Section A: Mounting the BECSys5 Controller A 1: Mounting the Controller

The BECSys5 Controller and flow cell are mounted separately. The BECSys5 enclosure should be mounted to the wall with four anchor bolts. To mount the BECSys5 properly, please use the included mounting template and hardware. Drill the holes for the anchors using a 3/16 drill bit. Install the anchors in the wall. Remove the lid from the unit and place the included screws in the four corners of the box. Attach the screws into the anchors. The BECSys5 and flow cell should be mounted in a location that is free from chemical fumes and excessive heat, isolated from electrical interference, and near a power source protected by a ground fault interrupter. The BECSys5 has a NEMA4 weather resistant enclosure but should still be protected if mounted outdoors.
A 4: Plumbing the Sample Stream
Install the sample stream; -inch tubing is recommended for sample stream pickup and return. Make sure that you tap the supply off the discharge side of the recirculation pump, upstream of the chemical injection points. The sample should be filtered water. Connect the sample stream pickup line to the flow cell and run the sample stream return line from the flow cell to the suction side of the main recirculation pump. Install -inch ball valves to allow isolation of the sample lines.
A 2: Wrapping the Fittings
A 3: Assembling the Flow cell
If you are assembling a flow cell, first open the bag of flow cell fittings and wrap each fitting two times around clockwise with Teflon tape. Assemble the flow cell as shown below:
When installing the pH or ORP sensor, remove the wetting cap, then remove any existing Teflon tape from the sensor threads. Re-wrap the threads with new Teflon tape. Rinse the sensor tip in de-ionized water and install as shown. Warning: These sensors should be handtightened only. Tools are not necessary for installing the pH or ORP sensor and will damage the sensor housing.
Page 5
Rev: H10 A 6.1: ORP and pH Sensor The pH and ORP sensors are shipped with a wetting cap covering the measuring end. This cap contains a solution of pH 4 buffer saturated with potassium chloride (KCl). Gently remove the wetting cap by unscrewing the sensor and sliding the cap off of the sensor body. It is a good idea to save the wetting cap and the box that the sensor came in for future long-term storage. During shipping, the air space inside the pH glass may have moved into the bulb. Grasp the sensor near the cable end and gently swing it through an arc to force the internal electrolyte into the pH bulb. Rinse the measuring ends of potentiometric sensors with de-ionized or distilled water before installation into a flow cell. A 6.2: Free Chlorine Sensor The Free Chlorine Sensor is supplied with a yellow protective cap. This cap has an inner sponge that is used to keep the sensor membrane hydrated. This cap should be saved for long-term storage. The sensor can remain in the flow cell for shortterm interruptions in measurement. To prevent membrane dehydration, the flow cell must not drain off. If this is not ensured, then remove the sensor from the flow cell and slide the yellow protective cap, moistened at the inner sponge, onto the measuring end of the sensor. The voltage applied by the controller to the Free Chlorine Sensor polarizes the surface of the gold cathode. The polarization period must elapse before calibration is performed based on the results acquired through the use of a DPD test kit. See Section F - 2.3 for filling the electrolyte.
A 5: Free Chlorine Sensor Flow Cell

Caution: Amperometric chlorine sensors require the use of a temperature sensor and a properly calibrated pH sensor. Refer to the instruction pamphlet included with the sensor at the time of installation. The CCS140 Free Chlorine Sensor is mounted in a flow cell which includes a flow and psi restrictor assembly as shown below:
The CCS140 Free Chlorine Sensor requires a constant flow rate and a constant pressure. This helps ensure that the ppm level will remain stable. Warning: Negative pressure will damage the sensor membrane. Here is the recommended method for plumbing the free chlorine sensor flow cell:
A 6: Sensor preparations
Admission pressure must be above the regulated pressure (15 psi is the limit on the sensor). Run the sample stream through a flow restrictor valve (to maintain flow rate, minimum flow rate requirement is 8 gph). Take the stream through the flow cell. Discharge the sample stream to a free outlet (for example into a surge tank).
A 7: Opening the Sample Stream Valve
NOTE: As soon as you install the sensors, immediately move on to the next step to ensure that they always stay wet.
Open the sample stream valve and check for leaks. Note the reading on the compound pressure gauge and make sure that it shows a positive and steady pressure. The sample stream should be about 2-20 psi at the flow cell. If this is not the case, then adjust the valves or relocate the point at which the sample stream is connected to the recirculation system. Negative pressure will destroy the sensors. Once you have a positive and steady pressure, open the wet test valve and make sure that it generates a vigorous stream.

A 8: Plugging in the Sensors
Remove the protective covers from the BNCs. Plug the pH sensor into the coded BNC jack and the ORP sensor into the coded BNC jack on the bottom of the BECSys5 controller by twisting them a quarter of a turn. Allow the sensors to rinse in the sample water while you do the wiring (Section B).

Section B: Wiring the BECSys5 Controller B 2: Removing the safety shield

To remove the shield, remove the four screws using a Philips screwdriver. Gently lift the cover straight up and set it to the side.
B 1: Opening The Cover
Remove the cover by loosening the four screws at the corners with a screwdriver as shown. NOTE: The screws are captive and do not need to be totally removed, but only loosened. Once the screws are loosened, carefully lift the top cover off of the unit. The cover will still be connected to the base by the ribbon cable. Set the moisture absorbent packet found inside aside for now.
B 3: Supplied Cords
Warning: Make sure power is disconnected while you wire the unit You may order your controller with a male power cord and two female power cords (Only for 115V applications). Plug the male AC Cord into a GFCI outlet and connect the chemical feeders to the female power cords. The two female power cords will have the following warning tags. Be sure to connect the correct female power cord to the correct chemical feeder.
We recommend that you disconnect the ribbon cable by spreading the two holders at the end of the cable attached to the cover as shown, unplug the cable and remove the cover. NOTE: Be sure to store the cover in a safe, dry place while you wire the unit.

