NexSys System From Lakewood Instruments

The NexSys control system is the latest in a long line of reliable, easy to use controllers from Lakewood Instruments. The NexSys control system uses the latest in microprocessor technology with a 5.7” Color Touch Screen interface for a high level of application flexibility.

All features, parameters, settings, and functional requirements to operate, program, and monitor the NexSys control system are accessible from the touch screen and DO NOT require the use of an external input, PC or device to operate or access. The NexSys control system even includes On-Board Help Screens with wiring, programming, and maintenance instructions.

The NexSys control system comes standard with the following system interfaces and DMX outputs: LON EIA 709 FTT10, BACnet IP, and MODbus TCP. The unit comes from the factory ready to integrate readings into a BAS, including: The state of any installed relay (On/Off) , Water meter readings, Conductivity readings, Additional sensor readings (ph, ORP), sensor alarms, Additional 4-20mA input readings, Flow condition, and other digital inputs.

The NexSys control system comes standard with Ethernet capability through a browser (HTML5) interface that allows 100% access to all features and control parameters of the controller.

Inputs:

Up to 8 active Sensor inputs (2 TWR Conductivity, 2 pH and 2 ORP, 2 MU Conductivity) can be ordered in various combinations.

Water meters - Two Water meter inputs are standard and be factory or field upgradeable for two additional (Total four) water meter inputs

Each relay shall be capable of being configured to operate with either of the two flow (digital) input for activation or deactivation

Expansion capabilities: The unit will be factory or field upgraded. Additional expansion features include:

  • 4 Additional Fully programmable relays ( NRLY Nodes)

  • 8 Sensor inputs. Combo of Conductivity using NCON and pH or ORP Probes using NpH/ORP Nodes. Requires the purchase of additional probes/Plumbing kits.

  • 8 Additional 4-20MA inputs (2 N420I Nodes)

  • 4 Additional Digital Inputs (NDIG Nodes)

Interface/Communications:

The NexSys comes standard with the following system interfaces: LON EIA 709 FTT10, BACnet IP and MODbus TCP (As well as Incorporate DMX outputs). The unit shall comes from the factory with all tables and outputs defined for Information being transmitted, including:

  • The state of any installed relay (On/Off)

  • Water meter readings

  • Conductivity reading

  • Any additional sensor reading (ph, ORP)

  • Any sensor alarms

  • Any Additional 4-20mA input readings

  • Any Additional 4-20 mA output reading

  • Flow condition (and any other digital inputs

Remote Communications:

The NexSys controller has standard Ethernet capability through and HTML interface that allows 100% access to all features and control parameters of the controller.

The NexSys remote access allows the user to alter, confirm and manipulate 100% of configurations.

All features, parameters, settings and functional requirements to operate, program and monitor the NexSys controller are accessible from the touch screen and DO NOT require the use of an external input, PC or device to operate or access. (BMS config requires use of interface program)

The NexSys will be upgradeable to send E-service reports to a subscribed service (user to set up account with a service at their discretion).

The NexSys displays operating values, via a color touch screen, color coded graphs for all sensor and relay operation times and readings with time and date stamps. User shall be able to manipulate graph via zoom and scroll features.
