Introduction
ank you for purchasing the YSI 5200A. e YSI 5200A is a fully programmable
aquatic control monitor with alarming capability. e 5200A monitors, controls,
and alarms DO (dissolved oxygen), conductivity, ORP, pH, and two Aux (auxil-
iary) inputs. In addition, the 5200A has four (4) 10 event timers and one (1) feed
timer system. Peripheral devices connected to the 5200A respond to user-dened
conguration to ensure that stable water conditions are maintained. e 5200A’s
on-site and remote access capability are suitable for a variety of applications.
5200A features:
- DO, conductivity, ORP, pH, and temperature (or DO and temperature only)
monitoring with control and alarm capability from one multiparameter
probe and cable assembly
- two (2) independent Aux I/O systems - [digital or analog (0-1VDC,
0-5VDC, or 4-20mA)]
- four (4) onboard relays - 240VAC@ 5AMPs; 110VAC@10AMPS
- universal AC power option (only available on AC instruments)
- DC power option with low battery alarm
- four (4) ten event daily timers
- one (1) feed timer
- two (2) 32-bit processors
- non-volatile memory of sensor, event, calibration, and conguration* data
logs
- 2000 data set memory for sensor data
- eld upgradable soware and rmware
- backlit LCD with timer function - input and output data displayed con-
tinuously
- menu-driven programming with four (4) sokeys
- networking capability - connect up to (32) 5200A and/or 5X00s on one
network via RS485 protocol
- optional AquaManager® PC soware** serves as a monitor management
tool via direct (RS232) or TCP/IP connection
- email alarming via TCP/IP or AquaManager connection
- NEMA 4X, IP65 enclosure
See Product Specications - page 13 for complete details on all 5200A features.
*A conguration log records any changes made to the 5200A setup. For example,
changing a set point for an alarm would be recorded in the conguration log.
Introduction
**AquaManager displays real time data from 5200A instruments and provides data
logging, graphing, autopolling, mapping, and system conguration control from a
PC. AquaManager is a valuable tool for remote and local access applications.
Product Description
e 5200A system manages aquatic environments by automating control and alarm
devices to maintain stable water conditions.
A 5200A system is congured by the user; therefore, each system setup is unique to
the application. An example of a 5200A system could include*:
- 5200A instrument(s)
- 5200A components such as power, communication, and network devices
- input peripheral devices (i.e. oat switch, probe assembly)
- output peripheral devices (i.e. aerator)
- 5200A user-dened conguration
- AquaManager PC interface (optional)
*All of the items listed are not included with the purchase of a 5200A instrument.
Input devices send data to the 5200A. is data is processed based on the 5200A
conguration. For example, a DO sensor (input) reports a 5.4 mg/L value and
relay #3 (output) is congured to activate an aerator when value is ≤ 5.5 mg/L. e
aerator wired to relay #3 will be energized until the 5200A receives a DO sensor
reading ≥ the set point value.
Figure 1.1 shows the 5200A front panel and enclosure. e front panel includes an
LCD, which continuously displays current system conditions. Front panel keys are
used to navigate screens and program congurations. Compression ttings located
at the bottom of the enclosure provide liquid-tight connections for wiring peripheral
devices and 5200A components.
