AK110 AKColor™ Screen Navigation
The AK110 controller may be configured to interface with the Acu-Trol AKColor™
Colorimetric Sensor. This requires the installation of an optional colorimetric PPM-
capable sensor card in place of the standard pH/ORP/Temperature sensor card.
The AK110, when interfaced to an AKColor™ sensor, may only make measurements
for "free" chlorine PPM, even if the AKColor™ is equipped to make "total" chlorine
PPM measurements as well.
When the AKColor™ with ORP backup sensor card is installed in the controller, it is
automatically detected upon power-up. The type of sensor card detected will
determine which sensor readings or menu options are available to the user. The
variations of the user interface with an AKColor™ with ORP backup sensor card are
outlined on this page.
A primary difference is the supplanting of the default ORP measurement-based control
with PPM measurement-based control of relay 2. With an AKColor™ with ORP
backup sensor card installed, the AK110 will control relay 2 based upon PPM
measurements as long as the DPD level is estimated to be above 0%. When the
estimated DPD level drops to 0%, relay 2 will instead be controlled based upon ORP
measurements.
Configuration options for the AKColor™ sensor are made available on the
Configuration Menu Screen.
The status of the AKColor™ sensor is displayed on the AKColor™ Status Screen,
which is easily accessible from the Main Status Screen.

The AKColor™ Status Screen
displays the sensor status, clear and

calculated free chlorine PPM.
The AK110 controller is limited to
taking "free" chlorine PPM
measurements with the AKColor™
sensor.

When an AKColor™ with ORP backup sensor module is installed, the second row of
the display will alternate between showing PPM and ORP information. When
chemicals are estimated to be present in the AKColor™, the PPM measurement and
setpoint will both be displayed.
When the AK110 estimates that the DPD and buffer solutions have been consumed,
the PPM measurement is shown, but the setpoint displays an error condition.
