Installation and Technical Manual
Rev: B09
Section A: Mounting the BECSys5 Controller
A – 1: Mounting the Controller
The BECSys5 Controller and flow cell are mounted
separately. The BECSys5 enclosure should be
mounted to the wall with four anchor bolts. To
mount the BECSys5 properly, please use the
included mounting template and hardware. Drill the
holes for the anchors using a 3/16” drill bit. Install
the anchors in the wall. Remove the lid from the
unit and place the included screws in the four
corners of the box. Attach the screws into the
anchors. The BECSys5 and flow cell should be
mounted in a location that is free from chemical
fumes and excessive heat, isolated from electrical
interference, and near a power source protected by a
ground fault interrupter. The BECSys5 has a
NEMA4 weather resistant enclosure but should still
be protected if mounted outdoors.
A – 4: Plumbing the Sample Stream
Install the sample stream; ½-inch tubing is
recommended for sample stream pickup and return.
Make sure that you tap the supply off the discharge
side of the recirculation pump, upstream of the
chemical injection points. The sample should be
filtered water. Connect the sample stream pickup
line to the flow cell and run the sample stream return
line from the flow cell to the suction side of the main
recirculation pump. Install ½-inch ball valves to
allow isolation of the sample lines.
A – 5: Free Chlorine Sensor Flow Cell
There are two ways to order the Free Chlorine
Sensor – with the flow cell only, or with the flow cell
and a flow and psi restrictor assembly.
A – 2: Wrapping the Fittings
If you are assembling a flow cell, first open the bag
of flow cell fittings and wrap each fitting two times
around clockwise with Teflon tape.
A – 3: Assembling the Flow cell
Assemble the flow cell as shown below:
When installing the pH or ORP sensor, remove the
wetting cap, then remove any existing Teflon tape
from the sensor threads. Re-wrap the threads with
new Teflon tape. Rinse the sensor tip in de-ionized
water and install as shown.
Warning: These sensors should be handtightened only. Tools are not necessary for
installing the pH or ORP sensor and will
damage the sensor housing.
Page 4
9487 Dielman Rock Island Industrial Dr. St. Louis, MO 63132 Tel:(314) 567-0088
Installation and Technical Manual
The Free Chlorine Sensor requires a constant flow
rate and a constant pressure. This helps ensure that
the ppm level will remain stable.
Warning: Negative pressure will damage the
sensor membrane.
Here is the recommended method for plumbing the
free chlorine sensor flow cell:
Rev: B09
A – 6.2: Free Chlorine Sensor
The Free Chlorine Sensor is supplied with a yellow
protective cap. This cap has an inner sponge that is
used to keep the sensor membrane hydrated. This
cap should be saved for long-term storage.
The sensor can remain in the flow cell for shortterm interruptions in measurement. To prevent
membrane dehydration, the flow cell must not
drain off. If this is not ensured, then remove the
sensor from the flow cell and slide the yellow
protective cap, moistened at the inner sponge,
onto the measuring end of the sensor.
The voltage applied by the controller to the Free
Chlorine Sensor polarizes the surface of the gold
cathode. The polarization period must elapse
before calibration is performed based on the
results acquired through the use of a DPD test kit.
See Section F - 2.3 for filling the electrolyte.
Admission pressure must be above the regulated
pressure (15 psi is the limit on the sensor). Run the
sample stream through a flow restrictor valve (to
maintain flow rate, minimum flow rate requirement
is 8 gph). Take the stream through the flow cell.
Discharge the sample stream to a free outlet (for
example into a surge tank).
A – 6: Sensor preparations
NOTE: As soon as you install the sensors,
immediately move on to the next step to insure that
they always stay wet.
A – 6.1: ORP and pH Sensor
The pH and ORP sensors are shipped with a
wetting cap covering the measuring end. This cap
contains a solution of pH 4 buffer saturated with
potassium chloride (KCl). Gently remove the
wetting cap by unscrewing the sensor and sliding
the cap off of the sensor body.
A – 7: Opening the Sample Stream Valve
Open the sample stream valve and check for leaks.
Note the reading on the compound pressure gauge
and make sure that it shows a positive and steady
pressure. The sample stream should be about 2-20
psi at the flow cell. If this is not the case, then adjust
the valves or relocate the point at which the sample
stream is connected to the recirculation system.
Negative pressure will destroy the sensors. Once
you have a positive and steady pressure, open the wet
test valve and make sure that it generates a vigorous
stream.
A – 8: Plugging in the Sensors
Remove the protective covers from the BNCs. Plug
the pH sensor into the coded BNC jack and the
ORP sensor into the coded BNC jack on the bottom
of the BECSys5 controller by twisting them a quarter
of a turn. Allow the sensors to rinse in the sample
water while you do the wiring (Section B).
It is a good idea to save the wetting cap and
the box that the sensor came in for future
long-term storage.
During shipping, the air space inside the pH glass
may have moved into the bulb. Grasp the sensor
near the cable end and gently swing it through an
arc to force the internal electrolyte into the pH
bulb. Rinse the measuring ends of potentiometric
sensors with de-ionized or distilled water before
installation into a flow cell.

