Procedure

1
Disconnect the HI520 from power.
2
Loosen the four captive spring screws on the front panel. Swing the front bezel open to the left to expose the terminal boards.
3
Identify the correct cable gland: conduit opening 1 for Probe 1 (CH1), conduit opening 3 for Probe 2 (CH2).
4
Thread the patch cable through the cable gland. Do not share the gland with the power cable.
5
On Terminal 2, locate the PROBE 1 or PROBE 2 connector block. Connect the cable leads following the marked polarity:

6
Tighten the cable gland to maintain IP65 sealing. Close and secure the front panel.
7
Reconnect power and power on the controller.
8
The controller automatically detects the probe. The Measure screen displays the parameter (e.g. pH °C) with a live reading.
9
If the probe is not recognised, check the wiring polarity and cable gland seating. For turbidity probes (HI7660-28), use Technical Menu → Restore HI7660-28XX if needed.
Probe info (model, firmware, serial number, factory calibration date) can be viewed at: m → Channel → Setup → Probe Settings → Probe Info.
Task 2 – pH Calibration
📷 Calibration menu on LCD
m → Channel → CAL — show buffer group selection screen
📷 CalData screen
Post-calibration — slope %, offset mV, date, temp offset
Goal: Perform a 2-point pH calibration using Hanna buffer solutions.

Required Materials

ItemNotes
pH 7.01 buffer (HI7007)1st calibration point — always start here
pH 4.01 buffer (HI7004) or pH 10.01 buffer (HI7010)2nd calibration point — choose based on application range
DI / distilled waterFor rinsing probe between points
Soft tissue or clothTo gently blot probe tip (do not rub)
Allow the probe to stabilise in the buffer for at least 1 minute before confirming. Calibrate at process temperature for best accuracy.

Procedure

1
Rinse the probe with DI water and gently blot dry.
2
Press m → select Channel (CH1 or CH2) → press CAL.
3
Enter the passcode if prompted. Press YES to place the controller in Hold.
4
Select buffer group: Hanna (1.68 / 4.01 / 7.01 / 10.01 / 12.45) or NIST (1.68 / 4.01 / 6.86 / 9.18 / 12.45).
5
Select 2-point calibration. The display prompts for the first buffer (pH 7.01).
6
Immerse the probe in pH 7.01 buffer. Wait for the reading to stabilise, then press CFM.
7
Rinse the probe with DI water and blot dry.
8
Immerse the probe in the second buffer (e.g. pH 4.01). Wait for stabilisation, then press CFM.
9
The controller saves calibration data to the probe. The controller exits Hold and returns to Measure mode.
10
Verify calibration: m → Channel → Setup → Probe Settings → CalData — displays slope, offset, date, and temperature offset.
Task 3 – Configure a Digital Input
📷 Inputs menu — Function drop-down
LCD screen: Disabled / Hold / Cleaning options visible
📊 Active level diagram
Signal timeline: High active (5–24 Vdc triggers) vs Low active (0 V triggers) — show both waveforms with relay state below
Goal: Configure Input 1 for each of the three available functions: Disabled, Trigger Hold, and Trigger Cleaning.

Navigation

1
Press m → navigate to Inputs.
2
Select Input 1 → press Setup.
3
Enter passcode if prompted. Press YES for Hold.
4
Navigate to Function → press Modify to open the drop-down.
5
Use ↑↓ to scroll between options → press Select to confirm.

Option A — Disabled

Select Disabled. The physical input signal is ignored. Use this when no external switch is connected to prevent false triggers.

Option B — Trigger Hold

Select Hold. When the input transitions to active, the controller enters Hold mode — control outputs freeze, Hold LED illuminates yellow.

SettingValue
Active LevelHigh — input active when signal is 5–24 Vdc
Low — input active when signal drops to 0 V
Typical use: external PLC signal or safety switch that holds the controller during maintenance or cleaning without using the keypad.

