II. Description
NanoTron units are designed to automate the addition of various chemicals or activate other devices via a
relay output.
Nano-F2 units include:
• Two totalizing water meter inputs that can be congured for contacting head or hall eect meter inputs.
• Two drum level inputs that can be set to disable the relay outputs.
• Two mechanical relay outputs with normally open and normally closed contacts that can be congured
for powered or dry contact relay operation (see page 4).
• A “force on” timer that allows for manual activation of the relays for a user dened amount of time.
Each of the 2 timers in a NanoTron-F2 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.
Timer will store up to 5 additional activations during an individual run time.
2. Recycle Timer – Provides a user dened “o” cycle in HH:MM and a user dened “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. Batch Timer - Timer activated by the Force On/O key for a user dened run time.
5. Utility - Relay is on as long as it is not a ow or drum alarm.
6. After Timer 1 - This allows Timer 2 to run after Timer 1.
III. Installation
Electrical Wiring
The controller has an internal regulated power supply that will operate in the range of approximately 100 to
240 VAC on the incoming wiring. Output relay(s) are protected with a replaceable fuse. Relay output voltage
will equal the incoming line voltage.
Prewired units are supplied with a 16 AWG cable with a 3-wire grounded USA 120 volt plug for incoming power
and 18 AWG 3-wire grounded receptacle cords for all control relay outputs. Conduit units are supplied with
liquid tights and adaptors for easy hard wiring to supplied connector.
NOTES:
1. Liquid tight
fittings and some
labeled signal leads
are provided for
signal (low voltage)
connections, such as
water meter inputs.
2. Hall eect meters
that require +12 VDC
must use an external
power supply (TFS-
PWR).
CAUTION
1. There are live circuits inside the controller even when the power switch on the front panel is in
the OFF position. Never open the front panel without rst disconnecting power from the outlet.
Prewired controllers are supplied with an 8 foot, 18 AWG power cord with USA style plug. A #1
Phillips driver is required to open the front panel.
2. Low voltage signal wires (probes, ow switch, water meter, etc.) should never be run
in conduit with high voltage (like 115VAC) wires.
3. Never attempt to land connections to the controller without rst disconnecting power from the outlet.
4. Do not block access to disconnect power during mounting and installation.
5. The controller should be connected to its own isolated circuit breaker, and for best
results, the ground should be a true earth ground, not shared. Any attempt to bypass the grounding
will compromise the safety of users and property.
6. The electrical installation of the controller must be performed by trained personnel only and
conform to all applicable National, State and Local codes.
7. Operation of this product in a manner not specied by Advantage Controls may result in damage
to equipment or persons.
8. Avoid mounting in locations that expose the controller to direct sunlight, vapors, vibration,
liquid spills or extreme temperatures; less than 0°F (-17.8°C) or greater than 120°F (50°C).
EMI(electromagnetic interference) from radio transmissions and electric motors can also cause
damage or interference and should be avoided.