Rev: H10 B 5.1: Externally Powered Wiring If you wish to use the C (Common) to power a relay (commonly used to interlock feeds with the recirculation pump), you will need to move the black hat jumpers located to the left of each of the solid state relays to their upper position using a pair of long nosed needle nose pliers (shown left). Be careful not to put pressure on the relays as you are slipping between them as you may damage their connections to the board.
B 4: Conduit Connect
Warning: Make sure power is disconnected while you wire the unit You may instead order the controller for conduit connection (For 115V or 230V applications). TB4 is for the Line power coming into the unit.
We recommend using a minimum of 14 gauge stranded wire for the line power. Use of solid wire is strongly discouraged. The black wire goes to L (Line) on the upper level, the white wire to N (Neutral), and the ground wire to the terminal marked Earth Ground. NOTE: The black and white wires are colored brown and blue outside North America. Warning: Unless specified at time of order, controllers are configured for 110VAC and will not work on 220VAC. Hooking up to 220VAC will damage the controller and is not covered under warranty.

B 5: Relay Wiring
Warning: Make sure power is disconnected while you wire the unit The BECSys5 has four solid-state relays. From the Factory, the controller is configured to use Relay 1 for the pH Feed and Relay 2 for the ORP/Cl/Br Feed. The rest of the relays are unassigned. Each relay can be powered from either the L (Line) terminal that the controller itself is powered from, or from the common terminals. Relay 1 and 2 share a common (labeled C1 C2), Relays 3 and 4 have their own common labeled C3 and C4 respectfully. As shipped from the factory, all four relays are configured for Line power.
Note: The black and white wires are colored brown and blue outside North America.

B 6: Relay Expansion Module Wiring
Your controller may have been ordered with one or more Relay Expansion Modules (BECSysMRX or BECSysSRX). Up to three Relay Expansion Modules may be connected to one controller. These are connected to the RS485 terminal inside the BECSys5.
Recommended wire: 22 gauge shielded twisted pair (1 pair: 2 conductors + shield). For outdoor use, use NEC type PLTC. For indoor use, use NEC type CMG general, CMR riser (through floors), or CMP plenum as required by the local wiring code. The Relay Expansion Modules have a second RS485 connector to allow daisy chaining of units. It doesnt matter which connector you use whichever is easiest. For each unit, connect A to A, B to B, and Shield to Shield. B 6.1: Setting Dip Switches Located on the left hand side of the Relay Expansion Module are two dipswitch banks. One sets the Controller ID, the other sets the Relay Box ID. The Controller ID should always be set to 1 turn on switch 1 of the CntrID bank. Each Relay Expansion Module should have a different Relay Box ID set by the RlyBoxID bank. The IDs can be from 1 to 3 turn on the corresponding dipswitch to set the ID.
Note: The black and white wires are colored brown and blue outside North America. B 5.5.2: Externally Powered Move the hat jumper to the upper position. Connect the power supply to the C4 terminal. The load should be connected to the R4 position. If Earth and Neutral are involved in this circuit, these can be wired into any of the unused N (Neutral) positions, and Earth Ground positions.

Rev: H10 B 7.2: Reed Flow Switch
B 7: Flow Switch Wiring
A flow switch must be used in the operation of a BECSys5 Controller
A paddlewheel flow switch or reed flow switch must be incorporated into the flow cell to disable chemical feed in the event of loss of flow to the flow cell. Warning: NEVER BYPASS FLOW SWITCH CONNECTIONS The Flow Switch is a critical safety device which prevents uncontrolled chemical feed. Uncontrolled feeding of chemicals can result in injury or death. Warning: Failure to incorporate a Flow Switch and Flow cell into the sample stream of your BECSys chemical controller can result in injury or death to swimmers in or around the pool if the recirculation pump should fail or shut down. B 7.1: Paddlewheel Flow Switch The reed flow switch is a (2) two-wire switch. Connect the black wire to the terminal labeled IN, and the red wire to the terminal labeled + 12. NOTE: Unlike the paddlewheel flow switch, the reed flow switch is a directional switch. Make sure it is installed with the flow arrow in the proper direction. No check valve is required with the reed flow switch.
B 8: Amperometric Probe Wiring
Connect the black wire of the paddlewheel/rotary flow switch to the terminal marked ground, the white wire to the terminal labeled IN, and the red wire to the terminal labeled + 12. The green flow light on the flow switch will light whenever flow is present. Warning: A check valve is must be installed with the paddlewheel flow switch to prevent backflow when the system is shut down. If a check valve is not installed, backflow could give the controller a false reading of flow and continue to pump chemicals into the pool.
Connect the red "A" wire to the A terminal, the "K" white tip with transparent wire to the K terminal, and the thick unlabeled wire to the ground terminal. NOTE: This probe requires a minimum flow velocity of 15 cm/s against its membrane. If the default calibration is off more than 0.3 ppm, the flow rate may be too low. Contact the factory for assistance.
B 9: Temperature Sensor Wiring
Connect the temperature probe to the Temp terminals. The temperature probe is non-polarized, wire orientation does not matter.

Rev: H10 B 12.1: BECSysLS
B 12: 4-20mA and Digital Input Wiring
The standard BECSys5 input board comes with four 4-20mA/digital inputs (outlined in red) labeled pH Inv, Cl Inv, CH3, and CH4. Each input has a + and terminal and be configured as either a 4-20mA input or a digital input by setting the corresponding dipswitch for that channel (outlined in blue). Dip 1 (the left most switch) sets the pH Inv labeled input, dip 2 sets the Cl Inv labeled input, and so on. The input is a 4-20mA input when the switch is up, and a digital input when the switch is down.
A BECSysLS may be used to monitor the following liquid levels: pH Inventory Cl/Br Inventory Water level (Surge/Balance pit/tank) The BECSysLS is a 4-20mA input and requires the Loop Power Supply Board. Connect this sensor to the selected 4-20mA/digital input on the BECSys5 as follows: You may need to re-assign an input to one of the physical 4-20mA/digital inputs in the firmware. See Re-assignable Inputs in section C for more information. Each input can be configured as either a 4-20mA input or a digital input by setting the corresponding dipswitch for that channel. The input is a 4-20mA input when the switch is up, and a digital input when the switch is down. Input
pH Inv Cl Inv CH3 CH4
Type 4-20mA/digital 4-20mA/digital 4-20mA/digital 4-20mA/digital
Dip Dip 1 Dip 2 Dip 3 Dip 4
Make sure you configure the input for 4-20mA by switching the inputs dip switch to the upper position.
The following sections describe how to wire each device to an input without specifying which input to wire too, but lists the input the controller defaults to using if it has one. In the case where an input function has no default input, it is up to the installer to choose one of the unused inputs to wire to, then program the controller to use that physical input for that input function (MenuInputsReassign Inputs). If you connect the device to the pre-labeled input on the BECSys5, you will not need to re-assign inputs.

