Hach-Lange POLYMETRON 9500 Basic User Manual: System startup

Graphical display

The graph shows concentration and temperature measurements for each channel in use. The graph

supplies easy monitoring of trends and shows changes in the process.

1. From the graphical display screen use the up and down arrow keys to select a graph and push

the home key.

Option Description

MEASUREMENT VALUE Set the measurement value for the selected channel. Select between AUTO

SCALE and MANUALLY SCALE. For manual scaling enter the minimum and

maximum measurement values.

DATE & TIME RANGE Select the date and time range from the available options.

System startup

When initially powered up, the LANGUAGE, DATE FORMAT and DATE/TIME screens appear in

order. After these options are set, the controller performs a device scan and displays the message

SCANNING FOR DEVICES. PLEASE WAIT... If a new device is found, the controller performs an

installation process before displaying a main measurement screen.

If the scan finds previously installed devices without configuration changes, the main measurement

screen of the device in the number one position appears immediately after the scan is complete.

If a device has been removed from the controller or is not found during the next power-cycled or

menu-driven scan, the controller displays a DEVICE MISSING message and prompts to delete the

missing device.

If no sensor is connected to an installed analog module, the controller will indicate an error. If devices

are connected but not found by the controller, refer to Troubleshooting on page 24.

Set the language, date and time for the first time

The controller displays the language, date and time edit screens when the controller is powered on

for the first time, and when it is powered on after the configuration settings have been set to their

default values.

After the language, date and time options are set for the first time, update the options as necessary

through the setup menu.

1. In the LANGUAGE screen, highlight a language in the options list and push the enter key.

English is the default language for the controller.

2. In the DATE FORMAT screen, highlight a format and push the enter key.

3. In the DATE/TIME screen, push the right or left arrow keys to highlight a field, then push the up

and down arrow keys to update the value in the field. Update the other fields as necessary.

4. Push the enter key. The changes are saved and the controller performs a start-up scan for

devices. If connected devices are found, the controller displays the main measurement screen for

the device in the number one position. If the controller fails to find connected devices, refer to

Troubleshooting on page 24.
