DANGER
Fire hazard. Install a 15 A circuit breaker in the power line. A circuit breaker can be the local power disconnect, if located in close proximity to the equipment.

DANGER Electrocution hazard. Protective Earth Ground (PE) connection is required.

WARNING
Electrocution hazard. Make sure that there is easy access to the local power disconnect.
Connect the power cord on the AWRS. The refrigerator starts after a 5-minute delay. Use a power line filter or connect the power cord for the controller to a different branch circuit to decrease the possibility of electrical transients.

Controller connections

WARNING

• Electrical shock hazard. Externally connected equipment must have an applicable country safety standard assessment.
• Figure 10 shows the electrical connectors on the controller.

off port

Connect a Sigma 950 or FL900
If sample pacing is flow based, supply the controller with a flow input signal (pulse or 4–20 mA). Connect a Sigma 950 or an FL900 Flow Logger to the AUX I/O port.
As an alternative, connect a flow sensor to a sensor port. Refer to Connect a sensor on page 19.

Item to collect: Multi-purpose auxiliary full cable, 7 pin

1. Connect one end of the cable to the flow meter. Refer to the flow meter documentation.
2. Connect the other end of the cable to the AUX I/O port on the controller.

Connect a non-Hach flow meter
To connect a non-Hach flow meter to the AUX I/O port, do the steps that follow.

Items to collect: Multi-purpose auxiliary half cable, 7 pin

1. Connect one end of the cable to the AUX I/O port on the controller.
2. Connect the other end of the cable to the flow meter. Refer to Figure 11 and Table 1.

Note: In some installations, it is necessary to connect external equipment to the Pulse input, Special output and/or Program Complete output with long cables. Since these are ground-referenced pulse interfaces, false signaling can be caused by transient ground differences between each end of the cable. High ground differentials are typical in heavy industrial environments. In such environments, it may be necessary to use third-party galvanic isolators (e.g., optocouplers) in line with the affected signal(s). For the Analog input, external ground isolation is typically not necessary because the 4–20 mA transmitter typically supplies isolation.

Half cable wiring information

Battery power to the I/O module: 12 VDC nominal; Power supply to the I/O module: 15 at 1.0 A maximum.
2| Common| Blue| Negative return of power supply. When the power supply is used, pin 2 is connected to earth ground5.
3| Pulse input or Analog input| Orange| This signal is a sample collection trigger from the flow logger (pulse or 4–20 mA) or a simple floating (dry) contact closure.| Pulse input —Reacts to a positive pulse with respect to pin 2. Termination (pulled low): pin 2 through a series 1 kΩ resistor and 10 kΩ resistor. A 7.5 zener diode is in parallel with the 10 kΩ resistor as a protection device.
Analog input —Reacts to the analog signal that enters pin 3 and returns on pin 2. Input burden: 100 Ω plus 0.4 V; Input current (internal limit): 40 to 50 mA maximum6 Absolute maximum input: 0 to 15 VDC with respect to pin 2. Signal to make the input active: 5 to 15 V positive-going pulse7 with respect to pin 2, 50 millisecond minimum.
4| Liquid level input or Auxiliary control input| Black| Liquid level input —Start or continue the sampling program. A simple float level switch can supply input.
Auxiliary control input —Start a sampler after the sampling program on another sampler ends. As an alternative, start a sampler when a trigger condition occurs. For example, when a high or low pH condition occurs, the sampling program starts.| Termination (pulled high): internal +5 V supply through an 11 kΩ resistance with a series 1 kΩ resistor and 7.5 V zener diode terminated to pin 2 for protection. Trigger: High to low voltage with a low pulse of 50 milliseconds minimum. Absolute maximum input: 0 to 15 VDC with respect to pin 2. Signal to make the input active: external logic signal with 5 to 15 VDC power source. The drive signal must be typically high. The external driver must be able to sink 0.5 mA at 1 VDC maximum at the logic low level. A logic high signal from a driver with a power source of more than 7.5 V will source current into this input at the rate of: I = (V – 7.5)/1000 where I is the source current and V is the power supply voltage of the driving logic. Dry contact (switch) closure: 50 millisecond minimum between pin 4 and pin 2. Contact resistance: 2 kΩ maximum. Contact current: 0.5 mA DC maximum
---|---|---|---|---
5| Special output| Red| This output goes from 0 to +12 VDC with respect to pin 2 after each sample cycle. Refer to the Mode setting of the hardware settings for the AUX I/O port. Refer to the AS950 operations documentation.| This output has protection against short circuit currents to pin 2. External load current: 0.2 A maximum Active high output: 15 VDC nominal with AC power to the AS950 controller or a 12 VDC nominal with battery power to the AS950 controller.
6| Program Complete output| Green| Typical state: open circuit. This output goes to ground for 90 seconds at the end of the sampling program. Use this output to start another sampler or to signal an operator or data logger at the end of the sampling program.| This output is an open drain output with 18 V zener clamp diode for over-voltage protection. The output is active low with respect to pin 2. Absolute maximum ratings for the output transistor: sink current = 200 mA DC maximum; external pull-up voltage = 18 VDC maximum
7| Shield| Silver| The shield is a connection to earth ground when AC power is supplied to a sampler to control RF emissions and susceptibility to RF emissions.| The shield is not a safety ground. Do not use the shield as a current carrying conductor. The shield wire of cables that are connected to the AUX I/O port and are more than 3 m (10 ft) should connected to pin 7. Only connect the shield wire to earth ground at one end of the cable to prevent ground loop currents.
