Hach-Lange PROGNOSYS - Manual (Page 6)

Product overview
PROGNOSYS (Prognosis System) is a software package used to monitor and show the reliability of
measurement values and to identify pending maintenance tasks. This software is available for sc
sensors. The sc1000 controller operates and configures the software.
The controller display will show horizontal bars as a measurement value indicator and as a service
indicator for the remaining time until the next maintenance task. The green, yellow and red indicators
show and identify the status of each sensor. Each sensor has an individual screen.
The service indicator is a prediction about future maintenance and service tasks, which are based on
the current sensor status. The service messages supply information on maintenance tasks that the
user must complete (e.g., to clean the sensor or replace the reagents). In addition, service tasks are
shown that the service technician must complete. All service messages have a countdown period
with sufficient time to contact a service technician or to order a replacement part.
Product components
Make sure that all components have been received. If any items are missing or damaged, contact the
manufacturer or a sales representative immediately.
PROGNOSYS can only be used with an sc1000 controller that has an RTC communication card or a
PROGNOSYS card installed. The PROGNOSYS files for the different sc sensors are kept on the
sc1000 controller.
To use PROGNOSYS without an RTC module, install a PROGNOSYS communication card on an
sc1000 controller. Refer to
Replacement parts on page 18.
Installation
PROGNOSYS communication card
If a PROGNOSYS communication card is installed, the controller display shows RTC
MODULES/PROGNOSYS in the main menu.
Install the RTC/PROGNOSYS communication card
Install an RTC or a PROGNOSYS communication card on an sc1000 controller with the software
version 3.20 or higher.
The controller operates a maximum of three communication cards at the same time. Each
PROGNOSYS communication card manages a maximum of eight sensors.
Refer to the applicable documentation for the RTC or PROGNOSYS communication card installation.