B – 2: Removing the safety shield
To remove the shield, remove the four
screws using a Philips screwdriver.
Gently lift the cover straight up and
set it to the side.
B – 1: Opening The Cover
Remove the cover by loosening the four screws at the
corners with a screwdriver as shown. NOTE: The
screws are captive and do not need to be totally
removed, but only loosened. Once the screws are
loosened, carefully lift the top cover off of the unit.
The cover will still be connected to the base by the
ribbon cable. Set the moisture absorbent packet
found inside aside for now.
B – 3: Supplied Cords
Warning: Make sure power is disconnected
while you wire the unit
You may order your controller with a male power
cord and two female power cords (Only for 115V
applications). Plug the male AC Cord into a GFCI
outlet and connect the chemical feeders to the female
power cords. The two female power cords will have
the following warning tags. Be sure to connect the
correct female power cord to the correct chemical
feeder.
We recommend that you disconnect the ribbon cable
by spreading the two holders at the end of the cable
attached to the cover as shown, unplug the cable and
remove the cover.
NOTE: Be sure to store the cover in a safe, dry place
while you wire the unit.

B – 4: Conduit Connect
Warning: Make sure power is disconnected
while you wire the unit
You may instead order the controller for conduit
connection (For 115V or 230V applications).
TB4 is for the Line power coming into the unit.
Rev: B09
B – 5.1: Externally Powered Wiring
If you wish to use the C (Common) to
power a relay (commonly used to
interlock feeds with the recirculation
pump), you will need to move the black
hat jumpers located to the left of each of
the solid state relays to their upper
position using a pair of long nosed
needle nose pliers (shown left). Be
careful not to put pressure on the relays
as you are slipping between them as you
may damage their connections to the
board.
We recommend using a minimum of 14 gauge
stranded wire for the line power. Use of solid wire is
strongly discouraged.
The black wire goes to L (Line) on the upper level, the
white wire to N (Neutral), and the ground wire to the
terminal marked Earth Ground.
Hats shown in L (Line) positions
NOTE: The black and white wires are colored
brown and blue outside North America.
B – 5: Wiring the Relays
Warning: Make sure power is disconnected
while you wire the unit
The BECSys5 has four solid-state relays. From the
Factory, the controller is configured to use Relay 1 for
the pH Feed and Relay 2 for the ORP/Cl/Br Feed.
The rest of the relays are unassigned.
Hats shown in C (Common) positions
B – 5.2: Relay 1
B – 5.2.1: Line Powered Wiring
The black wire goes to the R1 position, the
white wire goes into any of the unused N
(Neutral) positions, and the Earth Ground wire
goes to any of the unused Earth Ground
positions.
Each relay can be powered from either the L (Line)
terminal that the controller itself is powered from, or
from the common terminals. Relay 1 and 2 share a
common (labeled C1 C2), Relays 3 and 4 have their
own common labeled C3 and C4 respectfully. As
shipped from the factory, all four relays are configured
for Line power.
Note: The black and white wires are colored
brown and blue outside North America.

connector to allow daisy chaining of units. It doesn’t
matter which connector you use – whichever is
easiest. For each unit, connect “A” to “A”, “B” to
“B”, and “Shield” to “Shield.”
B – 6.1: Setting Dip Switches
Located on the left hand side of the Relay
Expansion Module are two dipswitch banks. One
sets the Controller ID, the other sets the Relay
Box ID.
The Controller ID should always be set to 1 – turn
on switch 1 of the “CntrID” bank. Each Relay
Expansion Module should have a different Relay
Box ID – set by the “RlyBoxID” bank. The IDs
can be from 1 to 3 – turn on the corresponding
dipswitch to set the ID.

