5200 Recirculating System Monitor

Page Now
Page Now sends a test page consisting of the last 3 digits of the serial number of the 5200 followed by
999. As an example, for a YSI 5200 with serial number 52-003598, the page would appear as follows:

“598 999”

Serial Setting

The only Serial Setting selection is Baud Rate.

Baud Rate
The baud rate is the speed that the YSI 5200 transmits data via the serial IP port. It can be set at 300,
1200, 2400, 9600 or 19,200 baud. The default value (19,200 baud) will work with 90% of the modems in
use today. If you are using AquaManager software, the baud rate must be set to 19,200.

Network

Multiple 5200s can be connected together via their RS485 network ports (see 8.1 RS485 Network).

9.1.3 Password

Use the password feature to protect your 5200 from unauthorized use. Anyone attempting to use the 5200
will not be able to enter the menus unless they enter the correct password.

NOTE: If you choose not to use the password protection, do not enter any password. Move to the next

setup procedure, Section 9.1.4 Display.

Once you have enabled and entered a password, you will be prompted to enter it when attempting to
access any menus from the Run screen. In order to disable it in the future, you will have to know the
Password, enter the System Menu, select Password and select No for Enabled?

Do not forget your password!

9.1.4 Display

The only Display selection is Display Speed.

Display Speed

Display Speed controls how quickly the Run screen scrolls through the parameter readings. The higher
the value entered, the longer the display will remain on each parameter. The allowable range is 1–20,
corresponding to an actual display time of 1–6 seconds per parameter.
