Upgrades to firmware will not change
the configuration insidethe 2300, so we suggest saving the configuration to a memory card after a firmware
upgrade.
4. Operating the 2300 from a Web Interface
-based interface youwill undoubtedly find it faster
and easier to use it for nearly all operations.
4.1. Setting up an Ethernet Connection to a Network Router
Connecting the 2300to an existing networkwith the Ethernet cable enables the 2300 to becomea device on the
Local Area Network(LAN). This is the network that is visible to everyone inside your facility. All devices that
connect to the LANhave a unique address, called an
IP (Internet Protocol) address. You may manually assign the
IP address with a number of your choosingor you can allow your router to automatically assign the 2300 an IP
address. Because the router may change that address this method is called Dynamic Host Control Protocol
(
DHCHP ).
4.2. Connecting to a 2300 within Your Local Area Network (LAN)

The easiest methodfor configuring the 2300 ona LAN is to use DHCP for assigning an IP address forthe 2300.
(See Section 2.5) You only need to set the Ethernet connection on your computeror smart device to configure the
2300 via DHCP. The IP address is shown onthe front panel during powerup or can be seen viathe Main Menu
under
View System Info ( Menu > View System Info ).
The IP address will look something like 192.168.1.7. Save this address to access the 2300 from your Local Area
Network (LAN).
Changing IP addressing from Fixed IP toDHCP or vice versa is an operation that must be done on the front panel.
See Figure 4-1.
1. Click on the
Menu button.
2. Scroll down with the
ê key to the bottom-most menu item, Advanced Menu and click on it.
3. If password protection is enabled (Section 5.7.2), enter the numeric passcode.
4. Scroll down with the
ê key to Network Setup and click on Enter .
5. The first menu item is
Network Type . Click on Enter .
6. Select either
Fixed or DHCP . In this section the choice is DHCP .

The main reason for assigning a fixed IPaddress to a 2300is to configure it on a wide area network. However,
even with DHCP, most routers very infrequently change IP addresses of devices.
To configure the 2300 with a fixed IP address first set the unit up for that mode. Follow theinstructions in the
previous section. Request an IP address number anda port number from your IT person. If either one conflicts
with an existing deviceyou will cause much pain and suffering.

In order to access the 2300 from a Wide Area Network (WAN), i.e. outside your facility, you will need the address
of your router and the port number of the 2300. If you have onlyone 2300 to be accessed on a WAN, you can use
1. You first need theIP address of your router,also called the External IP . This is NOT a number that looks
like other IP addresses, e.g. 192.168.1.20. To determinethe address just open a browser and enter the

You can also connect to many routers by entering the IP address 192.168.1.1.
2. When you accessyour 2300 from outside your facility your browser needs to identifyyour LAN, which it
does through the external IP. Every item on your LAN has an IP address.Port forwarding assigns a so-
called
port number to that LAN IP address.

The port forwarding number can be any number not taken by another device. However we recommend
avoiding any number between 0 and 100 and, preferably, a 5- say you choose 5000
for the port forwarding number of a 2300. Using theexample above, the externalIP address of the 2300
then becomes

If your router supports aDemilitarized Zone (
DMZ ) then you can forgo the use of aport number. The DMZ is a
sub-network that isolates its device from the rest of your network. If an intruderattempts to attack your network

4.3. Setting up a Direct Ethernet Connection
A wireless connection between a computer and the 2300 is the most commonly used method for controllingthe
2300. For nearly all users this is the configurationthat will ever be used. For isolated instances, such as setting-up
the 2300 when a network is not currently available, one can make a direct connection between a 2300 anda
computer or smart device with an Ethernet cable. Current Operating Systems

connect to an IP device t require a crossover Ethernet
cable. Note that, after setting up the 2300 Controller, the tethered laptop may be disconnected for operation.
To configure the connection, switch fromDHCP (automatic) IP addressing to fixed IP addressing, as described in
Section 4.2.2. The fixed IP address you assign to the 2300 must be entered into the computer. Configuringyour
computer for fixed IP Ethernet communication varies amongst operating systems. We provide basic instructions.
To access more specificinstructions just search using the phrase in conjunction
with your operatingsystem name.
Connect the computer to the 2300 viaan Ethernet (CAT-5) cable. Apply power to the 2300 Controller. The next
three sections show howto set up Ethernetsettings on the computer endand the 2300 end.
