Modules are the electronic controls and components that make up the Controller.
Each module has a specific function or functions that tell the Controller what information to accept and what
information to display. The modular design of the Controller enables it to interface with many types of modules
including Sensor, Communication, and Relay modules.
Sensor modules determine the types of sensors signals the control can recieve. There are three sensor modules
currently available for the Controller.
AK111: pH, ORP, temp and heater control. Calculated PPM can also be displayed (Part# 724000010).
AK112: pH, AKColor(PPM), heater control (Part# 724000380)
AK113SC: pH AKColor(PPM) ORP, Temp (Part # 725000390)
The Controller has the ability to work with several types of communication modules. The Controller can communicate
with a PC through an RS232 cable, a standard modem, or a wireless modem.
Controller Modem: High-speed modem. (Part # 725000010)
Wireless Modem: The wireless modem allows the Controller to be accessed over the internet from any PC.
Wireless modems are a perfect solution for installations without phone lines. Please note that the wireless
modem and the standard modem can not be installed in the same Controller.
The Controller is able to automate nearly any device in your pump room. The Controller uses a relay module to turn
electricity to the device on and off. Each Controller can control up to 3 relay modules. Each relay module can control
one device. Relay modules are available in seven different models. The type of relay module used depends on the
load requirements of the device that is controlled with the relay module. To determine the load requirements, please
consult the instruction manual or the device manufacturer. Any combination of the seven models of relay modules can