Installation and Technical Manual B 12.2: Floats Floats may be used to trigger the following: Low pH Inventory Alarm Low Cl/Br Inventory Alarm Low Surge pit Alarm Connect the float to one of the 4-20mA/digital or digital only input on the controller. The float is non polarized (wire orientation does not matter). Simply connect one wire to the inputs + terminal and the other wire to the inputs terminal. Make sure you configure the input as a digital input by switching the inputs dip switch to the down position. B 12.3: Turbidity sensor The Turbidity sensor is a 4-20mA self powered device and does not require the use of the loop power supply board. Connect this to an available 4-20mA input as follows: Connect the turbidity sensors positive wire to the inputs + terminal, and the turbidity sensors negative wire to the inputs terminal. Make sure you configure the input for 4-20mA by switching the inputs dip switch to the upper position.
Rev: H10 B 12.4: Pressure Transducer The pressure transducer is a 4-20mA device that requires the loop power supply board. Pressure transducers can be used to monitor: Filter Influent Pressure Filter Effluent Pressure Pump Effluent Pressure Wire the transducer to an available 4-20mA/digital input on the controller as follows: The transducers black wire does not get connected and should be cut off Use the wire you cut off or another wire to jumper the loop power supply boards negative terminal to the negative terminal on the controllers 4-20mA input. Connect the red wire to the positive position on the loop power supply board. Connect the white wire to the positive terminal on the controllers 4-20mA input. Make sure you configure input to 4-20mA by switching the inputs dip switch to the upper position.

Rev: H10 B 12.7: Proximity Switches Proximity switches require the loop power supply board and the proximity level interface box (BECS PN: 1210254). Proximity switches are mounted on a sight glass and may be used to trigger the following: Autofill Feed Start/End (single point control) Autofill Feed Start (dual sensors) Autofill Feed End (dual sensor) Low Surge pit Alarm Do not wire the proximity switch directly to the controller. The proximity switch must be connected to the proximity level interface box which is what gets wired to the controller. The proximity switch comes with a connector on the end of its cable and connects to the mating connector on the proximity level interface box. Connect the proximity switch interface box to one of the available 4-20mA/digital inputs on the controller as follows: Connect the white wire to the positive terminal on the loop power supply board. Connect the black wire to the positive terminal on the controllers 4-20mA input. Connect the green wire to the negative terminal on the controllers 4-20mA input. Jumper the negative terminal on the controllers 4-20mA input to the negative terminal on the loop power supply board. Make sure you configure input to digital input by switching the inputs dip switch to the lower position.

B 14: BECSysRPM (Remote Probe Module)
Your controller may have been ordered with a BECSys Remote Probe Module Interface Board. Using this, you may connect to a BECSys Remote Probe Module (BECSysRPM). The BECSysRPM provides a method of extending the probe signal. B 14.1: Wiring the BECSysRPM: Remove the cover of the BECSysRPM by loosening the four screws at the corners with a screwdriver. Note: The screws are captive and do not need to be totally removed, but only loosened. Once the cover has been removed, you will see two sets of connectors. The left bank of connectors provides connection between the BECSysRPM and the BECSys5. The right bank of connectors provides connection for the Flow Switch and Temperature Sensor.
Rev: H10 Wiring a Reed Flow Switch: The reed flow switch is a two wire switch. Connect the black wire to the terminal labeled FLOW and the red wire to the terminal labeled +12V. NOTE: Unlike the paddlewheel flow switch, the reed flow switch is a directional switch. Make sure it is installed with the flow arrow in the proper direction. No check valve is required with the reed flow switch. Connecting the Probes: Remove the protective covers from the BNCs. Plug the pH sensor into the coded BNC jack and the ORP sensor into the coded BNC jack on the bottom of the BECSysRPM by twisting them a quarter of a turn. B 14.2: Wiring to the BECSys5: There are a total of seven connections that must be made between the BECSys5 and the BECSysRPM (24 gauge wire is acceptable to use). Power: Power is provided to the BECSysRPM from the BECSys Remote Probe Module Interface Board. Connect the terminal labeled +12V on the BECSysRPM Interface Board to the terminal marked +12V on the BECSysRPM (left bank of connectors). Connect the terminal labeled GND on the BECSysRPM Interface Board to the terminal marked GND on the BECSysRPM (left bank of connectors). Probe Signal: From the BECSysRPM Interface Board connect the terminal labeled Out(1) to Out(1) on the BECSysRPM. Connect Out(2) to Out(2) on the BECSysRPM. Flow: On the BECSys5 CPU board, connect a wire to IN on the Flow Switch Input. Connect the other end to the terminal labeled FLOW on the BECSysRPM. The +12V and GND on the BECSys5 Flow Switch Input are not used. Temperature: From the BECSys5 Input Board, connect two wires to the Temp input. Connect the other end of these two wires to the terminal labeled RTD-OUT + and RTD-OUT . The temperature input is not polarized, wire orientation does not matter.
Wiring the Temperature Sensor: Connect the Temperature Sensor to the RTD-IN + and RTDIN connectors on the right bank. The Temperature Sensor is non-polarized, wire orientation does not matter. Wiring a Paddlewheel Flow Switch: Connect the black wire of the paddlewheel/rotary flow switch to the terminal labeled GND, the white wire to the terminal labeled Flow, and the red wire to the terminal labeled +12V. The green flow light on the flow switch will light whenever flow is present. Warning: A check valve is must be installed with the paddlewheel flow switch to prevent backflow when the system is shut down. If a check valve is not installed, backflow could give the controller a false reading of flow and continue to pump chemicals into the pool.

