Power Wiring Circuits Typical Wiring Diagrams Figure 2b: Typical 120 Vac for -B & -T Output -F, -S Output - 120/240 Vac The -F output is 20 mA at the low temperature end of the pro- portional band and 4 mA at the upper end of the proportional band.
Thermocouple Wiring Circuits Use thermocouple and extension wire that conforms to the appropriate thermocouple type specified on the serial number tag. In thermocouple circuits, the negative lead is colored red. Extension wires must be of sufficient size so that on long runs the thermocouple circuit resistance does not exceed 100 ohms.
The typical control system contains the sensor, controller (2000/3020) Operation and the process (load). The sensor produces a small signal propor- tional to the measured temperature of the process. This signal is amplified by the controller, where it is compared with setpoint tem- perature.
Layout of the front panel is shown below. To reach the adjust- Front Panel Layout ments, swing the top of the door forward and down. The pro- portional band adjustment is on the right side and sets the gain of the controller. The offset (manual reset) adjustment is on the left and corrects for offsets from the setpoint tempera- ture.
Output Function How to Configure Output Function Switches Switches There is a switch assembly on the bottom board (see bottom board illustration). This four-position switch regulates cycle time and output selection. It is factory-configured for the plug- NOTE: in output ordered.

NOTE: If close control cannot be obtained after carefully repeating the above procedures, check to see if the thermo- couple probe is in good contact with the heated process, and if the heaters are correctly sized for the application.
