PID Time Modulation: Relays 1-5
Application: Time Modulation applications where additional variable loading control is needed
like extremely variable bather loading.
Setup: User selects a relay & selects Special Control = PID Control
User sets Relay Period in seconds, as in Time Modulated control, minimum 60
(recommended), default= 120, maximum is 600 seconds.
User sets Kp Proportional factor for correction to deviation from setpoint.
User Sets Ki Integral factor for correction for loading.
User Sets Ki updated time for how often checks are made for loading correction.
User Sets Kd Differential factor for corrections due to quick sensor changes.
User Sets Kd updated time for how often checks are made for quick sensor changes
Operation: See PID Appendix for detailed setup explanation.
6. Sensors
6.1. Compensation
Analog Sensors A..C
(pH)
Temperature sensor C.
Defaulted as OFF
(see note below)
Applied to pH sensors.
Zero compensation at 7 pH.
Compensation adjusts sensor gain (slope)
+0.00467%/°C above 25°C & -0.0058%/°C below
25°C
pH thermal compensation can only be applied to
directly connected pH sensors and not to
4-20mA inputs which may represent pH.
Water meter F displays and
logs resulting volume.
User selected rate/minute
or rate/hour
Can be used to show turnover rate of main pool.
LSI and Ryznar’s indices Used on Virtual input D
Note: pH thermal compensation is seldom used in pools and spas since the pH is typically
between 7 & 8 and the temperature fairly stable, so the effect of thermal compensation is limited to
the third decimal place.
6.2. Digital Input Sensor F
Switching from Contact Set to Water Meter clears the log on the switched input.
Contact Head
[not typical in
Aquatic
applications]
User set volume/contact
Contact Head compensation turns ON software de-
bouncing. Volume counts on contact closure.
Contact opening ignored. Not normally used in Pools
and Spas.
Paddlewheel
User set ‘K’ factor, pulses/unit
volume
Counts pulse on falling edge, 400Hz max.
Ignores rising edge. Typical pool and spa circulation
flow meter sensors. (must be 12VDC powered
square wave sensors)