You can adjust the display contrast by holding down either the up or down arrow keys for two seconds, then after the controller beeps three times, use the up and down keys to adjust the contrast.
C 2: Security Settings
C 2.1: Access Codes and levels The BECSys5 controller ships from the factory with all access codes disabled. The controller will not ask you for an access code when you press the menu or other quick buttons until you enable and set the Rep access code and at least one Operator access code. Setting Manager access codes is optional. If the Rep access code is disabled, you are automatically given rep access without the controller prompting you for an access code. This is true even if you set an Operator and/or Manager access codes. Warning: It is strongly recommended to set a Rep Access Code. By not setting a Rep Access Code, anyone can access Rep Menus. To view who is currently logged on, press the lock screen button while in any menu.
Setting just the rep access code will result in the default access level being Manager, and the controller will still not prompt you to enter in an access code when you press the Menu or other face panel buttons. However, any items exclusive to rep access will not be shown unless you log on manually via the Logon selection in the main menu. C 2.2: Setting Access Codes To set an access code, press the menu button, then: Select System Config Choose User Setup Then select the access level you want to set an access code for. To set Operator 1's access code, you would select Oper. Access Codes, then select Operator 1.
The Main Menu will also display who is logged on along with the version of firmware. You do not need to set all the access codes for each level if you do not wish to. Also, a disabled access code is not equivalent to 000, so entering 000 when it prompts for an access code will only work if you have specifically assigned an access code to be 000. NOTE: Once access codes have been set, certain programmable options will not be accessible to Operators and Managers.
Pressing and holding the +/- button disables the access code, while pressing enter will enable and set the access code to the value on the screen. Operators may only change their own access code. Managers may change their access code and any of the Operators. Reps can change anyone's access code.

Press Menu, and if necessary select logon to bring up the Access Menu.
Rev: H10 If you set the permissions for Calibrations, when you press the Cal button while in the normal display, the unit will display the current enabled inputs. Once you select input to calibrate, you will then be prompted to log into the controller. If you do not have permission to change the value, Access level denied will be displayed in the status area. A third permission level is set up for Emergency Off and Reset Fail/Safe. This level is Anyone and is the default setting. If the permission setting is Anyone, you may access these functions without logging onto the controller.
C 3: Navigating the menus

3. 4. Select the level of the access code you wish to recover. Record the encrypted value(s) displayed beneath the prompt and turn Dip 2 off when done. The example below shows the encrypted codes for Op1 (D), Op3 (F), and Op4 (G), while Op2, Op5, & Op6 are disabled on that system.
The controller's menus incorporate built in help text to aid in understanding the function of each parameter, item, and option.
BECS Technology can be contacted for decryption of this code, providing the original access code. C 2.4: Setting Permissions You may set what operators, managers, or anyone have access to in the Permissions menu. By default, all permissions are set to their lowest level (Oper, Mgr, & Rep or Anyone). When you select the Permissions menu under the User Setup menu, you are given several options to choose from. By selecting one of these options you are able to select who has access to what. If Oper, Mgr & Rep is selected, everyone with an access code is able to modify that setting. If Mgr & Rep is selected, only Managers and Reps are able to modify the settings. If Rep only is selected, only Reps are able to modify the setting.

C 3.1: Common status messages The very bottom line of the display contains the time and date on the left while the right is reserved for a number of status messages; the most common are as follows: "Busy..." - Indicates the controller is busy doing something critical and it cannot stop until it finishes. Until this message disappears, the controller will not respond to your key presses (although it does record them any will process them when done). Normally this message is only seen briefly after changing a setting, but it is also used for lengthier operations such as factory defaults and in the extremely rare case where the internal diagnostics detect a memory problem and attempts to correct it. Warning: Interrupting the controller by turning the power off while it displays the busy message could result in the complete loss of all of its settings. "(1 of 2) (More )" - and the like indicate there are more options for you to choose from than the controller could show at one time. Press the right arrow key (Next) to view them. The left number indicates the current page, while the right number indicates the total number of pages. "Bad Value, Retry..." - Accompanied by an error beep, this indicates the value you just entered was not within the allowable range of values and was not stored.

Installation and Technical Manual C 3.2: The Menu Screens Most of the features of the controller are configured via the Menu button's menus. The menu screens can be broken up into two types: entry screens and lists. C 3.2.1: Entry Screens An entry screen is used to enter a value using the keypad.
Rev: H10 C 3.2.2: List Screens The list screens are mainly composed of lists of menu items that you can choose from by either pressing an item's number or by using the up and down arrow keys to select it (indicated by the arrow) and then pressing enter to choose it. Using the up and down arrow keys also allows you to view each item's help text. And if the item leads to an entry screen or a list screen that sets a setting (see below), the current value is displayed in the lower right side.
The current value is usually displayed at the top while the cursor will be positioned under the current digit or character of the value you are entering in. The up and down arrows allow you to move the cursor right or left so you do not have to retype the existing digits if you only wish to change one. Most numerical values will display the minimum and maximum values you can enter in at the bottom of the display in the format "< ### to ###>". These ranges many times will be dependant on other values you have set, such as alarm points or set points, while others are simply fixed to stay within a reasonable range. Entering a value that is not within the acceptable range will result in an error beep and the message "Bad Value, Retry..." being displayed in the status area. For some values, certain keys may take on special functions that are explained in the lower lines of the screen. The Down/up message in the example above is one of them.
Lists can also be used to change a setting:
When a list is used this way, it will display the current setting followed by the words "Change to:". Because it is a list, you can select an item with the up/down buttons to see help information about that particular selection. There are a few list screens that use the entire width of the display for displaying values associated with each item and therefore do not have help. See Section E: Using the Quick Set Face Panel Keys for examples of these types of screens.

