2.1 Description of Instrument
The Eutech Instruments’ Alpha CON 560 Controller is used for measuring
conductivity and temperature values. The controller can be used for applications
such as water treatment and controlling, galvanic-decontamination, chemical
processing, food processing, clean or wastewater control and neutralization
processes.
The controller has many user-friendly and safety features which include:
•
Push-button keypad for calibration and setup
• Built-in non-volatile memory to ensure that calibration and other
information are not erased if power supply fails
•
Menu-driven program that simplifies setup
•
Automatic temperature compensation (ATC)
• Manual temperature compensation setting without the ATC probe, with
independent setting for calibration and process temperature
• Large dual display LCD for easy reading with clear multiple annunciators,
operational mode indicators and error indicators
•
Two switching contacts as set-point relays
•
Limit (on/off) control mode
• Separately adjustable high and low set-point hysteresis (dead bands) to
prevent chattering of relays around the set points
• 0 to 2000 seconds time delay adjustment on all relays – minimizes false
alarms
•
Backlight LCD display