Option C — Trigger Cleaning

Select Cleaning. A transition on the input starts a cleaning cycle (Simple or Advanced, as configured in the Cleaning menu). The input appears as Ext. Trigger in the Cleaning setup.

Cleaning must be Enabled in the Cleaning menu for the external trigger to work. If cleaning is disabled, the input signal is ignored.
Task 4 – On/Off Control: CH1 pH + CH2 ORP
Goal: Configure CH1 for On/Off pH dosing control and CH2 for On/Off ORP control. The relay must be assigned in the Outputs menu before entering Control Settings — the setpoint only appears as a relay source after it has been created.

On/Off Low Mode – pH Control Chart

10.0 9.0 7.0 5.0 pH SetP1 = 7.00 pH Stop = 9.00 (SetP1 + Hysteresis 2.00) Alarm High = 10.00 pH Alarm Low = 5.00 pH pH drifts down dosing ↑ dosing ↑ Relay 1 ON – dosing base ON OFF OFF OFF Time →
Hysteresis Direction – Critical Concept:
Mode Relay turns ON when Relay turns OFF when Typical use
ON/OFF Low PV falls below SetP1 PV rises to SetP1 + Hysteresis (above SP) Base dosing — raises pH
ON/OFF High PV rises above SetP1 PV falls to SetP1 − Hysteresis (below SP) Acid dosing — lowers pH

Chart above: SetP1 = 7.00, Hysteresis = 2.00 → relay OFF at 9.00 pH. Alarm High at 10.00, Alarm Low at 5.00.

Step 1 – Assign Relay First (Outputs menu)

1
Press mOutputs → press Setup.
2
Select Relay 1Setup. Set FunctionControl.
3
Source: press Modify → select CH1 SetP1Select. Save and exit.
Why first? The HI520 only lists an active setpoint as a relay source. Assigning the relay before configuring Control Settings avoids a second trip to Outputs.

Step 2 – Configure CH1 pH Setpoint

1
Press mChannel (CH1)SetupControl SettingsSetup. Enter passcode → YES for Hold.
2
Setpoint → SetP1 → Enabled: press Enable.
3
Value: set 7.00 pHCFM.
4
Mode: press Modify → select ON/OFF Low (base dosing) → Select.
5
Hysteresis: set 2.00 pHCFM. Pump will stop when pH reaches 9.00.

Step 3 – Safety Settings

ParameterRecommendedPurpose
Min ON Time3 sPrevents relay chatter when PV hovers near setpoint
Overtime60 minTriggers alarm + stops relay if setpoint unreached — prevents overdosing
Delay Off30 sKeeps relay ON briefly after setpoint satisfied — allows reagent to mix

Step 4 – Alarm Configuration

1
In Control Settings → Alarm → SetP1 Alarm.
2
High Alarm: 10.00 pH — fire alarm if pH overshoots (pump fault or overdose).
3
Low Alarm: 5.00 pH — fire alarm if pH drops too low (underdose or probe fault).
4
Mask Time: 30 s — delay before alarm activates after setpoint change (avoids false alarms during dosing transients).

Optional – SetP2: Acid Back-Dosing

Add SetP2 if the process can also rise above target and needs acid correction. Works alongside SetP1 on the same channel.
1
Assign Relay 2 → CH1 SetP2 via Outputs → Relay 2 → Control → CH1 SetP2.
2
In Control Settings → SetP2 → EnabledEnable.
3
Value: 9.50 pH · Mode: ON/OFF High · Hysteresis: 0.50 pH → acid pump stops at 9.00 pH.

Step 5 – CH2 ORP On/Off Control

1
First: Outputs → Relay 3 → Control → CH2 SetP1. Save.
2
Press mChannel → highlight CH2SetupControl Settings.
3
SetP1 → Value: 700 mV · Mode: ON/OFF Low (dose oxidant when ORP too low) · Hysteresis: 50 mV.
4
Overtime: 30 min. Exit and save. Assign Relay 3 alarm to a buzzer or indicator relay.

