I. Introduction
MICROtron microprocessor based controllers are designed to provide a wide range of control functions for
recirculating water treatment systems. The controller is programmed through a front panel keypad and can
be congured to provide a customized control system for your application. Your particular unit’s functions can
be determined by comparing the units model number to the Model Numbering table listed below.
Model Numbering
MICROtron units have two base models and a few optional features. Your unit may be supplied with one or
more of the features described in this manual. To determine what features apply to your unit check the model
number label located on the controller enclosure. Example: MICRO-C-E3

II. Description
MICROtron units are designed to automate conductivity control, the addition of various chemicals, or the
activation of other devices via a relay output.
MICRO-C units include:
* One totalizing water meter input that can be congured for contacting head or hall e󰀨ect meter inputs.
* Four mechanical relay outputs with normally open and normally closed contacts.
* A “manual relay” timer that allows for manual activation of the relays for a user dened amount of time.
Conductivity Control (C) - Conductivity monitoring and control of Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) in a recirculating
water systems in terms of electrical conductivity measured in MicroSiemens/cm. The conductivity scale can
be selected from three ranges (low, mid and high) in the Congure menu (see page 8). Three selectable feed
timers are also included (see timer description below).
Feed Timer - Selectable timers can be individually programmed as one of the following types:
1. Pulse Timer – Accepts dry contact pulses from a water meter (supplied separately). It can accumulate
1-9999 pulses to activate the timer to run from 0-99 minutes, 59 seconds in minutes and seconds.
2. Recycle Timer – Provides a user dened “o󰀨” cycle in HH:MM and a user dened “on” cycle in
MM:SS that is repeated constantly.
3. 28-Day Timer - 28-day feed timers, typically used for biocide feed are based on a 28-day cycle with
two independent programmable feed cycles allowing for feed on selectable days and weeks.
4. *Post Bleed Timer - The relay is activated after a conductivity bleed cycle and runs for the set
percentage of that bleed cycle.
5. *With Bleed Timer - Activates the relay output simultaneously with the bleed and limits the amount
of time the relay output will be on during the bleed cycle.
6. Post Timer - The relay is activated after the RUN rime of another timer for the set percentage of the
selected timer.
*NOTE: MICRO-F4 timers only have post, pulse, recycle and 28-day timer types available.
