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 5200As
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)]

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
1000 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) 5200As 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 in this chapter for complete details on all 5200A fea-
tures.
*A conguration log records any changes made to the 5200A setup. For example,
changing a set point for a alarm would be recorded in the conguration log.
Introduction
**AquaManager displays real time data from monitors 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gurable 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.