B – 7: Wiring a Flow Switch
Rev: B09
B – 7.2: Reed Flow Switch
A flow switch must be used in the operation of the
BECSys5 Controller
A paddlewheel flow switch or reed flow switch is
incorporated into the flow cell to disable chemical
feed in the event of loss of flow to the flow cell.
Warning: NEVER BYPASS FLOW
SWITCH CONNECTIONS
The Flow Switch is a critical safety device which
prevents uncontrolled chemical feed.
Uncontrolled feeding of chemicals can result in
injury or death.
Warning: Failure to incorporate a Flow
Switch and Flow cell into the sample
Stream of your BECSys chemical controller
can result in injury or death to swimmers in or
around the pool if the recirculation pump
should fail or shut down.
The reed flow switch is a (2) two-wire switch.
Connect the black wire to the terminal labeled IN,
and the red wire to the terminal labeled + 12.
NOTE: Unlike the paddlewheel flow switch,
the reed flow switch is a directional switch.
Make sure it is installed with the flow arrow in
the proper direction. No check valve is
required with the reed flow switch.
B – 8: Wiring the Amperometric Probe
B – 7.1: Paddlewheel Flow Switch
Connect the black wire of the paddlewheel/rotary
flow switch to the terminal marked ground, the
white wire to the terminal labeled IN, and the red
wire to the terminal labeled + 12. The green “flow”
light on the flow switch will light whenever flow is
present.
Warning: A check valve is must be installed
with the paddlewheel flow switch to prevent
backflow when the system is shut down. If a
check valve is not installed, backflow could give
the controller a false reading of flow and
continue to pump chemicals into the pool.
Connect the red "A" wire to the A terminal, the "K"
white tip with transparent wire to the K terminal, and
the thick unlabeled wire to the ground terminal.
NOTE: This probe requires a minimum flow
velocity of 15 cm/s against its membrane. If the
default calibration is off more than 0.3 ppm, the flow
rate may be too low. Contact the factory for
assistance.
B – 9: Wiring the Temperature Sensor
Connect the temperature probe to the Temp
terminals. The temperature probe is non-polarized,
wire orientation does not matter.

B – 12: Wiring 4-20mA and digital inputs
Depending on what inputs you need, you may need
to re-assign the input to one of the physical 420mA/digital inputs in the firmware. See “Reassignable Inputs” in section C for more
information.
The standard BECSys5 input board comes with four
4-20mA/digital inputs (outlined in red) labeled pH
Inv, Cl Inv, CH3, and CH4. Each input has a + and
– terminal and be configured as either a 4-20mA
input or a digital input by setting the corresponding
dipswitch for that channel (outline in blue). Dip 1
(the left most switch) sets the pH Inv labeled input,
dip 2 sets the Cl Inv labeled input, and so on. The
input is a 4-20mA input when the switch is up, and a
digital input when the switch is down.
Dip 1:
Dip 2:
Dip 3:
Dip 4:
Connect the red wire to the IN terminal and both
the black wire and the silver wire to the ground
terminal. Set SW1 switches 6 = on, 7 = off.
B – 11: Conductivity
You may order the BECSys5 with an optional
Conductivity Input Board.
Connect the conductivity probe to the Cond
terminals. The Conductivity probe is non-polarized
(wire orientation does not matter).
pH Inv
Cl Inv
CH3
CH4
Up = 4-20mA
Down = Digital
The following sections describe how to wire each
device to a 4-20mA/digital input without specifying
which input to wire too. It is up to the installer to
choose one of the four inputs to wire to, then
program the controller to use that physical input for
that input function (MenuÆInputsÆReassign
Inputs).
Example: Wiring a BECSysLS to CH3 to measure
the Surge Pit Level:
1. Power down the controller.
2. Set dipswitch 3 up if down.
3. Wire the BECSysLS to CH3 as shown in the
next section.
4. Power up the unit.
5. Press Menu and log on as Rep if necessary.
6. Select “Inputs”, then “Reassign Inputs”.
7. Select “CH3”.
8. Select “Surge Pit”
9. Press “Menu” again then select “Inputs”, then
“Surge Pit”, and finally “Sensor Type”.
10. Choose “4-20mA Input”

You can adjust the display contrast by holding down
either the up or down arrow keys for two seconds,
then after the controller beeps three times, use the
up and down keys to adjust the contrast.
C – 2: Security Settings
C – 2.1: Access Codes and levels
The BECSys5 controller ships from the factory
with all access codes disabled. The controller will
not ask you for an access code when you press the
menu or other quick buttons until you enable and
set the Rep access code and at least one Operator
access code. Setting Manager access codes is
optional.
If the Rep access code is disabled, you are
automatically given rep access without the
controller prompting you for an access code. This
is true even if you set an Operator and/or
Manager access codes.
Warning: It is strongly recommended to set a
Rep Access Code. By not setting a Rep Access
Code, anyone can access Rep Menus.
To view who is currently logged on, press the lock
screen button while in any menu.
Until you set the rep access code, you will always
have rep access, and until you set at least one
operator code, the controller will never prompt
you to enter an access code to gain access to a
particular screen (see table).

Setting just the rep access code will result in the
default access level being Manager, and the
controller will still not prompt you to enter in an
access code when you press the Menu or other
face panel buttons. However, any items exclusive
to rep access will not be shown unless you log on
manually via the Logon selection in the main
menu.
C – 2.2: Setting Access Codes
To set an access code, press the menu button,
then:
Select System Config
Choose User Setup
Then select the access level you want to set an
access code for.
To set Operator 1's access code, you would select
Oper. Access Codes, then select Operator 1.
The Main Menu will also display who is logged on
along with the version of firmware.
You do not need to set all the access codes for
each level if you do not wish to. Also, a disabled
access code is not equivalent to 000, so entering
000 when it prompts for an access code will only
work if you have specifically assigned an access
code to be 000.
NOTE: Once access codes have been set, certain
programmable options will not be accessible to
Operators and Managers.
Page 16
Pressing and holding the +/- button disables the
access code, while pressing enter will enable and
set the access code to the value on the screen.

