The Dryden Aqua DIN rail mounted single oxygen transmitter will accept an input directly from our Oxygen Probes.  If you want to display and alarm for both oxygen and temperature (PT100 sensors) then two transmitters will be required. The transmitter can then send the value back out as a voltage ( e.g. 0 to 10v) or analogue out-put, (0 to 20mamps, or 4 to 20mamps).  There are also two programmable relay out-puts and a display.

The transmitters are provided with a clip on front display which is used to program the transmitter for different functions. The display gives the raw data out-put from the oxygen probe.  It is useful to display the raw data, especially if you are using PLC based systems. The display can also be used to calibrated the unit to display the data as dissolved oxygen  ( units will be shown as mv).  This makes for a very low cost multi-channel dissolved oxygen monitor.

 

Programming of the transmitter as an Oxygen meter and Alarm / Control system
Electrical connections

Transmitter connections

  1. Check the mv out-put from the oxygen probe,  with the probe in air the reading will be approx 80mv +/- 30mv
  2. Connect the Dryden dissolved oxygen probe to terminals 42 ( blue wire from oxygen probe) and 44 ( brown wire from oxygen probe (red if a PT100 oxygen probe))
  3. Connect the power supply to 31 and 33.  The input power supply voltage is Universal, the transmitter will accept 20 to 240v ac or dc supply, 50 to 60 Hz.  Insure that the power supply is isolated while you make the electrical connections, especially if a high voltage is used to power up the equipment. Once the electrically connections are in place, and electrically safe, you may turn on the power to the transmitter

 

 

Programming

You will need to set up each transmitter to read oxygen levels as follows;

  1. Turn the power supply ON
  2. The display will flash SE.BR
  3. Press the OK button twice to display NO (Adv Set), press OK again followed by the UP arrow key until VOLT (In-type) is displayed. Press OK to accept.
  4. Use the UP arrow key to scroll through the Volt in ranges, select Volt 0 to 1 and press OK
  5. The unit will now ask you what units to display, press the down arrow key to select the unit type, select mV ( milli volts) and press OK
  6. Decimal point selection,  the unit will display 111.1, press OK to accept the default value.
  7. The display now reads DISP (lo)  The display low value is zero by default, press OK to accept  ( see addition note (a) below)  The Display high will be 100mv by default. Press the up arrow key until it reads 200mv, then press OK to accept.  The unit is now scaled between 0mv and 200mv. See note below about changing the units to display mg/l of Dissolved Oxygen, note (b) or %sat note (c)
  8. The relay out puts R1 & R2 can now be set, set relays in DISP mode,  if you have set the unit to display in mg/l, then the value DISPlayed for the relay set points will related the mg/l of dissolved oxygen or %sat.
  9. The action of the relays is displayed in the third line of the transmitter.  You can set the action of the relay on an increasing or decreasing value, you can set the hysetresis and the on off time in seconds. Once you have set the relays, your will then be asked to set the analogue out-put.
  10. Select the Out-put you want from the transmitter by pressing the UP arrow key. Normally it will be a CURR current analogue out-put between 0 and 20mV or 4 to 20mV. The transmitter also permits a voltage analogue out-put.  Press OK to accept the analogue out-put.

Calibration

  1. The unit now needs to be calibrated.  You will need an accurate calibration source which gives 10mv to 200mv.  However if you do not have an accurate mv calibration source,  you may use an accurate mV meter and measure the out-put from a Dryden Oxygen probe.  The mV out-put from the probe will be around 90mv with the probe suspended in air at a temperature of  20 deg C. Do not move or touch the probe during a calibration, keep out of direct sunlight, see note (b) for additional information.  Connect the probe the transmitter, and measure the mV across terminal 42 and 44. Press OK to show NO Adva Set and press the up arrow key to change to YES Adv Set then OK to accept.
  2. Press the up arrow key  to show Cal set-up and press OK
  3. The display shows No Cal lo, press OK. The display now show No Cal Hi, press the up arrow key to change to YES Cal Hi and then OK to accept.  Enter the mv value for the oxygen probe or the mg/l value for dissolved oxygen ( see note (b)., press OK to accept.
  4. No User Cal is now displayed, press the up arrow key to change to Yes User Cal and press OK to accept.  The unit will now display the value from the probe, displayed as mV. If you want the value to be displayed at mg/l dissolved oxygen go to Note (b) below, or for percentage saturation go to note (c) 

Notes

(a) If you press yes for DISP (low) or YES for Cal lo,  the transmitter will use the mv value of the source connected to the transmitter.  If an oxygen probe is connected then the value set at Low will become the same as the probe out-put which will be around 90mv.  This will not allow the transmitter to work. To calibrate to Low value, disconnect he oxygen probe and place a wire loop between inputs 42 & 44. On the transmitter go to Cal (low) select YES and press OK to calibrate the unit to 0mv input. Select No for Cal high value.  Remove the wire between 42 & 44 and start again with the calibration.

(b) To display Dissolved Oxygen as mg/l on the transmitter, set the Display Scale from 0 to 20 (mv) as opposed to 0 to 200 (mv). Next enter the Adv Set-up and go to Cal (Hi) and enter the dissolved oxygen value at the Oxygen probe.  You can obtain this value from the Tables by doing a standard calibration of our dissolved oxygen probe ( click hear for Calibration procedure), or you can use an accurate portable dissolved oxygen meter to measure the oxygen reading at the probe, and then simply enter this value in mg/l  into the transmitter. Please note that the transmitter will display the reading in the units specified, e.g mv,  however the value will equate with mg/l of oxygen.  Then select YES for use CAL

(c) In order to display the reading in percentage saturation %sat, please order %sat membranes for the probe. By default we will always supply mg/l membranes.  Set the Display Scale to 0 to 200 (mv). Next enter the Adv Set-up and go to Cal (Hi) and enter the dissolved oxygen value at the Oxygen probe.  If you are calibrating the probe in air, simply suspended the probe in air ( out of direct sunlight) for at least 30 minutes, you van then assume that this value is equal to 100% sat, then simply enter this value into the transmitter.  Alternatively you may suspended to probe in a small tank of strongly aerated water, again you are making the assumption that the water is 100% saturated with oxygen.

 

Programming of the transmitter as a Temperature meter and Alarm / Control system
Electrical connections

Please note that the transmitter will only accept one input, if you are using a pt100 oxygen probe and you wish to monitor and display both oxygen and temperature, you will require two transmitters per probe.
