Features

4-electrode conductivity includes fouling compensation and alarm.
Integral flowsight & flowswitch lockout.
Records both makeup (MTR1) and blowdown (MTR2) water meter total gallons.
Configure blowdown water meter (MTR2) as second makeup meter.
Blowdown Relay options:

Bleed x gallons for every x gallons makeup
Bleed x minutes for every x gallons of makeup
Bleed by setpoint
Bleed by cycles of concentration with NCON/NCKT Option
Bleed by multi-setpoint selected with NCON/NCKT Option

Three user-selectable relay options (four additional with NRLY):

Feed by setpoint, direct or reverse;
Water meter actuated feed. MTR1, MTR2 or sum;
Feed after blowdown by percent of bleed time;
Feed by percentage of time;
Schedule feed timer (-RTC Option);
General alarm contact.

Three security levels:

View only
Operator
Technician

Four different languages.

English Spanish (standard)
English French (optional)
English German (optional)

Benefits

Multiple control options in a single economical package.
Very accurate control of chemical feed and cycles of concentration.
Very low maintenance.
Tolerant to power surges and brownouts.
Power cord, plug outlets and attached plumbing make installation easy. There is plenty of protected room inside the enclosure for electrician wiring.
Indicates when to clean sensor.
Very accurate monitoring of the evaporated water.
Feeds chemical AFTER blowdown.
Has expansion slots to add additional control, such as chiller loop monitor and cycles of concentration based on incoming makeup water.

Ordering Information

2175		LONWORKS Technology-based conductivity and water meter actuated chemical feed controller. The 2175 has built-in options for feed on conductivity, blowdown or makeup. Totalizing or makeup, three security levels and blowdown are standard features. Conductivity range is 0-5,000 µS.

CONTROLLER OPTIONS (optional, select no more than three)
-RTC		Adds 24-hour clock and calendar to controller (required to configure relays to feed chemicals/biocides based on time of day and for data acquisition if using the -RS2L Option). NOTE: Adding an -RTC card does not add relays.
-35L		Two 4-20 mA output configurable for remote data acquisition of conductivity.
-RS2L		Communications node with shareware software. Requires -RTC Option.
-NIN		Network interface node. Allows 1 NRLY and/or up to 3 NCON/NCKT to be added.