Installation and Technical Manual C 3.3: The Lock Screen Key When not in a menu (i.e. viewing the normal display), pressing the lock screen key will prevent the controller from paging the screen to show more inputs, alarms, and other status information. See Section D: The Normal Display for more info about using the lock screen key in the normal display. While within any menu, if the user does not press a key within sixty seconds of the last key press, the current user is logged out and the screen is returned to the normal display. To prevent the controller from timing out, you may lock the screen. While within a menu, pressing the Lock Screen key will bring up a popup menu:
Rev: H10
The first option on the popup will be either to lock or unlock the screen depending on the current lock state. While the screen is locked, key presses normally are ignored. However, in some instances certain keys are given special functions while the screen is locked, such as using the up and down arrows to scroll the help text if all of the help text cannot be displayed at once. You can also lock/unlock the screen without bringing up the popup menu by holding down the lock button for one second. The controller will acknowledge this action with a triple beep and the yellow Lock Screen light will turn on. The Lock button popup menu also identifies who is currently logged on, and provides an option for the user to log off. You can also select cancel if you pressed the lock button in error.

Installation and Technical Manual C 4.7: pH & Chlorine Inventory Setups After entering the Inputs menu, choose pH Inv or Cl Inv from the menu. This will allow you to program the following for the selected inventory input. Sensor Type (Rep): 4-20 mA Select this if you are using a BECSysLS or similar 4-20mA Input: device. The controller will prompt you to choose between level or weight, and then ask you for the input range of the sensor. The input range is whatever the maximum value the sensor is rated to measure and ideally the value represented by 20mA. N.O. dry Select this if you are using a float with normally open contact contact: switches closing when the chemical level falls below the point you wish an alarm to be triggered. N.C. dry Select this if you are using a float with normally closed contact contact: switches opening when the chemical level falls below the point you wish an alarm to be triggered. Not Installed: No sensor installed. C 4.7.1: Sensor Type 4-20mA Input Be sure to set the dipswitch to the 4-20mA position. Sensor Type (Rep): Allows you to change the sensor type to a different type. Level or Weight (Rep): Choose if your inventory is to be measured by the level of chemical or the weight of the chemical. Input Range (Rep): This value sets the input range which is whatever the maximum value the sensor is rated to measure and ideally the value represented by 20mA. Low Alarm (Op): This value sets at what level or weight the inventory low alarm will be activated. You may disable this alarm by holding down the +/- key for 1 second. Alarm Hysteresis (Mgr): This value sets at what level the inventory level or weight has to rise above the low level or weight alarm setting before the alarm will shut off. Input Averaging (Rep): This value sets the number of samples used to get an average for the inventory level. Calibrate (Rep): Once you have entered Inventory Setup, select Calibrate from the menu.
Rev: H10 This calibration is only needed if the readings are accurate at one level/weight, but are off by an increasing amount the farther away you go from that level/weight. If the reading is off by a consistent amount throughout the input range, perform a single point calibration by pressing the Cal button and selecting this input from the list. It is important that the Input Range is set to the correct value; otherwise you may find that the controller refuses to accept the second value due to it being "out of range" or "points too close" (see below). Calibration is a two step process: 1) While the inventory is low, measure or estimate the current level/weight, enter this value in as the first point and press enter. The controller will not time out and exit the menu while waiting for the second point of a calibration, so you do not need to lock the screen here. 2) Fill the inventory by a known amount. Add this amount to the value you entered for the first point, enter the sum as the second point. If you get a "points too close" error message, either the values you entered or the input readings taken for those values were too close together to perform an accurate calibration calculation. You either did not add enough inventory, the Input Range is wrong for the sensor attached, or there could be a problem with the wiring if the reading did not change when you added the inventory. If you get a "out of range" error message, you entered a value outside of the configured Input Range. If the sensor is supposed to be able to measure the value you entered, then the Input Range was not set to the correct value and should be corrected. If you discover later that your first point was off, simply do a single point calibration to correct it. Factory Defaults (Rep): This option allows you to reset the controller back to the factory defaults for all of the inventory input settings.

C 5: Control Outputs
C 5.1: Assign Relays (Rep) To enable control functions, you must assign that function a relay. Control functions are broken up into two groups; Sanitization Feeds and Other Feeds. To set or change the relay used or to disable a control, press the Menu button, then select Control Outputs, Assign Relays, select the group the control function is listed under (see below), and then the control function itself. This will display all of the relays available to be assigned to this control, including the current relay if one was already assigned. Select the relay you wish to assign to the control function or select Disable function to disable the function and free up the currently assigned relay. For information on configuring a particular control, see that control's section in this manual. The following lists the different control functions under each category and a brief description: C 5.1.1 - Sanitization feeds Cl Feed - This is your primary Cl feed. Cl Booster - The Cl Booster is a highly programmable secondary Cl feed for helping maintain the ORP and/or free Cl levels of the pool during high bather loads. This feed also runs during Super Chlorination cycles, and is locked out by the Cl (Br) failsafe alarm. SuperChlor - The Super Chlorination (shock) function is unique to the other control functions in the sense that you can either assign its own relay [for controlling an additional chlorine feed or a non-chlorine shock chemical feed], or assign it to the primary Cl feed's relay if an additional feeder is not used. SuperChlor will always override and run the primary Cl feed and the Cl booster feed, if enabled, in order to help bring the ORP or free Cl level up to the superChlor set point. DeChlor - The DeChlor feature is only shown if SuperChlor has been assigned a relay. DeChlor is intended to be used following a super chlorination to bring the ORP and/or free Cl level back down to a safe level. Ozone - The Ozone feed is a highly programmable feed similar to the Cl booster, but is not limited by the Cl failsafe or forced to operate during a Super Chlorination cycle.
Rev: H10 UV Turndown this control activates a relay to turn down a UV unit prior to recirculation shutdown and filter backwash and optionally control to a combined chlorine set point. C 5.1.2 - Other Feeds pH feeds - Two pH feeds are available for use. If both feed directions are used, they will work together to maintain a single set point. To switch the pH feed direction, you must set the current pH function's relay to disabled and assign that relay to the other pH function. Heater - The heater control allows you to control the heater to a different set point at different times of the day, automatically shut down during no flow or low flow alarms, interlock with the recirculation pump and backwash (fireman switch). Polymer Feed - The polymer feed uses the turbidity input or a cycle timer to determine when to add polymer to the water to increase the filtration power of your filters. Autofill - The Autofill control operates a makeup water valve to add water to your pool. It uses either or one or two proximity switches or the Surge Pit 4-20mA Input with programmable alternate set point to control to a different level while, for example, feature pumps are running. TDS Control - The TDS control works with the Autofill control or an independent Autofill device to lower the TDS of the pool by operating a drain valve to drain water while the Autofill adds fresh water - requires the conductivity/TDS sensor. Sensor Wash - Sensor Wash is a rename-able programmable cycle timer with four separate schedules that is usually used to trigger an acid feed wash to clean the pH and ORP probes. Enzyme Feed this is rename-able programmable daily cycle timer. Recirculation Pump - The recirculation pump control is used to shutdown the recirculation pump under certain alarm conditions and by the powersaver control option. Alarm Relay - The Alarm Relay triggers whenever there is an active alarm or while the emergency off feature is active.