Op4 (G), while Op2, Op5, & Op6 are
disabled on that system.
5.
BECS Technology can be contacted for
decryption of this code, providing the
original access code.
C – 2.4: Setting Permissions
You may set what operators, managers, or anyone
have access to in the Permissions menu. By
default, all permissions are set to their lowest level
(Oper, Mgr, & Rep or Anyone). When you select
the Permissions menu under the User Setup menu,
you are given several options to choose from.
By selecting one of these options you are able to
select who has access to what.
If “Oper, Mgr & Rep” is selected, everyone with
an access code is able to modify that setting. If
“Mgr & Rep” is selected, only Managers and Reps
are able to modify the settings. If “Rep only” is
selected, only Reps are able to modify the setting.
The controller's menus incorporate built in help text
to aid in understanding the function of each
parameter, item, and option.
C – 3.1: Common status messages
The very bottom line of the display contains the
time and date on the left while the right is reserved
for a number of status messages; the most
common are as follows:
"Busy..." - Indicates the controller is busy doing
something critical and it cannot stop until it
finishes.
Until this message disappears, the
controller will not respond to your key presses
(although it does record them any will process
them when done). Normally this message is only
seen briefly after changing a setting, but it is also
used for lengthier operations such as factory
defaults and in the extremely rare case where the
internal diagnostics detect a memory problem and
attempts to correct it.
Warning: Interrupting the controller by
turning the power off while it displays the busy
message could result in the complete loss of all
of its settings.
"(1 of 2) (More Æ)" - and the like indicate there
are more options for you to choose from than the
controller could show at one time. Press the right
arrow key (Next) to view them. The left number
indicates the current page, while the right number
indicates the total number of pages.
"Bad Value, Retry..." - Accompanied by an error
beep, this indicates the value you just entered was
not within the allowable range of values and was
not stored.
C – 3.2: The Menu Screens
Most of the features of the controller are
configured via the Menu button's menus. The
menu screens can be broken up into two types:
entry screens and lists.

Installation and Technical Manual
C – 3.2.1: Entry Screens
An entry screen is used to enter a value using
the keypad.
The current value is usually displayed at the top
while the cursor will be positioned under the
current digit or character of the value you are
entering in. The up and down arrows allow you
to move the cursor right or left so you do not
have to retype the existing digits if you only wish
to change one.
Most numerical values will display the minimum
and maximum values you can enter in at the
bottom of the display in the format "< ### to
###>". These ranges many times will be
dependant on other values you have set, such as
alarm points or set points, while others are
simply fixed to stay within a reasonable range.
Entering a value that is not within the acceptable
range will result in an error beep and the
message "Bad Value, Retry..." being displayed in
the status area.
For some values, certain keys may take on
special functions that are explained in the lower
lines of the screen. The Down/up message in
the example above is one of them.
C – 3.2.2: List Screens
The list screens are mainly composed of lists of
menu items that you can choose from by either
pressing an item's number or by using the up
and down arrow keys to select it (indicated by
the arrow) and then pressing enter to choose it.
Using the up and down arrow keys also allows
you to view each item's help text. And if the
item leads to an entry screen or a list screen that
sets a setting (see below), the current value is
displayed in the lower right side.
Page 18
Rev: B09
Lists can also be used to change a setting:
When a list is used this way, it will display the
current setting followed by the words "Change
to:". Because it is a list, you can select an item
with the up/down buttons to see help
information about that particular selection.
There are a few list screens that use the entire
width of the display for displaying values
associated with each item and therefore do
not have help. See Section E: Using the
Quick Set Face Panel Keys for examples of
these types of screens.
C – 3.3: The Lock Screen Key
When not in a menu (i.e. viewing the normal
display), pressing the lock screen key will prevent
the controller from paging the screen to show
more inputs, alarms, and other status information.
See Section D: The Normal Display for more info
about using the lock screen key in the normal
display.
While within any menu, if the user does not press
a key within sixty seconds of the last key press, the
current user is logged out and the screen is
returned to the normal display. To prevent the
controller from timing out, you may lock the
screen.
While within a menu, pressing the Lock Screen key
will bring up a popup menu:
The first option on the popup will be either to
lock or unlock the screen depending on the
current lock state. While the screen is locked, key
presses normally are ignored. However, in some
instances certain keys are given special functions
while the screen is locked, such as using the up
and down arrows to scroll the help text if all of the
help text cannot be displayed at once.

