YSI Incorporated 5 5200 Recirculating System Monitor
Section 2. Introduction
Congratulations on your purchase of a sophisticated, yet easy-to-use aquatic environment controller.
Designed with a powerful INTEL
™
microprocessor, your YSI 5200 Recirculating System
Monitor/Controller includes the following features:
Ö Continuous monitoring of Dissolved Oxygen (DO), conductivity, salinity, temperature, pH and
Oxidation Reduction Potential (ORP).
Ö Menu-driven programming environment.
Ö 4 Relay outputs
Ö Aux. I/O system supporting 2 Inputs (1 Digital, 1 Analog/Digital)
Ö FLASH memory that makes upgrading your YSI 5200 Recirculating Monitor with new software
a simple task.
Ö Local audible alarm or optional remote dialup pager alarm capability.
Ö Parameter control capability for controlling peripheral equipment such as pumps, and lighting.
Ö Powerful data logging capability that stores up to 30-days of data.
Ö Communications ports supporting both direct and modem connectivity. RS232, TCP/IP
connectivity and a network communications port allowing multiple YSI 5200 Recirculating
Monitors to be connected via an RS485 network.
Ö Wide operating power range (7–16VDC) along with 12VDC battery backup capability.
Ö AquaManager
™
—Software that allows you to communicate with your YSI 5200 Recirculating
Monitor, perform advanced graphical analysis of current and historical data—from any
Windows 2000/XP PC.
The YSI 5200 is constructed with only the highest quality components. All information gathered by the
controller is processed digitally. The YSI 5200 architecture includes Digital Signal Processing (DSP)
hardware and software that guarantees accurate and repeatable readings over the life of the YSI 5200.
Monitoring Capability
The YSI 5200 software provides for monitoring, control, and alarm capabilities. The five water quality
parameters monitored and controlled are:
Ö Dissolved Oxygen
Ö Conductivity
Ö Temperature
Ö pH
Ö ORP
In addition to the five parameters the YSI 5200 also provides two auxiliary inputs that can be configured
to provide 2 digital inputs or 1 digital input and 1 analog input for sampling a recorder output from
another instrument.
The probe is connected to the YSI 5200 through a waterproof connector (see Figure 4-10 Bottom
Connectors).
Ports for up to three non-metallic watertight compression or conduit fittings are located on the 5200
bottom panel and provide the means for connecting power, relay outputs and communications via the I/O
plate located within the 5200 Monitor. The 5200 Monitor is supplied with compression fittings; conduit
fittings are available as an accessory.
