Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the YSI 5200A. The YSI 5200A is a fully programmable
aquatic control monitor with alarming capability. The 5200A monitors, controls,
and alarms DO (dissolved oxygen), conductivity, ORP, pH, and two Aux (auxil-
iary) inputs. In addition, the 5200A has four (4) 10 event timers and one (1) feed
timer system. Peripheral devices connected to the 5200A respond to user-defined
configuration to ensure that stable water conditions are maintained. The 5200A’s
on-site and remote access capability are suitable for a variety of applications.
5200A features:
DO, conductivity, ORP, pH, and temperature (or DO and temperature only) -
monitoring with control and alarm capability from one multiparameter
probe and cable assembly
two (2) independent Aux I/O systems - - [digital or analog (0-1VDC,
0-5VDC, or 4-20mA)]
four (4) onboard relays - 240VAC@ 5AMPs; 110VAC@10AMPS -
universal AC power option (only available on AC instruments) -
DC power option with low battery alarm -
four (4) ten event daily timers -
one (1) feed timer -
two (2) 32-bit processors -
non-volatile memory of sensor, event, calibration, and configuration* data -
logs
1000 data set memory for sensor data -
field upgradable software and firmware -
backlit LCD with timer function - input and output data displayed con- -
tinuously
menu-driven programming with four (4) softkeys -
networking capability - connect up to (32) 5200As on one network via -
RS485 protocol
optional AquaManager® PC software** serves as a monitor management -
tool via direct (RS232) or TCP/IP connection
email alarming via TCP/IP or AquaManager connection -
NEMA 4X, IP65 enclosure -
See Product Specifications in this chapter for complete details on all 5200A fea-
tures.
*A configuration log records any changes made to the 5200A setup. For example,
changing a set point for a alarm would be recorded in the configuration log.
Introduction
**AquaManager displays real time data from monitors and provides data logging,
graphing, autopolling, mapping, and system configuration control from a PC.
AquaManager is a valuable tool for remote and local access applications.
Product Description
The 5200A system manages aquatic environments by automating control and alarm
devices to maintain stable water conditions.
A 5200A system is configurable by the user; therefore, each system setup is unique
to the application. An example of a 5200A system could include*:
5200A instrument(s) -
5200A components such as power, communication, and network devices -
input peripheral devices (i.e. float switch, probe assembly) -
output peripheral devices (i.e. aerator) -
5200A user-defined configuration -
AquaManager PC interface (optional) -
*All of the items listed are not included with the purchase of a 5200A instrument.
Input devices send data to the 5200A. This data is processed based on the 5200A
configuration. For example, a DO sensor (input) reports a 5.4 mg/L value and
relay #3 (output) is configured to activate an aerator when value is ≤ 5.5 mg/L. The
aerator wired to relay #3 will be energized until the 5200A receives a DO sensor
reading ≥ the set point value.
Figure 1.1 shows the 5200A front panel and enclosure. The front panel includes an
LCD, which continuously displays current system conditions. Front panel keys are
used to navigate screens and program configurations. Compression fittings located
at the bottom of the enclosure provide liquid-tight connections for wiring peripheral
devices and 5200A components.