Installation and Technical Manual
You can also lock/unlock the screen without
bringing up the popup menu by holding down
the lock button for one second.
The
controller will acknowledge this action with a
triple beep and the yellow Lock Screen light
will turn on.
The Lock button popup menu also identifies who
is currently logged on, and provides an option for
the user to log off. You can also select cancel if
you pressed the lock button in error.
C – 4: Fixed Inputs
To enter the program menu, press the Menu button
on the front face panel of your controller. This will
allow the viewing of the Main Menu where the
programming options are displayed.
The ppm Input, Cl (Br) Inventory Input, Cl
(Br) feed, and Cl (Br) booster feed are all
displayed as either Chlorine and Cl or
Bromine and Br depending on the chemical
selected in the Cl (Br) feed menu. This
manual is written using the Chlorine setting.
If you select Bromine as the sanitizing
chemical, the controller will display Bromine
and Br instead of Chlorine and Cl, but the
menus and functions are otherwise exactly the
same as shown.
Select Inputs from the menu.
C – 4.1: pH Setup
After entering the Inputs option, select the pH
Setup from the menu. This will allow you to
program the following for the pH Input:
Decimal Places (Rep): This option allows you
to configure the controller to display pH with 1 or
2 decimal places.
The controller sees far more resolution than
what it displays on the screen. Setting the
number of decimal places only affects what
the user sees and the set points they can enter.
It does not affect how accurately the
controller controls.
High Alarm (Operator): The high alarm will
activate when the pH rises above this setting.
Input the desired level and press enter. Disable
this alarm by holding down the +/- key for 1

Input Range (Rep): This value sets the input
range which is whatever the maximum value the
sensor is rated to measure and ideally the value
represented by 20mA (for level, the range is
from 1.0 to 50.0 ft. U.S. or 0.3 to 20.0 meters
metric; for weight, the range is from 100 to
5000 lbs U.S. or 45 to 500 kg metric).
Low Alarm (Operator): This value sets at
what level or weight the pH inventory low
alarm will be activated. Enter the desired level
or weight and press enter. You may also disable
this alarm by holding down the +/- key for 1
second (the range is dependant on the input

Alarm Hysteresis (Manager): This value sets
at what level the pH inventory level or weight
has to rise above the low level or weight alarm
setting before the alarm will shut off. Enter the
desired number and press enter (the range is
10% of the input range).
Input Averaging (Rep): This value sets the
number of samples used to get an average for
the pH inventory level. Enter the desired
number and press enter (the range is from 1 to
20).
Calibrate (Rep): Once you have entered pH
Inventory Setup, select Calibrate from the
menu.
This calibration is only needed if the readings
are accurate at one level/weight, but are off
by an increasing amount the farther away you
go from that level/weight.
If the reading is off by a consistent amount
throughout the input range, perform a single
point calibration by pressing the Cal button
and selecting this input from the list.
It is important that the Input Range is set to
the correct value; otherwise you may find that
the controller refuses to accept the second
value due to it being "out of range" or "points
too close" (see below).
Calibration is a two step process:
1) While the inventory is low, measure or
estimate the current level/weight, enter
this value in as the first point and press
enter. The controller will not time out
and exit the menu while waiting for the
second point of a calibration, so you do
not need to lock the screen here.
2) Fill the inventory by a known amount.
Add this amount to the value you entered
for the first point, enter the sum as the
second point.
Rev: B09
If you discover later that your first point was
off, simply do a single point calibration to
correct it.
If you get a "points too close" error message,
either the values you entered or the input
readings taken for those values were too close
together to perform an accurate calibration
calculation. You either did not add enough
inventory, the Input Range is wrong for the
sensor attached, or there could be a problem
with the wiring if the reading did not change
when you added the inventory.
If you get a "out of range" error message, you
entered a value outside of the configured
Input Range. If the sensor is supposed to be
able to measure the value you entered, then
the Input Range was not set to the correct
value and should be corrected.
Factory Defaults (Rep): This option allows
you to reset the controller back to the factory
defaults of the pH inventory settings.

