Introduction.
The MAX5 is a multiple digital controller system. It reads and controls up to 5 channels that can be programmed to
control* pH - ORP - Chlorine - Turbidity - Temperature - Combined Chlorine (see Chlorine function for main options) -
Total Chlorine control (see Chlorine function for main options) - Conductivity - Dissolved Oxygen. It features 6 setpoint
outputs, 6 proportional pump outputs, 6 mAoutputs,1 cleaning probe output and 5 level tank inputs. Three way setpoint
outputs program mode: on/off - PID - PWM. MAX5 can be connected to a PC for remote controlling / programming using
a standard USB port, RS485 connection, GSM or GPRS modem, ETHERNET.
Working ranges are:
pH : from 0 to 14pH
ORP: from 0 to 1000mv
Chlorine: from 0 to 10 mg/l
Turbidity: from 0 to 9999 NTU
Temperature: from 0 to 200 °C
Conductivity: from 0 to 300.0 mS
Dissolved Oxygen: from 0 to 20 mg/l
All information are provided through a widescreen LCD display (240x64). Using a revolutionary wheel control the instru-
mentcanbe easilyprogrammed.MAX5is housedintoan IP65 plasticbox.Measures are:L325xH235 xD125(including
wheel and connectors).
The wheel.
Located in the upper right side of MAX5 there is a wheel that must be used to control the instrument. Wheel can be
rotated in both directions to scroll over the menus and / or pressed to conrm highlighted selection / value.
NOTE: Once changes are made press “OK” to save and exit from submenu. Press “ESC” to exit without saving.
Into main menu rotate the wheel to cycle-loop through all options.
Clockwise: setpoint --> Calibration --> Option --> Manual -->Exit
or Counterclockwise.
Press wheel to move on submenu for selected option.

Passcode.
From main screen rotate wheel until to highlight then press wheel.
Note: This is a passcode protected area. For this reason every time this menu is reached, the instrument will ask for a
passcode as shown.
If this is a “rst time visit” the default passcode is “0000” (both Administrator and User).
Just press four times the wheel. Otherwise rotate wheel to move through digits and press wheel to choose.
Rotate wheel to ESC and press wheel to go back to main screen without accessing setup menu.
Setup.
From main screen rotate wheel until to highlight then press wheel. Enter passcode as described in previous para-
graph.
Rotate wheel to scroll through all options and press wheel to enter into menu of selected option.
Setpoint option. Use this menu to dene instrument operating mode, output conguration, alarm condition, mA outputs.
Calibration option. Use this menu to calibrate main instrument readings (pH, ORP Chlorine, Turbidity and, Temperature ).
Option. Use this menu for TAU setup, delay output, ow detect, clock setup, probe clean, reset, RS485 setup, alarm setup,
log setup, passcode setup.

Setpoint.
From setup menu (g.3) rotate wheel to highlight “Setpoint” then press wheel. Again rotate wheel until to reach desired
measure between pH - Cl2- mV - NTU - Temperature. Customized version includes: potentiostat (mg/l Cl2) and Fluorine (F)
Once into “measure submenu”*, is possible to edit (all or some) the following setpoint parameters:
[Da] “setpoint output A” that can be congured as on/off, PWM or PID and settable as 1 to 6 channel
[Db] “setpoint output B” that can be congured as on/off, PWM or PID and settable as 1 to 6 channel
[Pa] “proportional pump output A” and settable as 1 to 6 channel
[Pb] “proportional pump output B” and settable as 1 to 6 channel
[mA] “mA output” settable as 1 to 6 channel
[Aa] “general alarm A” for “out of limits” reading parameters
[Ab] “general alarm B” for “out of limits” reading parameters
[Ad] “general alarm” for maximum dosing time
[Ar] “general alarm” for damaged probe (same reading after a set time)
Total amount of output-channels available is 6. This number decreases every time a channel is assigned to a specic
function during setup. Once there are no more channels available the instrument will read only probe’s value. For
temperature channel is available ON/OFF mode only during setpoint setup.
Da and Db.
Using Da and / or Db is possible to control the status of “setpoint outputs” and “level outputs” based on some rules.
Refer to “power connections” and “I/O connections” blocks at page 4 and 5 to locate these outputs on mainboard.
Once that Da or Db function is enabled (move wheel over “disable” , press, rotate to “enable”, press again to exit) the
main parameters are MODE (ON/OFF - PWM - PID), RL, LEV and STOP.

Da and Db WORKING MODES.
ON/OFF Mode.
On/Off mode set the instrument to operate using two set values that enable or disable the related setpoint output.
Parameters to set for this mode are:
ON: Activate RLand LEV on moving towards the unit value (for example: pH)
OFF: Disable RLand LEV on moving towards the unit value (for example: pH)
IN:assign “input” number then edit the name by moving wheel. If the “input” number is already used then it will not be
shown. Choose “X” instead of a number to disable input.
RL:assign “relay” number then edit the name by moving wheel. If the “relay” number is already used then it will not be
shown. Choose “X” instead of a number to disable relay.
STOP: (“ON”: when product into tank is ending, then the related output will be off and an alarm condition will pop-up.
“OFF”: when product into tank is ending, then the related output will continue to stay on and an alarm condition will pop-up.)
MSG: when agged an SMS or EMAIL alarm message will be sent to destination edited in GSM menu.
ON/OFF mode while dosing ALKALI
Set pH value at 6.90 ON and 7.00 OFF.
Instrument will leave related output active until reading value will increase up to 7.00pH.
At 7.00pH the related output will be disabled until reading value will decrease under 6.90pH.
ON/OFF mode while dosing ACID
Set pH value at 7.00 OFF and 7.10 ON.
Instrument will leave related output active until reading value will decrease up to 7.00pH
At 7.00pH the related output will be disabled until reading value will increase up to 7.10pH.

PWM Mode.
Pulse-width modulation (PWM) of a signal or power source involves the modulation of its duty cycle, to either convey
information over a communications channel or control the amount of power sent to a load.
This mode works over a settable (0 to 100 seconds) time to switch on or off selected output.
Timeresolution is 5seconds, 5steps. During this time if reading value will move towards a set value (on or off) the PWM
will operate the output on timered basis. Reaching the set value the PWM will permanently leave on or off the output.
Parameters to set for this mode are:
Unit Value + %: (time activity towards set value. 0% means 0 seconds. 100% means 100 seconds.)
IN:assign “input” number then edit the name by moving wheel. If the “input” number is already used then it will not be
shown. Choose “X” instead of a number to disable input.
RL:assign “relay” number then edit the name by moving wheel. If the “relay” number is already used then it will not be
shown. Choose “X” instead of a number to disable relay.
STOP: (“ON”: when product into tank is ending, then the related output will be off and an alarm condition will pop-up.
“OFF”: when product into tank is ending, then the related output will continue to stay on and an alarm condition will pop-up.)
MSG: when agged an SMS or EMAIL alarm message will be sent to destination edited in GSM menu.
For example: set rst pH value at 10.00 = 100% and second pH value at 5.0 = 0%.
For reading values ≥ to 10.00 the output will be permanently ON.
For reading values ≤ 5.0 the output will be permanently OFF.
For reading value of 9.50 the output will be OFF for 10 seconds, ON for 90 seconds.
If reading value decreases to 8.00 then the output will be OFF for 20 seconds, ON for 80 seconds.
Notes: for values within 1% and 5% MAX5 will assume 5% as usable value.
for values within 95% and 99% MAX5 will assume 95% as usable value.