Installation and Technical Manual C 5.2: pH Control After entering the Control Outputs option, select pH Control from the menu. This will allow for the programming of the following for the pH control: Control Type (Op): Choose from On/Off or Time Base Proportional control. In general, if you are using a motor driven chemical feeder then you should choose the On/Off option. If you are using a solenoid driven or pulsed diaphragm chemical feeder (such as Pulsatron, most LMI models or most Prominent Models), you should choose the TBP option. This feature helps to hold a set point and to minimize over-shoot by making a standard feeder mimic the action of more sophisticated modulating feeders. If you choose the On/Off option and are feeding up, then the controller will activate the chemical feeder whenever the pH falls below the set point and continue to feed until the pH rises above the set point plus hysteresis at which point it will stop. If you choose the TBP option and are feeding up then the controller will activate the chemical feeder whenever the pH falls below the set point and will feed for a percentage of the Time Base (default one minute) proportional to the offset from set point. For the remainder of the Time Base the feeder will be paused. The feeder will continue this feed and pause cycle until the controller achieves the set point plus hysteresis. The closer to set point, the less time the feeder is ON. Set Point (Op): This value sets the desired level to maintain the pH at. Input the desired pH set point. Span/Prop. Bnd (Op): This option is only shown if the Control Type is Time Base Proportional. This value sets the distance (or span) from the set point that the output will be proportionally controlled. Warning: Increasing or decreasing the Span/Prop. band or Time Base may cause the feed to severely overshoot or never achieve set point. Adjust this option only when recommended to do so by a factory representative. Time Base (Op): This option is only shown if the Control Type is Time Base Proportional. This sets the total time that control is based on. During this time, the feeder will turn on for a percentage of the Time Base and turn off for the remainder.
Rev: H10 Minimum On Time (Rep): This value is the minimum time the pump will be on during Time Base Proportional control. This helps protect the feeder from cycling on or off for too short a period of time. Failsafe Timer (Op): This value sets the time that the relay is allowed to stay continuously on. The most common failures of automated chemical feed systems are depletion of the chemical supply and/or chemical feeder failure. Both problems result in the controller being unable to reach set point in a reasonable period of time. The failsafe timer sets the maximum length of time the feeder can run. If the feeder has been trying to achieve set point without success for the selected time, the controller will cut power to the feeder, flash the Reset Fail/Safe LED on the face panel and display a message to alert the operator. If in TBP Pause mode, the controller will reset the timer. An operator must reset the failsafe through the Reset Fail/Safe button to re-enable normal control. Warning: Disabling the failsafe timers is highly discouraged. They are an important safety feature to protect against dangerous chemical overfeeds and will protect the equipment from running continuously if it runs out of chemical. Hysteresis (Rep): This value sets the amount the input must rise above (feed up) or fall below (feed down) the set point before the feed is shut off. (the range is from 0.0 to 1.4) Dead Band (Mgr): This option is only shown under dual pH control. This value sets the amount the input must exceed the set point by before the feed of the opposite direction will trigger. (The range is from twice the feeds' hysteresis to 2.8 pH)