Step 6 – Commissioning Checklist

Task 5 – Pool Control with Sequential Triggering
🔀 Sequential control system diagram
Pool → pH probe (CH1) → Relay 1 acid pump + Relay 2 base pump · ORP probe (CH2) → Relay 3 Cl pump · CH2 enabled only when CH1 SetP1 satisfied
Sequential Control Timeline
Time → pH pH Relay Cl Relay ORP 7.4 7.2 pH out of range Acid pump ON OFF OFF (interlock) Cl dosing ON pH in range → interlock opens
Goal: Implement pool water control where chlorine (ORP) dosing only activates when pH is within the correct range — replicating the safety interlock of a dedicated pool controller.

Comparison: BL13X vs HI520

FeatureBL13X (dedicated pool controller)HI520 (universal process controller)
pH controlBuilt-in, fixed logicCH1 — On/Off, fully configurable
Cl / ORP controlBuilt-in — Cl dosing blocked if pH out of range (e.g. <7.2 or >7.4)CH2 — linked to CH1 setpoint via sequential triggering
Interlock logicHardware/firmware fixedConfigured by linking CH2 to CH1 SetP1
FlexibilityPool-specificAny parameter, any application
Why the interlock matters: Chlorine is only effective when pH is in range (7.2–7.4). Dosing Cl with incorrect pH wastes chemical and can cause safety issues. In BL13X, this interlock is automatic. In HI520, it is achieved through sequential control.

Setup – CH1 pH Control (7.2–7.4 target)

1
Configure CH1 SetP1: pH 7.3 · Mode ON/OFF Low (acid corrects high pH) · Hysteresis 0.10 pH → relay ON above 7.3, OFF below 7.2.
2
Configure CH1 SetP2: pH 7.3 · Mode ON/OFF High (base corrects low pH) · Hysteresis 0.10 pH → relay ON below 7.3, OFF above 7.4.
3
Assign Relay 1 → CH1 SetP1 (acid pump). Assign Relay 2 → CH1 SetP2 (base pump, if used).

Setup – CH2 ORP / Cl Control (sequential)

1
Press mChannel → highlight CH2 → SetupControl Settings.
2
Configure CH2 SetP1: ORP 700 mV · Mode ON/OFF Low (dose chlorine when ORP too low) · Hysteresis 50 mV.
3
In the CH2 Control Settings, find the Trigger (or linked channel) parameter. Set it to CH1 SetP1 — CH2 control only runs when CH1 SetP1 is satisfied (pH in range).
4
Assign Relay 3 → CH2 SetP1 (chlorine dosing pump).
5
Verify: when pH is outside 7.2–7.4, CH1 relay corrects pH and CH2 (Cl) relay remains off. When pH enters range, CH1 is satisfied and CH2 begins ORP control.
This replicates the BL13X interlock: pH must be in the correct window before Cl dosing is permitted.
Task 6 – Math Channel Setup
📷 Math channel on LCD
Single-channel display: "MathБ Difference: 139.1 µS/cm" — show actual screen
🔀 Differential monitoring setup
Diagram: Process flow → EC probe CH1 (inlet) → filter/membrane → EC probe CH2 (outlet) → HI520 Math channel → AO to PLC
Goal: Use the Math channel to display and monitor the difference between two identical parameter probes — for example, EC inlet vs EC outlet to track membrane or filter performance.

Requirements

RequirementDetails
Two probesMust be the same parameter type (e.g. both EC, both pH) and identical measurement configuration
ChannelsCH1 and CH2 both wired and enabled
Math outputDisplays: CH1 − CH2 (difference)

Viewing the Math Channel

1
From the Measure screen, press to select CH2 as active channel (Б symbol moves to CH2).
2
Press again — the display switches to single-channel Math view showing the difference value (e.g. Difference: 139.1 µS/cm).
3
Press once more to return to dual-channel view.

