How Aquaculture Facilities Benefit from Automation with YSI's Monitoring and

Control Instruments

Overview for Today

• M&C instruments • Expansion Modules • Control and monitoring applications • Feed smart feed timer • Sensor placement • Applications where used

- RAS, Aquaponics, Live Haul, Aquarium and Research

Models 5200A, 5400 and 5500D (M&C)

Multiparameter; DO, pH, Cond, Salinity, ORP (Redox), Temp. • 5200A-AC or DC

Multichannel (4) Galvanic DO • 5400-AC or DC

Multichannel (1 to 4) Optical DO • 5500D-01-AC or DC • 5500D-02-AC or DC • 5500D-04-AC or DC

I/O Expansion Modules

• I/O expansion modules expand the measurement and control capability of the system

• Can be added to any 5200A, 5400, 5500D network and physically positioned where needed

• Analog Inputs (4-20 mA, 0-1VDC, 0-5 VDC and digital (on/off)) for additional sensors and 3rd party sensors with isolated 24 VDC power for 4-20 mA sensors

• 4-20 mA Outputs to control valves, pumps, etc. or to interface to a PLC

• Instrument power via 110 VAC/220 VAC and 12 VDC

REM Expansion Module

• REM expansion modules expand the control capability of the system with 4 additional dry contact relay’s

• Can be added to any 5200A, 5400, 5500D network and physically positioned where needed

• Each dry contact relay can be powered via 110 VAC/220 VAC or 12 VDC/24 VDC power with a common, normally open and normally closed connection to meet most required control needs

• Instrument power via 110 VAC/220 VAC and 12 VDC

Monitoring & Control


YSI aquaculture instruments offer a variety of ways to automate your process:

- 4-20 mA output: scalable, analog, versatile

- Dry-contact relays: automated electrical switching, ideal for on-site alarms


Analog output (4-20 mA) - Using a controller instrument and

an IOEM, you can output a proportional analog signal to a pump directly, or to a series of VFDs (variable frequency drives)

- With multiple VFDs, you have backup pumps in case you experience an equipment failure

YSI IOEM


The 5500D continuously monitors DO concentration in the raceway.

YSI IOEM


The IOEM module translates the output value for the DO to an analog signal.

YSI IOEM


The VFDs interpret this analog signal and scale their output frequency as programmed.

YSI IOEM


The pumps run at variable speeds depending on the signal that they receive from their corresponding VFDs.

YSI IOEM


This same system also outputs a power consumption value that is continuously monitored and logged by the 5500D to notify staff of pump failures or excessive energy use.

YSI IOEM


Dry-contact relays - 5500D has 8 built-in dry-contact

relays (5200A has 4) - Act as an automatic switch to

turn devices on and off - Can be used to trigger alarms to

alert your staff of events that may need their attention

- Can be connected to an autodialer for backup alerts


The 5500D continuously monitors DO concentration in the tank.


When a control condition is met, a relay is triggered in the 5500D (or an REM module if present)


The relay, depending on how it is connected, can activate or

deactivate pumps, alarms, feeders, etc.


The connected device will remain active and the 5500D will continue

to monitor.


Once the DO is back in its user-specified range, the relay will switch again, deactivating the

pump.


Choose your optimum dissolved oxygen value


This value determines when a “Low DO”

condition is triggered


This value determines when a “High DO” condition is triggered


These values determine a secondary High or Low condition, for applications that demand a rapid response


Determine when the High and Low alarms are triggered here


Choose which relays to activate in the drop-down boxes for each condition


Other applications… • pH control – pH sensors, dosing pumps, and relays • Disinfection – ORP sensors, ozone or UV system, and relays • Auto-top off – digital float switches, pumps, and relays • Feed Smart™ system – built-in software, DO sensors, temperature

sensors, and relays

Solenoid dosing pump UV disinfection system Feeding systems

Feed Smart™ Feed Timer

• Standard in YSI 5200A, 5400 and 5500D continuous monitors

• 5200A controls one feed system while the 5400 and 5500D can control up to 4 separate feed systems

• Setup from monitor menu or from AquaManager™ desktop software

• Can be used with most powered feeders • Up to 255 feedings per day

• Can decrease feed amounts by user defined % based on DO, Temperature and pH values (pH is for 5200A only)

• Increases feed amount on a daily basis using the user defined FCR (Feed Conversion Ratio)

• Feed amounts are determined by “rate based” calculations and a simple one-step calibration process

• Units of measure; ounce (oz.), pound (lbs.), kilogram (kg), gram (g)

• Can be used with the REM module

Feed Smart™ Feed Timer

• Continuous Mode

- takes the number of feedings per day and divides them equally within 24 hour for each day that you select to feed starting at midnight, i.e. feed 12 times per day will feed every two hours

• Timed Mode

- input a start and end time, the software then takes the total number of hours to feed and divides that by the number of feedings per day, i.e. start at 8:00am and end at 8:00pm and the fed 12 times a day then the feeders will turn on once an hour between 8:00am and 8:00pm

Feeder and DO Control

• 7 tanks monitoring DO and Temp • Controlling DO and Feeders with 2 5500D monitors and 2 REM’s • Has 8 solenoids to control DO (1 for each tank and an emergency backup) controlled

by one 5500D and one REM • Has 7 feeders controlled by the second 5500D and REM using Feed Smart timer

Best Location for Sensors

Sensor placement considerations: - Location of aeration equipment - Location of heating elements - Location of feeders - Flow of water/mixing - Minimum water depth

Make sure that your sensor cap stays wet. If it dries out, the paint layer can become brittle

and delaminated.
