Controller N1100 
UNIVERSAL PROCESS CONTROLLER – INSTRUCTIONS MANUAL V2.1x 
PRESENTATION 
The  N1100 is  a  process  controller incorporating a PID  algorithm  and 
universal inputs (sensor and standard  signals) and outputs  (logical, 
relay and analog outputs). It holds in one single instrument all de main 
features that are needed for the vast majority of industrial processes. 
SAFETY SUMMARY 
The symbols below are used on the  equipment and throughout this 
document  to  draw the  user’s  attention  to  important  operational and 
safety information. 
CAUTION or WARNING: 
Read complete instructions prior 
to installation and operation of the 
unit. 
CAUTION or WARNING: 
Electrical Shock Hazard 
All safety related instructions that  appear  in the  manual  must be 
observed to ensure personal safety and to prevent damage to either 
the instrument or the  system.  If the instrument is used in a manner 
not specified  by the  manufacturer, the protection provided  by  the 
equipment may be impaired. 
OVER-TEMPERATURE PROTECTION 
When designing  any  control  system it  is  essential  to consider what 
will happen if  any part of the system should fail. In temperature 
control  applications  the  primary  danger is  one  in which  the heating 
remains  constantly  on. In  any application  where  physical  injury  or 
destruction of equipment might  occur,  it  is  recommend  to  install an 
independent  protection  equipment,  with  a  separate  temperature 
sensor, to  disable the heating circuit in case of overheating. Please 
note that the alarm relays within the controller will not give protection 
under all failure conditions. 
INSTALLATION 
Insert  the  unit  into  the  panel  cut-out  and  slide the  mounting  clamp 
from the rear to a firm grip at the panel. 
ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS 
All electrical connections are made to the screw terminals at the rear 
of the controller. They accept wire sizes from 0.5 to 1.5 mm2 (16 to 
22 AWG).  The terminals should be tightened to a torque of 0.4 Nm 
(3.5 lb in). 
To  minimize the  pick-up  of  electrical  noise, the  low  voltage DC 
connections and the sensor input wiring should be routed away from 
high-current  power conductors. If this  is  impractical, use shielded 
cables. In general, keep cable lengths to a minimum.
