Ramp Function:
Ramp
Mode sets the Start, End, and Ramp time. It may be used in “Cycle Mode” and
“Amp x Time Mode”. In Voltage control, the Current Limit is set to its maximum
value. In Current control, the Voltage Limit is set to its maximum value.

Cycle
Mode:
In this mode, the controller outputs
the Current and Voltage set points for a pre‐programmed
time. The process will start with a Ramp, if enabled, and then continue with a
DC‐cycle until the Cycle Time expires or a manual stop command
is initiated.
If Polarity Reversal is enabled, the
polarity status will be indicated on the Operating Screen by displaying Anodic
or Cathodic.
Amp x Time:
In this
mode the controller outputs the Current Limit and Voltage Limit set points
until a preprogrammed Amp x time value has been reached. If the Ramp function is
enabled, the controller will first output the ramp cycle and then continue in
DC cycle until the A x time value has been reached or a manual stop command is
initiated.

3 AMP x TIME Preset Values:
- AMPS x hours (Ah)
- AMPS x minutes (Amin)
- AMPS x seconds (Asec)
Amp x Time Monitor:
The Amp x
time Monitor can be set to: A x hours (Ah), A x minutes (Amin) or A x seconds
(Asec).

Trends for Voltage and Current:
The Set
and Actual Values Trend Graph displays the changing values that track both
Voltage and Current, as a curve on the screen.
The
Current is represented by a solid line and the Voltage is represented by a
dashed line.

Actual Values Monitor:
The Actual
Values Monitor displays Current and Voltage Set and Actual Values and Actual
Temperature, if Temperature sensor is used.

Programmable Relays:
There are
8 programmable relays in the UPC 5000. Four of the relays pre-set from
factory as Main Relay, Bypass Relay, Fault and Pulse Block.
The
following can be selected per a relay:

Dosing Relay Timers:
In the
Dosing Relay Timers screen, 2 Timers can be programmed to switch 2 dosing
relays on for a
pre‐programmed
time after Amp x Time has been reached.