Installation and Technical Manual C 5.3: Chlorine Control After entering the Control Outputs option, select the Cl Control from the menu. This will allow the programming of the following: Sanitizer Chemical (Op): Sets the sanitizer chemical name (Chlorine or Bromine). This option controls what chemical name the controller displays for the Cl inputs and the primary sanitization/oxidizing chemical. Control Input Src (Op): This option is only available if the free Cl Input source is set to Calculated or Probe. Choose between ORP and free Cl to use as the primary control input for the sanitizer feed. If the free Cl Input is selected and the free Cl Input source is set to probe, ORP is still used for control while the free Cl interlock timer is running. If the free Cl Input is selected and the free Cl Input source is set to calculated, the controller still controls off of ORP, but the ORP set point is calculated by the controller based on the free Cl set point, the pH set point, and the free Cl calibration. Modification of any one of those three values will result in a new ORP set point. Control Type (Op): Choose from On/Off or Time Base Proportional control. In general, if you are using a motor driven chemical feeder then you should choose the On/Off option. If you are using a solenoid driven or pulsed diaphragm chemical feeder (such as Pulsatron, most LMI models or most Prominent Models), you should choose the TBP option. This feature helps to hold a set point and to minimize over-shoot by making a standard feeder mimic the action of more sophisticated modulating feeders. If you choose the On/Off option, then the controller will activate the chemical feeder whenever the ORP falls below the set point and continue to feed until the ORP rises above the set point plus hysteresis at which point it will stop. If you choose the TBP option, then the controller will activate the chemical feeder whenever the ORP falls below the set point and will feed for a percentage of the Time Base (default one minute) proportional to the offset from set point. For the remainder of the Time Base the feeder will be paused. The feeder will continue this feed and pause cycle until the controller achieves the set point plus hysteresis. The closer to set point, the less time the feeder is ON.
Rev: H10 ORP Set Point (Op): This option is NOT shown if the Control Source is set to free Cl and the free Cl Input source is set to Calculated. This value sets the desired level to maintain the ORP at. ORP Span/Prop. Bnd (Op): This option is only shown if the Control Type is Time Base Proportional and the ORP Set Point is shown above. This value sets the distance (or span) from the set point that the output will be proportionally controlled. Warning: Increasing or decreasing the proportional band may cause the feed to severely overshoot or never achieve set point. Adjust this option only when recommended to do so by a factory representative. Free Cl Span/Prop Bnd (Op): This option is only shown if the Control Type is Time Base Proportional, the Control Source is set to free Cl, and the free Cl Input source is set to probe. This value sets the distance (or span) from the set point that the output will be proportionally controlled. Free Cl Set Point (Op): This option is only shown if the Control Source is set to free Cl. This value sets the desired level to maintain the free Cl at. Free Cl Ctrl Hyst (Rep): This option is only shown if the Control Source is set to free Cl and the free Cl Input source is set to probe. This value sets the amount the input must rise above set point before the feed will shut off. Time Base (Op): This option is only shown if the Control Type is Time Base Proportional. This sets the total time that control is based on. During this time, the feeder will turn on for a percentage of the Time Base and turn off for the remainder. Warning: Increasing or decreasing the time base may cause the feed to severely overshoot or never achieve set point. Adjust this option only when recommended to do so by a factory representative. Minimum On Time (Rep): This option is only shown if the Control Type is Time Base Proportional. This value is the minimum time the pump will be on during Time Proportional control.

Section D: The Normal Display

The normal display refers to the screens that display all of your inputs, current alarms, and status messages. These are read only and do not offer any selections to chose from.
D 1: Inputs and Feeds
When no alarms or status messages are present, the entire screen will be used to display all of the enabled inputs. If a particular input is used by a control output and the control output is feeding based off of that input, the controller will display a message next to that input indicating so. Other information such as LSI/RSI calculated values and Customer/Location/Rep information may also be displayed. If there are more items to show than there is room for, the controller the controller will page through them until they all have been displayed, then start over. Pressing the right arrow key (Next) will display the next page. Pressing the Lock Screen button will prevent the controller from paging the screen to show more inputs, alarms, and other status information. You can adjust the rate at which the controller pages by pressing the up and/or down arrow keys.
D 2: Alarms & Status messages
When one or more alarms are active, the bottom three lines are used to list them. If more than three alarms are active, the controller will page through them three at a time until they all have been displayed, then start over. Super chlorination, dechlorination, sensor wash, backwash, and power saver all display status information in this area as well. If there are any

Section E: Using the Face Panel Quick Keys E 1: The Set Points Key
The Set Points Key on the front face panel, when pressed, allows you to quickly change desired feed set points for the various control outputs that are enabled.
By selecting one of the assigned relays, you are allowed to choose between automatic, manual on or manual off. Unused relays and the alarm relay cannot be manually overridden, but their current state is always displayed. To change the existing feed set point, first select the desired option, input the new value, and then press enter. Pressing the Set Points key a second time will display the alarm set points for all of the enabled inputs. If Manual On is selected, you will be prompted to enter how long the relay can stay in Manual On before returning to Auto (the maximum on time is 30 minutes). To test a relay or to prime a pump (on the local relay screen), lock the screen while in the main Relay Mode menu, then press the relay's numeric key (i.e., for relay 3, press the 3 key). This will turn the relay on for as long as you are pressing that key. If the relay is already on, this will have no affect. The Relay Expansion modules have a button to test the relays. If you have the controller set up to control a VFD, pressing the Relay Mode Key again will display the 420mA Control Outputs.
To change the existing alarm set point, first select the desired option, input the new value, and then press enter.
E 2: The Relay Mode Key
Pressing the Relay Mode key on the front face panel shows you which options have been assigned relays, and each of the relays' current mode (AUTO/MANUAL OFF/MANUAL ON) and its state (Off or On). Pressing the Relay Mode key again will cycle through the Relay Modules connected to the controller, showing what is assigned to those relays and their current state.
From here you can switch between auto and manual on. There are two different manual on options: Manual % Out and Manual Flow Rate. Manual % Out sets the VFD output at a specified value. Manual Flow Rate changes the VFD output to maintain a specified flow rate.

E 3: The Cal Key (calibration)
Pressing the Cal (calibration) key on the front face panel will list the inputs you can perform a single point calibration on. Select the input you wish to calibrate and enter the proper value. ORP can only be calibrated by Rep if the rep access code is set. Perform a single point calibration if the reading is off by a consistent amount throughout the input range. If the readings are accurate at one reading, but are off by an increasing amount the farther away you go from that reading, check the wiring and the condition of the probe (if applicable). If the problem is not found, you may need to do a two-point calibration located in the input's menu under the Menu button.
E 5: The Emergency Off Key
When the Emergency Off button is pressed, all relays are automatically shut off except for the alarm relay which will turn on. All the other relays will remain off until the emergency off button is press again.
E 4: The Reset Fail / Safe Key
The Reset Fail / Safe key on the front face panel, when pressed, provides the following information and options: Lists any active failsafe alarms and provides the option to reset them. A failsafe alarm is generally triggered when one of the relays has remained on past the set time the function has been given to reach its set point. By choosing to reset the failsafe, the control that triggered the failsafe will be able to resume operating normally once again. Warning: Before resetting any failsafe alarms, ensure that all functions of the controller are working properly. Displays the remaining time a relay may remain on before a failsafe will occur for each active feed with a failsafe time set. Provides the option to abort the Flow Restored Feed Delay whenever the flow restored feed delay is enabled and is currently delaying feeds.