Assigning an Analog Output to the Math Channel

1
Press mOutputs → select the desired AO (e.g. AO 1) → Setup.
2
Parameter: press Modify → select Math from the parameter list → Select.
3
Set the 0/4 mA and 20 mA values to span the expected difference range (e.g. 0 µS/cm to 500 µS/cm).
4
The AO now outputs a signal proportional to the difference between CH1 and CH2 — usable by a PLC or SCADA for differential monitoring or alarm triggering.
The Math channel is display and output only — it cannot be assigned to a control setpoint or relay. It is intended for monitoring applications.
Task 7 – PID Controller Configuration
Tx Tuning – Step Response Method
pH Time → SP dose tangent at max slope Tx Deviation = Tx × slope | Reset = Tx/0.4 | Rate = Tx×0.4
P-only vs PID – Overshoot Comparison

📊 PID block diagram
SP → error → P term + I term + D term → Σ → PWM relay / AO output → Process → PV feedback loop. Label Deviation, Reset Time, Rate Time, Dead Band.
Goal: Configure a PID control loop on CH1 pH. Start with P-only, then add I and D terms after tuning.

Step 1 – Configure PID Mode

1
Press mChannel (CH1)SetupControl SettingsSetup.
2
Enter passcode → YES for Hold.
3
Setpoint → SetP1 → Enabled: press Enable.
4
Value: set desired pH setpoint (e.g. 7.00).
5
Mode: press Modify → select PIDSelect → press Setup.

Step 2 – Configure PID Parameters (start P-only)

ParameterStart ValueEffect
ModePID Low or PID HighLow = dose to raise value; High = dose to lower it
Deviation1.00 pH (adjust based on process)Range where output scales 0–100%
Control Period1.00 minUpdate interval — start with 1.5× process reaction time
Reset Time16:40 h (max — disables I term)Start with I disabled; reduce only after P is tuned
Rate Time0 s (disables D term)Start with D disabled; add only for fast-changing processes
Dead Band0.20 pHZone near setpoint where output = 0
Dead Band Gain0 %0% = full I suppression near setpoint (reduces overshoot)

Step 3 – Tuning Procedure

1
Set Log Interval to 10 seconds (General Settings).
2
Run the process from a value at least 3 pH away from setpoint. Dose at maximum capacity. Note start time.
3
Watch for the point of maximum rate of change (steepest slope). Stop dosing. Export the log to USB.
4
Plot the data. Draw a tangent at the steepest slope. Read the system time delay Tx on the time axis.
5
Calculate:
Deviation = Tx × max slope (pH/min)
Reset Time = Tx / 0.4 (minutes)
Rate Time = Tx × 0.4 (minutes)
6
Enter calculated values. If overshoot persists, increase Deviation or Reset Time slightly. Adjust one parameter at a time.
Reset Time and Rate Time should be configured by technical personnel only. Fine-tune incrementally and observe several control cycles before changing again.
Task 8 – Modbus Connection to PLC / SCADA
RS-485 Bus Topology – Multi-drop with Termination

📷 COMM connector wiring detail
Terminal 2 COMM block: A(+) and B(−) leads inserted. 120 Ω resistor bridging A–B at the end-of-bus terminal.
Goal: Wire the HI520 RS-485 port to a PLC or SCADA system and enable Modbus RTU remote control.

Step 1 – Physical Wiring

1
Power off the HI520. Open the front panel.
2
Thread the RS-485 cable through conduit opening 1 (signal path, same side as probe 1).
3
On Terminal 2, locate the COMM connector. Connect:
A (+) → RS-485 positive (data+)
B (−) → RS-485 negative (data−)
4
Connect the same A/B wires to the RS-485 port of the PLC or SCADA interface card, observing polarity.
120 Ω Termination Resistor: For RS-485 cable runs longer than approximately 10–15 m, install a 120 Ω resistor across A and B at each end of the bus (at the HI520 and at the PLC/SCADA). Without termination, signal reflections cause communication errors on long cables. Short bench connections typically do not need termination.

Step 2 – Enable Modbus on HI520

1
Press m → navigate to General → press Setup.
2
Navigate to Remote Control → press Enable.
3
Configure RS-485 communication parameters to match the PLC/SCADA:
