1.0 INTRODUCTION
The Walchem Intuition-9™ Series controllers offer a high level of flexibility in controlling water treatment
applications.
• There are four slots that accept a variety of Input/Output Modules, which provides unparalleled versatility. Dual sensor
input modules are available that are compatible with a variety of sensors (two sensors per module):
» Contacting conductivity
» Electrodeless conductivity
» pH
» ORP
» Any Walchem disinfection sensor
» Generic sensor (Ion Selective Electrodes or any type of sensor with a linear voltage output between -2 VDC
and 2 VDC)
• Three analog (4-20 mA) input modules with two, four or six input circuits is also available for use with 2,3 or
4-wire transmitters.
• Two other modules feature two or four isolated analog outputs that may be installed to retransmit sensor input signals
to a chart recorder, datalogger, PLC or other device. They may also be connected to valves, actuators or metering
pumps for linear proportional control or PID control.
• Another module provides two corrosion sensor inputs.
• Sixteen Virtual Inputs are configurable in the software, to either allow for calculations based on two real inputs, or to
allow to compare values from two sensors to provide redundancy.
• Eight or Twelve relay outputs may be set to a variety of control modes:
» On/Off set point control
» Time Proportional control
» Pulse Proportional control (when purchased with Pulse solid state opto outputs)
» Flow Proportional
» PID control (when purchased with Pulse solid state opto outputs)
» Lead/Lag control of up to 6 relays
» Dual set point
» Timer
» Bleed or Feed based on a Water Contactor or Paddlewheel flow meter input
» Feed and Bleed
» Feed and Bleed with Lockout
» Feed as a percent of Bleed
» Feed as a percent of elapsed time
» Daily, Weekly, 2-week or 4-week Biocide timers with pre-bleed and post-add lockout of bleed
» Intermittent sampling for boilers with proportional blowdown, controlling on a trapped sample
» Always on unless interlocked
» Probe Wash timer
» Spike to alternate set point on timed basis
» Target PPM
» PPM Volume
» Dual Switch
» Boolean Logic
» Diagnostic Alarm triggered by:
• High or Low sensor reading
• No Flow
• Relay output timeout
• Sensor error
Relays are available in several combinations of powered relays, dry contact relays, and pulse solid state opto relays.
Sixteen virtual Control Outputs are configurable in the software, using most of the possible relay or analog output control
algorithms, that may be used to interlock or activate actual control outputs.

Auxiliary DC power option boards, available with either 12 or 24 VDC, may be added to support high-wattage trans-
mitters or ancillary devices such as cell modems by supplying up to 10 watts of power.
The standard Ethernet feature provides remote access to the controller’s programming via a PC connected directly,
via a local area network, or via Walchem’s Fluent account management server. It also allows emailing of datalog files
(in CSV format, compatible with spreadsheets like Excel) and alarms, to up to eight email addresses. The Modbus
TCP and BACnet remote communications options allow communication with PC-based applications, HMI/SCADA
programs, Building Energy Management systems, Distributed Control Systems (DCS), as well as stand-alone HMI
devices.
Two optional WiFi cards are available, one which allows simultaneous Ethernet and WiFi communications, and one
that increases security by disabling Ethernet when WiFi is enabled. The WiFi can be set to Infrastructure Mode to
provide all the Ethernet functions above, or Ad-Hoc Mode to allow access to the programming wirelessly.
Our USB features provide the ability to upgrade the software in the controller to the latest version. The Config file feature
allows you to save all the set points from a controller onto a USB flash disk, and then import them into another controller,
making the programming of multiple controllers fast and easy. The data logging feature allows you to save the sensor
readings and relay activation events to a USB flash disk.

perature is 122°F (50°C); this should be considered if installation is in a high temperature location. The enclosure
requires the following clearances:
General Guidelines
Locate the sensors where an active sample of water is available and where the sensors can easily be removed for
cleaning. Position the sensor such that air bubbles will not be trapped within the sensing area. Position the sensor
where sediment or oil will not accumulate within the sensing area.

m) length. The sensor should be mounted such that the measuring surfaces will always stay wet. If the membrane
dries out, it will respond slowly to changing disinfectant values for 24 hours, and if dried out repeatedly, will fail
prematurely. The flow cell should be placed on the discharge side of a circulation pump or downhill from a grav-
ity feed. Flow into the cell must come from the bottom side that has the ¾” x ¼” NPT reducing bushing installed.
The reducing bushing provides the flow velocity required for accurate readings and must not be removed! A “U”
trap should be installed so that if the flow stops, the sensor is still immersed in the water. The outlet of the flow
cell must be plumbed to open atmosphere unless the system pressure is at or below 1 atmosphere. If the flow
through the line cannot be stopped to allow for cleaning and calibration of the sensor, then it should be placed in
a by-pass line with isolation valves to allow for sensor removal. Install the sensor vertically, with the measuring
surface pointing down, at least 5 degrees above horizontal. Flow rate regulation must be done upstream from the
sensor, because any flow restriction downstream can increase the pressure above atmospheric and damage the
membrane cap!
The corrosion sensor should be placed as close to the controller as possible, to a maximum distance of 100 feet
(30 m) from the controller. A junction box and shielded cable (p/n 100084) are available to extend the standard
6 foot (3 m) or 20 foot (6 m) length. The sensor should not be installed unless the o-rings/electrodes that match
the metallurgy to be examined are attached to the steel threaded rods. Standard corrosion electrodes are 5 cm2
surface area. Do not touch the metal electrodes; they should be clean and free of any scratches, oils or contami-
nation to accurately measure the corrosion. The sensor should be mounted horizontally, such that the measuring
surfaces will always stay completely wet. The sensor should ideally be installed in the side branch of a 1” or ¾”
tee, with the flow entering the tee through the top branch and flowing away from the base of the sensor, towards
the tips of the electrodes. A constant flow rate is required, at a minimum of 1.5 gpm (5.7 lpm) with an ideal flow
rate of 5 gpm (19 lpm). If more than one metal is to be used, the most noble metal should be first.
Important Boiler Sensor Installation Notes: (refer to typical installation drawing)
1. Make sure the minimum water level in the boiler is at least 4-6 inches above the skimmer blowdown line.
If the skimmer line is closer to the surface, it is likely that steam will be drawn into the line instead of boiler
water. The skimmer line must also be installed above the highest tube.
2. Maintain a 3/4 inch minimum pipe ID with no flow restrictions from the tap for the boiler skimmer blow-
down line to the electrode. If the ID is reduced below 3/4 inch, then flashing will occur beyond that point
and the conductivity reading will be low and erratic. Minimize the usage of tees, valves, elbows or unions
between the boiler and the electrode.
3. A manual shut off valve should be installed so that the electrode can be removed and cleaned. This valve
must be a full port valve in order to avoid a flow restriction.
4. Keep the distance between the tap for the boiler skimmer line to the electrode as short as possible, to a maxi-
mum of 10 feet.
5. Mount the electrode in the side branch of a cross in a horizontal run of pipe. This will minimize entrapment
of steam around the electrode and will allow any solids to pass through.
6. There MUST be a flow restriction after the electrode and/or control valve in order to provide back pressure.
This flow restriction will be either a flow control valve or an orifice union. The amount of the flow restric-
tion will affect the blowdown rate as well, and should be sized accordingly.
7. Install the motorized ball valve or solenoid valve per the manufacturer’s instructions.
For best results, align the hole in the conductivity electrode such that the direction of water flow is through the
hole.

is the ratio of TDS in the boiler water to TDS in the feedwater. Note that feedwater means the water that is
fed to the boiler from the deaerator and includes makeup water plus condensate return. Example: 10 cycles
of concentration has been recommended
3. Determine the Required Blowdown Rate in Pounds Per Hour
Blowdown Rate = Steam Production / (Concentration Ratio –1) Example: 3450/(10-1) = 383.33 lbs./hr
4. Determine if Continuous or Intermittent Sampling is Required
Use intermittent sampling when the boiler operation or loading is intermittent, or on boilers where the
required blowdown rate is less than 25% of the smallest available flow control valve or less than the flow
through the smallest orifice. See the graphs on the next page.
Use continuous sampling when the boiler is operating 24 hours per day and the required blowdown rate is
more than 25% of the smallest applicable flow control valve or orifice. See the graphs on the next page.
Use of a flow control valve will give you the best control of the process, since the flow rate can be easily
adjusted. The dial on the valve also gives you a visual indication if the flow rate has been changed. If the
valve clogs, it can be opened to clear the obstruction, and closed to the previous position.
If an orifice plate is used, you must install a valve downstream from the orifice in order to fine tune the flow
rate and provide additional back pressure in many applications.
Example: An 80 psi boiler has a Required Blowdown Rate of 383.33 lbs./hr. The maximum flow rate of the
smallest flow control valve is 3250 lbs./hr. 3250 x 0.25 = 812.5 which is too high for continuous sampling.
Using an orifice, the flow rate through the smallest diameter plate is 1275 lbs./hr. This is too high for continu-
ous sampling.
5. Determine the Orifice or Flow Control Valve Size for this Blowdown Rate

3.5 Electrical installation
The various standard wiring options are shown in figure 5, below. Your controller will arrive from the factory pre-
wired or ready for hardwiring. Depending on your configuration of controller options, you may be required to hard-
wire some or all of the input/output devices. Refer to figures 6 through 19 for circuit board layout and wiring.
Note: when wiring the optional flow meter contactor input, the 4-20 mA outputs or a remote flow switch, it is advis-
able to use stranded, twisted, shielded pair wire between 22-26 AWG. Shield should be terminated at the controller at
the most convenient shield terminal.
CAUTION
1. There are live circuits inside the controller even when the power switch on the front panel is in the OFF posi-
tion! The front panel must never be opened before power to the controller is REMOVED!
If your controller is prewired, it is supplied with an 8 foot, 14 AWG power cord with NEMA 5-15P USA style
plug. A tool (#2 Phillips driver) is required to open the front panel.
2. When mounting the controller, make sure there is clear access to the disconnecting device!
3. The electrical installation of the controller must be done by trained personnel only and conform to all applica-
ble National, State and Local codes!
4. Proper grounding of this product is required. Any attempt to bypass the grounding will compromise the safety
of persons and property.
5. Operating this product in a manner not specified by Walchem may impair the protection provided by the equip-
ment.

Initial Startup
After having mounted the enclosure and wired the unit, the controller is ready to be started. Plug in the controller
and turn on the power switch to supply power to the unit. The display will briefly show the logo and then revert to
the Home display. Refer to section 5 below for more details on each of the settings.
To return Home, Close any active menu and touch the Home tab on the top of the screen.
37
Config Menu (see section 5.4)
Choose language
Touch the Configuration tab on the top of the Home screen. Touch Global Settings. Swipe up or down until the
English word “Language” is displayed and then touch it. Swipe up or down until your language is displayed and
touch it. Touch the Confirm icon to change all menus to your language.
Set date (if necessary)
In the Global Setting menu, swipe up or down until Date is displayed, and then touch it. Highlight the Day, and
then use the numeric touchpad to change the date. Touch the Confirm icon to accept the change.
Set time (if necessary)
In the Global Setting menu, swipe up or down until Time is displayed and then touch it. Highlight the digit to
change, then use the numeric touchpad to change the time. Touch the Confirm icon to accept the change.
Set global units of measure
In the Global Setting menu, swipe up or down until Global Units is displayed and then touch it. Touch the de-
sired units. Touch the Confirm icon to accept the change.
Set temperature units of measure
In the Global Setting menu, swipe up or down until Temp Units is displayed and then touch it. Touch the desired
units. Touch the Confirm icon to accept the change.
Close the Global Settings menu. Touch the Inputs tab.
The S12 temperature input Element should be set correctly once the S11 sensor type has been set. If not, select
the correct temperature element and set the alarm set points and alarm deadband. Generic, ORP and disinfection
sensors do not have temperature signals and are preset to Unassigned.
To calibrate the temperature, return to the S12 Details screen, touch the Calibrate icon, and touch the Enter icon
to perform a calibration. If either input card is a Dual Analog Input card (4-20mA signal), then select the type of
sensor that will be connected. Select Fluorometer if a Little Dipper 2 will be connected. Select AI Monitor if the
device can be calibrated on its own and the Intuition-9™ calibration will only be in units of mA. Select Transmit-
ter if the device connected cannot be calibrated on its own and the Intuition-9™ will need to be used to calibrate
in engineering units of measure.
If a flow switch or liquid level switch is connected, D1 through D12 (whichever one has the device connected
to it) should be set to DI State type (if no switch is connected, select No Sensor). Set the state that will possibly
interlock control outputs (refer to the Outputs settings to program which outputs, if any, will be interlocked by
the switch). Set the state, if any, that will result in an alarm.
If a contacting head or paddlewheel flow meter is connected, D1 through D12 (whichever one has the device
connected to it) should be set to that type (if no flow meter is connected, select No Sensor). Set the units of mea-
sure, volume/contact or K factor, etc.
38
Calibrate the sensor
To calibrate the sensor, return to the list of inputs, touch the sensor to calibrate, touch the Calibrate icon, and
select one of the calibration routines. For disinfection and Generic sensors, start with the Zero Calibration. For
electrodeless conductivity, start with the Air Calibration. Refer to section 5.2.
Touch the Main Menu icon. Touch the Outputs icon.
If you want the output to be interlocked by a flow switch or by another output being active, enter the Interlock
Channels menu and select the input or output channel that will interlock this output.
The default is for the output to be in Off mode, where the output does not react to the settings. Once all settings
for that output are complete, enter the HOA Setting menu and change it to Auto.
Repeat for each output.
From the Configuration tab, touch Display Settings, and then Edit Home Screen Layout. Touch the parameter
name to change the parameter shown. Touch the Split icons to make two smaller cards from one larger card, or
touch the Merge icons to make two smaller cards into one larger one. Select the parameter to be shown in each
card. Swipe to the next page and add more cards if desired. Use the delete icon to remove everything from that
half-screen display panel. Use the Move Up or Down icons to move the entire display panel up or down.
Touch the Confirm icon to save the changes or Close to cancel the setting changes.
Normal Startup
Startup is a simple process once your set points are in memory. Simply check your supply of chemicals, turn on
the controller, calibrate it if necessary and it will start controlling.
39
5.0 OPERATION using the touchscreen
These units control continuously while power is applied. Programming is accomplished either via the touchscreen or
the optional Ethernet connection. See section 6.0 for Ethernet instructions.
To view the readings of each sensor, or whatever user-defined list of parameters that has been set, touch the Home
icon if not already there. The menus for each of these parameters may be accessed directly by touching the parameter.
Keep in mind that even while browsing through menus, the unit is still controlling.
The menu structure is grouped by alarms, inputs and outputs, graphs and HOA. Under the Configuration menu will be
general settings such as the clock, the language, etc. that do not have an input or output associated with it. Each input has
its own menu for calibration and unit selection as needed. Each output has its own setup menu including set points, timer
values and operating modes as needed.Each output has its own setup menu including set points, timer values and operat-
ing modes as needed.

Total Alarm
The Intuition-9™ monitors the total feed and activates a Total Alarm if the value exceeds the Totalizer Alarm set
point. When used in conjunction with Scheduled Reset selections (Daily, Monthly, or Annually), this alarm can be
used to alert users to situations where excess chemical product is used and/or to discontinue chemical feed if the
amount exceeds the set point during the specified time period.
While a Total Alarm is active, the linked pump will be controlled based on the Total Alarm Mode setting:
Interlock The output will be OFF while the alarm is active.
Maintain The alarm condition has no effect on output control.
63
If desired, a user can configure the feed monitor to attempt to reprime the pump when a Flow Verify alarm first is
activated.
The Reprime Time (MM:SS) specifies the amount of time that the output should be energized after the initiation of
a Flow Verify alarm. If the linked output is a solid state relay (set to a pulse proportional or PID control mode) or
an analog 4-20 mA output, the output will be set to the Max Output percent during the reprime event. If the Flow
Verify alarm is cleared during the reprime event (because the specified number of pulses was registered), the reprime
event will be immediately ended and normal control of the output channel will be restored.
While a Flow Verify alarm is active, the linked pump will be controlled based on the Flow Alarm Mode setting:
Disabled Flow Verify alarms are not monitored, no change in output control.
Interlock The output will be forced OFF while the alarm is active.(except during the reprime event)
Maintain The alarm condition has no effect on output control. (except during the reprime event)
If a Flow Verify alarm is active and Interlock is selected, the output to the pump will be turned off after the specified
Reprime Time and only operator actions can restore normal control operations. In most cases, action will be taken
to manually reprime the pump, refill the chemical tank, etc. and the output will be put into Hand mode to confirm
proper operation of the pump. When the Feed Monitor registers sufficient pulses, the Flow Verify alarm will clear
and the pump output can be put back into Auto Mode.
If both Total Alarm and Flow Verify alarms are active simultaneously, an Interlock selection for either mode setting
will take precedence for pump control. Automatic output control will continue despite the alarm conditions only if
Maintain is selected for both mode settings.

“Activate With” Conditions
“Activate with channels” settings override the relay control, but do not change the operation of the timers or
related bleed control. The biocide timer continues counting biocide add time when the biocide relay is forced on,
and ends at the expected time (biocide event start time plus duration). If the “activate with” condition continues
after the end of the biocide feed time, the relay remains activated.
Alarms
An Event Skipped alarm is set when a second biocide event occurs while one event is still running (either in
prebleed, biocide add or post-biocide add lockout).
An Event Skipped alarm is also set when the biocide add relay never turns on during a biocide add because of an
interlock condition.
The alarm is cleared when the relay is next activated for any reason (the next timer event or HAND mode or
“activate with” force on condition).

The relay goes through a sequence of activation/deactivation as described below. The intended purpose of this
algorithm is boiler blowdown. A sample cannot be supplied to the sensor continuously in many boilers because
a recirculating loop is not possible, and it would be a waste of hot water to constantly run a sample to a drain. A
valve is opened intermittently to supply a sample to the sensor.
Where a non-ideal installation of the sensor can cause the sample to flash to steam, and give a false low reading,
this can be corrected by taking the reading with the sample held in the pipe with the sampling valve closed, so the
sample is at boiler pressure and therefore back in the liquid state. Enable Trap Sample if this is the case. Because
the conductivity reading cannot be trusted while the valve is open, the blowdown is timed rather than in direct re-
sponse to a sensor reading. Rather than relying upon a fixed time, where the blowdown could be much longer than
necessary if the reading is just barely off the set point value, proportional blowdown adjusts the time appropriately.
If Trap Sample is Disabled, then the blowdown is not timed, and the Hold Time and Maximum Blowdown time are
not used. The blowdown valve will stay open until the conductivity is below set point. In this case the Output Time
Limit menu is available to stop the blowdown if the sensor is unresponsive.
Note that the software will not allow two relays using Intermittent Sampling to be assigned to the same sensor
input; the previous relay set up will change to Off mode.
Output Details
The details for this type of output include the relay on/off state, relay status (HOA mode, Interlock status,
Intermittent Sampling cycle step, etc.), time remaining for the active Intermittent Sampling cycle step, alarms
related to this output, current cycle on time, relay type, the live reading of the conductivity, and the current control

Set point Enter the conductivity value below which the controller will not start a blowdown cycle.

uS/cm, and the Proportional Band is 200 uS/cm, then if the conductivity is above 2200
uS/cm the blowdown valve will open for the Maximum Blowdown time described be-
low. If the conductivity of the trapped sample is 2100 uS/cm, the blowdown valve will
open for half the Maximum Blowdown time.
Deadband (only shown if trap sample is disabled) Enter the sensor process value away from the
set point at which the relay will deactivate.
Sample Time Enter the length of time the blowdown valve will be open in order to capture a fresh
sample of boiler water.
Hold Time (only shown if trap sample is enabled) Enter the length of time the blowdown valve
will be closed in order to ensure that the captured sample is at boiler pressure.

by default). This condition is referred to as Control Wind-Up and can result severe overshoot or undershoot after a
prolonged upset has ended.
For example, if the process value remains far below the set point despite a control output being pinned at 100%,
the Current Integral will continue to accumulate errors (wind-up). When the process value finally rises to above the
set point, negative errors will begin to decrease the Current Integral value. However, the value may remain large
enough to keep the output at 100% long after the set point is satisfied. The controller will overshoot the set point
and the process value will continue to rise.
To optimize system recovery after wind-up situations, the controller suppresses updates to the Current Integral
that would drive the output beyond its minimum or maximum limit. Ideally, the PID parameters will be tuned
and the control elements (pump, valves, etc.) will be sized properly so that the output never reaches its minimum
or maximum limit during normal control operations. But with this wind-up suppression feature, overshoot will be
minimized should that situation occur.

Set Point Numeric entry of a process value used as a target for PID control. The default value,
units and display format (number of decimal places) used during data entry are defined
based on the Input channel setting selected.
Gain When the Gain Form setting is Standard, this unitless value is multiplied by the total
of the proportional, integral, and derivative terms to determine the calculated output
percent.
Proportional Gain When the Gain Form setting is Parallel, this unitless value is multiplied by the normalized
error (current process value versus set point) to determine the proportional component of
the calculated output percent.
Integral Time When the Gain Form setting is Standard, this value is divided into the integral of the
normalized error (area under the error curve), then multiplied by the Gain to determine
the integral component of the calculated output percent.
Integral Gain When the Gain Form setting is Parallel, this value is multiplied by the integral of the
normalized error (area under the error curve) to determine the integral component of
the calculated output percent.
Derivative Time When the Gain Form setting is Standard, this value is multiplied by the change in error
between the current reading and the previous reading, then multiplied by the Gain to
determine the derivative component of the calculated output percent.
Derivative Gain When the Gain Form setting is Parallel, this value is multiplied by the change in error
between the current reading and the previous reading to determine the derivative
component of the calculated output percent.
Reset PID Integral The PID Integral Value is a running total of the accumulated area under the error curve

5.3.17 Relay or Control Outputs, Spike Control Mode
Basic Timer Operation
This algorithm is typically used to provide a baseline amount of chlorine for disinfection, and periodically shocking
the system with a larger dose. During normal operation, the relay will be reacting to the sensor to maintain a set point
within a programmable Deadband, as described in On/Off Control Mode above. When a Spike event triggers, the
algorithm will change from the normal set point to the Spike Set Point, for the programmed time. Once the time
expires, control to the normal set point resumes. The Onset Time setting allows the user to decide if the programmed
spike duration time starts counting down immediately, or if the controller will wait until the higher set point is
achieved
(or the onset time expires, whichever comes first) before starting the spike Duration timer.

Onset Time The onset time determines when the duration timer starts. If set to zero, the dura-
tion time starts immediately. If set higher than that, the controller will not start the
duration timer until the spike set point is achieved, or until the onset time is over,
whichever comes first.
Duty Cycle Period Using a duty cycle helps to prevent overshooting the set point in applications
where the response of the sensor to chemical additions is slow. Specify the amount
of time for the cycle, and the percentage of that cycle time that the relay will be
active. The relay will be off for the rest of the cycle, even if the set point has not
been satisfied.

The user enters the target PPM and the data necessary to calculate the proportional band (the water flow rate at
which the maximum pulse rate will occur) required to maintain the target PPM with that flow rate of water.
Control Operation
As flow accumulates, the controller updates a field called Accumulator Total. When this value is greater than or
equal to the value set for the Accumulator Volume, the relay activates for the calculated number of seconds, and the
accumulated total is reduced by the accumulator volume amount.
If the trigger volume is achieved again before the activation time has expired, the newly calculated on-time per
unit volume is added to the remaining on-time. If the relay state is continuously on for longer than the Output Time
Limit, then relay will deactivate.
Output Details
The details for this type of output include the relay on/off state, HOA mode or Interlock status, total accumulated
on-time, alarms related to this output, current cycle on time, remaining on-time, accumulator total, disturbance
input value (if used) and adjusted target setpoint (if disturbance input is used), cycles of concentration, relay type

A Lead Lag group consists of a single Lead output and one or more Lag outputs. The Lead output can be set to any
control mode. The new Lag control mode can be selected for any number of additional outputs (limited only by the
number of outputs available within the controller). A setting for each Lag output allows selection of a Lead output
that is used to create an ordered group of Lead Lag relays.
Example: R1 is an On/Off relay, R2 is set for Lag mode with a Lead output of R1. R3 is set as an additional
Lag mode relay with a Lead output of R2, thus creating an ordered chain of three relays in the Lead Lag group
(R1←R2←R3). After the group is defined, the Lead output (R1) operates with the standard On/Off Control func-
tionality. The last Lag mode relay in the chain (R3) offers various settings that are used to define the desired control
operations for the entire Lead Lag group. Selectable Lead Lag control options include backup, wear leveling, and/
or activating additional outputs based on various criteria.
92
Switch change (for example, energize a second pump to maintain a tank level when the low-low level switch opens
Control Operation
Backup Pump Control
The default control operation for the Lead Lag group is that if a condition exists that prevents one relay from being
activated, it is skipped and the next output in the group is turned on instead. This situation may occur if the output
is experiencing an active Flow Verify alarm or the output is not in Auto mode. Backup control using a Lag output
does not require any additional settings and could be used to create an output for a backup pump to be activated
only if the main pump loses prime and/or is taken out of service for maintenance.
Example: A Lead Lag group consisting of R1, R2 & R3 is configured (R1←R2←R3). All three pumps have Posi-
Flow monitors wired to inputs D1, D2 & D3, respectively. R1 uses On/Off mode to control caustic feed to maintain
a pH set point above 7.0. R1 and R3 pumps are in Auto mode, R2 pump has been taken out of service for mainte-
nance and is currently in HOA Off mode. The process pH falls below 7.0 and R1 is energized. Before the pH rises
to satisfy the dead band, the D1 PosiFlow input monitors an error condition and activates a Flow Verify alarm for
the R1 pump. The Lead Lag system de-energizes R1 and checks the status of R2. Because R2 is not is service, R3
is energized to maintain caustic feed.
Each digital input channel set up as a Feed Monitor type has a Flow Alarm Mode setting used to specify how the
pump output is handled when Flow Verify alarms are identified. Based on this setting, the Lead Lag group responds
as follows:
Disabled The Flow Verify alarm is never activated and the Lead Lag group is not affected by
the status of the PosiFlow input.
Interlock When a Flow Verify alarm is activated, the related output is immediately turned
off; if available, other outputs in the Lead Lag group are activated instead.
Maintain When a Flow Verify alarm is activated, other outputs in the Lead Lag group are ac-
tivated instead if they are available; if no other outputs are available, or if addition-
al outputs are required due to Output Activation Mode settings, output(s) reporting
a Flow Verify alarm may still be activated as a last resort.
Time Balanced
Time balanced mode alternates outputs in a manner that equalizes the runtime of all connected pumps. This mode
takes into account how long each output in the Lead Lag group has been running (since a manual reset) and selects
the output that has the lowest on-time during each cycle. If the output remains energized longer than the specified
cycle time, the time-on for each output is recalculated and a different output may be activated to balance the usage
of each.
Example: In a two-pump Lead Lag group, time balanced wear leveling is selected with a cycle time of 2 hours.
93
When the Lead control mode (R1) determines the output should be activated, R2 turns on because it has the lowest
accumulated on-time. After 2 hours, if the output remains activated, the on-times are re evaluated and R2 turns off
and R1 turns on because it now has the least accumulated total on time. The cycle continues until the Lead control
mode determines the feed is complete.
Time Unbalanced
This wear leveling mode improves fault-tolerance of the group by varying the wear on each pump by activating
each pump for a different percentage of time. In this mode, a primary output is activated most of the time and sec-
ondary (auxiliary) output(s) are activated for a smaller percentage of the total output on-time. This strategy can be
useful to ensure that a backup pump is exercised sufficiently so that it will be functional when needed, but does not
wear at the same rate as the primary pump to minimize the chances of both pumps failing at the same time. When
one Lag pump is defined within the Lead Lag group, the Lead pump runs 60% of the time and the Lag pump runs
40%. If more than two (2) pumps are defined for the group, fixed ratios are used to insure all pumps are exercised
periodically and wear at different rates, as shown in the chart.
Disabled
No action is taken to activate more than one output within the Lead Lag group of outputs. This mode is used when
a group of Lead Lag outputs exists only to provide backup in case of a Flow Verify failure on one of the pumps, or
if a pump is taken out of service, and/or if only wear leveling is desired.
Time Based
Lag outputs are activated following the Lead output after a user-settable delay. The same delay value is used for
all outputs. This menu selection is available only when the Lead output is using On/Off, Dual Setpoint, Spike or
Manual control modes.
Example: If the Lead output is set to Manual, this control option could be used to force on the output based on a
digital input signal (e.g., level switch). If the level switch remains open for more than the specified delay time, the
second output in the Lead Lag group is energized. If another delay time elapses, a third output (if available) is also
turned on.
In On/Off, Dual Setpoint, or Spike control modes, additional pump(s) are energized if the process value remains
outside the setpoint range for more than the specified delay time.
Example: In a two-output Lead Lag group (R1←R2), the Lead (R1) output, set for Dual Setpoint control, is pro-
grammed to energize its output when the D.O. reading is outside the 4.0-4.5 ppb control range with a deadband of
0.1 ppb. Time based output activation is selected with a delay time of 15 minutes. When the D.O. value falls below
4.0 ppb, R1 is activated. After 15 minutes, if the D.O. has not risen to 4.1 ppb or higher, R2 will also be activated.
When the process value reaches 4.1 ppb, both outputs are turned off.
Setpoint Based
Each Lag output has its own setpoint(s) and deadband when this option is selected. The setpoints for each output
94
in the Lead Lag group are evaluated individually and outputs are added as needed based on the current process
value. Setpoint based activation mode also incorporates time based activation and can also be configured to trigger
an additional pump (if available) after a specified delay time. This menu selection is available only when the Lead
output is using On/Off or Dual Setpoint control modes.
Example 1: The Lead output (R1) is set for On/Off control of pH with a setpoint of 8.50, a deadband of 0.20 and
a “force lower” control direction. The first Lag output (R2) has a setpoint of 9.00 and a deadband of 0.20. The
second Lag output (R3) has a setpoint of 9.50 and a deadband of 0.20. The delay time is disabled (set for 0:00 min-
utes). Wear leveling is disabled. When the pH goes above 8.50, R1 energizes. If the pH proceeds to exceed 9.00, R2
energizes. And if the pH rises above 9.50, R3 energizes. When the pH decreases to below 9.30, R3 goes off. When
the pH falls to below 8.80, R2 goes off. And finally, when the pH decreases to below 8.30, R1 is turned off.
Example 2: The same three-pump configuration (R1←R2←R3) as in Example 1 except the delay time is set for 30
minutes. When the pH goes above 8.50, R1 energizes. If 30 minutes passes before the pH exceeds 9.00 or drops
below 8.30, R1 remains on and R2 is energized. If the pH then rises above 9.00, the next output in the group, R3, is
energized. If the pH continues to rise and exceeds 9.50, no additional action is possible. When the pH decreases to
below 8.80, R3 goes off. When the pH falls to below 8.30, both R1 and R2 are turned off.
This control is very similar to the operation if three (3) separate On/Off control outputs are configured all with the
pH as Input and using the setpoints listed above. However, the Lead Lag option improves on this control by incor-
porating backup pump controls and optional time based activation. If the pH rises above 8.50 when pump R1 has
an active Flow Verify alarm or is in HOA Off mode, pump R2 immediately energizes. R3 energizes when the pH
goes above 9.00. Although no third pump is available to activate if the pH continues to rise above 9.50, this control
system is more fault tolerant than the currently available options.
Switch Based
When using switch based activation mode, each Lag output has an Activate With Channels setting that is used
to specify one or more digital input or relay output channels that activates an additional output. Switch based
activation mode incorporates time based activation and can also be configured to trigger an additional output (if
available) after a specified delay time. This menu selection is available only when the Lead output is using Manual
control mode.
Example 1: A lift station includes a tank with a high level switch (D1) and a high-high level switch (D2). Three
pumps are configured as a Lead Lag group (R1←R2←R3). The Lead output (R1) is set for Manual control mode
with an Activate With Channels selection of D1 (high level switch), R1 will be energized if D1 closes. The first Lag
output (R2) has an Activate With Channels selection of D2 (high-high level switch). The last Lag output (R3) has
no Activate With Channels selected. All pumps are in HOA Auto mode. The delay time is disabled (set for 0:00
minutes). Wear leveling is disabled. When the high level switch closes, the R1 pump is activated. If the high-high
level switch closes, the R2 pump is also activated. When D2 opens, R2 is turned off. When D1 opens, R1 is turned
off. In this configuration, the R3 pump serves only as a backup in case one of the pumps is down for maintenance
(in HOA Off mode).
Example 2: The same lift station, two-level switches, three-pump configuration (R1←R2←R3) as in Example 1
except the delay time is set for 1 hour. When the high level switch closes, the R1 pump is activated. If the high-high
level switch closes, the R2 pump is also activated. If the tank level remains above the high-high level switch for
another 1 hour, the R3 pump is activated. When D2 opens, R3 is turned off. When D1 opens, both R2 and R1 are
turned off. In this configuration, the R3 pump serves not only as a backup in case one of the pumps is down for
maintenance, but also provides additional capacity should it be needed.
Advanced Functionality
The examples listed above detail the control behavior if wear leveling or output activation modes are enabled. The
features are implemented independently. Wear Leveling modes are used to determine which output(s) are activated.
Output Activation modes determine how many output(s) are activated at one time. More advanced output control
strategies can be implemented when these features are used in combination.
Example: In a two-pump scenario, the Lead output (R1) is set for On/Off control of pH with a setpoint of 8.50,
deadband of 0.20 and a “force lower” control direction. The Lag output (R2) has a setpoint of 9.00 and a dead-
95
band of 0.20. Time unbalanced (60/40) wear leveling is selected with a cycle time of 15 minutes. When the pH goes
above 8.50, the on-times for each pump are evaluated. If R1 has been on less than 80% of the total time for the two
pumps, it is energized. Otherwise, R2 has been on for less than 20% of the total time, so it is energized. If the pH
remains above the deadband and does not exceed the second setpoint (8.30 < pH < 9.00), the pump selection is
re-evaluated every 15 minutes and, if warranted, the pump in operation is switched. If the pH proceeds to exceed
9.00, both pumps are energized and wear leveling is no longer a consideration. When the pH fails to below 8.80,
the pump on-times are again evaluated and the appropriate pump is turned off.
Note that while this control is quite powerful, it might cause confusion with users because the setpoints entered
for a specific pump within the Lead Lag group may not coincide with the setpoints used to activate that particular
pump during operation. The information shown on the Details pages for each pump should be sufficient to mini-
mize this ambiguity.
Control Mode Conflicts
Some control modes are incompatible with Lag output functionality because of an interactive relationship between
the output and one or more linked inputs:
• Intermittent Sampling – This control mode places a linked sensor into a Hold state during most of its operational
cycle
• Probe Wash – This control mode places one or two linked sensors into a Hold state when a wash cycle is in
progress and for a specified Hold period afterward
The link between the output and the sensor input(s) cannot be easily transferred to other outputs, so these types of
control modes cannot be designated as Lead output for a Lead Lag group. Outputs configured with these types of
control modes are not included on the selection list presented for Lead output. Also, the control mode of an output
that is the Lead output for a Lead Lag group cannot be changed to one of these types. If selected, the controller will
be unable to save the change and an error message will be added to system log.
Output Details
The details for this type of output include the relay on/off state, relay status (HOA mode, Interlock from sensor cal-
ibration, probe wash, or other condition), the current cycle and the total on-times, alarms related to this output, the
output defined as the Lead of the group, the output that is the Last Lag output of the group, the number of outputs
currently energized within the group, the elapsed time since the last change in the number of outputs energized, the
elapsed time since the last wear leveling evaluation, the type of output, and the current control mode setting.

Several standard settings that are available for most control modes are not available for Lag outputs. These features
affect the entire Lead Lag group and can be specified only within the Lead output’s settings. The settings for these
fields are propagated down through the entire Lead Lag group when changed for the Lead output. Although the
settings for these fields are identical for all outputs in the Lead Lag group, the handling by each Lag output may be
independent or group-managed.
Below are the settings that are in the Lead Relay settings that will affect the Lead Lag group:
Interlock Channels Select the relays and digital inputs that will interlock this relay and all others in the
group.
Min Relay Cycle Enter the number of seconds that will be minimum amount of time that each relay in
the group will be in the active or inactive state.
Normally this will be set to 0, but if using a motorized ball valve that takes time to
open and close, set this high enough that the valve has time to complete its movement.
Hand Time Limit Enter the amount of time that each relay in the group will activate for when it is in
Hand mode.
Hand Output This menu only appears for pulse relay or analog output Lead outputs.
Enter the output % desired for each output in the group when the output is in Hand
mode.
97
Off Mode Output This menu only appears for analog output Lead outputs.Enter the output mA value de-
sired for each output in the group when the output is in Off mode, or being Interlocked,
or during a calibration of the sensor being used as an input. The acceptable range is 0 to
21 mA.
Error Output This menu only appears for analog output Lead outputs.Enter the output mA desired for
each output in the group when the sensor is not giving the controller a valid signal. The
acceptable range is 0 to 21 mA.
The Activate With Channels setting, normally available for all outputs, is not propagated through the Lead Lag
group. This field can be entered independently for each Lag Output when the control mode of the Lead output is
Manual and the activation mode is Switch Based.
Most other settings for the various types of Lead control modes are managed independently from other outputs
within a Lead Lag group. In most cases, no Activation Mode settings are available, so the Lead output determines
the status for the entire group based on its settings and the current controller parameters. However, when an
Activation Mode is enabled, the handling of some settings may require some additional explanation. For example,
• Duty Cycle - If a Lead output with a control mode of On/Off or Dual Setpoint has a Duty Cycle setting of less
that 100%, this cycle will be managed for the Lead output only. The Duty Cycle will drive other Lag
• outputs for Backup or Wear Leveling purposes. However, if additional Lag Output(s) are energized due to
• Setpoint-Based or Time-Based Activation Mode settings, the additional outputs will operate independently of
the Duty Cycle setting. The Lead output will continue to cycle On and Off, however, the additional outputs
• will remain activated with 100% duty cycle until the setpoint deadband is satisfied.
• On Delay / Off Delay - If the Lead output with a control mode of On/Off, Dual Setpoint, or Manual has ei-
ther an On or Off Delay Time setting specified, the delay will be managed for the Lead output only. If one or
more Lag outputs provide Backup or Wear Leveling support, the Delay Times would also effect these outputs.
However, if additional Lag Output(s) are energized due to Activation Mode settings, the additional outputs will
operate independently of the On or Off Delay Time setting(s) and will energize and de-energize without delay
when needed.

Overview
In Flow Proportional control mode, the controller monitors the rate of flow through an analog or digital flow meter,
and continuously adjusts the analog (4-20 mA) output proportional band to achieve a target PPM level.
The user enters the target PPM and the data necessary to calculate the proportional band (the water flow rate at
which the maximum pulse rate will occur) required to maintain the target PPM with that flow rate of water.
100
% output = Target PPM x Water Flow Rate (liter/min or gal/min)
Cycles x Pump Rating (liter or gal/hr) x Pump Setting (%) x Specific Gravity x 166.67
Control Operation
If the output is continuously on for longer than the Output Time Limit, then output will deactivate.
Output Details
The details for this type of output include the output %, HOA mode or Interlock status, alarms related to this out-
put, current cycle on time, total accumulated on-time, cycles of concentration, mA output, and the current control
mode setting.
Settings
Touch the Edit icon to view or change the settings related to the output.
Target Enter the desired PPM set point for the product.
Pump Capacity Enter the maximum flow rate for the metering pump.