Section F: Troubleshooting F 1: Calibration Errors

If during calibration of the inputs you receive an error message, check the following:
F 2: Low Battery Alarm
F 2.1: Specific Errors 1) "Points too close together or invalid." Either the values you entered or the input readings taken for those values were too close together to perform an accurate calibration calculation. Try calibrating again with a greater difference between the two points. 2) Value too low. Check probe and flow. Indicated on free Cl calibrations if the user attempts to calibrate below 1.0 ppm for CCS140 sensors or 0.5 ppm for ECL6 sensors. Increase the chlorine in the pool above the values listed. 3) Sensor error. Reading out of range. This message indicates the sensor would have been calibrated too far away from the controllers safety limits. For ORP and pH sensors, this may indicate it is time to change the probes. F 2.2: General tips 1) Try calibrating again, allowing more time between the 1st and 2nd point calibration. 2) If you are using a BECSys HRC-1 make sure the Hi-Z switch is in the off position. 3) Double check to make sure you have the proper wires connected to the input.
The Low Battery Alarm is displayed when the controller detects the battery voltage is too low. If your controller is displaying a Low Battery Alarm, first double check the battery switch. Dip switch 8 on the CPU board is for the battery, it should be in the On position. If this switch is in the On position and the alarm is still displayed, you may have a dead battery.

Rev: H10 a pH 4 buffer saturated with potassium chloride (KCl). The potassium chloride will prevent electrolyte from leaching out of the sensors reference cell. The wetting cap only needs to be half full. If a number of sites are going to be serviced, for example, at the end of a season, then it might be a good idea to carry a pint of 4.0/KCl storage solution.
Section G: Maintenance
The BECSys controller requires no maintenance other than a periodic calibration check and sensor cleaning.
G 1: Potentiometric Sensors (pH and ORP)

G 1.1: Electrode Cleaning Slow response time and large offsets may indicate the electrode has become coated. The nature of the coating will dictate the type of cleaning technique that should be used. Warning: You may lightly blot the water on a pH sensor tip on a paper towel, but never vigorously rub or wipe the pH bulb because this may scratch the delicate outer layer on the pH glass impairing its response. Soft coatings, like bacterial films, are best removed using a squirt bottle or the water jet from a faucet. If this is not successful, then gently wipe with a soft wet cloth. For a more severe coating, first try a strong detergent (something similar to Dawn liquid detergent) and warm water, using a soft brush (like a toothbrush). Isopropyl alcohol on a Q-tip is another good choice. Rinse the measuring end in distilled water before reinstallation. Greasy and oily coatings are best removed with a detergent solution or a solvent that will not attack the sensor body. Methanol and isopropyl alcohol are good choices for solvents. Acetone, MEK, THF, or trichloroethane will irreparably harm the electrode. Hard coatings, like calcium or lime scale, are best removed with a solvent appropriate for the particular coating. A 5% solution of hydrochloric acid (HCl) would be a good choice for calcium scale. If unsure of the proper solvent to remove a hard mineral coating, then alternate between a 5% hydrochloric acid and a 4% sodium hydroxide (NaOH) for 10 minutes each. After treating the electrode with these strong acids or bases, rinse the electrode with water and soak it in a pH 4 buffer for at least 1/2 hour. The platinum tip of an ORP sensor can be cleaned with an abrasive as a last resort. Gently scour the platinum with a 600 grit wet emery cloth, or preferably, a 1-3 micron alumina polishing powder. G 1.2: Long-Term Storage Save the wetting cap that came with the sensor for long-term storage. After removing the sensor from the flow cell, clean it as in routine maintenance, then store it in the wetting cap using
G 2: Free Chlorine Sensor
Check the sensor measurement at regular intervals (at least once a month), and perform a recalibration if necessary. As a rule of thumb, refill the measuring cell with electrolyte once per season (or every 12 months). G 2.1: Cleaning
If the sensor membrane is visibly soiled, then remove the sensor from the flow cell and clean the membrane with a gentle water jet, or soak the membrane for a few minutes in a 1% to 10% hydrochloric acid (HCl) solution. Avoid chemical additives as they may damage the membrane. Replace a heavily soiled or damaged membrane. G 2.2: Long-Term Storage Save the yellow protective cap that came with the sensor for long-term storage. After removing the sensor from the flow cell, empty the measuring cell of electrolyte (particularly if dehydration of the membrane is possible). Rinse the measuring chamber and electrode shaft with cold water and let them dry. Then screw the measuring cell down loosely and not to the stop, so that the membrane remains unstressed. When the sensor is put back into service, it will have to be refilled with electrolyte and run through an initial polarization before calibration. G 2.3: Filling electrolyte Unscrew the measuring chamber from the shaft. Hold the measuring chamber at an angle and fill in approximately 7 to 8 ml electrolyte, up to approximately 1 cm under the top edge. Tap the filled chamber several times on a flat surface to release any air bubbles. Screw the electrode shaft into the measuring chamber vertically from above, displacing all air from inside. Tighten slowly to the stop.
Page 53
Rev: H10
G 3: Conductivity Sensor
G 3.1: Cleaning The sensor should be kept as clean as possible for optimum measurement accuracy. The frequency of cleaning will depend upon the application. Warning: Residue from cleaning solutions, or even skin contact, can leave trace elements on the sensor that may affect the reading, When necessary, wash with strong detergent (something similar to Dawn liquid detergent) and warm water, using a pipe cleaner or small soft brush for most fouling. Rinse with tap water to completely remove the detergent, and then perform a final rinse with distilled or de-ionized water. For hard scale, try a mild acid solution. Vinegar will often do it, 5% hydrochloric acid if the vinegar doesnt work. You can use acetone or something similar on this sensor. Warning: Do not soak the sensor in a strong solvent as the O-rings may be attacked after time.
