II. Installation
Mounting Instructions Select a mounting location that provides the operator easy access to the unit and a clear view of the controls through the cover of the controller. The location should be convenient for grounded electrical connections, the needed sample line plumbing, and should be on a stable vertical surface.
Electrical Wiring The MegaTron XSi monitor has an internal regulated fused power supply that will operate off of 90 to 250 VAC at 47 to 63 Hz on the incoming wiring. Each output relay is individually protected with a replaceable fuse. Relay outputs will equal incoming line voltage.
! CAUTION !
1. There are live circuits inside the controller even when the power switch on the front panel is in the OFF position. Never open the front panel without first disconnecting power from the outlet. Prewired controllers are supplied with an 8 foot, 18 AWG power cord with USA style plug. A #1 Phillips driver is required to open the front panel.
2. Low voltage signal wires (mA, digital input, water meter, etc.) should never be run in conduit with high voltage (like 115VAC) wires.
3. Never attempt to land connections to the controller without first disconnecting power from the outlet.
4. Do not block access to disconnect power during mounting and installation.
5. The controller should be connected to its own isolated circuit breaker, and for best results, the ground should be a true earth ground, not shared. Any attempt to bypass the grounding will compromise the safety of users and property.
6. The electrical installation of the controller must be performed by trained personnel only and conform to all applicable National, State and Local codes.
7. Operation of this product in a manner not specified by the manufacturer may result in damage to equipment or persons.
8. Avoid mounting in locations that expose the controller to direct sunlight, vapors, vibration, liquid spills or extreme temperatures; less than 0°F (-17.8°C) or greater than 120°F (50°C). EMI(electromagnetic interference) from radio transmissions and electric motors can also cause damage or interference and should be avoided.
NOTES: 1. Liquid tight fittings and some labeled signal leads are provided for all signal (low voltage)
connections for both pre-wired and conduit units. 2. Units should be ordered with the appropriate option to provide powered relays designed for the
incoming/outgoing power.
Pre-Wired Pre-wired units are supplied with a 16 AWG cable(s) with 3-wire grounded USA 115 volt plug for incoming power and 3-wire grounded receptacle cords for all control relay outputs also 16 AWG.
Conduit Conduit units are predrilled at the factory and supplied with conduit knockouts for easy hard wiring to supplied detachable connectors on the relay card(s) located in the lower section of the controller. Remove the screws of the lower panel for access.
NOTES: 1. Do not drill holes in upper section of enclosure. 2. All relays provide a N.O. and N.C. output.
4

3. The control function that activates each relay output is pre-configured at the factory based on the options selected. To change relay activation, see on page 13.
4. Refer to label inside lower panel cover for specific relay board configuration supplied. 5. Relays configured as "dry contact" should only have D.C. voltage ran through them. The GND
connection point replaces the NEU when configured for dry contact. (Example: Use GND and N.O. for a normally open dry contact relay output.)
! WARNING: If jumpers are not configured for dry contact, line voltage will be supplied.

4-20mA Output Card Wiring
A. Isolated Configuration For isolated 4-20mA outputs an external power source for the loop must be supplied. JP4 and JP5 on the board must be jumpered for isolated with an external power source supplied to the external VDC input. The external power source must not exceed 24 volts DC.
B. Non-isolated Configuration For non-isolated 4-20mA outputs the controller will supply the power for the loop. JP4 and JP5 must be jumpered for non-isolated and no connections are made to the external VDC points.
NOTE: The power for the mA output loop is always provided by the controller with either isolated or nonisolated configuration.
4-20mA Input Card Wiring
The 4-20mA input card requires that the external device sending the 4-20mA input signal(s) supply the power for the loop. The external power source must not exceed 24 volts DC.
Note: All eight mA input cards and newer four input cards provide -12 VDC on the V- connections and +12 on the V+ when the card is not configured for isolated with an external VDC supplied. Older four input only cards and all four input & four output cards do not have -12 on the V- but have just a ground connection instead.

2. Set Points

The same basic format is used for defining each available analog mA control parameters.

>SYSTEM 1 SET POINTS<
mA OUT mA IN
AUX INPUTS

SET POINTS - For setting the relay set points for the available analog readings.

NOTE: In the Setpoint pop-up screen the direction (Rising or Falling) of the setpoint can also be set. Rising setpoints will activate the control relay when the particular reading rises above the setpoint and will stay activated until the reading comes down by the amount of the differential. If set for Falling the relay is activated when the probe reading falls below the setpoint and stays on until the probe reading comes back up by the amount of the differential.

2.1 Set Point Options

>mA INPUT 1 SETPOINT<

SET POINT DIFFERENTIAL HIGH ALARM LOW ALARM LIMIT TIME

DISABLER

SET POINT - What reading turns the relay on DIFFERENTIAL - Amount reading changes by before the relay is turned off HIGH ALARM - What reading generates a High alarm. LOW ALARM - What reading generates a Low alarm. LIMIT TIMER - What amount of continuous control will generate a time alarm notice. The relay is locked-out by this alarm. DISABLER - One of the digital inputs can be selected to prevent alarming.

Note: Each alarm value can also be set-up to be displayed or not on the front screen as well as remotely notified or not if connected to the Web Advantage server.

2.2 Aux Inputs

Auxiliary inputs are the generic digital input status indicators from external dry contacts. From these menus the user can set if they want each of the status alarms Displayed, Remote Notification, both or none.

