Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the YSI 5X00. Throughout 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 The 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. This allows control of multiple water systems from
one instrument. Peripheral devices wired to the instrument respond to user-defined
configurations to ensure that stable water conditions are maintained. The 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 configuration* data logs
- 2000 data set memory for sensor data
- field upgradable software and firmware
- backlit LCD with timer function - input and output data displayed continu-
ously
- menu-driven programming with four (4) softkeys
- networking capability - connect up to (32) 5X00s and/or 5200As on one
network via RS485 protocol
- optional AquaManager® PC software** 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 Specifications - page 13 for complete details on all 5X00 features.
*A configuration log records any changes made to the 5X00 setup. For example,
changing a set point for an alarm would be recorded in the configuration log.
Introduction
**AquaManager displays real time data from 5X00 instruments and provides data
logging, graphing, autopolling, mapping, and system configuration control from a
PC. AquaManager is a valuable tool for remote and local access applications.
Product Description
The 5X00 system manages aquatic environments by automating control and alarm
devices to maintain stable water conditions.
A 5X00 system is configured 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. float switch, probe assembly)
- *output peripheral devices (i.e. aerator)
- 5X00 user-defined configuration
- 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. This data is processed based on instrument
configuration. For example, a DO sensor (input) reports a 5.4 mg/L value and
relay #3 (output) is configured to activate an aerator when value is ≤ 5.5 mg/L. The
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. The front panel includes an
LCD which continuously displays current system conditions. Front Panel Keys are
used to navigate screens and program configurations. Compression fittings located
at the bottom of the enclosure provide liquid-tight connections for wiring peripheral
devices and instrument components.