Specific Gravity Enter the specific gravity of the product to be added.
Hand Output Enter the output % desired when the output is in Hand mode.
Off Mode Output Enter the output mA value desired when the output is in Off mode, or being Interlocked, or
during a calibration of the sensor being used as an input. The acceptable range is 0 to 21 mA.
Error Output Enter the output mA desired when the sensor is not giving the controller a valid signal.
The acceptable range is 0 to 21 mA.
Flow Input Select the flow meter to be used as an input for this control relay.
Cycles Input Select the virtual input that is programmed as a Ratio calculation of the system
conductivity/makeup conductivity, or select None.
Low Cycles Limit Enter the lower limit for cycles of concentration, if used. The calculated on-time is limited
to a maximum value if the cycles of concentration gets too low.
Normalized Error
The error value versus set point that is calculated by the controller is normalized and represented as percent of full
scale. As a result, tuning parameters entered by the user are not dependent upon the scale of the process variable
and the PID response with similar settings will be more consistent even when using different types of sensor
inputs.
The scale used to normalize the error is dependent upon the type of sensor selected. By default, the full nominal
range of the sensor is used. This range is editable by the user if tighter control is desired.
101
PID Equation Formats
The controller supports two different forms of the PID equation as specified by the Gain Form setting. The two
forms require different units for entry of the PID tuning parameters.
Standard
The standard form is more commonly used in industry because its time-based settings for the integral and deriva-
tive coefficients are more meaningful. This form is selected by default.
Parameter Description Units
Kp Gain unitless
Ti Integral Time seconds or seconds/repeat
Td Derivative Gain seconds
Parallel
The parallel form allows the user to enter all parameters as Gains. In all cases, larger gain values result in faster
output response. This form is used in the WebMaster controller and is used internally by the Control Module.
Parameter Description Units
Kp Proportional Gain unitless
Ki Integral Gain 1/ seconds
Kd Derivative Gain seconds
Settings
Touch the Edit icon to view or change the settings related to the output.
Set Point Numeric entry of a process value used as a target for PID control. The default value,
units and display format (number of decimal places) used during data entry are defined
based on the Input channel setting selected.
Gain When the Gain Form setting is Standard, this unitless value is multiplied by the total of
the proportional, integral, and derivative terms to determine the calculated output percent.
Proportional Gain When the Gain Form setting is Parallel, this unitless value is multiplied by the normalized
error (current process value versus set point) to determine the proportional component of
the calculated output percent.
Integral Time When the Gain Form setting is Standard, this value is divided into the integral of the
normalized error (area under the error curve), then multiplied by the Gain to determine
the integral component of the calculated output percent.
Integral Gain When the Gain Form setting is Parallel, this value is multiplied by the integral of the
normalized error (area under the error curve) to determine the integral component of
the calculated output percent.
Derivative Time When the Gain Form setting is Standard, this value is multiplied by the change in error
between the current reading and the previous reading, then multiplied by the Gain to
determine the derivative component of the calculated output percent.
Derivative Gain When the Gain Form setting is Parallel, this value is multiplied by the change in error
between the current reading and the previous reading to determine the derivative com-
ponent of the calculated output percent.
Reset PID Integral The PID Integral Value is a running total of the accumulated area under the error curve
(Current Integral). When this menu option is selected, this total is set to zero and the
PID algorithm is reset to its initial state.
Minimum Output Enter the lowest possible output value (normally 0%).
Maximum Output Enter the highest possible output value as a percentage.
103
Off Mode Output Enter the output mA value desired when the output is in Off mode, or being Inter-
locked, or if the Output Time Limit has expired, or during a calibration of the sensor
being used as an input. Also if there is a Probe Wash programmed for the sensor, and
the Sensor Mode option is set to Disable the output during the Wash cycle (if the Sen-
sor Mode option is set to Hold the output holds its last setting and the Integral is not
updated during the Wash). The acceptable range is 0 to 21 mA.
Error Output Enter the output mA desired when the sensor is not giving the controller a valid signal.
The acceptable range is 0 to 21 mA.
Input Select the sensor to be used by this output.
Direction Set the control direction. This setting is used to determine the sign of the calculated
error (current process value versus set point) and allows flexible control with only
positive values for all PID tuning parameters.
Input Minimum The low end of the sensor input range, used to normalize errors into percent of full scale
units. These values are set to the nominal range of the selected input sensor by default.
Input Maximum The high end of the sensor input range, used to normalize errors into percent of full scale
units. These values are set to the nominal range of the selected input sensor by default.
Gain Form Select the PID Equation Format used to enter tuning parameters.

7.1 Electrode Cleaning
NOTE: The controller must be recalibrated after cleaning the electrode.
Frequency
The electrode should be cleaned periodically. The frequency required will vary by installation. In a new installa
tion, it is recommended that the electrode be cleaned after two weeks of service. To determine how often the elec
trode must be cleaned, follow the procedure below.
If the variance in readings is greater than 5%, increase the frequency of electrode cleaning. If there is less than 5%
change in the reading, the electrode was not dirty and can be cleaned less often.
Cleaning Procedure
The electrode can normally be cleaned using a cloth or paper towel and a mild detergent. If coated with scale,
clean with a dilute (5%) solution of hydrochloric acid solution. Occasionally an electrode may become coated
with various substances that require a more vigorous cleaning procedure. Usually the coating will be visible, but
not always. To clean a coated electrode, use fine grit abrasive, such as emery paper. Lay the paper on a flat surface
and move the electrode in a back and forth motion. The electrode should be cleaned parallel to the carbon elec
trodes, not perpendicular.
Clean in this
direction
Locate the fuse on the circuit board at the back of the controller enclosure under the plastic safety cover. Gently
remove the old fuse from its retaining clip and discard. Press the new fuse into the clip, secure the front panel of
the controller and return power to the unit.
Warning: Use of non-approved fuses can affect product safety approvals. Specifications are shown below. To
insure product safety certifications are maintained, it is recommended that a Walchem fuse be used.
119
7.3 Replacing the System Fuse (For model codes with relay option 8 or 9 only)
Locate the system fuse on the lower right-hand corner of the circuit board at the back of the controller enclosure
under the plastic safety cover. Gently remove the old fuse from its retaining clip and discard. Press the new fuse
into the clip, secure the front panel of the controller and return power to the unit.
Warning: Use of non-approved fuses can affect product safety approvals. Specifications are shown below. To en-
sure product safety certifications are maintained, it is recommended that a Walchem fuse be used.
For Relay Option 8: FUSE, 15A, 5x20mm, Fast Acting 250V Walchem P/N 104442
For Relay Option 9: FUSE, 20A, 5x20mm, Slow Blow 250V Walchem P/N 104443