>SYSTEM 1 DIGITAL INPUTS ALARM<

ALARM NOTIFICATION DIGITAL 1 = DISPLAY

DIGITAL 1 DIGITAL 2 DIGITAL 3 DIGITAL 4 DIGITAL 5

Note: Digital inputs can have the direction selected between OPEN or CLOSED as the alarm polarity. If set for CLOSED, the input will be in alarm when it sees a closed contact.

2.3 4-20mA Out

Units with a 4-20mA output option will have a menu for setting up the 4-20mA output. The 4mA and 20mA

values can be defined by giving the output proportioning capability. i.e. 4mA = a pH of 6.0 and 20mA = a pH

of 8.0.

>OUT 1 SETUP<

SIGNAL SOURCE - Select which mA reading the mA will use as its reading source.

SIGNAL SOURCE 4mA VALUE 20mA VALUE

4 mA VALUE - What the 4mA signal equals 20mA VALUE - What the 20mA signal equals on the assigned signal sources scale.

3. 4-20mA Output Calibration
>CURRENT LOOP CALIBRATION< OUTPUT 1 OUTPUT 2
>mA OUTPUT 1 CALIBRATION< HIGH 4030 LOW 800
>mA OUTPUT 1 CALIBRATION< OUTPUT 1 CAL HIGH 4000 Use Up/Down arrows to change Use Enter to save value

4-20mA outputs can be calibrated to ensure that the output generated by the controller and received by the external device match. With a volt meter connected across the out and return wires (see page 7) of the 4-20mA output channel to be calibrated go into the output's Low or High calibration.
The number displayed in the Calibration dialog box can range from 0-4095 with 800 equal to 0 mA output and 4030 equal to 20 mA. This number range of 0-4095 is the raw digital to analog (D/A) values and is strictly used for a reference. The D/A numbers you get will vary based on your installation conditions.
While in the High or Low calibration pop-up screen use the up and down arrows to change the output value being read with the volt meter. Adjust the High value for the 20-mA reading and the Low value for the 4 mA value.

3.1 4-20mA Input Calibration

4-20mA inputs can be calibrated to ensure that the input seen by the controller from the external device match. It also allows for setting the 4-20mA input into a number range that relates to the value being read.

>CURRENT LOOP CALIBRATION<
INPUT 1 INPUT 2

Select the Input to be calibrated.

>mA INPUT 1 CALIBRATION<

20mA 4mA MAX LOW OFFSET

5500 1100
200 0
FACTORY DEF.

Firmware version KA.16.03 and up have logic that suspends any control logic if the mA received is 50% below the stored 4mA value. A # will be placed in the RUN screen for any mA value in this invalid state.

The 20mA and 4mA values are where the controller's raw analog to digital value is adjusted to match a 20mA (full scale) and 4mA (bottom of scale) signal from the external device inputting the 4-20mA input. The external device must be connected to the controller and showing either full scale or bottom of scale when calibrating each. The number shown along with either the 20mA or 4mA while calibrating is the raw A/D value and is only a reference. A 20mA input should be around 5500 and 4mA around 1100. If the A/D numbers are not in this range, check input device.
The MAX and LOW calibration inputs are for telling the controller what to display for a 20mA input and a 4mA input. For example, if the input is a drum level sensor monitoring a 55-gallon drum the value for MAX should be 55 and LOW should be 0. The controller then displays a number automatically ranging between 55 and 0 based on the input value. The units of measure (gallons for example) is set in the Customize menu from the Home page.
OFFSET - Changes the current displayed value of the 4-20mA input reading to allow for a manual 1pt calibration of the displayed value.
FACTORY DEFAULT - If the 20mA or 4mA calibration has been incorrectly set (not at 4 or 20) this will reset the settings back to a factory value for 4 and 20.

4. Customize

This menu allows the user to define the on-screen name of the unit plus the name of each system and relay. The user can also setup the Notepad for each system and 4-20mA Input's name and unit of measurement.

VERIFY ALARM - If a flow meter is linked to a control relay the controller will give an alarm if it does not receive a contact or pulse from the aux meter within the amount of time defined or if it gets a contact when the relay is not on.

RELAY LINK - The relay link informs the particular aux meter input is relevant to the control function that the selected relay is being driven by. For example, if the aux flow meter is a metering pump's FloTracker then it should be linked to the relay that is driven by the feed timer that pump will be controlled by. If the aux meter is going to be linked to a water meter in a bleed of line, then it should be linked to the relay that is controlling the bleed off valve.

VOLUME ALARM - If FloTracker has been selected as the Tracking method, an alarm will occur when the defined VOLUME USED has passed through the flow device.

Note: If Rate and Volume tracking has been selected an alarm will occur if the defined MAX VOLUME amount is measured within the defined TIME CYCLE which can be a 12-or-24-hour period.
RESET VOLUME - Resets the Volume Alarm totalizer.
METER LINK This selection only shows if the tracking method is Rate and Volume and tells the auxiliary flowmeter input to get its signals from one of the system water meters already wired to the controller's water meter inputs. If this is selected no wiring to the auxiliary input is required and the PULSE VALUE and UNITS settings are auto populated from the particular water meter's settings.

STATUS - Allows for viewing accumulated relay ON times, temporary forcing relays ON or OFF or seeing which relay is on. RESET - Allows the accumulated run time of a particular relay to be reset to zero. FORCE - Allows a relay to be manually forced ON for a single event from 0-99 minutes. When the event is over the relay goes back to its normal automatic
control.
