GETTING STARTED
1. Install the control as described on page 4.
3. For best results when programming changes are necessary, make all
changes to the Initial Setting mode (Pages 13-14) before making changes
to the Regulation Mode (Pages 11-12) or Operation Mode (Pages 10). If
any error messages occur, check the Diagnostic Error Message Section
(Page 18) for assistance.

INSTALLATION
Mount the instrument in a location that will not be subject to excessive
temperature, shock, or vibration. All models are designed for mounting in
an enclosed panel.
Select the position desired for the instrument on the panel. Prepare the
panel by cutting and deburring the required opening per the panel cut out
dimensions listed below. Follow the mounting instructions listed on page
5. Lastly, wire the controller per the appropriate wiring diagram listed on
page 6.

MOUNTING METHOD
Step 1: From the front of the panel, slide the controller housing through
the cut out. The housing gasket should be against the housing
flange before installing.
Step 2: Insert the mounting brackets into the mounting grooves on the
top and bottom of the controller (4C, 8C, and 16C).
Step 3: Push the mounting brackets forward until the bracket stops at
the panel wall.
Step 4: Insert and tighten the screws on the bracket to secure the
controller in place. (The screw torque should be 0.8 kgf-cm).

WIRING
Do not run thermocouple or other class 2 wiring in the same conduit as
power leads. Use only the type of thermocouple or RTD probe for which
the control has been programmed. Maintain separation between wiring of
sensor, auxiliary in or out, and other wiring. See the Initial Setting Menu
for input selection.
For thermocouple input always use extension leads of the same type
designated for your thermocouple.
For supply connections use No. 16 AWG or larger wires rated for at least
75˚ C. Use conductors only. All line voltage output circuits must have a
common disconnect and be connected to the same pole of the
disconnect.
Input wiring for thermocouple, current, and RTD; and output wiring for
current 14 VDC is rated CLASS 2.

FRONT KEY FUNCTIONS
Key functions are as follows:
INDEX: Pressing the INDEX key advances the display to the next menu
item.
ENTER: Stores the value or item change. If not pressed, the previously
stored value or item will be retained. When pressed during the
Operation Mode, the controller switches to the Regulation Mode. If
held for more than 3 seconds during the Operation Mode, the controller
switches to the Initial Setting Mode. If pressed during the Regulation
Mode or Initial Setting Mode, the controller will return to the Operation
Mode.
SECURITY FEATURES
The C series controller has two built in security lock settings to prevent
unauthorized personnel from changing parameter settings. These
parameters are set in the Operation Mode.
The LoC1 setting affects all parameters in the controller. If LoC1 setting is
enabled, the operator will have to unlock the controller to make any
changes to the controller’s parameters.
The LoC2 setting affects all parameters except the set point. If LoC2
setting is enabled, the only parameter that the operator will be able to
change is the set point. In order to change any other parameters, the
operator will have to unlock the control before making a change.
In order to unlock the control, the operator must depress the ENTER and
INDEX key simultaneously.
Page 7
CONTROL OPERATION DESCRIPTION
The HOME display is the normal display while the control is operating. If
no errors or functions are active, the HOME display will indicate the
Process Variable that is being measured on the top display and the Set
Variable on the bottom display.
Heating or Cooling
Temperature Control can be achieved by either heating or cooling. Please
refer to the following for the operation of each setting.
Control Modes are selected by changing the S-HC parameter in the Initial
Setting Mode.
Page 8
PROGRAMMING AND OPERATION FOR PID
Theory of Operation
The PID method of control is based on the individual tuning of proportional
band values, integral time values, and derivative time values to help a unit
automatically compensate for changes in a control system. The
proportional band is the range around the set point in which the control’s
proportioning takes place. The control increases or decreases the output
proportionately to the process temperature’s deviation from the set point.
The integral time eliminates undershoot and overshoot of the set point by
adjusting the proportioning control based on the amount of deviation from
the set point during steady state operation. The derivative time eliminates
undershoot and overshoot by adjusting the proportioning control based on
the rate of rise or fall of the process temperature. The integral deviation
offset correction (ioFn) improves the speed in which the process value
reaches the set point value. If this parameter is set to zero, the output will
be zero when the process value is equal to the set point value. If the
integral time parameter is used only to eliminate steady state error, it may
take a long time to reach the set point because it needs time to
accumulate the error. This parameter defines the default output level on
start up. When the integral time is set at 0, then the proportional derivative
offset correction (PdoF) would replace the integral deviation offset
correction, but serves the same function.
Program Set Up
In order to use the PID function in the C series controllers, the Control
Mode will have to be set to PID in the Initial Setting Menu. After changing
the Control Mode, the PID parameters can be accessed in the Regulation
Menu. The PID parameters can either be programmed manually or they
can be set by the controller using the auto tune function. The auto tune
will use trial and error to tune the PID parameters to give the control the
most precise control. Since the time to accurately tune the control may
differ depending on the process, the controller can also be manually tuned
to known PID values prior to running auto tune. The Run/Stop parameter
must be set to run in order to start auto tuning.

PRECAUTIONS
WARNING!
Mount the controller in a location that will not be subject to excessive
temperature, shock, or vibration. All models are designed for mounting in
an enclosed panel.
1. Always use recommended solder-less terminals: Fork terminals with
isolation (M3 screw, width is 7.0mm (6.0mm for 32B Series), hole
diameter 3.2mm).
Screw size: M3 x 6.5 (With 6.8 x 6.8 square washer). Screw size for 32B
Series: M3 x 4.5 (With 6.0 x 6.0 square washer). Recommended tightening
torque: 0.4 N.m (4kgf.cm). Applicable wire: Solid/twisted wire of 2 mm2,
12AWG to 24AWG. Please be sure to tighten them properly.
2. Do not allow dust or foreign objects to fall inside the controller to prevent
it from malfunctioning.
3. Never modify or disassemble the controller.
4. Do not connect anything to the “No used” terminals.
5. Make sure all wires are connected to the correct polarity of terminals.
6. Do not install and/or use the controller in places subject to: Dust or
corrosive gases and liquid, high humidity and high radiation, vibration
and shock, high voltage and high frequency.
7. Power must be off when wiring and changing a temperature sensor.
8. Be sure to use compensating wires that match the thermocouple types
when extending or connecting the thermocouple wires.
9. Please use wires with resistance when extending or connecting a platinum
resistance sensor (RTD).
10. Please keep the wire as short as possible when wiring a platinum
resistance sensor (RTD) to the controller and please route power wires as
far as possible from load wires to prevent interference and induce noise.
11. This controller is an open-type unit and must be placed in an enclosure
away from high temperature, humidity, dripping water, corrosive materials,
airborne dust and electric shock or vibration.
12. Please make sure power cables and signals from instruments are all
installed properly before energizing the controller, otherwise serious
damage may occur.
13. Please do not use acid or alkaline liquids for cleaning. Please use a soft,
dry cloth to clean the controller.
14. Wait at least one minute after power is disconnected to allow capacitors to
discharge, and please do not touch any internal circuit within this period.
15. This instrument is not furnished with a power switch or fuse. Therefore, if
a fuse or power switch is required, install the protection close to the
instrument. Recommended fuse rating: Rated voltage 250 V, Rated
current 1 A. Fuse type: Time-lag fuse.
16. Note: This controller does not provide overcurrent protection. Use of the
product requires that suitable overcurrent protection device(s) must be
added to ensure compliance with all relevant electrical standards and
codes. (Rated 250 V, 15 Amps max). A suitable disconnecting device
should be provided near the controller in the end-use installation.
