 SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

DANGER: There are no user-serviceable parts in this instru-

ment. Do not remove cover, as high voltages exist
inside the unit. Refer servicing to your dealer.

DANGER: If thermocouples are at a high voltage, this voltage

will be present at other points inside the unit.

DANGER: For continued fire protection, replace fuse only with

a fuse of the specified current, voltage, and type.
Remove power cord from wall socket before check-
ing or replacing a fuse. High voltages exist on fuse
terminals.

WARNING: To avoid electric shock, the power cord protective

grounding conductor must be connected to earth-
ground.

APPLICATION DATA
Applications for the Temperature Controller include heating and cooling of
solids, liquids, and gases. For all applications, there are certain set-up opera-
tions that should be made carefully to assure optimum and safe performance.
The power and type of heater, the positioning of the sensor, the amount of
thermal insulation, the flash point of the heated material and the many con-
troller set-up menu options are among the many variables to be considered in
setting up the controller.
One of the most important of these considerations is the heater sizing. A heater
that is too low powered may not be able to raise or even maintain the material at
the desired set point. A heater that is too high powered will not maintain precise
temperature control and may be unsafe. Because of the many system vari-
ables, optimum heater sizing must be determined experimentally; however, an
approximation can be made through a few calculations. These calculations are
included in a software program available from your dealer.

DESCRIPTION
GENERAL
The Temperature Controller is designed to maintain a constant, pre-set pro-
cess temperature. It uses a temperature sensor to detect the temperature of
the process. Using a microprocessor software algorithm, it adjusts a heater or
cooler by varying the output duty cycle. The Temperature Controller is a single-
loop controller intended for laboratory or industrial applications. The unit can
control loads of up to 10 amperes (A).
The Temperature Controller is housed in a rectangular metal enclosure, with
plastic bezels on the front and back. All connections are made on the rear of
the unit. The display and keypad are on the front. A bail bar, or tilt stand, is
used to elevate the front display panel for easy viewing and operation. The
unit can also be mounted in a panel with the use of an optional panel mount

 kit. A two-line, 16-character, 14-segment vacuum fluorescent display is used
for display of operating, setup, and alarm parameters.
A number of accessories can be used with this Temperature Controller, includ-
ing various types of temperature sensors, heating units, cooling units (such as
fans or pumps), remote alarms, and recorders.

The SET key allows you to change the control setpoint (SP), using the arrow
keys. Pressing the SET key again will exit the setpoint mode.

ALARM Key
The ALARM key enables you to acknowledge temperature control alarm con-
ditions and silence the audible alarm. Pressing the ALARM key will erase
any alarm messages on the display and stop the ALARM from flashing. If the
alarm condition is still present, the ALARM LED will remain on until the PV
(process variable) is out of the alarm condition.
Refer to Setup Procedures for additional information on setting the appro-
priate alarms.

TUNE Key
The TUNE key will start an AUTO tune cycle. Heat (or cooling) is automati-
cally applied to determine PID values. AUTO tuning must be enabled in the
setup mode for this key to function. Refer to the AUTO Tuning section for
additional information on this setting.
NOTE: When the TUNE key is pressed, the output is turned full on three
times for a period of time and overshoot of the setpoint will occur.
Do not use the AUTO tune feature if this would have an adverse
affect on your process.
RUN/STOP Key
Pressing this key when the Temperature Controller is stopped will start the
control process and activate the load, if required. Pressing this key when the
Temperature Controller is running will cause it to stop.

HEAT, COOL, TUNE LED Annunciators

These three indicators will light to indicate Temperature Controller functions.
The green HEAT light will turn on when power is being applied to the heater
output. The green COOL light will turn on when the Temperature Controller is in
the cooling mode and power is applied to the cooler output. The yellow TUNE
light will turn on when the Temperature Controller is in the AUTO tuning mode.

Alarm Hysteresis
1. Alarm Hysteresis determines when the alarm is going to be out of the
alarm condition. Alarm hysteresis prevents actuation of nuisance, or
recurrent, alarms. Hysteresis is either added or subtracted to the alarm
point, depending on whether a HI or LO ALARM has been set.
For example: If hysteresis is set at 1 degree and the HI alarm has been
set to trigger when the temperature reaches 100 degrees FAHRENHEIT,
the alarm will trigger at 100 degrees. As soon as the temperature drops
below 99 degrees the alarm condition will terminate.
