    Product Description 1.1 1.1.1 GENERAL This instrument is a microprocessor based single loop controller capable of measuring, displaying and controlling temperature, pressure, flow, and level from a variety of inputs. Control functions, alarm settings and other parameters are easily entered through the front keypad.
  • Page 6 1.1.3 CONTROL The instrument can be programmed for on-off, time proportioning, current proportioning, or position proportioning control implementations depending on the model number. A second control output is an available option. Proportional control implementations are provided with fully programmable separate PID parameters. 1.1.4 ALARM Alarm indication is standard on all instruments.

    Installation and Wiring 2.1 Prior to proceeding with installation, verify the AC power input required by the instrument. AC power input is either 115 VAC or 230 VAC and is specified in the model number and on the wiring label affixed to the instrument housing. See Figure 2-4 (page 13) for a wiring label description.

  • Page 8: Preparation For Wiring 2.2

    Preparation for Wiring 2.2 2.2.1 WIRING GUIDELINES Electrical noise is a phenomenon typical of industrial environments. The following are guidelines that must be followed to minimize the effect of noise upon any instrumentation. 2.2.1.1 INSTALLATION CONSIDERATIONS Listed below are some of the common sources of electrical noise in the industrial environ- ment: •...

  • Page 9: Noise Suppression

    In applications where a High Voltage Transformer is used, (i.e. ignition systems) the secon- dary of the transformer should be isolated from all other cables. This instrument has been designed to operate in noisy environments, however, in some cases even with proper wiring it may be necessary to suppress the noise at its source. 2.2.1.4 USE OF SHIELDED CABLE Shielded cable helps eliminate electrical noise being induced on the wires.
  • Page 10 Contacts - Arcing may occur across contacts when the contact opens and closes. This results in electrical noise as well as damage to the contacts. Connecting a RC network properly sized can eliminate this arc. For circuits up to 3 amps, a combination of a 47 ohm resistor and 0.1 microfarad capacitor (1000 volts) is recommended.

    Appendix B Glossary of Terms Automatic Reset (Integration) Automatic reset is a Tune mode parameter that will bias the proportional output(s) to compen- sate for process load variations. This parameter is adjustable from 0.0 to 100.0 repeats per minute. Factory default is 0.0. The display codes is ArSt. Automatic Transfer Automatic transfer is a Program mode parameter that will allow the instrument to switch from the Manual to the Control mode of operation automatically when the process value reaches...
  • Page 64 Hysteresis This parameter is adjustable from 0 to 300 units representing the width of the band (half above and half below setpoint). Used with On-Off or Alarm outputs to reduce cycling. For instance, with a value of 4 and a setpoint of 70, the output will turn On when the process variable drops to 68 and stays On until 72 is reached, then turns Off the output.
  • Page 65 Rate (Derivative) This parameter is adjustable from 0.0 to 10.0 minutes and specifies how the control action responds to the rate of change in the process variable. For example, if the process variable is rising rapidly to setpoint, power is turned off sooner than it would be if the rise were slow. In effect, derivative action anticipates lags within the system and shifts the proportioning band by an amount determined by the rate of change of the input sensor.