C – 6.2: pH Control
After entering the Control Outputs option, select
pH Control from the menu. This will allow for
the programming of the following for the pH
control:
Control Type (Operator): Choose from On/Off
or Time Base Proportional control.
In general, if you are using a motor driven
chemical feeder then you should choose the
On/Off option. If you are using a solenoid
driven or pulsed diaphragm chemical feeder
(such as Pulsatron, most LMI models or most
Prominent Models), you should choose the
TBP option. This feature helps to hold a set
point and to minimize over-shoot by making a
standard feeder mimic the action of more
sophisticated modulating feeders.
If you choose the On/Off option and are
feeding up, then the controller will activate
the chemical feeder whenever the pH falls
below the set point and continue to feed until
the pH rises above the set point plus
hysteresis at which point it will stop.
If you choose the TBP option and are feeding
up then the controller will activate the
chemical feeder whenever the pH falls below
the set point and will feed for a percentage of
the Time Base (default one minute)
proportional to the offset from set point. For
the remainder of the Time Base the feeder will
be paused. The feeder will continue this feed
and pause cycle until the controller achieves
the set point plus hysteresis. The closer to set
point, the less time the feeder is ON.
Set Point (Operator): This value sets the desired
level to maintain the pH at. Input the desired pH
set point. (the range is 6.0 to 9.0 ppm)
Span/Prop. Bnd (Operator): This option is only
shown if the Control Type is Time Base Proportional. This
value sets the distance (or span) from the set point
that the output will be proportionally controlled.
(the range is from 0.0 to 2.0)
Warning: Increasing or decreasing the
proportional band may cause the feed to
severely overshoot or never achieve set point.
Adjust this option only when recommended to
do so by a factory representative.
Page 31
9487 Dielman Rock Island Industrial Dr. St. Louis, MO 63132 Tel:(314) 567-0088
Installation and Technical Manual
Time Base (Operator): This option is only shown if
the Control Type is Time Base Proportional. This sets
the total time that control is based on. During this
time, the feeder will turn on for a percentage of
the Time Base and turn off for the remainder (the
range is from 15 to 300 seconds).
Warning: Increasing or decreasing the time
base may cause the feed to severely overshoot
or never achieve set point. Adjust this option
only when recommended to do so by a factory
representative.
Minimum On Time (Rep): This value is the
minimum time the pump will be on during Time
Base Proportional control. This helps protect the
feeder from cycling on or off for too short a
period of time.
Failsafe Timer (Operator): This value sets the
time that the relay is allowed to stay continuously
on. (the range is 0:00 to 18:00 hours)
The most common failures of automated
chemical feed systems are depletion of the
chemical supply and/or chemical feeder
failure. Both problems result in the controller
being unable to reach set point in a reasonable
period of time. The failsafe timer sets the
maximum length of time the feeder can run.
If the feeder has been trying to achieve set
point without success for the selected time,
the controller will cut power to the feeder,
flash the Reset Fail/Safe LED on the face
panel and display a message to alert the
operator.
If in TBP Pause mode, the
controller will reset the timer.
An operator must reset the failsafe through
the Reset Fail/Safe button to re-enable
normal control.
Warning: Disabling the failsafe timers is
highly discouraged. They are an important
safety feature to protect against dangerous
chemical overfeeds and will protect the
equipment from running continuously if it runs
out of chemical.
Hysteresis (Rep): This value sets the amount the
input must rise above (feed up) or fall below (feed
down) the set point before the feed is shut off.
(the range is from 0.0 to 1.4)
Dead Band (Manager): This option is only shown
only if you have both feed up and feed down feeds enabled.
This value sets the amount the input must exceed
the set point by before the feed of the opposite
direction will trigger. (The range is from twice the
feeds' hysteresis to 2.8 pH)
Page 32
Rev: B09
Factory Defaults (Rep): This option allows you
to reset the controller back to the factory defaults
for all of the pH Control settings.
C – 6.3: Chlorine (Bromine) Control
After entering the Control Outputs option, select
the Cl Control from the menu. This will allow the
programming of the following:
Sanitizer Chemical (Operator):
Sets the
sanitizer chemical name (Chlorine or Bromine).
This option controls what chemical name the
controller displays for the ppm Input and the
primary sanitization/oxidizing chemical.
Control Input Src (Operator): This option is only
available if the ppm Input source is set to Calculated or
Probe. Choose between ORP and ppm to use as
the primary control input for the sanitizer feed.
If the ppm Input is selected and the ppm
Input source is set to probe, ORP is still used
for control while the ppm interlock timer is
running.
If the ppm Input is selected and the ppm
Input source is set to calculated, the controller
still controls off of ORP, but the ORP set
point is calculated by the controller based on
the ppm set point, the pH set point, and the
ppm calibration. Modification of any one of
those three values will result in a new ORP set
point.
Control Type (Operator): Choose from On/Off
or Time Base Proportional control.
In general, if you are using a motor driven
chemical feeder then you should choose the
On/Off option. If you are using a solenoid
driven or pulsed diaphragm chemical feeder
(such as Pulsatron, most LMI models or most
Prominent Models), you should choose the
TBP option. This feature helps to hold a set
point and to minimize over-shoot by making a
standard feeder mimic the action of more
sophisticated modulating feeders.
If you choose the On/Off option, then the
controller will activate the chemical feeder
whenever the ORP falls below the set point
and continue to feed until the ORP rises
above the set point plus hysteresis at which
point it will stop.
If you choose the TBP option, then the
controller will activate the chemical feeder
whenever the ORP falls below the set point
and will feed for a percentage of the Time
Base (default one minute) proportional to the
offset from set point. For the remainder of
the Time Base the feeder will be paused. The
feeder will continue this feed and pause cycle
until the controller achieves the set point plus

