General Safety Information

Electrical Hazards and Warnings

Prior to connecting the controller, read the user’s manual for proper connection

and operating information.

Follow National Electrical Code (NEC) safety requirements when wiring and

connecting a power source and sensors or other devices to the controller. Failure

to do so could result in injury, death or damage to equipment and property.

Make sure the proper input voltage is applied to the controller. Improper voltage

will result in damage to the unit.

Use caution when removing the controller from its case, there may be live voltage

present at the terminals. This should only be done by a qualified technician.

All terminal screws must be tightened securely. Terminal screws not properly

secured can cause an electrical short that may damage property, equipment or

cause injury or death. Terminal screws improperly secured may fall into

equipment causing possible damage to property or equipment.

This instrument is not intended for use in life safety applications.

Important:

For applications where physical injury or equipment damage might

occur in the event our product fails, we recommend the installation of

independent safety equipment with its own independent sensor that will shut

down the process.

INPUT • • • • Keypad selection of input type (refer to Cycle 3). Display resolution: 0.1ºF/C or 1ºF/C (RTD-Pt100). Input sample rate: 10 per second (10Hz). Accuracy: Thermocouples J, K, T, N, E: 0.2% of span, ±1ºC, ±1 digit. Thermocouples S, R: 0.25% of span, ±3ºC, ±1 digit. Pt100: 0.2% of span, ±0.5ºC, ±1 digit. • Input impedance: • Pt100 measurement: 3. OPERATION Operator Interface Thermocouple: >10MΩ DIN 43760 standard (α=0.00385). 3-wire circuit, cable resistance compensation.

Before the controller is ready to be used in a given process, it requires some basic configuration, such as: • Input Type (T/C, or Pt100) at the tYPE prompt, section 5.3 (page13). • Output Configuration (control, alarms) at (ntr prompt, section 5.3 (page13). • Setpoint Variable SV. • PID parameters (or hysteresis for ON/OFF control), see Cycle-2 (page12). Other functions, including alarms, ramp to soak, etc., may be useful for a better system performance. 3.

PANEL ASSEMBLY: 4.1 INITIAL STARTUP: First remove the mounting clamp and insert the controller into the panel cut out. Place the unit into the panel cut out and slide the mounting clamp from the rear to a firm grip at the panel. The internal circuitry can be fully removed from the housing without disconnecting any wiring. By using the thumb, just press the tab in the lower part of the front panel, grab the front panel firmly and pull the front face and circuitry from the housing.

5. CONFIGURATION RAMP & SOAK Prior to first operation, the controller should be fully configured. After the controller is energized and is in normal operation mode press the SET UP key several times until the rvn parameter is displayed. Using the or keys change the value to 0, this disables all outputs.

5.2 CYCLE 2 – TUNING AND ALARMS: Atvn CYCLE 2 AUTO-TUNE: Activates the auto-tuning of PID parameters. 0 - Auto-tune is off (led “AT” = off) When set to 0 the controller is in Manual PID control or ON/OFF control (pb = 0 ). 1 - Auto-tune is on (led “AT” = on) When set to 1 the controller is in PID Auto-tune control. Default: 0 5.3 CYCLE 3 – INPUT TYPE, AND OUTPUT CONFIGURATION: CYCLE 3 INPUT TYPE: Selects the input sensor type to be connected to the controller.

A1fv A2fv A1xY A2xY ALARM 1 Function: (code 0 to11): Refer to Table 1 page 14 for function description and respective codes to set at this prompt. Default: 0 ALARM 2 Function: (code 0 to11): Refer to Table 1 page 14 for function description and respective codes to set at this prompt. Default: 0 Dif-SPAL+ SV (SV)+(SPAL+) Differential (Band Alarm) 4 Dif-SPAL- ALARM 1 HYSTERESIS: Defines the differential range between the PV value at which the alarm is turned on and the value at which it is turned off.
PAGE 9
Inhibition at power-up: Alarm blocking at power-up inhibits the relay alarm from activating when the unit is first energized. The alarm will only trip after the process variable reaches a new alarm situation. Alarm Hysteresis: Defines the differential range between the PV value at which the alarm is turned on and the value at which it is turned off. 5.4 CYCLE 4 – CALIBRATION LEVEL: NOTE: All input and output types are factory calibrated. This cycle should only be accessed by experienced personnel.

1. Operation: Connect power input to the proper terminal conections. See page 6 sections 3.1 & 3.2. After power-up the controller is in the Operation Cycle (Cycle-1). Refer to Cycle Menu on previous page. Disable all outputs by pressing the SET UP key until rvn is displayed in the PV display. Press the or keys until 0 is displayed in the SV display. The controller outputs are now disabled. To move from one Cycle menu to the next press and hold the SET UP key for 4 seconds.
