Introduction
ank you for purchasing the YSI 5X00. roughout this manual YSI “5X00” is used
globally to refer to YSI 5400, 5500D-01, 5500D-02 and 5500D-04 instruments. Both
AC and DC versions are covered in this manual e YSI 5X00 is a fully program-
mable aquatic control monitor with alarming capability. A key feature of the 5X00
monitor is the ability to independently operate four dissolved oxygen (DO) inputs
and six auxiliary (Aux) inputs. is allows control of multiple water systems from
one instrument. Peripheral devices wired to the instrument respond to user-dened
congurations to ensure that stable water conditions are maintained. e instru-
ments’ on-site and remote access capability are suitable for a variety of applications.
5X00 features:
- four (4) independent DO systems
- six (6) independent Aux I/O systems - [digital, analog (0-1VDC, 0-5VDC,
4-20mA). In addition four (4) of the six Aux I/O systems can be used as
temperature systems.]
- eight (8) onboard relays - 240VAC@5AMPs; 110VAC@10AMPs
- universal AC power with power fail alarm (only available on AC instru-
ments)
- optional DC power with low battery alarm
- four (4) ten event daily timers
- four (4) feed timers
- 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 continu-
ously
- menu-driven programming with four (4) sokeys
- networking capability - connect up to (32) 5X00s and/or 5200As on one
network via RS485 protocol
- optional AquaManager® PC soware** serves as monitor management tool
via direct (RS232) or TCP/IP connection
- email alarming via TCP/IP or local AquaManager connection
- NEMA 4X, IP65 enclosure
See Product Specications - page 13 for complete details on all 5X00 features.
*A conguration log records any changes made to the 5X00 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 5X00 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 5X00 system manages aquatic environments by automating control and alarm
devices to maintain stable water conditions.
A 5X00 system is congured by the user; therefore, each system setup is unique to
the application. An example of a 5X00 system could include*:
- 5X00 instrument(s)
- 5X00 components such as power, communication, and network devices
- *input peripheral devices (i.e. oat switch, probe assembly)
- *output peripheral devices (i.e. aerator)
- 5X00 user-dened conguration
- AquaManager PC interface (optional)
*Not all of the above items are included with the purchase of a 5X00 instrument.
Input devices send data to the 5X00. is data is processed based on instrument
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 energize until the 5X00 receives a DO sensor reading
≥ set point value.
Figure 1.1 shows the 5X00 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 instrument components.