Installation and Technical Manual
hysteresis. The closer to set point, the less
time the feeder is ON.
ORP Set Point (Operator): This option is NOT
shown if the Control Source is set to ppm and the ppm
Input source is set to Calculated. This value sets the
desired level to maintain the ORP at (the range is
700 to 800 mV).
ORP Ctrl Hyst (Rep): This value sets the
amount the input must rise above the set point
before the feed will shut off (the range is 0 to 200
mV).
ORP Span/Prop. Bnd (Operator): This option is
only shown if the Control Type is Time Base Proportional
and the ORP Set Point is shown above. This value sets
the distance (or span) from the set point that the
output will be proportionally controlled. (the range
is from 0 to 500 mV)
Warning: Increasing or decreasing the
proportional band may cause the feed to
severely overshoot or never achieve set point.
Adjust this option only when recommended to
do so by a factory representative.
ppm Set Point (Operator): This option is only
shown if the Control Source is set to ppm. This value
sets the desired level to maintain the ppm at (the
range is dependant on the ppm high and low
alarms).
ppm Ctrl Hyst (Rep): This option is only shown if
the Control Source is set to ppm and the ppm Input source
is set to probe. This value sets the amount the input
must rise above set point before the feed will shut
off (the range is 0.0 to 2.0 ppm).
ppm Span/Prop Bnd: (Operator) This option is
only shown if the Control Type is Time Base
Proportional, the Control Source is set to ppm,
and the ppm Input source is set to probe. This
value sets the distance (or span) from the set point
that the output will be proportionally controlled
(the range is from 0.0 to 2.0 ppm).
Warning: Increasing or decreasing the
proportional band may cause the feed to
severely overshoot or never achieve set point.
Adjust this option only when recommended to
do so by a factory representative.
Rev: B09
Time Base (Operator): This option is only shown if
the Control Type is Time Base Proportional. This sets
the total time that control is based on. During this
time, the feeder will turn on for a percentage of
the Time Base and turn off for the remainder (the
range is from 15 to 300 seconds).
Warning: Increasing or decreasing the time
base may cause the feed to severely overshoot
or never achieve set point. Adjust this option
only when recommended to do so by a factory
representative.
Minimum On Time (Rep): This value is the
minimum time the pump will be on during Time
Proportional control. This helps protect the
feeder from cycling on or off for too short a
period of time.
Failsafe Timer (Operator): This value sets the
time that the relay is allowed to stay continuously
on. (the range is 0:00 to 18:00 hours)
The most common failures of automated
chemical feed systems are depletion of the
chemical supply and/or chemical feeder
failure. Both problems result in the controller
being unable to reach set point in a reasonable
period of time. The failsafe timer sets the
maximum length of time the feeder can run.
If the feeder has been trying to achieve set
point without success for the selected time,
the controller will cut power to the feeder,
flash the Reset Fail/Safe LED on the face
panel and display a message to alert the
operator.
If in TBP Pause mode, the
controller will reset the timer.
An operator must reset the failsafe through
the Reset Fail/safe button to re-enable normal
control.
Warning: Disabling the failsafe timers is
highly discouraged. They are an important
safety feature to protect against dangerous
chemical overfeeds and will protect the
equipment from running continuously if it runs
out of chemical.

entering SLEEPING state, the recirculation
pump will continue to run until the heater and
ozone fireman switch timers run out. The
sleep timer starts when all conditions have
been met, not when controller shuts down the
recirculation pump. Only a timer triggered
backwash, the sleep timer expiring, or the
Power Saver timer expiring will put the
system into the WAKING UP state. No
feeds or input alarms will operate while the
system is asleep or waking up.
Page 40
Rev: B09
• WAKING UP: Timed period (Exit Sleep
Delay) where the recirculation pump is ran
before allowing feeds to operate. Once the
wake up time expires, if the Power Saver
timer expired, the system will remain awake
even if all feeds are satisfied. Otherwise the
system enters the CONTROLLING state,
performing a backwash if triggered, and will
reenter GOING TO SLEEP again once all
feeds have been satisfied again.
While Power Saver is active, the system
automatically uses the Alternate Temperature
set point for the Heater and the Alternate
ORP and/or Alternate ppm set points for the
Cl feed.
Enable (Operator): Enable or disable the Power
Saver feature.
4 Event 28 Day Timer (Operator): The 4 Event
28 Day Timer allows you to program power
saver's schedule. See the section on the Chlorine
(Bromine) Control's Alt Set Point for details on
how to set this.
Sleep Duration (Operator): Sets how long the
controller will sleep.
Enter Sleep Delay (Operator): Sets how long to
wait after all of the feeds have been satisfied
before entering SLEEP (i.e. the GOING TO
SLEEP duration). If any feed starts feeding during
this time, the controller goes back to the
CONTROLLING state.
Exit Sleep Delay (Operator): Sets how long to
wait after coming out of sleep before allowing any
feeds to run. (i.e. the WAKING UP duration).
Alternate ORP (Operator): Sets the alternate
ORP value used during power saver and the Cl
feed's alternate set point event timer.
Alternate ppm (Operator): Sets the alternate
ppm value used during power saver and the Cl
feed's alternate set point event timer.
Alternate temp (Operator): Sets the alternate
temperature value used during power saver and the
heater's alternate set point event timer.

