4.3 Mounting
ControlMaster is designed for panel mounting. For NEMA4X B
protection, a panel thickness of 2.5 mm (0.1 in.) is required. A
To panel-mount the controller:
1. Cut a hole of the correct size for the controller in the
panel – see section 4.2, page 10 for dimensions.
2. Insert the controller into the panel cut-out.
Referring to Fig. 4.4:
3. Position the upper panel clamp A at the top front of C
the case against the panel.
4. Locate the panel clamp anchor B in slot C.
5. Tighten the panel clamp anchor screw D until panel
clamp A is secured against the panel. F

Caution. Do not overtighten the screw. D

E
6. Repeat steps 3 to 5 to fit the lower panel clamp E
and panel clamp anchor F.

4.4 Jumper Links for Relay Outputs

The factory-set default for relay action is N/O.

4.4.1 Removing the Controller from its Case

The ControlMaster inner assembly must be removed from its
case to access the relay contact jumper links.
Referring to Fig. 4.5: A
1. Insert the bezel release tool A (supplied) into the front
panel slot B below the function keys.
2. Press the bezel release tool A fully in and then down B
C until the shoulder on the tool engages with the
notch behind the controller front plate.
3. Pull the bezel release tool A to withdraw the inner A
assembly from the case D.
C
Note. If the bezel release tool is mislaid, 2 small flat-
headed screwdrivers (4 mm [0.15 in.]) can be used as
alternative tools, one inserted into the front panel slot and
the second for leverage in the notch on the underside of
the controller front plate. The notch is the only area that
can be used as a leverage point – do not attempt to lever D
the front panel from any other area.

4.5 Electrical Connections

Warning.
 The instrument is not fitted with a switch therefore a disconnecting device such as a switch or circuit breaker conforming to local safety
standards must be fitted to the final installation.
 It must be mounted in close proximity to the instrument within easy reach of the operator and must be marked clearly as the disconnection
device for the instrument.
 Remove all power from supply, relay and any powered control circuits and high common mode voltages before accessing or making any
connections.
 Use cable appropriate for the load currents. The terminals accept cables from 18 to 14 AWG (0.8 to 2.5mm2).
 Always route signal leads and power cables separately, preferably in earthed (grounded) metal conduit.
 It is strongly recommended that screened cable is used for signal inputs and relay connections.
 The instrument conforms to Mains Power Input Insulation Category 2, Pollution Degree 2 (EN601010–1). 
(This equipment is protected through double insulation – Class II.)
 All connections to secondary circuits must have basic insulation.
 After installation, there must be no access to live parts, e.g. terminals.
 Terminals for external circuits are for use only with equipment with no accessible live parts.
 If the instrument is used in a manner not specified by the Company, the protection provided by the equipment may be impaired.
 All equipment connected to the instrument's terminals must comply with local safety standards (IEC 60950, EN601010–1).

Note. Terminal screws must be tightened to a torque of 0.1 Nm (0.9 lbf/in.).

Autotune Note. Autotune is enabled only if the control type is PID – see page 33.
Autotune is a user-activated feature that enables automatic setting of the controller PID parameters. Autotune changes
the controller output and then monitors the process response to calculate the optimum PID settings. Autotune uses a
relay type function with hysteresis that initiates a controlled oscillation in the process. New PID parameters are calculated
and stored in the controller automatically.
Note. To achieve the best results from Autotune, switch the controller to Manual control mode (see page 6) and adjust the
output until the PV is stable (close to the normal setpoint) before initiating Autotune.

First Step Defines the maximum size of the first output step in the autotuning process. Autotune adjusts
the output step magnitude according to the process noise and response to provide a reliable
measurement of the process characteristics with the minimum disturbance of the process. The
maximum setting provides the largest output step possible from the current output value.
Dynamics Used to configure Autotune to give optimum results according to the type of process being
controlled.
Normal Determines if derivative control is required automatically and calculates the control settings
accordingly.
Deadtime Sets the proportional and integral terms to give optimum control for the deadtime process
(higher proportional band [lower gain] and shorter integration time).
PI Used for processes where it is known that derivative control is not required.
Reset If the controller is transferred to another process or duty, Autotune must be reset. The current
PID (see page 33) settings are retained but the internal process data is cleared ready for a
completely new process with different characteristics.

Tracking Enables the control output to be configured to follow a tracking signal when in Auto control mode.
When in Manual control mode, the output can be adjusted by the user as normal. If the slew rate
function is enabled, the switching from Manual to Auto is bumpless. If the value set by the tracking
signal is different to that set manually, the output ramps to its expected auto value at the speed set
in the slew rate. If the Signal Source is set to None, tracking is disabled and the normal PID output
(see page 33) is provided as the control output.
Source Sets the source of the signal required to be tracked by the output in Auto control mode. If set to None,
Signal Source output tracking is disabled.
Mode Selects if the output slew rate function is enabled and when it applies.