Section F: Maintenance
The BECSys5 requires no maintenance other than a
periodic calibration check and sensor cleaning.
F – 1: Potentiometric Sensors (pH and ORP)
F – 1.1: Electrode Cleaning
Slow response time and large offsets may indicate the
electrode has become coated. The nature of the
coating will dictate the type of cleaning technique
that should be used.
Warning: You may lightly blot the water
On a pH sensor tip on a paper towel, but never
vigorously rub or wipe the pH bulb because this
may scratch the delicate outer layer on the pH
glass impairing its response.
Soft coatings, like bacterial films, are best removed
using a squirt bottle or the water jet from a faucet.
If this is not successful, then gently wipe with a
soft wet cloth.
For a more severe coating, first try a strong
detergent (something similar to Dawn liquid
detergent) and warm water, using a soft brush (like
a toothbrush). Isopropyl alcohol on a Q-tip is
another good choice. Rinse the measuring end in
distilled water before reinstallation.
Greasy and oily coatings are best removed with a
detergent solution or a solvent that will not attack
the sensor body. Methanol and isopropyl alcohol
are good choices for solvents. Acetone, MEK,
THF, or trichloroethane will irreparably harm the
electrode.
Hard coatings, like calcium or lime scale, are best
removed with a solvent appropriate for the
particular coating. A 5% solution of hydrochloric
acid (HCl) would be a good choice for calcium
scale. If unsure of the proper solvent to remove a
hard mineral coating, then alternate between a 5%
hydrochloric acid and a 4% sodium hydroxide
(NaOH) for 10 minutes each. After treating the
electrode with these strong acids or bases, rinse the
electrode with water and soak it in a pH 4 buffer
for at least 1/2 hour.
The platinum tip of an ORP sensor can be cleaned
with an abrasive as a last resort. Gently scour the
platinum with a 600 grit wet emery cloth, or
preferably, a 1-3 micron alumina polishing powder.
F – 1.2: Long-Term Storage
Save the wetting cap that came with the sensor for
long-term storage. After removing the sensor
from the flow cell, clean it as in routine
maintenance, then store it in the wetting cap using
Page 48
a pH 4 buffer saturated with potassium chloride
(KCl). The potassium chloride will prevent
electrolyte from leaching out of the sensors
reference cell. The wetting cap only needs to be
half full. If a number of sites are going to be
serviced, for example, at the end of a season, then
it might be a good idea to carry a pint of 4.0/KCl
storage solution.
F – 2: Free Chlorine Sensor
Check the sensor measurement at regular intervals (at
least once a month), and perform a recalibration if
necessary.
As a rule of thumb, refill the measuring cell with
electrolyte once per season (or every 12 months).
F – 2.1: Cleaning
If the sensor membrane is visibly soiled, then
remove the sensor from the flow cell and clean the
membrane with a gentle water jet, or soak the
membrane for a few minutes in a 1% to 10%
hydrochloric acid (HCl) solution. Avoid chemical
additives as they may damage the membrane.
Replace a heavily soiled or damaged membrane.
F – 2.2: Long-Term Storage
Save the yellow protective cap that came with the
sensor for long-term storage. After removing the
sensor from the flow cell, empty the measuring cell
of electrolyte (particularly if dehydration of the
membrane is possible). Rinse the measuring
chamber and electrode shaft with cold water and
let them dry. Then screw the measuring cell down
loosely and not to the stop, so that the membrane
remains unstressed. When the sensor is put back
into service, it will have to be refilled with
electrolyte and run through an initial polarization
before calibration.
F – 2.3: Filling electrolyte
Unscrew the measuring chamber from the shaft.
Hold the measuring chamber at an angle and fill in
approximately 7 to 8 ml electrolyte, up to
approximately 1 cm under the top edge.
Tap the filled chamber several times on a flat
surface to release any air bubbles.
Screw the electrode shaft into the measuring
chamber vertically from above, displacing all air
from inside. Tighten slowly to the stop.

F – 3: Conductivity Sensor
F – 3.1: Cleaning
The sensor should be kept as clean as possible for
optimum measurement accuracy. The frequency
of cleaning will depend upon the application.
Warning: Residue from cleaning solutions, or
even skin contact, can leave trace elements on
the sensor that may affect the reading,
When necessary, wash with strong detergent
(something similar to Dawn liquid detergent) and
warm water, using a pipe cleaner or small soft
brush for most fouling. Rinse with tap water to
completely remove the detergent, and then
perform a final rinse with distilled or de-ionized
water.
For hard scale, try a mild acid solution. Vinegar
will often do it, 5% hydrochloric acid if the vinegar
doesn’t work. You can use acetone or something
similar on this sensor.
Warning: Do not soak the sensor in a strong
solvent as the O-rings may be attacked after
time.
